Diablo 3 on console is a superb game. So damn superb, that I’m dreading starting all over again in the upcoming Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil Edition, when I switch from the Xbox 360 version of the game for a PlayStation 4 experience. That means losing hours of progress, skills and an arsenal of rare weapons. Turns out, I was worried for nothing, because you’ll be able to access your mighty character from across the console divide.
Provided that you’re on Battle.net that is, according to Destructoid. If you’ve registered your Gamertag and PSN ID on the Blizzard online service, that will allow you to transport your character across, whether it be from Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 versions of the game onto the new-gen Xbox One and PlayStation 4 platforms. There is at least one limitation here, as you can’t transport your character from PlayStation 4 to Xbox One, and vice versa. That may be due to the consoles considering one another to be “icky-gross booger-brains”. I might have made that last part up.
Diablo 3: Utimate Evil Edition arrives on August 19, almost an entire year after the core game was released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The Ultimate Evil Edition includes Diablo 3 and it’s expansion, and if you’ve avoided it because you reckon that a Blizzard RPG has no place on a console, then you have no idea what you;re missing out on.
The game doesn’t just work on that kind of hardware, it works beautifully. It’s been retooled to take advantage of PlayStation and Xbox inputs, resulting in an experience that will have you constantly playing until you ding another level. Well maybe, just one more level. Juuuuuust one more…

So a lot of people recommended this game to me saying the console version was really awesome…But (Disclaimer : My opinion ) This game is extremely boring I was so bored after a few hours. I didn’t really enjoy building my character out like I do in other rpgs and the whole game just felt shallow. I’m a huge D2 fan, so I was really disappointed with D3

I think the problem for me is that I played D2 to death. I mean day and night. So when D3 came out it was shiner with new characters but in essence more of the same. Still enjoyed it immensely but I just don’t feel like playing it over and over like I did with D2
Umar
July 30, 2014 at 10:40
Yeah same here. It wasn’t a bad game…but just didn’t have that appeal to pull you in like D2
Hammersteyn
July 30, 2014 at 10:41
Maybe it’s because D2 came out in 1999 and the wow factor was so much bigger. D3 just could not do the same more than ten years later.

Will the expansion not be available separately, or do you have to purchase the Ultimate Evil Edition? I already have the core game on Xbox 360.

Now if I could pull my PC Barbarian in, I would consider it. Still haven’t played the expansion even though people reckon it fixes the issues I have with the original game – barring of course the ONLINE requirement for a single player game. Did dabble on console and seemed much better there though, but not willing to start from scratch in a game I already have.

Have a Wizard (it is a wizard right?) as well, and a mid-level Hunter thingy. But the Barbarian was my favourite.

Awesome apparently Linking your PSN account to Blizzard’s Battle.net server nets you some undisclosed “legendary rewards and bonuses” when the game arrives.

Be Careful when porting your saved game over. If you have more than one character, it will port them all over. If you switch the character, to play the other, it will want to erase the progress on the first one. Happened to me this morning. LOST all my progress on the character. Months worth of game play down the drain over a level 1 wizard.
