Blizzard Repeats that Console 'Interpretation' Won't Delay PC Diablo III
Just as it said in November
Blizzard has responded to reports based on a Gamasutra job ad for a 'Senior Producer, Console Diablo III". The response is suitably ambiguous.
The ad wants, "a highly organized individual with outstanding communications and project management skills for the Diablo team. The ideal candidate has prior experience in console game development and has a keen knowledge of how each discipline operates and interacts."
The response states, "Please note that this is not an announcement of a console title. We are first and foremost developing Diablo III for Windows and Mac PCs and don’t intend to allow any possibility of a console interpretation to delay or affect the release of the game.”
This, of course, mirrors exactly what the company said in 2010 on its community forum:
"We’re exploring a Diablo-related concept for consoles and are currently looking to fill a few senior console-related positions on the Diablo III team. As we’ve said in the past, with proper care the gameplay could suit the console platform, and we’re interested in seeing what talent out there might be interested in such a project. If you’re passionate about all things Diablo and have the requisite skill and experience, then head over to our jobs site to check out the positions and apply.
