The PSN preload lets you play at 12AM EST on launch day, so that means 9PM PST for me :O

Yep, there was a blurb about it at the end of the video Kyoufu posted above.

I'm really thorn between the X1 and PS4 versions... don't really care for online since I want this for couch coop.
X1-
1080p/60FPS
Patchable
I have two controllers
PS4-
1080p/60FPS
Patchable
"Some" bonuses
Remote Play (can't say I care much about this since I want to play with someone on the couch...)
I have ONE controller
Are there any other major differences between the two versions? Think not.
I've been playing this game on PC since launch but somehow I'm excited for the consoles version. I wished the PC version had controller support but it doesn't seem that way.

nope, no major differences
you cant mod saves on xbox one so hacked gear should be impossible to acquire.
edit: not exactly sure but this is still possible with ps4

I believe so
New set. Hasn't been uploaded to the main page yet, but heres a list.

Pretty good list. Nothing too terribly crazy. Definitely going to try and make a point of platinuming it.
Just glad theres no
Paragon level 200+ or some such bullshit

this is a great vid- I love the fact an item SPECIFICALLY GENERATED for a friends character could drop at any time. I will be sending all the things-
Yeah should be able to, I've used mine as a second controller for Towerfall, Trials, Trine 2 and a couple of others, seems to work with all games.
Agreed, which is a lot different than say D2 or D1 not just torchlight or even Path of exile.
suikodan I say this all the time controller's require a different balancing act for diablo. Would be extremely hard for blizzard to balance the game if you allowed typical pc setup with the controller at the same time. I love both console and pc version for variety of reasons.
Except the huge loop hole of people being able to transfer last gen UEE saves to the new generation. That is where the hacked gear will come from. Already seen the transfer does not get rid of all the hacked gear just some.
Shame about that. :/
I'll be playing with GAFers anyway so not a huge deal. Will matchmaking be littered with cheaters or is it a rare thing?
Yeah, hacked gear doesn't seem like it will ever go away. In the gamespot stream they talked about it a bit and said they can't get rid of it, but, after the most recent patch hackers will have to get more "creative" with the items. Not entirely sure what that means, but, I assume they are a bit more limited in what they can do but it will still be possible to hack them.
Both are very tanky characters. Barbarian is more of a pure melee class, it has weapon throw and ancient spear but you'll be mostly standing next to the enemies. Barbarians generate their resource by dealing damage or by taking damage, so naturally you'll always want to be in the thick of it.
End-game Crusaders are actually more of a mid-range class, the popular Crusader builds on PC are without wrath generators and focus around Shield Toss, Heaven's Fury, and Fist of the Heavens. It plays almost like a tanky wizard at times, but with much less mobility.
Crusaders also have a submechanic around cooldown reduction, their class set's bonus is aimed towards that as well.

I have a review code for PS4 version I can activate on Sunday. Though there is no talk of the embargo. Guess embargo is over already?
So they're allowing users on consoles to trade gold then, even tho they took the ability from PC players.
May pick up the PS4 version for some of the stuff they mention in here like the nemesis system tho if enough people on my friend's list are playing it.

Good god, why do I not have a Vita yet!?
they destroyed hacked gear on last gen with the latest patch
are you absolutely positive that it was hacked gear ? he was 69 after all
Let's just say my 500 hour level 70 Barbarian doesn't do that much damage on a single attack.
Dude is cheating so hard.
Because item trading is awesome. Console > PC

Why would there be an embargo? This is essentially just ported PC content that's already out in the wild, right?

True but there was indeed an embargo on the console versions before. Odd... yes, but for real.

Maybe they didn't want to spoil the specifics of dat dodge roll!

By the time you have some decent gear (which drops like candy now), it will be a breeze. The game barely even starts before Torment.

yes but actually doable on console as you can play it offline/couch coop without having to worry about disconnects/lag spikes
dat hardcore act3 lag kill for me is still felt to this day

Very, you will unlock skills every X levels and you are free to try any build you want, without penalization. Just change skills and test.
It does have stats and buff but they are all easy to understand. Get new gear, it will tell you if gain more health , more damage, etc.
Even if you preffer solo the MP is very easy to get in. And you will preffer playing in this way. Better gear, more challenge. No need to talk just walk and crush.
This game have 4 player couch-co-op. That will fill an interesting part that Destiny doesn't have.

You sure? I preordered it digitally yesterday, and it had a countdown timer to 3 AM EST Tuesday morning.

PSN midnight releases are for PST time-and have been for a while
I got midnight PST when I ordered and the count down confirms it in the PS4 PSN store.

Gold pickup is split between party members? That's.... ugh.
That's different than PC, right? It's been so long

That must be co-op which is fair IMO.
What makes me avoid HC like the plague is the fact that endgame Diablo 3 is worth playing and sub-70 Diablo 3 completely sucks.
All the good builds, challenging elite packs, and interesting items are locked until higher levels or max level. I appreciate the concept and the higher stakes, but I absolutely loathe playing this game at less than maximum character level. My plan of attack is going to be similar to that of quest's, where I'll rush one person to 70 immediately to help redo that process all the more quickly for everyone else afterwards. I may even ditch any MF gear that I am using now to try to ensure that I don't get some bullshit like a L61 Shard of Hate or Mirrorball in the process.
Put another way, I'd be totally fine with HC if abilities weren't locked by level and all available items were scaled to drop and roll at Level 1 and up. As it stands, there is no way in hell that I will ever play sub-70 D3 a minute more than I absolutely must.
Thank god, when I used to play co-op games like this back on PS3/2, it was always aggravating when one guy would constantly grab all the coin loot.
Thats how I feel leveling up was a pain and don't like doing it. I like the hunt for better gear. Starting over when I die takes the fun out of that.
I should be on around 6am central on release morning if you want to level up. I should be on most of the day until 6pm central time. I might take hour out of the day to take my dogs to the park. Hell who am I kidding I will probably be up 4 am central time because won't be able to sleep lol.
My current work week is Monday Midnight until Friday Midnight. I'm usually home by Noon. My current sleep hours are 4PM to 10PM.
I have a feeling that I'm going to totally miss the bus on playing this game with new people as well as being blown out the gate by everyone else, only to catch up by the time they all quit.
Well, whatever. I have four controllers.

Thanks. Thats one easy platinum lol. Longest trophy of vanilla diablo was clearly looting 10 millions gold. This time looks like it'll be to reach lvl 70 on all 5 classes.

HC is what gives Diablo meaning.
The added tension and intensity is the last piece of the puzzle.

Apparently ShopTo shipped my (preordered) copy a few hours ago, yippee!
Some people just backup their save on the cloud and HC has no more ''danger'' than softcore. That's the only thing I don't like on console.
