I don't find them to be terribly compressed (on PS4) but I find the animation to not be really smooth.
They're not going to do store updates on the weekend.
I thought with pre-loading of the PS4 the server just sends a unlock code/key at a certain time. So be no need to update the store but I could be wrong about that.
Yes, the UEE will automatically recognize your save file and use it.

I wouldn't count on it. Blizzard generally uses horrible video compression on PC as well and on their other games like Starcraft, too. Since the UEE in a single language version is only 16GB according to Blizzard I would expect the same low video quality.
It's especially disappointing because the cinematic are usually in amazing quality on the bonus Blu-rays of the Collector's Editions.

There is no inferno anymore. And I see plenty of barbs in higher torments

Nemesis system sounds great.
Wait, what?
No inferno ? Well I missed a major update lol
There's no more normal,nightmare,hell,inferno. Monster scales to your level and you have multiple difficulties:
Normal, Hard, Expert, Master and Torment I-VI.
Hmmm... will try before I buy I think.
Really? I was pretty pissed off when I saw them on PS3. Diablo has always been known for the jaw-dropping cinematics so to see them look like a low quality YouTube video in the actual game is a travesty, especially with a whole blu-ray to hold them. I honestly would have passed on it if I had known. I can't believe it's the same on PC.
Gonna see if I can rent this first. Man, I miss Blockbuster so much.
Do you still have to play through multiple times to level up? Need to read up on this.

you choose difficulty off the bat now. and area.
Yeah I don't get it either. They are one of the best in the industry in regards to those cinematics and then don't care about the video quality at all.
I played a lot of Diablo 3 when it first came out. I played again a bit recently and it is like a different game, much much improved.
I am thinking about getting the PS4 version. To the people that played a lot on the console version already: How is the inventory management in comparison to pc (and changing skills)? Is it easy or a pain? Also, has anyone (of those that got it early) tried the remote play with Vita yet?

Need to leave it on standby mode, it should automatically download as long as it is in standby.

They completely overhauled the difficulty system for the game.

You have radial menus for the equipment and skills, and you can change tabs by pressing L1/R1. It's pratical and easy to use.
Here's an example (from the eurogamer review).

So if you finish the game on normal, its up to you to choose hard on the next difficulty playthrough?
Do you get more experience and better loot for playing on Hard/Expert and Master?
Edit: ok saw that table now
So I didn't know what D3 was before a few weeks ago, but my brother did and he pre-ordered the PS4 version. We both have our own PS4's but from the videos I've watched this seems like a game I'd play a lot of.
If we play together cooperatively on his PS4 when together, could I also take my character on my own PS4 when I play alone (using his disk?)

So for someone new to the Diablo scene, although I've enjoyed other similar games like Torchlight and Titan Quest, what would be the best difficulty to start on? I'll be playing it with my brother, and we both enjoy a good challenge in our games. Should we start on Expert, or would Hard be better for our first characters?
If it's anything like vanilla, at least when I've levelled a barb, the first 20 levels on normal are actually pretty challenging. After that point you face roll pretty much to inferno!
If you can choose act and difficulty any time thought, start where you want and adjust on the flu.

So, which one of you level 60s are going to rush me on Tuesday??
Did you play Baldurs Fate Dark Alliance on PS2? Or Champions of Norrath?

I will be. About 1000 hours across 2 characters in PC version, though. Actually looking forward to the new features.
Nope. But I've played X-Men Legends II, the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games. Oh, and Gauntlet Legends. There are probably a few more I am missing.
This was fun to watch for a bit! I was leaning towards the Female Crusader, so it helps that you're playing as that one.
Going in fresh and clean.
Not sure how things pan out with the expansion changes, but on PS3 last year, I mainly played either Expert or Master 1 for a balanced challenge. I think all this is different in the UEE version though, but normal was very boring, unless you can maintain engagement with feeling way overpowered for the 15-20 hours it takes to finish the campaign, you'll want to step it up from the getgo. Master 1 was great for exploration and mobs, but bosses were far too strong(1-2 hit kills with lowbie gear at that point) and I dropped down a difficulty to face them before jacking it back up right after. Just a bit too extreme of a difficulty hike.
I quit the vanilla PC release after Act 2 launch weekend because Normal was way too simple and the idea that the 'real experience' begins after unlocking Nightmare and above difficulty was patronizing and disrespectful of my time. At least this has been fixed in the console ports thankfully which is why I really enjoyed the PS3 version all the way through last year.
UEE seems way too easy even on Hard now though. So you may want to go up another rank higher when starting fresh if you don't want to just annihilate everything and feel some need for survival. This thread will be filled with difficulty talk next week though when the game hits.

Probably me, but I'm very familiar with the game so I'll acclimate to whatever changes rather quickly.

I have a level 60(2) wizard, level 56 demon Hunter and level 10 witch doctor. Not sure which one I will go with on the new version.
all are viable except for monk and witch doctor

Nope.
As for nothing transferring, if you own the previous console versions, you won't lose your save. Hell there is even cross-platform / cross-generational transfers from the 360 to even the PS4
It's not like Reaper of Souls is some unsubstantial update anyways. Also difference between patch revision 1.0.8 PS3 / 360 to 2.0.6 is significant as it is.

Why? I just started with the witch doctor. What's so bad about him?

WD probably the strongest class. My PC Witch Doctor can do T6 rifts no problem. Solo.
