Diablo 3 For PS4 Will Make Use Of The Controller’s Touchpads

Diablo 3 and PS4 gamers are probably well aware that the game will be launched on the console and we’re sure that many are wondering how the game will play. Considering that the previous two iterations of Diablo were pretty much a point and click hackfest, how will this translate into a console controller? While we have yet to get our hands on the game and take it for a spin ourselves, Blizzard has revealed during their Conversations with Creators video with Sony that Diablo 3 for the PS4 will be taking advantage of the console’s new controller, particularly the trackpad.

Blizzard wasn’t clear how exactly will the trackpad be used, but according to Blizzard Entertainment’s production director, John Hight, “Diablo is a pretty deep game and we don’t like a lot of overload on the buttons […] We want to keep it really simple so you can get to the things you need to get to fast as you need to do it because the monsters are pouring at you no matter what. We think the touch pad’s going to give us a lot more opportunity to make that interface a lot easier.” What do you guys think? Any of you looking forward to playing the PS4 version of the game?
