Diablo III: No Cross-Play Between PlayStation and PC
Community manager Vaeflare shared the news on the Blizzard forums, before adding that the PlayStation versions of the game would not support a USB mouse and keyboard while the PC version won't be usable with an analog controller.
"While we think cross-platform play would be awesome, there are currently no plans to allow connectivity between PlayStation Network and Battle.net (this is pretty standard for most games that have PC and console support)."
"As a result, the characters on your Battle.net account and PlayStation account will also remain separate."
"In terms of allowing an analog controller hookup for the PC, we don’t have any plans for that kind of support right now. Similarly, since Diablo III for console was designed with a controller in mind, the PlayStation version of Diablo III will not support USB mice or keyboards."

Thats obvious because they will have difficulties connecting with each other and PC's play in higher graphics so it would be very hard to make compatible

Centurialphatmatt45EvenZwrq I don't get why people act like this is a surprise.
Yeah I know, no games ever have cross platform connection.
Shadowrun was cross platform
Never heard of that.
It's a very old game, the sort that you would expect to see on PS2 or PS1.

And the PC Players on Shadowrun got nerfed so hard into the ground due to the massive skill gap. Not just playerskill alone either. A MOUSE AND KEYBOARD HAS A huge Advantage over joysticks in terms of degree of movement, accuracy/precision and free movement of the imput device. A controller can only move your aim in a limited number of ways or directions. The mouses movement range is hugely superior to a joystick. The PC players received damage nerfs, movement nerfs among others. Not only that but a high end PC CAN and WILL run games smoother than the current gen console which are years behind in terms of hardware and power. Hell, even the PS4 is weaker than my current system. PC and Console will probably never have cross platform compatibility outside of indie titles and non competitive/skill based applications. I'm not flaming the Console crowd I am just stating facts. They pitted a Pro Console team up against a randomly thrown together PC team on a AAA FPS and the PC team stomped them into dust with no competition what so ever from the console players. Not because they were better as players but because the equipment they use and the input devices they play with are far superior for high level gaming than that of a console. Flame me all you want I never use this site anyway
That may have been the longest news comment I've ever seen. Pretty well sums it up though, now that I think about it, mouse and keyboard players can have much more free movement.

EvenRollinRhino do remember reading a report on why cross platfrom PC - Console hasn't been introduced, something about skill level of each type of player, but i find that a load of crap to belive, i will fall in love the day i can play something like battlefield or minecraft on my computer with my friends on the xbox. Hell it should already be happening!
It won't ever happen because of the networking technology in each system. They don't easily connect with each other?
Why would it be because of 'skill' level? As Even said, it's due to connections, systems and everything inbetween, it's not easy. They are two DIFFERENT consoles/systems.
