I have been waiting so long for another one.

CptEccentric4153d ago

Me too man, me too! Cant believe its finally happening. Sooooo happy right now :)

Rimeskeem4153d ago (Edited 4153d ago )

I literally screamed "FINALLY!" after i saw this

thekhurg4153d ago

I'd be happier if they licensed the Divinity Original Sin engine or something. Visually improve the animations and game world please.

CorndogBurglar4153d ago

METHINKS I JUST CREAMED ME KNICKERS!!!

CptEccentric4153d ago

Could not have said it better! One day we shall bask in the glory of a truly great RPG again

CptEccentric4153d ago

@sckipt, Im glad I could bring you the good news :) I hope everyone gets to see this that love the franchise as much as i do :)

CptEccentric4153d ago

Indeed it has, such a long time. I actually replayed BG2 + Throne of Baal during the past holidays.

Has anyone played on android? How good is it? I am playing kotor on my S5 and it's amaazing. I've literally never played a game on my phone and never thought I would but I'm hooked.

I loved the first and the expansion game. The voice acting was superb and everything about this game was top notch.

I always wanted this game to come to consoles but sadly all we got where Gauntlet clones with this name slapped on.

I did as well, but I have to say I enjoyed the two Baldur's Gate console games. The Champions of Norrath games were better, but for a straight forward, co-op dungeon crawl I rather enjoyed the Baldur's Gate games. There really wasn't that much out there for co-op dungeon crawlers this past gen which I found disappointing. I didn't realize that Diablo 3 had couch co-op until recently so I picked it up on one of the PS4 flash sales, but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

I'm excited about a new Baldur's Gate game though in the old style. Just playing through Legend of Grimrock 2 which is a throwback to the old Eye of the Beholder type games. I remember getting Baldur's Gate at a launch party early here in Edmonton where the game was made. Looking forward to diving in again. Just brings back all the old feels. :)

gangsta_red4152d ago

The console Baldur's Gate were good games, and by no means am I knocking them. It's just that I was looking forward and expecting to play the same type of game style I played on the PC.

I remember even telling some friends on what to expect when the game comes to consoles. Yea, I could have used the internet more back then...

Devs stopped making games like Baldur's Gate 'because retailers told us no one wanted to buy them'

Hope writes: "Classic RPGs make up some of the most formative examples of late '90s to early 2000s PC gaming in my memory, but I also remember when they weirdly disappeared. If you loved games like the original Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, or Planescape, and also wondered why we stopped seeing these kinds of titles for a bit there, well it turns out you can blame physical retailers for the decline in Dungeons-and-Dragons-style PC RPGs."

I would have loved to have bought Baldur's Gate 3 if it would have had a physical release (not the censored Japanese release).

Notellin224d ago

Why can't you just buy the physical release? I have an opened one on Xbox and a sealed collector's edition for PS5.

Are you just not capable of searching online?

jznrpg224d ago (Edited 224d ago )

Buy the euro version? That is available to purchase. The North American version was limited and sells for a good amount on eBay.

fsfsxii224d ago

This shtick is getting old.

anast224d ago

People want to play them. Retailers will sell them. But most dev teams can't make them.

MoneyMadness224d ago

Bear Gate 3 has a lot of nice content, but the game isn't for me.

The getaway
Smugglers run
Dead to rights
Worlds scariest police chases
Sure I’m missing a few.

FPS_D3TH466d ago

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Knushwood Butt467d ago

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Abear21467d ago

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

M_Prime466d ago

i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately

YourMommySpoils466d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg467d ago (Edited 467d ago )

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg467d ago (Edited 467d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those
