Seriously...Baldur's Gate...Larian Sudios....this is like fan fiction come to life.

Abriael2416d ago

It really is. But that's what Sven said himself, after all.
Now, let's hope we get a PC/console announcement soon, because I ain't playing this on streaming.

gangsta_red2416d ago

I'm confident that this is coming to consoles/PC. I mean, it just has to!

Abriael2416d ago

Yep. It's coming to PC. Thank god.

Christopher2416d ago (Edited 2416d ago )

So excited. Obsidian bought and continuing with MS with full releases on PC, Chris Avellone working with Dying Light 2 and anyone else who can be lucky to get his time, and BG3 by Divinity developers. My nostalgic love of 90s RPGs is going strong!

gangsta_red2416d ago

It really is! All we need is the return of the 56k modem and pagers to complete this rain of nostalgia.

I can't even think of anything that could go wrong with Larian at the helm for Baldur's Gate. Only the wrath of God could make BG3 something terrible at this point.

Imalwaysright2416d ago

Chris Avellone was the narrative designer of Pathfinder Kingmaker and while mechanically isn't the best cRPG availabe if you are a fan of old school D&D PC rpgs then you should check it out if you haven't already.

@Imalwaysright:

Uh... Yeah, I don't know if you know this, but I'm huge on Avellone. Huuuge. https://i.imgur.com/h3Umer9...

Relientk772416d ago

Yes! I feel like I've been waiting forever for a new Baldur's Gate game. Awesome news that Larian Studios is making it too.

bluefox7552416d ago

This has me excited, but only if it comes to othe platforms.

--bienio--2416d ago

Cry for console version typical. Where where you when pc players saying the same???

CorndogBurglar2416d ago

When were PC players crying for console versions?

theshredded2416d ago

Cthulhu? I always heard of Baldur's Gate but never played any.

Christopher2416d ago

Not Cthulhu, but close. It's a mind flayer (aka Illithid). Somewhat Cthulhu inspired creature of great power in D&D.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

In general, aberrations in D&D tend to pull heavily from Cthulhu-esque mythos.

I'm a bit confused by the transformation shown as it looked more like a werewolf transformation than the usual polymorph spell. But, I'm definitely intrigued and love the team behind the game.

Imalwaysright2416d ago

Couldn't think of a better studio to handle Baldur's Gate.

Shaky Relationship meaning Hasbro wanted an even larger cut of the pie moving forward. Also why we're not getting BG4 w/Larian. Hasbro just wanted to bleed them dry.

Michiel19895d ago

no im pretty sure it was related to the people from hasbro that helped with the game getting fired or that only the people from Larian were eligible for bonusses and Larian didn't fuck with that

Christopher4d ago

The people from Hasbro were fired by Hasbro. Why would non-workers on a game get bonuses for not having worked on the game (meaning anyone at Hasbro)?

repsahj6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Because they are busy for the next Divinity game on Switch 2. Fine by me because I already have BG3 on my PS5, and believe me or not, I didn't finish it. Considering I bought the Deluxe edition to play it ahead of everyone. XD

gigoran85d ago

if this were able to run on the switch 2, then theoretically the PS4 pro should be able to as well. can't wait for that port

Neonridr4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

you do realize that in terms of numbers it might be on par with a PS4 Pro. However, GPU wise, it has a much larger feature set available to it. The PS4 Pro couldn't even run FSR natively.

Terry_B4d ago

Yeah..I doubt BG3 would run well on the Switch 2.
