After some RPG fans started considering Baldur’s Gate 3 as the new baseline for the genre, the head of the Strange Scaffold Studios presented some points to prove otherwise.
Hasbro and The Last of Us show's co-creator are developing a Baldur’s Gate TV series that'll follow on from the events of Baldur's Gate 3.
Oooof. I have very little hope for this with how badly they screwed up Season 2. I loved and re-watched the first season of The Las of Us 4-5 times now. Only watched season 2 once and will not be watching Season 3 unless I'm very bored. The fact that Larian isn't involved is also another red flag.
TLOU show creator…oh God
There’s a reason why the show went from “Season 4 and possibly beyond” to “it might end at Season 3”
I mean regardless of who's making it, there's simply no hope for it.
A) Larian is not involved. This is gonna be pure Hasbro greed.
B) It's a game that largely revolves around player choice, with tons of outcomes and replayability. There is no single canon to translate into a show.
C) It's a high fantasy setting, with spectacular visuals that are going to be very expensive, and also very difficult to get to look actually good in live action.
Only potential they have is if they lean into campiness, make it vibe like old 90's, early 2000's fantasy shows like Xena, Mystic Knights etc. Less epic and more failed skill checks, "wrong" choices.
From what I have read, The Last of Us season 2 woes, was because of Neil Druckman. I have hope for season 3 now that he is out if the equation. I have hope for BG live action show. Its also being worked in by the team that did Chernobyl.
A new Baldur’s Gate 3 mod lets you play the Early Access version again, restoring deleted scenes, NPCs, and more.
Larian Studios is unable to work on a Nintendo Switch 2 port of Baldur's Gate 3 amid a shaky relationship with the IP owner, Hasbro.
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.
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
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)?
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
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
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.

This anomaly had my money
Just keep in or increase teh amount beastilaity in the game and we are good
Honestly I hope they can deliver because there is a lot of talking and hype behind this game. I for one am very excited because now a days every game has ROG elements very very few are role playing games
Sony should consider acquiring them if they’re mutually interested.
Xbox bought up most other Western rpg studios with Zenimax…. And this outlier studio sounds like they deserve 1st party backing for their next ambitious project.
All studios that push the boundaries for gaming, which gets harder and harder each gen, they deserve to be backed as a 1st party studio, one way or another.
CRPGs are the last RPGs left in gaming. I am hyped!
