Baldur’s Gate 3 is Causing Some Developers to Panic

IGN : While Baldur's Gate 3 is being widely celebrated by fans and developers alike, some are panicking that this could set new expectations from fans. Good. In this opinion from Destin Legarie we explore why fans feel this way and why they're celebrating games like Baldur's Gate 3, and Elden Ring.

That's good we need devs to feel pressure

Vx_934d ago

Doesn’t matter if gamers continue supporting and buying these incomplete broking games all the time.

XiNatsuDragnel934d ago

True but this will send a very strong message that we mostly support a complete game than broken ones.

Profchaos934d ago

True but gen on gen it feels like we're getting far less high quality games in general. At this point last gen my library was filling up nicely but this go round I'm still mostly in port and remaster territory (I consider remakes new given the effort required).

So the games we do get are often broken but it's been so long between high quality games can't blame people for picking them up

Pyrofire95934d ago

MTX stuff always says to me that it's a publisher decision and not the devs, or more accurately the people who hold the money. Devs aren't getting that revenue, it's the people in charge. So it's usually the publisher getting final say in that kind of stuff.
Destiny/Bungie is in a stange spot and I'm not familar enough to know what's going on their cause they were Activision then indipendant then obtained by SONY but allowed to mostly act indipendant.

BG3 Sets the bar high, some devs that attend/speak at gdc don't want high quality, they want to push push push (regardless of quality) shit.

VersusDMC934d ago

What is the high bar being set? Amount of content? It's a bad thing when it comes to AC Valhalla where everyone says the game is bloated.

I google bg3 performance and there are a ton of people complaining about performance. And there are still bugs including a save bug that would have you lose all your progress that could be fixed now but launched with it.

I'm not shitting on the game but I'm seeing way too many articles about this game being the second coming of christ that i need clarification because i can't see it.

-Foxtrot936d ago

You mean like how a team of 400 people managed to make such a high quality single player game without any scummy anti-gamer business practices.

Ubisoft sweating in the corner…

just_looken934d ago

ubisoft sure but do not forget diablo 4 had a massive team that lost to path of exile that had a team of 8 LOL

That's pretty rad. They know what's up and how to please their fans.

ZycoFox936d ago

When I used to play Worms 2 online with one of my buddies in 99 at least one of them would rave about the original game, Command & Conquer and also Age of Empires. Really popular games back in the day.

porkChop936d ago

Good. They should panic. I'm tired of paying $101 CAD for unfinished trash.

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.

-Foxtrot25d ago

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”

Daeloki24d ago

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.

dmonee24d ago

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.

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.

Michiel198951d 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

Christopher50d 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)?

repsahj52d ago (Edited 52d 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

gigoran851d 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

Neonridr50d ago (Edited 50d 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_B50d ago

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