Will Baldur’s Gate 3 be any good on PS5?

With less memory and weaker hardware to work with, squeezing this enormous CRPG onto console will be no easy task.

This is a Preview of the Preview. "I think it’s reasonable to assume "

Eonjay886d ago

Seems awfully clickbaity don't you think?

thorstein885d ago

I call it clickbait so all 4 of their journalists will downvote my comment.

Vengeance1138886d ago

Clickbait much? How will it run? Near perfectly of course.

just_looken885d ago

umm no it will run it but they will half to work around the Igpu sense sony still wont give there playstation a real gpu and the controller will half to be worked in more.

But you might be one to think the ps5 is a 8k60fps gaming beast no doubt.

Vengeance1138885d ago

Ummmmmm no, you come off as some kind of PC elitist clown. A "real" GPU? Like what one of your $2000 PC ones?
Nothing at all wrong with PS5 specs it's beyond capable of running any game put out this gen. If games have performance issues it's on the devs end.
Work in the controller more? Because that's somehow a challenge?? No, it's not. A ton of Strategy, RTS etc titles on console have no problem with controller mapping.

But you might think the PS5 is a Series S no doubt.

Flawlessmic885d ago (Edited 885d ago )

Lol wtf are you even talking about 😂

Are you always so negative about everything lol

I'm playing this on pc about 35 hrs in, ps5 will run it just fine, maybe a few downgrades here and there but it'll be fine.

Eonjay885d ago

*completely ignores that the PS5 GPU is more powerful than recommended specs for this this game*

dumahim885d ago

The recommended GPU on PC for this game is a 1060. That's not minimum. Recommended. PS5 has got it covered just fine.

raWfodog885d ago

I'll trust Larian who have already said that the game was running well on the PS5 and they were just trying to keep the fps steady at 60. Of course it will 'have' different GUI if you are using a controller but they've already confirmed that consoles will be able to use keyboard/mouse and play it like the PC version. Larian has proven that they have no problem developing their RPGs to run on consoles. No worries at all from me.

shammgod885d ago

That was a dumb response

just_looken885d ago

of course mass downvote

a real gpu has ram and vram to work with your ps5 does not.

i said it will run

you can get a gpu like ps5 has for $300usd max

but this site is full of sony blind boys

Chevalier885d ago

"of course mass downvote"

Because your comment is idiotic?! Game runs well on low spec Steamdeck even.

raWfodog885d ago (Edited 885d ago )

Your 'downvotes' are likely related to you insinuating that Larian's development issues are with the PS5 when it has already been clearly stated by Larian themselves that the current console issues lie squarely with the Series S platform. The PS5 and Series X have no GPU issues that have been reported by Larian. If you are worried about mass downvotes so much, then you wouldn't blatantly write misinformed comments.

GamingManiac884d ago

LOL learn English before trolling.

myfathersbastard884d ago

Yyyeeeeaaahh because people HAVEN’T been saying how well it actually plays with controller already on PC…..

derek884d ago

@just, a real gpu? I suppose all those great games are running on the "fake" gpu. Lol

@ dumahim

What are you talking about? The recommended GPU is a 2060 super. I still think PS5 will run it, but this game is much more demanding then an aging 1060

darthv72885d ago (Edited 885d ago )

i imagine it will run it just fine. Heck... Steam Deck runs it (w/o split screen) and PS5 (and Series X|S) is more powerful than that.

anast885d ago (Edited 885d ago )

It will run great. It's the low to mid-tier PCs and the S, I would be most concerned about.

repsahj885d ago

You will be surprised that it will run great on PS5.

Larian Is Unable To Bring Baldur's Gate 3 To Switch 2 Amid Shaky Relationship With 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.

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)?

repsahj5d ago (Edited 5d 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.
