I only can say one word: IMPRESSIVE
guys you have to download this mpeg!!!!!!!
-
This is a game I\'m looking very much forward to! It sounds really awesome - and according to IGN the graphics are stunning, even though the game isn\'t even finished yet. Cool! :)
-
WOW!!! THIS is the type of game I live for!!! I might just have to get a PS2!!!
-
wow, this is some really really big news!
-
awwwww hell yea, looks like someone finally mastered the ps2 capabilitys, hopefully everyone will follow, i read the article in ign, and omg he says that there is 0 problems, and the anti aliancing is off the hook, i am going to get this game if its like diablo2... yes!!!
-
its sorta like diablo
but has a ton more RPG elements!
What I find interesting, is they say
"Whatever you think about baldurs gate... FORGET!"
Are they mocking the PC?
lol
Plus, they have NO mention of a PC version.. the PC must be too weak for the game... Wow, when was the last time that happened?
-
Wow, the ps2 is a caculation machine!
"Depending of physics, and where you strike the animated pile of bones, they’ll shatter differently, and they bounce and cascade to the ground completely dependent of environmental physics. "
And does everything else damn near perfect
"Once I was able to pull my eyes off of the TV for a second or two, I really took the time to scrutinize the graphics, and to my delight, I could find nothing wrong with them. Let me repeat that again: I could find NOTHING wrong with the graphics. None of the problems that are commonly associated with PlayStation 2 games, such as low-res textures, flickering, or aliasing problems, are to be found here. It’s hard to think of a game that pulls off the much-fabled anti-aliasing as well as this game does. "
People have been underestimating the power of the ps2, which is great, cause people will be shocked to see what comes up in the upcomming years.. stuff you never thought possible

you said it home slice, its on and ps2 aint takling no more crap, that was from the article at ign, and that is exactly what it says.

You can read an early review of the game here (http://firingsquad.gamers.com/games/bgdafirstlook/) on firingsquad. a great gaming site I might add :)
-
I\'m downloading it now, extremly slow on a T1 though
This is definetly my type of game. I love the Dungeons and Dragons worlds, I have since I was a 11 rolling the odd shaped dice and making my own Dungeon Maps.
It will be great when there is a larger library of these types of games
-
I can`t wait for this though I havn`t seen the video.
So people tell me: Is it a 3D game ? They could use the Aurora engine (Neverwinter Nights).That would be awesome!
-
OK,I just looked at the pics at ign and yes, it`s 3D.And yes,I`m blown away.
I´m in the middle of Baldurs Gate 2 right now and it`s a awesome game.And now this one for my PS2 !!!
They should release a PS2 version of Neverwinter Nights too.
-
Guys... just look at the water !!! :D
Yes, Chrono... BIG NEWS !!! ;)
THE all seeing EYE... :D
-
I made this shorter movie,
with gameplay only thats 14mb for 56k people!

Holy #%@! this game just jumped out in front of me like a pack of raptors that hasn\'t eaten in a day during midnight! It\'s nice to have another AAA title just pop up like that :)

Yeah the entire world is just a better place when a new game gets announced for the PS2 that has video footage of gameplay attached, and it looks this good
anyone know of a release date
-
THIS fall...
amazing huh?
-
I do love Action RPG\'s. Dark Allience is beautiful beyond words.
-
Are you serious??? I love Baulder\'s Gate, it was one of the best PC games I ever played and now it\'s headed to the PS2, this is wonderful. Sony has everything going for them and no one can stop them... not even Bill Gates... dun dun dun!
-
Ya know whats funny
I blew off the news on this game cause to me it was just another PC port.... whip de ****in dooThen I\'m on IGN boards and then over here and I start to read the threads so I do and look at the movies and read the article and now its like in my top 3 must have games.
Mainly because I love D+D kinda stuff, which is why I was attracted to the Summoner so much.
I also love the 2 player same screen co-op mode for this game, I just hope my wife might wanna try (probably not) its a real shame cause this would be a great 2p co-op experience
I wish some of my buds lived out here cause we\'d twist a couple up and get lost in the world of D+D which would be just peachy
-
looks great. like D2 almost.

if they can make the dragon look this good in game I will bust a nut....
-
As they say, "Never Underestimate the Power of PlayStation".
-
Please, please Lord let it be so... !!!
I´ve seen those pics also, and I just can´t wait, but I realy hope it will be with AA and without "flickering" !!!
-
Eeeehhhheeeehhheeee!!!! :D I feel like a little school girl again...:D...:(...er...boy...that is...:)
If you have the time guys (the ones with regular phone line connections), you\'ve absolutely got to download this mpeg!!! :D It\'s so sweet. I\'ve got to get this game!!! I don\'t mind waiting on downloads...especially with a T1...:) Took me 4 minutes to download the video...

ddaryl,if they make the game look as good as that pic,i think the claim of "toy story graphics" is pretty much true (even though i never read that Sony said that actually)
-
WOW!!!!
i am no baldurs gate fan but that looks really really good - i am in the process of downloading that crazy large mpeg
only 2 hours to go - whooo hooo - go 56k go
anyway that game looks top notch and i am sure this will hush some trolls up
-
I downloaded yerterday and the video is impressive, the movement is cool, like monsters and scenaries!!!
-
The mpeg blew me away!!! One thing I learned from this is:
PS2 IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO PROGRAM FOR AS I HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED TO BELIEVE. I NOW TRULY UNDERSTAND THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GIVE DEVELOPERS TIME TO LEARN THE IN\'S AND OUT\'S OF THE MACHINE!!!
As far as I\'m concerned, I\'ll get a PS2 just for this game!!! Beautful. In short, MY DREAM GAME!!!
-
I\'m downloading the movie now and I can\'t wait to see it. But based on what I\'ve read so far it seems as if this game along with other soon to be released AAA titles is trying to send a message to PS2 developers around the world and that is: "Think big and you get big" or "Dream your biggest dream and let the black box make it come true".
This is what developers have to do. They have to throw out everything they knew to be conventional(of course not everything, but at least to put their thinking into this frame of mind) because if they don\'t they\'re going to remain stagnant into a regressive mind state which has its origins in SNES, N64, Playstation one, etc.. type programming. Developers need to take risks and to continue to raise the bar. The sky is the limit with the PS2(at least so far). I like this statement made by one of the Baluder\'s Gate: Dark Alliance reps:
"We are developing the game from the ground up to take full advantage of the sophisticated PlayStation 2 technology," said Ryan Geithman, director of Snowblind Studios. "Our goal is to push the hardware to its limits, thus creating stunning environmental effects and highly detailed characters never before seen on the console."
Now that\'s the kind of attitude a person has got to have even before he or she envisions the next PS2 project. The developers have to take the PS2 hardware and tear it a new a**hole.
-
ye ai downloaded the movie while i went to bed and wheni woke up was that a surprise or what
that is awesome - the water effects and the way the fire changes the shadows
even my dad is siked about this game
-
Nice mpg :)
I love the way each stone on the wall is actualy modelled with polygons...
-
Anyone wanna bet that this one is going to captivate audiences at E3 in the same way MGS2 did last year? I can see this game being the next big buzz... and it\'s going to change a lot of pissy attitudes about the little black wonder.
Just imagine what Sega will be able to do with it... just imagine what the PS3 will be capable of. No wait.. don\'t. You\'ve probably gone though enough underwear already. :D
-
yes yes yes.
i loved playing this game on the PC and now it is coming to the ps2. The game looks excellent hardly any slow down.
i can\'t wait.
-
Guys, look at the new screens...

Impressive....
But it\'s funny to see how all you ppl go
wild and even corny/mushy about such a game.
How a videogame can get this almost emotional
vibe out of ppl.

We\'re fans.
Most of us Love RPG\'s and D+D, throw all that together with a great looking game from a credited franchise developed from the ground up to run on the PS2\'s hardware (not a port) and of course we are excited
-
I thought the Xbox was supposed to get all the PC ports.
Any fan that loves this and says xbox is getting nothing put PC ports and is a portbox should be slapped. Thats what the PS2 is for.
It does look good, but remember, its only a PC game. :) Gotta love putting that in some of your faces. :)
-
Ddaryl: if your wife don\'t wanna try with you....get another wife!!!! :D J/K
-
No Dwarrior, it\'s not a PC game. It\'s a PC franchise yes, but the game is being built solely for the PS2 to take advantage of the PS2\'s hardware. There may be a port TO the PC sometime in the future.. but it\'s going to be quite a while since the entire game is going to have to be recoded to work with PC\'s.

I never thought I would see the day when the PS2 gets more PC ports than anything else and all of a sudden a PC games company doesn\'t suck...
If this game was for xbox, everyone would be screaming PORT PORT! Even if it was made from scratch. Boy how quickly things have changed. :) Its a PC company making a PC game with a PC GENRE using a PC point of view that was created from scratch for a CONSOLE. So basically its a PC game for a console, thus its a PC port. :)
The code might have not been ported, but everything else was. It will be available for other platforms of course....
PC games on Xbox = crappy ports
PC games on PS2 = awesome innovative games... gotta love the translation on this one... :)

Every time I hear the phrase D+D, I can\'t help but think of that Summoner movie. :D Like ddaryl said, we love D+D/RPG games. I am really excited about this games graphics. The water affects are amazing. The spells are extremely cool (Lots and LOTS of particle affects :)). I have always been a huge fan of Baldur\'s Gate, and I can\'t wait for this game to come out.
