I was just browsing through some of the games on the ign site release calender and saw baulders gate. I watched the trailer video and found out you can go thorough it with two players
This game looks like it can be promising :)
What are your guys thoughts? anyone else thinking of getting it?
-
Personally, I\'ll get it, but on PC. I prefer my mouse over the stick for things like the battle control system. It\'s a lot of micromanagement if you have to do it with the controller.
-
Well it looks definatly pretty good, i like the idea of a two person mode going through it
The analog might take sometime to get use to but im sure i could get the hang of it pretty fast
-
oh btw i just noticed you were from Ontario Canada and im from there too
What city do you live in?
-
Are you sure that it wont support mouse and keyboard?
-
I prefer the DS2. I sit on my couch, and usually the dogs are hopping all over to boot. A key and mouse would be very impractical.
..And yes. This game looks fine:)
-
yea i like the game - it looks great and i don\'t think it will be hard to play with a controller - although i prefer controllers over mouses and keyboards anyday
-
Can you play it online?
I think no but it would be cool
-
I am looking forward to it. The big aspect that I like about the two player feature is when your players walk away from each other the screen zooms out. It does not stop you when you hit the side of the screen. It is siad to zoom to a degree that you wouldn\'t want to be away from you partner. Thats some distance.
And I do believe this is a PS2 Only title.
-
Well my only concern would be not understanding the story as well. I havent played both pc versions of the game and i think this one is suppose to be the third chapter

No you won\'t !!!!!!!!!
Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance is a PS2 only game. The engine is built from the ground up to play on the PS2 and will be tuned for console gaming. The interfaces and the gameplay will be enhanced for the PS2 and the DS
the game is my most anticiapted RPG for the PS2 just ahead of FFX.
It looks fantastic and its a non Japanese RPG based on D&D
these are my favorite things
-
Yeah, I\'m looking forward to this game more than FFX too. (But I still really want FFX :D)
-
I\'ll be buying a PS2 because of it.
-
Ahead of FFX? Yes but only because it will release about 2 mounths earlier.
-
This game is on my purchase list.
I was always meaning to play BG on the PC but never got round to it, but now I can enjoy it on my telly instead. :)
-
It looks fantastic!

Yep, dd is right. If you go to the BG:dA website, it says that the game would bring a brand new pc to a CRAWL:) in the FAQ area. This from the programmers, not fanboys.

Link us!!!!!!

Here is the link to the site. The quote is in the FAQ section.

Q: What are you doing with the Playstation 2 hardware? Are you doing things that can’t be done on other consoles or on the PC?
A: The envioronmental effects working in BG: Dark Alliance would bring your friend\'s fastest PC to a crawl. It could be years until the PC can do all of the things that you\'ll see in BG: Dark Alliance.

after seeing all this info on the game, I cannont wait till the end of 2001 for this game
-
this game was a HUGE surprise to everyone when it was recealed. Nobody expected it to look 1/2 as good as it did.
I cannot wait myself
-
well the link iron fist provided
I checked out there forums, and apparently people are hating ps2 and the makers of BG for making this version as they reffer to it as a " Diablo Clone "
I honestly dont see the big deal, It doesnt sequal from the pc and besides it gets me thinking and wanting to see how the pc games are
-
That is only because it differs in how it plays from any other Balders Gate. And if Diablo 1 or 2 could do half of the things of this I would be surprised.
-
i have been awaiting this game for ages, i am dieing to play it, i hope its better then Diablo 2, cause i have been playing htis game for the past couple of days,a nd im hooked on it :p and cygnus... hurry up and link usz! i wana see where it says that.
-
Ironfist was generous to take care of the link. Look at his post.
-
The BG diehard PC fans are pretty mad about that game.
Check out the blackisle forums to see how they are flaming it...

Hey, just saw that ddaryl is at that forum too,giving the game some more support.
-
Yep. Those PC fanboys really are pathetic!
I read the posts yesterday and I couldnt stop laughing!
They think PS2 is some kind of a kiddie Toy that only can make SNES graphics!
Boy, oh boy they are wrong! ;)

It was so deep in idiocy I just had to post a LMAO at you message there
everyone should sign up and chase those meatheads out the door
-
I just signed up. :D Now the developers will get the respect and the praise they deserve.
-
I\'m about halfway through BG1 on my PC right now and I absolutely love it. Can\'t wait to see how this incantation will turn out.
