Awesome new Baldur\'s Gate pics from C&VG!

The game looks great.  It will probably end up being a sleeper hit like Ring of red and shadow of destiny.

This is the game that will place a PS2 in my house.

This game ain\'t no sleeper. the Baldurs Gate name goes a long way for PC RPG\'s. Its incarnation on the PS2 will get lots of attention especially at E3.

The fact that this is an AMerican RPG makes me even happier, its so refreshing playing a non Japanese RPG

They made some changes for the ps2 version gameplay..in addition ..you can now control the shield instead of all the way hacking.

That\'s just what i want in Diablo games.

Waspman, where did you hear this?  I want to know what kinds of changes they are making so it would work with console controls.  Any link?

I just hope they dont assign you characters.
Ive been waitin for a console game to have a completely unique character generation system.
I hpoe they keep that part as well.
But, so far all the characters theyve showed are the same characteres, either male or female.

Looks pretty good for a PC RPG...

Yes, I know its on the PS2, but hey, the PS2 is getting more share of PC ports than any platform, but of course if its on the PS2 and not on the so called PC, xbox, thats a good thing, right???

its not just a simple port, its a new game for ps2, built from ground up. The current generation of pc\'s (with no gf3) can never handle those kind of poly counts, lighting and textures. Just look at it, every stone, barrel and object is made up of polygons. And this is from a very small and unkown developer (black isle and snowblind). imagine what big developers such as ea or konami can do with ps2. It just takes some effort, understanding and learning

You Sad Brainless Troll !

they must be Twin Sisters then........... :rpissed:.

anyway i think this game looks great .

Never played the PC version did\'t appeal to me, but on the PS2 yeah ill give it a go.

I don\'t think this game matters if it has a HD backing it or not.

Sorry for not replying earlier..been busy lately.Here\'s the statement made by Ezra Dreisbach:

BG for the PC was cool, though it\'s battle system needed some tweaking.  This one looks amazing, and as long as they\'ve improved the battle a bit, you can bet I\'ll be on board!

Hey!! You guys left out the best pic...

Yes I saw that clip in the video! (the woman)

Everything was moving very nice and correctly physic wise! If you know what I mean

This game looks great.  I\'ve heard of Baldur\'s Gate, but never played it or seen it played.  Is this an action-RPG game, like Zelda or something?  Pretty cool if so.  Very nice graphics.

Hey everyone! Go to the Official Baulders Gate: Dark Alliance Web-Site. Here--> BG:DA

There they explain alot. Check out the FAQ section. My favorite part is where they say that, with all the effects going on in the game your freinds super fast PC would slow to a crawl. Cool.


Edit: Hahahahahaha.... My link has a in it
