Sony Wanted To Bring Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition To PS3
Don't get your hopes up. It's not happening. Despite Trent Oster revealing that he and Sony were in talks to bring Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition to PS3, we should probably tell you now - it won't happen.

The original Baldur's Gate games played nothing like the Dark Alliance games though. Dark Alliance games represent watered down versions of BG (imo) and were all about loot and co-op, whereas the originals were heavily mouse driven and focused on single player story, characters and actual RPG elements.
Balder's Gate would look so great with an HD facelift. All it needs is online multiplayer (maybe drop in & out, like Resident Evil 6). MAYBE some added material, just to make it fresh, but it honestly doesn't need it.
On the one hand, you have to applaud the devs for wanting the game to be a great experience on consoles if it were to come there. On the other, you gotta appreciate Sony not wanting consumers to have to pay a lot of money for it either. Looks like both sides just had high standards that didn't mesh together. A shame.
It's interesting Sony would ask them to bring this to the PS3, when it would work / play fine on the Vita, and the Vita is Sony's system that's really in need of games right now.
Do it!
