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.
Let's take a step back into the good old days when Wi-Fi and data were nothing to worry about and look at the very Best Offline iPhone Games.
The Humble RPG Legends Bundle just launched today. It includes nine items including Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, Neverwinter Nights: Complete Adventures, and more.
Beamdog CEO Trent Oster revealed that he had pitched a KOTOR remake of its own, aiming to match many of Aspyr's goals with its take on the franchise.
I didn't like their refurbish job on BGate. They didn't fix a whole lot for that game, such as Brage's body doesn't drop unless you do things in a specific manner. I mean with the tech now and they couldn't fix that.... imagine what they would have done to KOTOR.
That would of been great, loved the Baldur's Gate games on PS2 was a really good game to play with a friend.
Yes, Sony!
Do it!
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.
Baldurs gate enhanced edition on the ps3 would be one heck of a console exclusive for Sony to have.
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.
