All Baldur’s Gate 3 PC Improvements and Fixes Will Make It Into the PS5 Version

Larian has told PlayStation 5 owners that all the fixes it’s putting out for the PC version of Baldur’s Gate 3 will carry over to the release version on Sony’s console.

I'm still holding out for hope of a physical release

just_looken289d ago

Hopefully there is and its a real disc not some 5mb file that allows you too download it off of a server.

I also hope they fix all pc performance issues along with the laundry list of bugs from minor to softlock first so ps5 gets the best version out of the gate on dic or download.

I know the article says they are but they could fix half be like hey we gave you some fixes and call it done i mean 100% fixed.

" not some 5mb file that allows you too download it off of a server."

Unfortunately, that's everything now. Instant installs at our fingertips and companies are basically printing a Blu ray with a download code on it. 90 gb download later and we can finally play the game.

repsahj289d ago

I hope so. But I cant help it to buy the PS5 DD edition on sept 3.

Jin_Sakai290d ago

Never played a game like this but I might give it a try once it releases on PS5.

Christopher289d ago (Edited 289d ago )

This is very much a PC game in design, so be prepared for multiple action wheels to swap between to perform actions, cast spells, or use items if you go controller only. I think my bard currently has 7 action wheels filled with possible things to do/use and each action wheels has 10 or 12 slots.

I still plan to play it on PS5 with controller as well, but others might find this really needs a k/m for the best experience.

just_looken289d ago

they just added the controller support this year so they may optimize that or go a dragon age one route.

In the end its a wait and see for console players on the quality of the port.

Becuzisaid289d ago

I'm hoping they eventually give an option for controller/ps5 users to use the action bar UI that k/m have. It worked well enough with original sin 2 on ps5.

Shadowsteal288d ago

Divinity 1 and 2 had just as many options and played great with a controller... I expect BG3 to play just as well.

Eonjay288d ago

One imagines that it will also support keyboard and mouse on PS5 for those who want to use it. However, bet on most console players going with the controller.

No physical version no buy for me. The game looks very good though.

Grave288d ago

Awesome, cant wait for PS5 version. Been loving it on Steam, but my wife and I want to play spilt screen on the couch with the big screen TV.

Baldur's Gate 3's Side Quest Design is its Secret Weapon

With a game like Baldur's Gate 3, a number of factors make it successful—but perhaps none are as powerful as its side quest design.

Article makes a great point and I agree with it but is spoiler heavy. It should be marked. If you haven’t played through the game be warned as it even spoils parts of act 3.

Thanks for this dude, I am very interested in playing when I have time and am trying to avoid spoilers.

Baldur's Gate 3 PS5 Physical Deluxe Editions Delayed Due to Production Issues

While we were so hoping to not have to update owners of the console physical Deluxe Edition with any further news of delay, we’ve now run into more production issues which means that players who pre-ordered their PS5 North America copy that was expected to ship later this month, will now have to wait until July before they can get their hands on them.

Popsicle3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Baldur's Gate 3 is so good it might actually be a bad place to start with RPGs.

Baldurs Gate 3 was great, but I dont think it is as crazy as people make it out to be. I actually think Starfield is closer to being a crazy insane once in a lifetime game, but Im ready for the flak Im about to get.

AndrewM2d ago

If you think that then you either A never played Bg3 or B never watched anyone else play it, or C you don't know anything about the game, or D you played it and have no idea of the marvel it is in every single aspect of game design. It doesn't matter what game you compare it to, it doesn't hold a candle. Let alone starfield.

Armaggedon2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

A. Ive played it thrice
B. Played with others, so there are moments of watching
C. Know more than I would care to about the game
D.
Thats quite bold, seeing as there are an inumerable amount of games for it to contend with. I also know plenty of people with their own gripes with the game.

As someone that creates things, and has actively sought to gather intel and understanding, I would say Baldurs Gates very nature makes it so it would have a hard time sitting upon the lofty throne you have given it. Similar to a Bethesda game, it is a game with a very large number of permutations and variables to consider, despite being smaller in scale by direct comparison.

Exemplary mastery of design philosophy is more certain to appear in a game that is for confined. One of the reasons I see Starfield the way I do is simply Bethesedas approach of breaking the rules. Anyone should hopefully know that you just dont try to fit a Bethesda game into a space game, but they found a way to pull it off. Do to the nature of large scale open world games, whether it is efficient or not depends on the angle one is looking at.

Many people would tell me immediately that loading screens and empty planets prove that they failed to pull it off. If you play Starfield like a conventional game yes

Part 2:
Many people would tell me immediately that loading screens and empty planets prove that they failed to pull it off. If you play Starfield like a conventional game yes, it will seem disjointed and lazy; however, to those who realize what Bethesda were going for, you will see that the game is severely underestimated. The idea of God is hated and loved by many, and there is much controversy. Starfield is closer to that idea than people even notice.
