ramza Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 I had heard that BG was being made for the first playstation console but it got cancelled at some point... There were almost no references to this project on the web until someone posted some videos on youtube. Take a look at them! http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/ultimatebb.ph...847.html#000000 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk31Z3jyuHI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3DfFCCr-vo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDEo2thQT_E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9TOr4gW3Yk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K-PtCirlMQ I thought that it was a completely different game from the first BG, but looks like it was just a port (and a poor quality one). Maybe it was a good choice to shelve it... What do you think? "Ooo, squirrels, Boo! I know I saw them! Quick, throw nuts!" -Minsc "I am a well-known racist in the Realms! Elves? Dwarves? Ha!

Volourn Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 It would have been neato to se eit release just to see how it turned out plus to read all the whining how BG was 'consolized'. R00fles! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
@\NightandtheShape/@ Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Some of the guys I worked with now worked at runecraft, who were making the fabled BG for PSone, tho' I don't think either of them worked on it directed, but from what I recall from conversations, it was pretty much complete, but nobody thought anyone would be interested in buying a 6 disk game for PSone, and thus it was canned.

Volourn Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 That's luidcrous. if it was canned for that reason; that's just dumb. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Diogo Ribeiro Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 I think a Dreamcast version was also being made but got canned.

While I am not a huge fan of consoles, I am becoming incredibley iritated by the fact anything console is bad in your eyes, without any sort of logic or reasoning behind it that really merits any attention.

Dark_Raven Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 (edited) Leave the PC classics alone, leave them as PC only. Not ported into lame consoles. Thanks. Edited March 27, 2007 by Dark_Raven Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
karka Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 If you don't want just don't play them. It's that simple you know.
Sand Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 (edited) At the time it was to be ported it wasn't a PC classic yet. The way I see it if a game can be ported to many platforms without being dumbed down I say port away!

Dark_Raven Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 RPG Codex is definetly worst. I like that. I think I will put it in my signature. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Diamond Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 RPG Codex is definetly worst. Looks like Avellone's doodles. Coincidence?
Xard Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Yeah, it's made by Avellone. However, I can't remember where I found that pic. It was just so awesome that I had to save it How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective.

kirottu Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Yeah, it's made by Avellone. However, I can't remember where I found that pic.

Diogo Ribeiro Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 RPG Codex is definetly worst. Cute but far from the truth. Then again, people tend to laugh more at generalizations than reality. And everyone loves to see what they don't like ridiculed.
