Baldur's Gate 3 Devs on Stadia-Exclusive Features and Early Access Plans

The Baldur's Gate 3 team explains their plans for early access, as well as some of the cool Stadia-exclusive features of the new RPG from Larian Studios.

stadia exclusive features =/= awesome

Muzikguy1553d ago

I don't believe that current consoles couldn't handle this. Especially if going on Stadia.

RazzerRedux1553d ago

A game session on Stadia is running on a Vega 56 GPU PC. That is a lot more powerful than any current gen console.

Muzikguy1553d ago

Chromecast Ultra is better than current gen? Sure it can be played on a Vega 56 GPU PC, but it's also playable on weak hardware....

RazzerRedux1553d ago (Edited 1553d ago )

Imagine playing God of War on PS4 remotely on Vita. You are not actually playing on Vita. You are playing on PS4 streaming to Vita. Same principle applies to any/all streaming. Playing on Stadia is not playing on Chromecast Ultra. It is playing on a PC a long way away and streamed to your device.

So you can't judge BG3 based on whether it can be played on Stadia at all.

Muzikguy1553d ago (Edited 1553d ago )

Exactly. Which also means that "current gen" could easily handle it. In the same way you're talking. Assuming that this computer far away is doing all the work, and information is going back and forth consistently on the network, prepare for huge amounts of lag. I don't see it not being playable though. Most likely just a developer choice on the hardware it wants to support

RazzerRedux1553d ago

If you are saying it could "handle it" by streaming to a current gen console......well....yeah. But that isn't the console "handling" it at all. I mean.....you are probably right that current gen could play this game, but using Stadia as a reference isn't valid.

Days Gone Director Says Bend's Project Costs Over $250M; Says PS Co-CEO Doesn't Want 2 Zombies Games

Days Gone director claims Sony has already poured in at least a $250M in Bend's project; says Days Gone sold more than Death Stranding.

Well that sucks. Seems they want more online trash. I'd rather of had the sequel if it was single player

MrNinosan4h ago

What online trash games did PS Studios release last 10 years?

Notellin2h ago

The past has nothing to do with the future. This is such a terrible argument. Everyone knows about their current live service push.

It's so tragic what happened to days gone. It is such an amazing game but bandwagoners trashed it and it underperformed in it's launch year. Days gone is the best open world zombie game released in the past five years. I was recently playing it on pc and I'm still amazed by it.

Games are very expensive to make and it seems like it's normal for a AAA game to cost over a quarter billion to make so if a quality game like days gone greatly underperforms then people shouldn't be upset when they see a lot of GAAS. I still remember a lot of bandwagoners calling days gone trash but years later it's now amazing when it's considered a failure by sony.

If a game isn't the best thing seen since hats with pockets then a lot of gamers who haven't played it automatically calls it rubbish and whoever made it should be incarcerated

It would be a shame if it was true that Hermen never gave the franchise a chance simply because he didn't like it and they already had a "Zombie" game with TLOU.

NaughtyDog are most likely moving onto a new IP next so it would have been the perfect time to do it.

Here's where xbox steps in and releases state of decay 3 day and date on ps5.

Grilla3h ago

Days gone 2 was canceled before Herman was in charge. That happened like 4 years ago.

vfl5233h ago

4 years ago he was head of Playstation Studios. He would've probably had a hand in the cancelation.

Notellin2h ago

Man two seconds of research could have saved you from this comment. Amazing work Grilla you fit in with the uniformed N4G community who speaks before verifying anything that they say.

Maybe encourage people to buy the game at full price and not when it's heavily discounted or go on plus. If this game had sold well when it was full priced a sequel would have been in the works. They made a single-player game that most people didn't support until they dropped the price.

excaliburps4h ago

Yep. Kind of weird since it wasn't a sales flop, no?

I know we have to take what Ross says with a grain of salt since we're hearing just one side of the story, but even so, the game wasn't bad at all. Heck, it's my brother's favorite last-gen game from what I recall.

The amount of zombies on screen, imagine that with the PS5 and SSD? That would be insanely fun!

Grilla3h ago

Most copies were sold on sale. Not enough ppl bought it at full price. I paid 20$ for it 6 -7 months after release.

Notellin2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Yeah we should never believe the creators side until we hear the corporate/big business side as history has shown we should always believe billion dollar corporations.

What a bootlicker statement.

P_Bomb4h ago

Well I don’t want 10 live service games, but they have no problem doing that lol. Ugh.

CrimsonWing693h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Oh great so we only get what the big wigs want… y’know, the people that really have their fingers on the pulse of what their consumers want. Faaaaantastic!

rippermcrip55m ago

Well consider they know the sales... they do know what the consumer wants.

It sold shit.
