A slew of classic computer role-playing games — including Planescape: Torment, Neverwinter Nights, and multiple entries in the Baldur’s Gate series — will be playable on consoles for the first time later this year.

Beamdog, the developer behind the existing PC editions of these titles, announced the news Thursday in conjunction with Skybound Games. The ports will be the enhanced versions of Baldur’s Gate (originally launched in 1998), Baldur’s Gate 2: Shadows of Amn (2000), Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear (2016), Icewind Dale (2000), Neverwinter Nights (2002), and Planescape: Torment (1999).

Neat. Also why?

Ehh.. A bit late?

I'd love if they just completely remade them with a new engine and graphics and stuff. Not remaster, just a complete remake.

Maybe we'll get an FPS remake like they did with Fallout.

NWN I could see having a home now that online play is standard. We used to play that at LAN parties in a church basement. That was the shit. Hell, people straight up watch other people play D&D on twitch now. NWN has a 2019 crowd, especially if you keep all the scenario building and add in things like DM tools.

Baldur's gate...I dunno if there's room for it anymore with POE and Diablo kind of crowding everything else out already.

I'd buy Icewind Dale 3 in a heartbeat.

It reminded me of a gay version of this:



...Someone should make a Mr. Clean image all D&D badass. D&D is officially badass now because I say so.

D&D badass because of, like, the OP and jive about RPG'ish stuff. Alright, hasta mañana.
