Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance Announced

It’s been done before. Even Ultima 7 was ported to Nintendo. So with the next generation of consoles, Black Isle Studios is catering to the demand of the PS2 crowd and bringing them a brand new 3rd-person action/adventure named Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance. Read a snippet here, then go view the whole press release:

“We are developing the game from the ground up to take full advantage of the sophisticated PlayStation 2 technology,” stated Ryan Geithman, Director of Snowblind Studios. “Our goal is to push the hardware to its limits thus creating stunning environmental effects and highly detailed characters never before seen on the console.”

Lofty, but I have a feeling they can get the job done.
