Forums - Sony - Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition headhunted by Sony

BG (and all similar games) would be pretty nightmarish to play with DualShock - I can see why they port it to iPad, touch screen can be used decently as input method, though I can't say I agree it would be very well suited for WiiU and/or Vita - too small of a screen for that sort of game in my opinion.

If Bioware thinks the game is worth porting to console, then it is their perogative to make that investment and publish to consoles.

Why should Sony pay them to port the game over? At least Sony approached them and asked if the PC/Mac headed Baldur's Gate could also be ported to Sony's consoles.

PS - The Sony PS3 supports Keyboard/Mouse... and maybe they should be okay to have a game that only works Keyboard/Mouse.

Bioware isn't remaking the Enhanced Edition. It's Overhaul Games and Beamdog, to be published by Atari, though not entirely sure how Atari got a hold of the franchise and publishing rights. Entirely possible that Interplay sold the publication rights to Atari because of their financial situation.

I think Atari have had the D&D license for a while now. There was some controversy over the rights between Atari and Hasbro a year or so ago but I think that was settled out of court.
