Well, I don't want to see a BG game in the PS, because I won't be able to play it.

But I'm particularly against this one. First of all, its not developed by Black Isle. This is a heresy. Also it does nothing to match to the quality of Baldur's Gate. Baldur's Gate became a famous game because of its focus on detail, story and open-endedness. This just seems to take advantage of an already succesful series, without making any effort of their own. The story is practically the same as in BG1, (who's betting that you'll find out you're adopted and you and your sister are children of a certain Lord of murder?), there's none of Baldur's Gate vast, living world, just hack and slush, and come on, 20 levels? 3 character classes? They're using the good name of our favourite game and we can't let this go on. Let the make their own game, and their own story if they want to make an RPG, not use Baldur's Gate just for the publicity.
