Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition
So... seems that they may be remaking/remastering/re-releasing/sequeling Baldur's Gate, and there may be some official announcement soon (tm), but at the moment there is some viral stuff to go on.
I loved this game to pieces, its definitely in my top 5 and if there is a new version or the old one is getting a HD release then I want in. If you go to http://www.baldursgate.com/ and view the source code, you can see the comments that have gone up yesterday, and they are changing since it seems more was added over night. You can see them above and bellow the actual site coding. Quote:

Also someone found something with Steam ID codes tying into BG. BioWare Teases New Baldur's Gate ... Something |
I guess if this is true, and it's an official re-make, i guess those poor modders who were working for years on their own mod redux can hang the gloves up if they already haven't. But lets wait and see, it could simply be a promotion for BG on Steam.

Crossing my fingers to have Imoen as a romantic interest... XD
|
So, what, not content with ruining Mass Effect and what little was good about Dragon Age, EA is forcing Bioware to ruin Baldur's Gate as well? Wonderful. :heh:
|
I'm not sure if EA or Bioware are even involved. They haven't had any influence over the property in ages (rights were held by Interplay, kicked over to Atari, and finally reclaimed by Hasbro), and I'd be surprised if they were suddenly contracted to work on an update.
As with MDK2 HD, Beamdog (ex-Bioware developers) is handling development. There's no word on a publisher yet, but Atari has recently re-released the old games through digital and retail outlets. |
Ok , if it's not a fake , they really want to kill all their licence...

If you want to be nitpicky about it I suppose that means the dragon Bhaalspawn toward the middle of ToB was your brother! :D |

If Baldur's Gate I, II and Throne of Bhaal gets remade, I'll die of a heart attack! I spent endless hours on those games!
|
AFAIK Imoen romance mod don't go into the expansion, so I never actually tried it. All or nothing. :heh:

It's cool they're keeping the 2nd rule set. It'll probably throw some folks for a loop who never played it. I also thought it was funny the guy that took offence to it being 2nd ed. My friend (me to probably) is pretty much going to disappear from the world when this is released, lol. |
I would have preferred if they ripped out the clunky and unintuitive AD&D 2nd edition rules and replaced it with something actually designed for a PC game.
|
It would probably make things easier. But I don't remember having any real problems with it.

Wasn't BG 2.5 Ed? Sorcerers were in their I'm sure, or maybe that was BG 2.
