"Enhanced" Baldur's Gate With New Content This Summer : Read more

 

[LancerVI]

I love remakes. It's been long enough that I'll pay for both games again.

 

[kyuuketsuki]

This sounds awesome. Can't wait to replay some Baldur's Gate goodness.

 

[Nakal]

Shut up and take my money!!!

 

[Chainzsaw]

I might be interested. I always read how great the baldurs gate series were but never had the chance to try them out. However this sounds like a perfect time to do so.

 

[Vearo]

I have never played Balder's Gate. The Enhanced Version looks like a great reason to start!

 

[Lord Captivus]

YEAH!!
I played the games a few years ago (again) and i was amazed by all the differents characters you can make, modern games dont have that much customization, that was awesome!

 

[goatsetung]

Fantastic! I've been meaning to replay the games but haven't bothered - too much work getting old games to run properly.

 

[jl0329]

How enhanced will this be? I wish they stay true to the old system & mechanic. Graphic wise, I really hope it meets today's standard.

Because if you look at BG1&2 today, it's basically a pixel fest.

I am not a big fan of HD remaking because all those HD make collections on PS3 are not that HD.

 

[FinneousPJ]

Wow I guess it's a must buy.

 

[killerclick]

Oooooh, I hope they do this with Planescape Torment.

 

[senkasaw]

Sweet! Baldur's Gate was one of my all t-- ah s!@t...hold on, I gotta change my pants. I'll be right back.

 

[funguseater]

Baldurs Gate is alright.... But lets get PLANESCAPE:TORMENT !!!!!!!!!!

 

[jhansonxi]

Hopefully they integrate Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate II, and ToSC like the Baldur's Gate Trilogy mod does.

There were some engine limitations, music track limit for example,that were annoying modders.

 

[beetlejuicegr]

Planescape tormeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeent plxxxxxxxxx

 

[Antimatter79]

This will be a great service to the greatest PC RPG saga of all time (greatest to me, anyways). If this is done correctly, I will even consider granting a full pardon to Dragon Age II, the mess that it was, for tricking me into buying it on release day for full price (hell, for any price). I don't even allow the box for DA2 to be displayed alongside my other Baldur's Gate and Dragon Age boxes.

 

[Tab54o]

I just bought the original very recently.

 

[Zagen30]

I bought used copies of the 2 BG's and Planescape late last year since I've heard for years that they're some of the best western RPGs ever but never played any of them. I was thinking about starting BG1 now that I'm done with ME3, but if this is really that close to release I'll sell my BG collection and wait for it.

 

[creatorsid]

So will this be old HardCore work for it AD&D 2nd ED. or the cartoony,super-hero like 3rd to 4th D&D ED?

 

[wysiwygbill]

I hope they don't use the cookie cutter maps that NWN used. One thing I liked about Baldur's Gate was the great looking maps and unique locations.

 

[aidynphoenix]

played BG1 got far into the game, finally started to get bored with and and resorted to cheats to get it done faster.. all in all, it was a fantastic game when i played without the cheats.
hope the remake is worthy..
"You Point, I Punch"
"I Serve The Flaming Fist"

 

[aidynphoenix]

BG2 wasnt for me. it didnt feel right to me. I would of had rather started my adventure outdoors. the begining area where you start the game lasted too long, i got bored and quit playing.
i was eager to get outside and explore areas like i did with BG1.

 

[RedJaron]

If they're basing this on existing code, then don't worry about cookie-cutter maps. My bet is they will modify the Infinity Engine for higher res displays and they'll re-render the sprites likewise. Otherwise, they'll use the same sound, music, voices, maps, etc.

And yes, making this run on current systems can be a pain. Bring on some epic multiplayer again!

"Squeaky wheel gets the boot!"

Minsc and Boo were awesome.

Definitely looking forward to this.
