"Enhanced" Baldur's Gate With New Content This Summer

[citation][nom]IQ11110002[/nom]Ahhhhhhhh the fond memories of meeting the original "troll" called Noober, Long before or the trolls on forums and youtube.I'm sure a lot of you will remember him, HEY YA! HEY YA! HEY YA![/citation]

i always killed him 😀

I hope they improve multiplayer/LAN. At least the Game Stop (Used to be Impulse) version is kinda bug ridden in BG2.

I've always wished for Bioware to fix the loose ends & bugs in BG1, but this news is a nightmare. We don't need 'new content' for BG. The original BG1 art, design, sounds, music & style were what made the game so fun & atmospheric. Even BG2 couldn't come close in terms of quality (but was better in that it offered much more quantity and fixed almost every engine & gameplay glitch & hassle).

What we really need is Bioware to respond to fans reporting the problems running BG1 on modern systems for years: the graphic glitches that force you to run software BLITs (not much of a problem anymore on fast computers), and the real killer: the continuous non-combat ambient music hardly ever plays & almost never loops on fast computers. This minor annoyance has completely destroyed the atmosphere of playing.

Awesome news; these games were a lot of fun to play. Great sound effects and plots and classic RPG gameplay. And personally, I think the isometric graphics hold up very well, even today. But this update will be interesting to see.

I'm soooooooo paying for this. What do you think, Boo?

If they're updating the Infinity Engine, that opens up remake options for the others, like Planescape:Torment as well.

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

go for the eyes boo.. minsc and boo.. that game was the reason i fell in love with rpg's
it was soooo good

[citation][nom]killerclick[/nom]Oooooh, I hope they do this with Planescape Torment.[/citation]

Yep! That is what I am hoping too! That game is so well done, but a little bit aged craphically.

[citation][nom]Antimatter79[/nom]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.[/citation]

no pardon is required , bioware/EA did dragon age 2, they are still quite guilty of that sin this baldur's gate ehanced is gonna be the sole re-work of atari bioware's old publisher (after black isle ) atari owns the DnD rights now though because they are owned by hasbro who in turn owns Wizards of the coast , the guys that assimilated TSR after it went bankrupt.

so again don't give pardon to bioware because bioware itself has NOTHING to with the Enhanced version of baldur's gate , aside from having developed the original. Would you pardon a killer for a serial murder , just because 5 years before he gave money to a kids charity and today his mom gave them ten million dollars on top of that ?


That said i look forward to this enhanced versions , and i hope they include throne of bhaal on the set , too , i'd love to completely replay this series

I absolutely LOVED Baldurs Gate all the way through to Throne of Bhall. The problem is games are so cool now, going back to that 3/4 view and tiny characters just seems meh...

 

[neiroatopelcc]

hope the remake will be as well made as the monkey island ones or settlers 2 anniversary edition
