The Baldur's Gate Countdown Begins!

Hopefully some more info soon on what exactly gets Enhanced and what platforms...

I gotta say "Enhanced Edition" sounds better than BG3. I don't know if I could handle a modern remake. But then again maybe that's what this is. MOAR INFO!

Look what i found http://overhaulgames.com/
Baldurs gate enchanced edition,
Im okay with this.

Hmm, the enhanced edition icon links to the Bauldur's Gate page, could be the new product.

Well Trent tweeted it, some kind of enhanced version.

Ah well, shouldnt have gotten my hopes up.

Ill come back in a couple years when we get a kickstarter going.

whew, so it's not a Baldur's Gate modern FPS. I'm happy to hear that it'll be just an enhanced edition

I'd like to know more about the enhanced edition, but the site seems to have crashed from overload.

If they make the graphics and mechanics actually decent I will play it.

 

[margibso]

Not sure what I think of this. I am currently half way through a replay of the trilogy and I'm not sure I'll be ready to play through it again when the enhanced version comes out.

 

[Chairman Miaow]

Kind of dissappointed but don't really want to judge until I've seen what's actually enhanced.

 

[doublenix]

If they make the graphics and mechanics actually decent I will play it.

And what was so bad about the mechanics?

 

[Tragedy's Rebellion]

I'm kind of disappointed as well, I've already played Baldur's gate recently, sooo if this doesn't overhaul the entire mechanics I don't think I'll be playing it ;d

 

[Ramith]

Apparently itll have new content...

Thats a bit better....

If the graphics are enhanced, does this mean I'll actually be able to see that ankheg plate armor lying on the ground?

 

[Susurrus]

With the widescreen mod AND TuTu available to upgrade the experience of Baldur's Gate I, it needs quite a lot of enhancing if I'm to get even vaguely interested in purchasing it again.

A more interesting development might have been to try a stand-alone expansion pack for Baldur's Gate II (Stand-alone in terms of story, rather than engine/etc) and see if there was any interest.

[Ramith]

I kinda want that sippy cup....

 

[doublenix]

Over an hour later... site still tanked. LOL

 

[mac88]

I'm looking forward to this enhanced edition

 

[GoaThief]

Sweet. I'm sold, especially as I haven't played BG in years.

 

[Absimilliard]

Huh, the site's actually available now...
(Ironically, the loading speed reminds me of the '90s...)
It has the announcement of the Enhanced Edition, and the message ?Stay tuned for more information.?.
