Baldur's Gate Beamdog's Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 Enhanced Editions

actually HAS the ability to make what we would consider a good MoO?

I don't think that it is in the possibility of mankind.

 

[BBMorti]

We really need to save MoO, if it gets turned into a console shooter I fear for what people might do as a reaction to it.

 

[Krivol]

Atari Classics... but no chance for ToEE?

From the MoO wiki:

The future of the franchise is in question with the Atari bankruptcy and asset auction.[2] In what may prove to be one of the largest crowd-funding initiatives to-date, non-profit American Southern University has launched a public bid to salvage the franchise and use the codebase to promote learning in the field and encourage collaborative development.[3]

Ummmm American Southern Uni? Started a crowd funding for the license? WHAT WHAT WHAT???!!!

That's great news. A university would immediately opensource everything.

Trash You might want to newspost this. Also can you split the thread into an "Atari Bankruptcy Auction" thread starting from here http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...rther-speculation.69788/page-127#post-2728992

Yeah, no.

I found the indi gogo... sitting at $40 bucks lol.... Hmmm the http://www.saveatari.com/moo.php says license can be had for 300k

Our immediate plans for Master of Orion 4 are simple:

• Build upon the successes in Master of Orion 3 and the 4X gaming system: explore a vast eXpanding universe, eXpand your empire through colonization or conquest, eXploit opportunities, and eXterminate those that stand in your way.
• Modernize the game engine to work on current systems
• Dramatically improve visuals and game assets
• Rework Artificial Intelligence to make it challenging for all
• Re-envision the storyline to produce an exciting, cohesive plot
• Improve the UI to allow various levels of detail/complexity based on player preferences

Seems legit.

I take back what I said. (except the part about splitting the thread)

Hehe which is why their crowd funding only gathered 49 bucks so far... well lets hope the minor of a bunch of evils ends up with the rights

 

[Average Manatee]

You can tell it's a scam because of flexible funding. If they only get 50k and aren't even at the minimum bid they'll keep it.

 

[Mantiis]

So I was wondering why there wasn't any discussion about BG2 EE and almost created a thread about it. Silly me it's in a fucking mega thread along with BG1 bullshit that I don't care about.

stop complaining and make a thread, faggot

 

[aVENGER]

I have a hard time believing the former's "income" is anything more than a nominal fee or stipend rather than a salary -- if we're talking about the same person account.

It's a standard developer salary.

Fuck you, this forum has gone to shit and you are doing nothing to stop it.

Of course whining will help, good job.

 

[nikolokolus]

Man ... I'd kill to see a proper Star Control III (shaddup you, nothing was made after II). Then again TFB are probably too busy making more money than God with their Skylanders toys/games.

What exactly do you need to know so badly about BG2: EE besides the fact that it is being made by beamdog faildog?

 

[DalekFlay]

The EE for BG2 is nothing but a fart in Oster's couch cushions at this point, which is why there is no thread for it.

 

[Mantiis]

What exactly do you need to know so badly about BG2: EE besides the fact that it is being made by beamdog faildog?

The fact that it was going to happen would have been nice to know and also:
- would it include ToB
- any mods
- any fixes
- what enhancements
- any new content

And the usual shit talking that threads have in them.

I don't give a fuck about BG1, the game was terrible, all this open space with nothing in it and a boring narative. As a result I almost never played BG2 or planescape because they used the same engine but thankfully a friend of mine decided to play them and let me know that they weren't terrible.

BG1 and BG2 are very different and it seems logical to me to have separate threads regarding the EE. I assumed that a thread was made for BG2:EE and merged into this monstrosity.

As I just tried to say, there is no information yet. When there is someone will surely make a thread about it. The only mention of a BG2:EE at this point is "we'd like to make that after this one."

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

- would it include ToB Yes
- any mods Yes
- any fixes Yes
- what enhancements Blurry new backgrounds, the ability to zoom, new portraits and voice sets
- any new content New mod-quality romance-able transgendered druid otherkin party member

I answered all your questions and I have it on good authority they're all coming like I say.

We're going down the toilet, are we?

Well, I guess I am the biggest faggot since you started posting again

SCOTUS issues major ruling promoting faggotry. Mantiis returns.

Coincidence?

So clearly you enjoy sifting through shit.

I missed your redneck ways.

Maybe we could merge all the faggot threads into one faggot thread? Discuss?
