Btw. he seems to be serious about this "Baldur's Gate 3" thing, he said it again:

Some new companions and a quest here or there would be fanciful and nice.

Maybe give Boo a few new squeaks.

Anyone know if it is retaining the same D&D edition rules?

 

it's sticking to 2nd Edition

 

Lol, what a retard.

 

At the time he couldn't have known the site's purpose. Stop being harsh on everyone here.

 

Lol, two non-newfags talking. Both joined in 2011.

 

You have an avatar which means you're likely not an alt. Wait till 2013 if you want to have your opinions taken more seriously.

 

My girlfriend is about finished playing BG2, and I was thinking about giving it a spin. With this news, I might just wait. I think enhancing the graphics is a great way to reinvigorate old game like these. It is rare when a studio does high quality Isometric graphics. Also, the guy's blog ( http://www.trentoster.com/ ) is an interesting read covering video game development and software design.

 

You come to the Codex and call turn based shit? You're not even worthy of newfag, that's too glorious a title for you. You're just fucking retarded. GTFO.

 

Cynic, may I ask why, with 623 posts on the dex, you're still bend on feeding the troll?

 

Some of us have this Volournian need to have the last reply.

 

I like arguing what can I say?

 

I don't happen to be the only Codexian who thinks TB is shit. I also provided arguments to back up my opinion. In fact, there are plenty of people on the Codex who think that real-time is better than turn-based, at least in certain fashions of CRPGs.

You, on the other hand, are just a newfag trying to acquire some KKKs by conforming to certain attitudes of some Codexian assholes (turn-based is uber alles, GTFO newgenfag ololo).

 

Sup Drog?

 

Oh fucking fuck. Okay, I learnt my lesson, no more food for you.

 

Shut up back there! I'm trying to masturbate over this great news.

Seriously though, if it's just a hd remake with improved interface some tweaks and all that good stuff, a minimal amount of tastefully done new content then it will be great. If not then you can all pirate it and lament the injustice and grief it caused you while blogging about it to no end on the codex.

It's a win/win situation really.

 

I like this new guy.

 

Oh look he's releasing it for iPad as well.

By the looks of it they aren't giving it much of an "overhaul" afterall. Unless these photos aren't representitive of the final product, the UI looks exactly the same, I expected something a lot more drastic than this. I guess the character models do look better, though. I guess this will be the better way to play the game unless the new content is horrific.

Couldn't they have released some screenshots that actually show it off better?

 

That just looks like BG with a BG2 GUI. Hope they do more than just that.

The ipad one looks like a photoshop. Still, the Infinity Engine actually lends itself fairly well to a touch interface (though doing a lot of scrolling is annoying), as long as they add a big honking pause button somewhere.

 

Hey stabface, where are the screenies from?

I removed the the "PC version" screenshot was IGN being retarded and posting an image of the original. I wonder if this is what the final game is actually going to look like or not.

 

Thanks broski.

Also, massive if they're using BG2/IWD models. I understand the BG models were missing critical animations, but they were so much better than the replacements.

 

There will probably be a OnePixelProductions for this too.

As for the screenshots, I'm thinking "wat".

They might as well have been showing us GemRB.

 

Yeah, I have no idea what's up with that. Someone leaked the screenshots before they went public and I thought it was just GemRB as well. Those are apparently real screenshots and not mockups, though. It doesn't look any different from the original.

 

I dunno, the models do look a little sharper, but screenshots + blurry screen can do wonders for your imagination.
