Wasn't Norrath a title MCA worked on?

Can't wait for the Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor remake/remaster.

The Enhanced Edition of Ruins of Myth Drannor will reformat your hard drive during installation.

29 ugh

Senior Designer on this game, and Level Designer on CoN.

I don't think the game is necessarily good mind, but if they port all of these games made in the same engine that'd be good just so that people can play it again.

Can't wait to play Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel and The Bard's Tale!

you can already play the Bard's tale

 

[Fedora Master]

Just because its called Baldur's Gate doesn't mean it belongs in this forum.

The elf had nice T & A (until you start putting better gear on her)

Some of the other models were noice too

are these the same character? would make for a cool plot twist

No, they just use the same brand of lip filler.

So is this (and DA2?) one of the 7 D&D games in development?
New Dark Alliance
BG3
That Ravenloft thing by Hidden Path
That one by the Underworld Decent mess
DA1 EE
DA2 EE
??? (I think it may have been announced already but I haven't paid too much attention to this stuff)

My memory of this game is that it was kind of fun but had almost no real tactical depth to it.

that's about how i remember it. fun but pointless

 

[Zibniyat]

Since when is fun "pointless"?

 

[Don Peste]

Spoiler

The port was made by https://www.square1.io/, a small web and mobile software company.

 

[NJClaw]

I don't understand. How (and why) is Black Isle still a thing? Did they bring it back from the dead for THIS?

No, no. Square1 made the port (their logo is on the intro), and Vicarious PR is probably handling social media (Twitter account, press release, etc.).

Somewhere in the darkest reaches of the world Beamdog is staring out from the shadows with bloodshot eyes and a perverted smirk.

"Nice Baldur's Gate title you got there... think it needs an enhancing?"

I just learned randomly that this game was supposed to be really popular back then on PS2, and that most people loved it and reviewed very well too.
Which is hilarious because I always remembered it for being a dull, worthless piece of shit that was rightfully slayed on the old italian gaming magazines I used to read.

So now I feel like I'm witnessing a textbook case of Mandela effect where history is being rewritten in front of my own eyes.

Nuh. You are just witnessing shills in action. Though to be fair, it would still probably be better than 99% of the trash that gets released these days.

I don't think it's shills. A lot of people played it as kids and have a lot of nostalgia.

True. While Diablo got console releases the ports weren't very good to play with. But there was a market to fulfill and it was up to the made for console knockoffs, one from the Everquest people (Champions of Norrath) and the Dark Alliance games. Dunno about legit sales or foreign markets, but down here they became a fad during the height of console gaming piracy.

Still would buy it without regret. Ruins of Myth Drannor had best dungeons in modern rpg games.

These fuckin' clown show games have been leading men astray for years. I can guarantee you this conversation has happened at some point:

Hot Girl: "I love Baldur's Gate!"

RPG Codexer: "Who was your favorite companion?"

Hot Girl: "Companion?"

 

[Yosharian]

I don't know anything about this game but I'm excited! Is it going to be like Critical Role? I love that show!

Left click simulator vs twin stick shooter.
The default click-to-do-everything controls for diablo games is awful. Like playing a FPS with a controller.

And yes, I know diablo fans will get butthurt by this because they simply don't know better. They've never played a diablo-like with proper WSAD support ergo they don't understand why it's superior.
