Ok now let’s overanalyze this to death.

Edit1: there’re body tracking sensors but no face tracking, so isometric confirmed.

 

[Grunker]

I can't recall another game being announced then followed by this many months of downright useless promotion content without a shred of something tangible

 

[LESS T_T]

Edit1: there’re body tracking sensors but no face tracking, so isometric confirmed.

Not necessarily:

No need to put things on the face.

 

[Lacrymas]

How do we know it's a gameplay reveal on the 27th? Someone is making shit up for sensationalism me thinks. Also, the logo should've been Bhaal's symbol, but with tentacles somewhere, this new one is overdesigned.

Either like this with tentacles instead of the armored glove fingers or the BG1 version with tentacles somewhere else.

 

[fantadomat]

It will be interesting if they actually released it on 27.3 .

 

[Riddler]

I'm betting on Dragon age style RTWP that is implemented in a hamfisted way.

 

[Cat Dude]

Volo should be a playable character this time.

 

[DalekFlay]

I'm betting on Dragon age style RTWP that is implemented in an hamfisted way.

The fact they increased their dev team so much for it definitely screams Dragon Age style to me, but who knows really. We're allllll guessing.

 

[Lacrymas]

Well, some guesses are more educated than others.

 

[Alienman]

Is BG III financed from the outside? I know about Stadia, I guess they got some money from there... even if it's more or less dead now.

Oh Thanks, I might be wrong on this point then.
Given the actor has an artistic expression on her face my assumption loses any validity.

 

[Turuko]

I'm imagining Early Access in Spring, and full release next year.

you think they're gonna do an Early access?

For Swen Vincke, whose team earned a lot of praise for the turn-based combat system in Divinity: Original Sin 2 , the question of the combat system is not something he wants to put to the vote, even though Baldur's Gate 3 is a kind of beta test or early-access before release Phase should go through .

Ah shit, i missed that

 

[Elex]

This is the motion caption for “swen the knight”.

 

[Elex]

How is Volo still alive?

An imprisonment spell.

 

[pomenitul]

Distinctly un-BG-esque voice-over. Off to precisely the start I expected.

 

[Dodo1610]

Distinctly un-BG-esque voice-over. Off to precisely the start I expected.

Swen said after DOS2 that all his future games are fully voiced because most people don't want to read, the real mystery is whether the protagonist will be fully voiced this time or not.

 

[Lacrymas]

Distinctly un-BG-esque voice-over. Off to precisely the start I expected.

It sounds like something from Harry Potter, honestly.

 

[Mazisky]

Will they use the "we cannot make day night cycles and NPC schedules because they aren't important" excuse this time? Both BGates had them.

 

[pomenitul]

C'mon Infinitron, you know I'm right. Compare with BGII's opening:

 

[Infinitron]

But this is a 27 second teaser trailer, not a solemn opening cinematic. Baldur's Gate on the whole wasn't known for its overly serious voice acting.

I mean it's very much Larian in its style, but IMO the Larian style itself is a close enough match to Baldur's Gate. (including the over the top orchestral music)

 

[pomenitul]

The BG series was ace at straddling the line between seemingly incompatible tones, which is something Larian has been unable to achieve since its inception. D:OS2's forced turn towards seriousness in response to customer feedback fell completely flat as far as I'm concerned.

That will coincide with PAX East, which also starts Feb. 27th.
