They mention the remake being 1to1 as far as gameplay is concerned ; and as far as I am concerned, this is the only way a remake should be done.

Agreed, let us hope they do not fuck it up somehow.

I've just replayed the RoA trilogy, and I am awed at the amount of utterly inane design decisions in there. At least BoD is mercifully free of "all your items are taken away, lol" crap that plagues 2 and 3, but its penchance for instaTPK and "lol u r stuck in this dungeon forever, trolled u" needs serious reviewing.

Attic had a time machine, flew into the future, ripped the music of Unreal Tournament, flew back and then tried to emulate it in the 1992 release of Blade of Destiny.
Some people say the opening music in the BoD rolling demo sounds like Back to the Future. Wouldn't be surprised if that was intentional seeing how Attic loved ripping other stuff off.

Does anyone know if this game will actually have the original game system and plot/quests with the only difference being the presentation layer (video/audio/interface)?

EDIT: already answered above.

July 2013? Really? If, so: :incline: .

I will buy this very hard. But... I think the travel / worldmap looks really damn ugly. They shouldn't have made it 3D at all. What is wrong with a cool 2D map? Would have looked like a million times better.

Official site?Seems to be quite new, with a virgin forum
http://dsa.craftystudios.com/en/

It's well crafty studio, as I can remember it was not very clear about who's in charge of the dev, in earlier post ;)

The site say it will be available on Steam, but when checking on Steam, nothing under names of "realms of arkhania" or "blade of destiny" appears, so perhaps it will be the same thing as Expedition:Conquistadors, when we had to wait the last day to see the game added in the steam catalogue.
CE at amzon.de delayed or out of stock?

Amazon says it will be released on July 30. Also, it's a good sign that it is already in second place among the role-playing bestsellers, right behing Skyrim. And that is only with pre-orders a month before the release.

So people blindly bying a game no one has tried is a good sign of its qualities?

It's a good sign of its upcoming success. And people know that it will be the old game mechanics with new graphics.
