Baldur's Gate returns?
Baldur's Gate returns?
Is it possible? Well, just have a look what recently appeared on the net: CLICK. According to GameBanshee, this site belongs to Beamdog, a company owned by a former BioWare designer Trent Oster. When I found out I immediatelly rushed to the Beamdog forums, just to find this post by a user Trent0 signed "-Trent". Finally, I just found THIS posted on youtube by a new user called Beamdogger an hour ago...
I don't even want to think, what this could mean. It's probably just about a port to iOs or another platform, but what if... Do you think there is a chance for a new game in the Baldur's Gate franchise or at least a spiritual successor? Would you like to see one?

When I saw this it was pretty much insta-boner.
Whatever this is, whether it's a HD remake, or whatever, I just hope they do it justice.

Re: Baldur's Gate returns?
Just to take a bit away from the excitement, here is a bunch of updates.
I was assured by Trent himself that the youtube video was not posted by him or anyone associated with Beamdog. He also decided to to tone things down a bit in one of his latest tweets. I am more and more convinced that this new Baldur's Gate thing will just be a port to some iCrap. Especially after seeing this tweet. But I really hope I'm wrong...

My guess--ported to Iphone and ipad.
The armies joined in a bloody battle on this fine day, then storm clouds broke, and it rained.

Sorry for the double post, but I just needed to bump this for this very reason:

Re: Baldur's Gate returns?
The countdown concluded and ... seems like the site froze. Too many people wanting to see what it's all about I think.

slow as dirt, but it should get you past the logo page. having problems loading too, but that's probably due, as suspected above, to heavy traffic.
edit to add a few other links:

edit - more info:
Seems they are revamping the Infinity Engine, and releasing enhanced/revamped versions of BG1 & 2. Dunno if that's good or bad

Re: Baldur's Gate returns?
News of this update infuriates me. I spent 5 years playing this series. Instead of adding new edition's of d and d (like 4th which might work as iwd2 did) they are releasing it for ipad and adding 1 new quest and 1 new npc
Enter peter griffin voice-"Done...."
Ill admit baldurs gate 1 and 2, were very great games, to this day they are extremely nostalgic for me. But you can only play a similar game so many times. I wish them all the best, but i can only hope the new features are more than just 1 new npc and quest. And if that is the case, hopefully pc users can take advantage of it.
