I think the site should have been updated with more info but it's probably down from all the traffic. There should be more information coming later today.

Stupid countdowns.

Although, I'd have to tip my hat to their trolling if the actual update does just turn out to be this stupid comic strip.

Probably just use all the fan tweaks, fixes, unfinished business type stuff and the high res support/text mods, just a little more presentable and user friendly.

It crosses my mind that there's one 'fan tweak' the glues BG1 and 2 together. Now *that's* quite a prospect!

 

[Gentleman Jack]

No, this would be just as horrible.
BG is an AD&D game, I don't see it working as anything else.

Some BG2 NPCs (Mazzy!) would benefit from rules changes which didn't necessitate special powers to make up for the fact that halflings can't be paladins in 2nd Ed.

I will upend tea tables if this is the case.

This is BG1, and even if so - Making Mazzy and actual Paladin would require to change her character quite a bit...
The game should just remain as it is in terms of gameplay. If thy want to fix something just make the UI more accessible and the graphics on par with BG2. That's it.

Oh, and fix the bugs and things like that.

Baldurs Gate would be fine with any edition of D&D. It'd just require more work for them to go back and rebalance everything, so it's probably going to stay 2nd.

Which means that Atari is technically releasing a 2nd Edition game in 2012, when they have yet to put out a single 4th Edition game that wasn't the facebook thing.

I hope everybody who didn't want iOS version are happy now. Feel free to enjoy the butchered classic on your beloved PC, lol

 

[Anarkin]

No trailer, nothing? And why is Atari involved in this? I thought they lost the D&D license.

They probably wouldn't do that, you can expect BGII EE as well in the future...

I'll hunt you down if that happens Baldur's Gate is serious business.

And it being on iOS would not have been a butchered classic? Please, show me your time machine where you've already seen this port

 

[Anoregon]

Well, at least the goofy cartoon announcement says Summer 2012. That's not too far away.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

Motherfucker, this really is all we're getting today isn't it

They lost the license as far as anything new goes. WotC is allowing them to rerelease/update/maintain everything they and, somehow, Interplay published.

Isn't Baldur's Gate owned by EA????????
