They can't remake the games in 3D without a ludicrous budget. Werthead Send a noteboard - 16/03/2012 04:10:14 AM
BioWare apparently calculated the cost of remaking BG2 in the DRAGON AGE engine and apparently it would be so time-consuming and expensive it would put the near-ruinous proposed costs of remaking FF7 to shame. Apparently it's not even remotely feasible. BG2 in particular is too varied with almost each location being completely unique in art style and assets. Remaking them all in 3D would be an astronomical amount of work.

Baldur's Gate returns? - 15/03/2012 11:22:04 AM 1332 Views
I'm pretty excited, although I don't really know what to expect (spoilers) - 15/03/2012 01:39:14 PM 872 Views
I think it may be interesting to do a parallel story - 15/03/2012 01:56:34 PM 1154 Views

Apparently "enhanced" editions of both... one wonders what that's supposed to mean exactly. - 15/03/2012 10:07:08 PM 871 Views

They'll probably update the UI, controls, and pathfinding. - 16/03/2012 05:55:58 PM 797 Views
Hm, yes. - 16/03/2012 08:30:41 PM 816 Views

Console version? - 16/03/2012 03:33:22 AM 742 Views
Only a PC version has been confirmed so far. - 16/03/2012 04:09:42 AM 820 Views
an android tablet version would be cool too. *NM* - 16/03/2012 06:22:13 AM 405 Views

Here's the run down. - 16/03/2012 04:15:23 AM 905 Views
When you say mods, does that include third party mods like tutu and unfinished business? *NM* - 16/03/2012 10:55:41 AM 428 Views
Yes. But Tutu might become redundant. - 17/03/2012 01:15:34 AM 884 Views
I just want my current save to be compatible - 17/03/2012 08:57:50 AM 810 Views
Honestly, I'll pay for it. - 16/03/2012 12:51:35 PM 1008 Views
If they implement a NWN-style editor allowing custom adventures, it could get interesting. - 16/03/2012 08:33:19 PM 901 Views
that'd make me nerd-gasm. - 16/03/2012 11:07:01 PM 971 Views
It'd be pretty sweet, yeah. - 16/03/2012 11:44:25 PM 991 Views
I don't think that's so odd - 17/03/2012 07:45:48 AM 1045 Views
Almost certainly not. - 17/03/2012 01:18:49 AM 886 Views
NWN was bland in the way pasta is bland - 17/03/2012 07:46:47 AM 1032 Views
Awww. Shame. - 17/03/2012 01:39:48 PM 952 Views
