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? Lews_TherinThelamon - 15/03/2012 11:22:04 AM 1434 Views
I'm pretty excited, although I don't really know what to expect (spoilers) beetnemesis - 15/03/2012 01:39:14 PM 975 Views
I think it may be interesting to do a parallel story LadyLorraine - 15/03/2012 01:56:34 PM 1240 Views

So, last night I was playing with some people and someone mentioned a Space Hamster... MightyYT - 15/03/2012 04:09:44 PM 945 Views
Apparently "enhanced" editions of both... one wonders what that's supposed to mean exactly. Legolas - 15/03/2012 10:07:08 PM 985 Views

They'll probably update the UI, controls, and pathfinding. lord-of-shadow - 16/03/2012 05:55:58 PM 876 Views
Hm, yes. Legolas - 16/03/2012 08:30:41 PM 913 Views

Console version? Tweak - 16/03/2012 03:33:22 AM 846 Views
Only a PC version has been confirmed so far. Werthead - 16/03/2012 04:09:42 AM 914 Views
an android tablet version would be cool too. *NM* Tweak - 16/03/2012 06:22:13 AM 457 Views

Here's the run down. Werthead - 16/03/2012 04:15:23 AM 1010 Views
When you say mods, does that include third party mods like tutu and unfinished business? *NM* Lews_TherinThelamon - 16/03/2012 10:55:41 AM 495 Views
Yes. But Tutu might become redundant. Werthead - 17/03/2012 01:15:34 AM 991 Views
I just want my current save to be compatible Lews_TherinThelamon - 17/03/2012 08:57:50 AM 912 Views
Honestly, I'll pay for it. LadyLorraine - 16/03/2012 12:51:35 PM 1106 Views
If they implement a NWN-style editor allowing custom adventures, it could get interesting. Legolas - 16/03/2012 08:33:19 PM 983 Views
that'd make me nerd-gasm. LadyLorraine - 16/03/2012 11:07:01 PM 1077 Views
It'd be pretty sweet, yeah. Legolas - 16/03/2012 11:44:25 PM 1099 Views
I don't think that's so odd LadyLorraine - 17/03/2012 07:45:48 AM 1132 Views
Almost certainly not. Werthead - 17/03/2012 01:18:49 AM 985 Views
NWN was bland in the way pasta is bland LadyLorraine - 17/03/2012 07:46:47 AM 1140 Views
Awww. Shame. Legolas - 17/03/2012 01:39:48 PM 1054 Views
