right, youve asked for it, feel the might of my F5 KEY WEBSITE,

WEBSITE MEET REFRESH, REFRESH LOAD WEBSITE, ZIDINE SMAAAAAAAAAAAASH


ehm, seriously this is frustrating, but i guess they really underestimated the demand.

lol!
oh yes..I think just how badly the demand for more isometric games has been underestimated is nothing short of criminal.
look at the kickstarter for wasteland 2.....1,000,000 and skyrocketing still after only a couple of days. then imagine the unprepared servers, subject to the wrath of even HALF the people who love the genre enough to pay the devs to make it...XD those poor servers.

Ok finally got the site up again and...nothing. Just the countdown timer at 0:00:00. Also no music now. So was that timer for when they lose the rights to the music?

 

[doublenix]

Blame reddit. Love that.

 

[Chairman Miaow]

this could turn into the best chuck testa joke ever, calling it now.

Baldur's Gate 3? Nope, Chuck Testa.

 

[Radiant Croceus]

My theory is that they can't update because everyone's on the site. But they couldn't leave the things embedded because it's not hard to view the page source.

Clearly the smart plan would be to have another page set up on a different server to redirect traffic.

Look what i found http://overhaulgames.com/
Baldurs gate enchanced edition,

I gotta say "Enhanced Edition" sounds better than BG3. I don't know if I could handle a modern remake. But then again maybe that's what this is. MOAR INFO!

Hmm, the enhanced edition icon links to the Bauldur's Gate page, could be the new product.

 

[Ramith]

Well Trent tweeted it, some kind of enhanced version.

Ah well, shouldnt have gotten my hopes up.

Ill come back in a couple years when we get a kickstarter going.

 

[dyre]

whew, so it's not a Baldur's Gate modern FPS. I'm happy to hear that it'll be just an enhanced edition

EDIT: Summer 2012

I'd like to know more about the enhanced edition, but the site seems to have crashed from overload.

 

[tmande2nd]

If they make the graphics and mechanics actually decent I will play it.

 

[margibso]

Not sure what I think of this. I am currently half way through a replay of the trilogy and I'm not sure I'll be ready to play through it again when the enhanced version comes out.

 

[Chairman Miaow]

Kind of dissappointed but don't really want to judge until I've seen what's actually enhanced.

 

[doublenix]

If they make the graphics and mechanics actually decent I will play it.

And what was so bad about the mechanics?

 

[Tragedy's Rebellion]

I'm kind of disappointed as well, I've already played Baldur's gate recently, sooo if this doesn't overhaul the entire mechanics I don't think I'll be playing it ;d

 

[Ramith]

Apparently itll have new content...

Thats a bit better....
