Website Teases New Baldur's Gate ... Something - UPDATED

[CardinalPiggles]

Definitely not worth getting any sort of hopes up, EA wouldn't allow it.

I'd LOVE for a new BGA for the 360/PS3/WiiU, or even a BG3 for PC.

I thought I was the only one that actually liked Dark Alliance, one of my favourite games in fact. But DA wasn't developed by Bioware, it was developed by SnowBlind studios. I think.

Ok people i have news about this! "BG3: Terror rising" is going to be a FPS based in modern day Estonia! You customize your character, and are in a squad under the command of Lieutenant Boo, a talking hamster morph who fires lasers from his eyes, and has a bionic arm. ((Voice by Samuel L. Jackson doing a Mr. T impression.))

Am i the only one who actually wants to play that game?

So there is a God after all.

Spoiler: Now How about another Bards Tale

At this point I no longer trust Bioware to touch Baldur's Gate. Honestly, it's probably best left alone at this point. If they want to do a HD re release then maybe that could not turn out to be a total mess but after seeing what Bioware has turned into since it was sucked into the EA machine and stripped of anything that used to make them special I'd rather they just let it be.

Edit: After seeing this is Beamdog and NOT Bioware I say bring it on! Bioware can go rot in a ditch for what they mean to me anymore.

I get the feeling I might be saying this one for a while but this has nothing to do with Bioware. Beamdog is doing something with the Baldur's Gate games right now that isn't the Baldur's Gate Complete Edition coming to Steam. Beamdog are the ones who did whatever they did with that website.

If it is a sequel they better not use 4.0e rules for their stats! DOWN WITH 4-OH!

As the silver moon waxes and wanes, so too does life.

Selune, goddess of the moon. Also from BGII.

So your move everyone who said they would boycott Bioware/EA after ME3

Not gonna FUCKING happen... unless minsc is DLC or something...

If Minsc is DLC I'll LOSE MY MIND! FUCK!

Oh no... you can have Minsc. Wouldn't take that from you.

But Boo! Boo will cost you $20!! After all, he's only cosmetic right? Not essential to the plot, right? He even hampers game play. Without him, you have an extra inventory slot.

So $20, Day 1 DLC, not even available in the special edition, collectors edition, or even super special awesome deluxe edition with cherries on the box.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Mark me down as "cautiously optimistic". If it's a BG3, I'll definitely be disappointed though. The Baldur's Gate Saga was about a Bhaalspawn's journey: emerging from childhood only to have her foster father murdered before her, she eventually finds out that the cause was her heritage, she continues to struggle with said heritage, and ultimately decides whether she wishes to ascend to assume the mantle or be rid of the taint. That's it, in a nutshell. At the end of ToB, the journey is completed, there is no more room for a BG3.

I'd love to see an HD release of BG1 or BG2, though... A girl can dream...

Baldur's Gate 3: Return of the FanRage.

Catchy title.

Anyway, I honestly hope they leave the franchise dead. Dragon Age was supposed to be the company's return to that sort of game and it only lasted for Origins. Then BioWare decided they could "modernize" the already modern game.

Anyone who thinks a remake, or sequel, or whatever, would be good, I'll redirect you to Syndicate and XCOM. You're not going to get a faithful addition to the series. All you'll get is a game with vestigial ties to the franchise, wrapped around a game designed for a totally different audience. Their hope is fans will buy it for namesake, but new players will buy it for the gameplay.

Baldur's Gate is dead, and the BioWare that made it is dead, too. The studio is not the same anymore. Get over it, and move on.

Bioware has nothing to do with this it's another company called Beamdog who was made of former Bioware employees who is doing...something with Baldur's Gate that isn't the Baldur's Gate Complete Edition coming to steam. I wish they would fix this article already since seeing so many people getting misinformed is really getting annoying to me.

"HD re-release"... we call that a resolution mod.
As far as I can remember, the rights for the series are now with at Atari, so what's Bioware got to do with it?

I really hope it's a modernized re-release. I tried to play Baldur's gate, but I just couldn't get over the archaic UI. Never thought I'd be hoping for a remake, but I still have faith in Bioware.

Sorry, didn't read the comments before posting. If Beamdog is involved, it would mean the games are getting released on Beamdog, since it's a digital distribution service, like Steam/GOG/Impulse, etc. I agree, this article is just misleading and wrong.

No problem I don't think it's even mentioned until page 2.

Well no point in that faith since this has nothing to do with them. Read above your post for more.

 

[Caligulove]

Sequel or HD Re-release, anything! fuck if I care! Im all on board wherever this train is a-taking me.

 

[balberoy]

EA Bioware who cares what they do?
You can't buy games from them anyway.

I really like the old games, but since DA:O Bioware just pushed out bad games
with a lot of fucking DLC wich are sometimes plot relevant (Shadowbroker? or in DA:O
Witchhunt)

Bioware needs to split up from EA and start making complete games again, then I will
wait until I see the game and then they may earn my trust again, until that day,
they can kiss my ass.

If you don't buy the DLC minsc is all depressed.

Minsc and Boo stand... far apart :'(

Go for the eyes bo... oh he's gone :'(

and he just sits down during combat and cries

The article is wrong Bioware has nothing to do with this at all. A company called Beamdog which is formed from ex Bioware employees is doing something unannounced with the Baldur's Gate games that isn't the complete edition coming to steam.
