Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition will not launch on Steam

How is the release going to work from Beamdog? Is it going to be standalone & DRM free?

Well that blows but it's still a day one purchase for me.

I understand about steam since they want it DRM free but why the hell they wont release it on GOG ? I dont want to create a new account to more DD services adamosmaki

You're lucky the only thing you have to complaing about in life is creating an account to buy a game.

This Trent Oster guy has some guts.

They already said in the article there's not going to be another DD service. It's going to be available on their website and the App Store.

On topic, this doesn't bother me. Was planning on getting it day one.

If it installs on your PC then it'll launch through steam, just add it with "Add Non-Steam Games to Library".

Tbh im not that interested in this... "version". Even more so the more you read... They have dlc planned? The main focus is the tablet? Hardly any new content? Abit higher res... All of these things except the tablet and dlc have been done by free =/KalDurenik

You people spend 60 dollars on CoD every year. Spending 40 dollars on two of the best games EVER created, being remade with better graphics and more content is somehow not interesting, or is deserving of quotations around the word version?

I couldn't care less about this remake. The original games look and play just fine. Quite frankly, I am getting sick of all of these remakes, reboots, and re-releases. Talk about a complete lack of creativity in this industry.

The GoG versions work great on all newer systems (except Macs but who cares about Apple).

I also don't care about a new Baldur's Gate (Plansecape, Icewind Dale, etc.) games as they would most certainly be dumbed-down, fully voiced with constant cinematic events,to placate the ADHD inflicted "Millennial Generation"and I don't confidence in modern developers to do the games justice, either. If I actually thought there was a developer who could pull of a BG3 I might feel differently.

Do you even know who the millennials are? Peole born in the late 70s where the ones who enjoyed the game originally! Infinity Engine games weren't that complex anyway.

[QUOTE="marshbaboon"] I'd agree if not for the fact that the first game won't run on most newer systems at all, including my own. This re-release is the only way I'm going to get to play BG1 + tosc again which I'm really looking forward to. Besides they're adding new content and we could potentially see a BG 3 out of this if it sells well.Nikalai_88

I've seen it as the late 70's through the early 90's, so, yeah, I know who they are. They're the idiots buying new smart phones and tablets every year. The ones who need to be connected every minute of every day to give their life the illusion of meaning. The Generation of Swine.

Maybe they have friends?

Well i dont own a single cod my brother have one for the console and i have played on it for like 20min and came to the conclusion that its boring ;). Every time they open their mouth about this rerelease i just cant help but facepalm. First of all it sound like the tablet version is more important, then they have dlc planned, then its just a stepping stone for them to get to work on some other larger titles and then they are not doing anything special that have not already been made by fans for free... They will only bump the resolution (fan made patch have done this) because the source material is lost. Then they are going to make some minor new content and remake the ui to make it work on tablets and well yeah... Anyway i honestly dont care at all. Oh and yes i own the classic rpgs and i just think this is sad... Trying to milk a known name so that their overlords can grant them a ok to milk the game more by making a continuation or more "resolution bumps" to the old classics... Let them RIP they do not need to be continued on... Also BG work without problem for most of my friends (on newer computers) even multiplayer work but it was abit tricky to get it to work :OKalDurenik

They're not just bumping the resolution. They wouldn't hire a pretty well-known artist if that was the case. I know you're just trying to troll, but it works better when you actually know what you're talking about.

This is a cash grab. The games are fine as they are, especially with all the mods. Make a new friggin RPG and stop trying to milk these games.

No, they use gadgets and "social connectivity" to simulate having friends, because actually hanging out with and talking to people is too stressful and awkward for them. Also, stop being a douche. Nobody likes douches.

Does this remake has a release date yet? Can't wait for this game, imagine how the Carsomyr +5 will look!!robertoenrique

I don't really see how i'm being a douche, but ok.

this game really didnt need a remake, the tutu mod fixes it just fine. planescape torment would have been nice, especially if they upgraded graphics and made it fully voiced.

Are you kidding me? PS:T has a word count that ties with what was it, five and a half Harry Potter books? Making it fully voiced would cost more than TOR, lol.

Is it DRM free? SAGE_OF_FIRE

Apparently. It's not being sold through Steam or Origin.

Calling it now. 1st DLC - A quest compass for modern gamers and a new bisexual character.

Well it didn't seem like Steam and GOG.com releases were totally out of the question.

This is what i'm cautious about, also considering that there are even more easy tweaks to do to improve the graphics even further. If it doesn't look at least on par with the added tutu mod, than it'll be beyond pathetic.

I don't care what it launches on, as long as it does launch....

Why would they bypass the two leading formats of distribution? Do they know something we don't?

I don't care, i have no desire to play Vanilla BG ever again when i can mod it.
