Baldurs Gate (III) Overhaul VS Planescape Torment to be made first?

So I was browsing through some of the pages and I read that there was going to be an overhaul of Baldurs Gate ( Baldurs Gate III). It seems that they are also doing a Torment Overhaul. Which one would you like to see first? Link to Torment Overhaul http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Overhaul-Games-Want-Do-PlaneScape-Torment-HD-Remake-40797.html

Overhaul Games has also showed interest in making an Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition, as well as doing a Baldur's Gate 3 and Torment 2 after they finish with their overhauls.

I'd say Baldur's Gate because Planescape Torment still looks good with a resolution mod. Baldur's Gate not so much.

[QUOTE="Garod_T"]I still think that Planescape lends itself more for an overhaul because of the elements it contains. The party characters where honestly better in Torment than they were in BG and the theme lends itself really nicely for a follow up as a mature title. Story wise I still think Torment is the best game ever made by far hands down and by a longshot. If they do use kickstart I am 100% sure to donate to that one. Just wish I had the big amounts to spend to get the nice perks :) but a 25 or 50 won't break the bank. .Sentinel112

In regards to Dead Esther, it's not the gameplay that makes that game(if you can even call it so) great. It's the atmosphere. Which is why they're making the next Amnesia.

Care to explain why you think Torment has the best story ever? I'd like to hear your reasoning. Keep in mind I am probably the guy who is the least impressed with practically anything. I am over critical. But that is the price I pay (among many other things) being highly gifted. I know one thing: gameplay wise PST was a big fat ZERO. It seems some people do not know what constitutes a good game in the first place. A glaring example is Dear Esther. I hear people claiming it is such a wonderful game while I am scratching my head; wondering; where exactly is the gameplay in all of this? Sentinel112

It would take several pages for anyone to explain, in depth, why Planescape Torment has the greatest story ever told. You might as well just play it, and judge for your self.

Humble? Check, not.

Nope, ur post is a big fat ZERO.

And yes, another miss. Dear Esther was never about the gameplay. If ur so "highly gifted" you would have realized that.

From what I understand, thechineseroom is doing the developing and Frictional is just overseeing the project.

ME on my high horse?

Oh the irony...

I played it.Sentinel112

Ah, i was left with the impression that you didn't.

For some reason Torment has always retained my interest, I'm actually playing it again just right now and it's just great like the other umpteen times I've played it.Garod_T

It has remained so fresh. Its unique settings, its beautiful self-discovery plot intertwinted with the gameplay (the choices really matter to unfold the story), that makes it such a personal experience. The interactions that move the story foward had so much moral complexity, the Nameless One had such a aura of mistery that kept me going foward.

It's such a damn shame that Black Isle didn't incorporate a turn-based combat system, and at that, Temple of Elemental Evil's combat system. It would have easily ben my favorite game of all times. But it's mediocre pause system which i've always hated keeps it down on the list for me.

[QUOTE="Garod_T"]I guess one other thing to say is, if you compare it to modern games, there are no fetch quests, no filler content. But you are right, I guess the best thing about Torment was the interaction between the companions. p.s. I'm still waiting on a reply Sentinel? Would be a shame to make such a comment and then not follow up yourself with an explanation after "demanding" a reason from me.FelipeInside

Did that guy actually wrote "i'm highly gifted"? Brilliant, just brilliant! You sir, amuse me. Funny that you prefer Mein Kampf to Planescape Torment, but i digress...i love PST as it is, so i'd rather see a BG overhaul.

edit:BTW I'm reading the Warhammer 40k: Horus Heresy series now, you should check it out. Maybe not as kewl as "a treatise on electricity and magnetism", but still pretty bad ass, and enlightening.

Torment, I really want that game brought up to modern standards without getting a bunch of mods so I can start handing copies of it out to friends.
