oh man this would be awesome. This game came out before I got into RPGs so I never got a chance to play it.

That would be awesome if it's true. I still have my original 1999 copy that i cherish right next to me, wouldn't hesitate to buy a second copy.

I could see Interplay doing this. Like they did with the recent Fallout Trilogy, optimize it for Vista and XP hoping to make a few bucks.

Will it have updated graphics? When I read the title, I was thinking something like the Escape from Monkey Island revival.

Please keep this thread updated. I bookmarked this page. I really hope this happens because my disks went missing when we moved... and I really want to play this again.

Hopefully it will have an American release.

I have the original in any event, and it works perfectly fine on Vista.

If it is re-relaesed it should include the hack that allows it to play at modern resolutions.

my bet is that they have the rights and that is why they didnt put it on GOG.

Why put a game on there for five bucks when, with a few neat tweaks, you can release it en masse for 15+ dollars in a "new, fancy, XP and Vista/7" compatable package?

I think it was a marketing move.

Even with that move, I definately hope this happens.

I have not played this game, but I heard so much about it. If it is released with support for higher resolutions, I might just pick this up.

There's already mods that let you play BG1/2, Icewind Dale1/2 and PS:T in full widescreen resolutions.

If they do rerelease it, they should do some patching first. It's one of the best rpg's ever but at this point in time it's also quite dated and buggy.

Unofficial planescape fix pack takes care of alot of bugs. And you can play at modern resolutions with a patch,makes it look alot better playing at 1920x1080.

Well, all the fallouts are available via digital means... And I distinctly remember an article about this very issue and the reason was interplays lack of rights to re-release planescape. That doesn't mean said article was true, but it seems likely...All the Descents are also at gog as well... They could no longer re-release the Icewind Dale's either im sure, as Atari has the rights. (and did re-release it at one time)

Since I played it on gametap, I would have to disagree. Of course, it's a subscriber only game....
