Trent Oster has been a man possessed since the announcement of Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition. The president of publisher Beamdog has been on Twitter tirelessly answering questions from fans while giving out little unannounced tidbits here and there to the swarming masses.
When Beamdog announced Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition for PC, they promised to reveal the other platforms soon after. First they announced support for the iPad, and today they are announcing support for Mac OS X.
Faerun faithful are thrilled that Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition is reinvigorating their beloved RPG franchise. But anything beyond parts one and two (both due this year) will depend on how well the developer Beamdog does with the current project. That could include another popular Infinity Engine RPG.
Apple users who are fans of the original Baldur's Gate series can rejoice: The Enhanced Edition is coming to iPad this summer.
The upgraded version of the classic RPG originally created by BioWare will be coming to the Apple App Store roughly the same time that the PC version will be available. The new game will be using an enhanced version of the Infinity Engine.
Some gamers were disappointed that last week's Baldur's Gate announcement was not a third installment of the fantasy RPG series, but instead an enhanced version of the original games. But that doesn't mean that the developers haven't already thought about it.
Update 2: 1:29 p.m. with comment there will be two games.
Update: 12:40 p.m. with Beamdog rep comment.
All my fantasizing about a return to the Sword Coast has been rewarded. Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition is coming and Faerun will be alive again this summer.
First announced back in June of 2010, MDK2 HD, the high-definition remake of MDK2 for PC will finally see the light of day sometime in September. Developer Beamdog brought a revamped version of MDK2 to WiiWare back in May. Non-HD versions of both MDK and MDK2 have been available for a while from various digital distributors, but the September-due PC iteration is poised to be the graphical king of the revamped crop.
"Will they have proper monitor support for people with multiple monitors?"
