Baldur's Gate: EE Out on PC, But Delayed on Other Platforms
Rejoice! Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition is out... but only for PC.
Th
ose looking forward to playing Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition on their tablets will be forced to wait just a bit longer.
Beamdog's Baldur's Gate redux, though due to launch simultaneously on PC, Mac, iOS, and Android platforms on November 28th, ended up only releasing on PC.
According to Beamdog founder Trent Oster, via his Twitter: "iOS build had a game-stopper bug. With current estimate for App Store approval, that puts us into next week. We're doing all we can. Our current crash is cross-platform, so the fixes are for all platforms. Legacy code bites again."
In regards to the Baldur's Gate Android build: "We'll get Android done before Christmas. The list of supported devices might be very Nvidia skewed though."
Unfortunately, the Mac OS X build approval process is taking even longer than iOS. As a result, Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition only managed to make it onto PC. Still, a Mac, iOS, and Android release within the next month seems to be something quite probable.
might play the pc version tho in the meantime
PC FTW again.
OK!
Publishers can be jerks when they got such a good game for sale. Thats when you know a game is good, hen customers dont mind spending money on the same product again and again.
Not me, big fan of solid software releases myself, even if they are late.
Great artwork, great design.
If they ever make another baldurs gate (a true sequel, not necessarily a remake) hopefully it'll stick to the original formula that made it great. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Look at how many things weren't broke in Diablo 2, which Blizzard decided to completely change for Diablo 3. A perfect example of what NOT to do.
They then spent millions in marketing videos and such to explain to everyone how the old system (already a massive commercial and critical success, for over a decade) was somehow "wrong" and their new approach would be "so much better".
This Christmas, an afternoon has been set aside to fire up some Diablo 2 co-op. Diablo 3 is not even up for consideration.
yay, now show us a developer who didn't have a multi billion $ success and how they improve games.
the less money devs have, the more they focus on making one market happy and not taking a shotgun and trying to hit everything.
Just have to wait for Project Eternity: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/obsidian/project-eternity
and than wait another year and hope it gets patched to the point its playable?
seriously, i couldn't fund that even though i wanted to based off obsidians prior track record.
