Another Baldur's Gate coming, at some point

(1/12) > >>

KvP:
So says Phil Harrison, late of Sony, now head of the (apparently not quite as doomed as we thought) Atari.

Bioware seems unlikely to pick it up now that they're focusing on original IP. Shouts and murmurs from around the internets RPG community point to two possibles in particular - Obsidian Ent. (who made NWN2) tackling it, probably beginning production sometime after Alpha Protocol ships, or CDProjekt, the Eastern European developer who made The Witcher. I would be quite pleased with the former, not interested in the latter at all. Some people seem quite sure that CDProjekt has been approached, but the Obs staffers I am acquainted with are being pretty coy.

Spluff:
Eh. CDProjekt might do an okay job of it, but it won't be anywhere near the other two. Obsidian would mangle it.

PizzaSHARK:
Baldur's Gate without Black Isle (god bless em) in on it wouldn't be Baldur's Gate.  Can anyone else create the genius that is Minsc and Boo?  I think not.

Spluff:
Pssst, Baldur's Gate was made by Bioware.

PizzaSHARK:
Most of the folks were from Black Isle Studios.  BioWare just made the Infinity Engine that powered it.  Both are great companies (or were, in BIS' case), but the genius behind the Infinity Engine and Fallout games was BIS.
