Beamdog will remaster Planescape: Torment

Beamdog will remaster Planescape: Torment.

How mad does that make you feel?

Are you psyched for those countless bugs? Will you weep when the SJW's of Beamdog bend the Nameless One over and shoehorn his asshole full of diversity via shitty writing?

Looks pretty based. I can't wait.

What can change the nature of a game?

Planetscape: Tournament 2 when?

If it's good and improves on the game I'll buy it. If it is a cheap, shitty political statement with stuff shoe-horned in I will not buy it.

I suspect, but hope to be proved wrong, that it will be the second, the quality of writing will have to be on par with the majority of it. As will any characters they include, if it is the young girl with attitude, the older man that's seen too much and the lolrandom other I will drop it like an aborted baby.

Remake, not regret.

What can change the gender of a man?

They're not changing the writing at all, we've gone over this already.

I just did background check, and the domain is registered by WotC and NOT Beamdog.

Could be a 5E release of the Planescape setting for the PnP.

its all over beamdogs twitter, but we'll see

>Being this naive

hours or days on the clock

What can change the gender of a them?

19 hours

holy sheeeeit

O-Oh.
Guess it's Beamdog then.
Anyhow I really don't see why Sup Forumsermin are so butthourt about BGEE considering they're objectively superior versions of the originals.
New companions are purely optional and you can even mod them out if just killing them is not enough for you.
The only bad thing is their fanfiction expansion that is Siege of Dragonspear, but the EE releases themselves are great.

Of course now some retard will post a ridiculously outdated screenshot of some bug or blatantly doctored screenshot with all the optional shitty filters turned on to make the EE seem bad.

Name 1 change beamdog did to baldur's gate
Their shitty expansion doesn't count.

>Name one thing they did
>The whole shit they added does not count

Then why make a remake?

Nostalgia bucks.

Good job having no arguments and moving the goalposts.

EE is nothing but great convienience updates, bugfixes and engine fixes for bugs that were literally unfixable in originals even with mods because they were engine-level bugs.
Sure initial release of EE was buggy as shit, mostly due to Atari rushing it out, but they patched it eventually when it reached 1.3 version (or 1.4 in case of IWD).
And after the second engine update (2.0) with SoD, they again fucked up on release and have since fixed all bugs and issues with the 2.3 patch again.

So riddle me this, what the fuck is your problem that you'd rather play the original inferior version rather than pirating EE instead? All the important mods are compatible, the EE companions themselves are purely optional (and killable of course) and you can even mod them out if you want.

I could never go back to originals after EE's improvements.

Exactly, it's a cash grab.

Okay.

>The Price
This will be a fully priced game again, that beg the question why? The vast majority of the work is already done, what they add will surmount to DLC in terms of size.

>Voice work
If they do add this, why? Nobody listens to it beyond the first few seconds, they tune it out to read at a pace faster than the game is able to read to them.

>Added features and extras
Are without fail garbage, few people care about the Black Pits, which offered nothing beyond static combat, Dragonspear was dull, boring predictable and contrite.

>Mods
Mods are not the subject of the game, those are the work of dedicated fans and should not be passed off as a means to sell anothers product. You can not argue for the purchasing of a game (Outside of ones made for the soul purpose of pursuing that market)

>Graphics
It was a novel in video game form, set within a grimy, dirty world, the archaic graphics add to that theme and setting. It felt and looked dirty, grubby and miserable. When the remake comes out with clean, pleasant graphics part of the appeal will be lost.

>Writing
The current crop of writing talent that spat out BGEE and it's extra dialogue and characters was garbage. In no way can this be a selling point.

As said I want this game to be good, to be enhanced in all the ways it can be, to go back to Sigil and explore more of it in the same manner I did years ago. But I do believe this will happen. As said above, this is a cash grab.

>This will be a fully priced game again, that beg the question why? The vast majority of the work is already done, what they add will surmount to DLC in terms of size.

Show me where I told you to buy this lol, cause I sure as hell ain't buying anything Beamdog, but they're still very much worth a pirate.
Also objectively speaking, the reason it's priced higher is obviously to recoup the costs of buying the license as well as making profit in this day and age, simple as that and I'm sure you already knew that.

>If they do add this, why? Nobody listens to it beyond the first few seconds, they tune it out to read at a pace faster than the game is able to read to them.
EEs of BG1/2/IWD never had extra voicework beyond the new companions which have about same amount of voiced lines as original companions, aka very little.

>Are without fail garbage, few people care about the Black Pits, which offered nothing beyond static combat, Dragonspear was dull, boring predictable and contrite.
Please get cancer and die if you think the improved map, journal, interface, zooming in and out, a proper rescaling algorithm instead of a shitty Nearest Neighbour (which is what you get with modded original), clear and descritive character sheets without having to scroll gorillion times, improved AI scripts that aren't inbred retards that swap weapons at will and ignore the weapons you gave them originally and the list goes on.

>Mods are not the subject of the game, those are the work of dedicated fans and should not be passed off as a means to sell anothers product. You can not argue for the purchasing of a game (Outside of ones made for the soul purpose of pursuing that market)
The point was that the EEs are just as moddable as the originals, more so in fact since they gave modders access to more things.

Will cont.

>I could never go back to originals after EE's improvements.

"Improvements." I went right back to playing the originals after playing EE for a few weeks. It adds nothing of value, but it sure adds plenty of annoying quirks.

>It was a novel in video game form, set within a grimy, dirty world, the archaic graphics add to that theme and setting. It felt and looked dirty, grubby and miserable. When the remake comes out with clean, pleasant graphics part of the appeal will be lost.

The EEs aren't remakes you fucking retard, they're enhanced ports. They don't touch the original graphics beyond a new rescaling algorithm (Catmull-Rom Bicubic instead of original's Nearest Neighbour) with option to also use their new character outlines (which force filtering into Blinear too) which mind you I agree are trash, as well as Nearest Neighbour if you are an autistic purist that doesn't like the objectively superior Catmull-Rom Bicubic rescaler.

>The current crop of writing talent that spat out BGEE and it's extra dialogue and characters was garbage. In no way can this be a selling point.
And they didn't alter a single bit of writing or dialogue in EEs for BG1, 2 or IWD, again you're so full of shit it hurts. New content was optional (companions, Black Pits) and as such is irrelevant.

Also of course it's a fucking cash grab, that's what enhanced ports/remasters are.

Actual remakes are less of a cash grab (see REmake or the 3DS releases of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask) and require effort, but this isn't a remake, it's a fucking enhanced port which you should just pirate for engine improvements alone and probably ignore whatever new companions (if any) that they add.

So you're an autistic shitfuck that completely dodges the argument and doesn't list said "quirks", gg no re please kill yourself.

I didn't dodge anything. If you were literate, you'd know what quirks I'm referring to. If you lack the intelligence to figure it out, then you're not worth spelling it out to.

>again not listing anything and responding with empty ad hominem
We both know you're full of shit and never tried EE to begin with and just parrot shit you heard on Sup Forums like the thoughtless hivemind drone you are.

Who is BEAMDOG

I'm playing through it right now and the original is fine so I don't care if beamdog is remaking it honestly. Just play the original if the new one sucks.
