Nevermind Baldur’s Gate – if there’s one vintage RPG I want to see made over in glossy modern, it’s Planescape: Torment. That’s just me and everybody else, apparently, including the people already busy giving Baldur’s Gate a makeover.
“I’ve been getting a lot of requests for a revisit of [Planescape:] Torment,” Beamdog boss Cameron Tofer told Shacknews. “We would love to have the opportunity to do it.”
Overhaul Games, a division of Beamdog, is working on Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition, recently confirmed for a PC and iOS launch a bit later this year. The games are being remade using a new version of the Infinity Engine, seen in both previous games and the Icewind Dale series, as well as Planescape: Torment.
The studio has previously also expressed interest in doing a third Baldur’s Gate game.
“Baldur’s Gate III has been our long-term goal,” Cameron Tofer told GameSpy. “We have a lot of things to put in place before such a project can be launched. So currently there is no such project but that’s the one we want to do. Our thoughts have been that Enhanced Edition for [Baldur’s Gate] and [Baldur’s Gate II] just make sense before there’s any Baldur’s Gate III.”

Bioware is just a brand name, one that has been seriously abused by both EA and Bioware itself. A lot of the minds that worked on Baldur’s Gate are at Beamdog now.
The notion there “shouldn’t” be a sequel to Baldur’s Gate and that we should just keep on in the vein of Dragon Age II is ridiculous. At least let them try. If it isn’t good, just ignore it.
