Army_Of_Hardcore Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 I had heard on another forum, the idea that BG3 may have been turned over to Obsidian, if so any news, if not is BG3 truly dead? That would be something my poor little heart couldn't take

That would be something my poor little heart couldn't take <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dead, or atleast to my knowledge.

EnderAndrew Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 I've seen some quotes to suggest Obisidian ended up with the Icewind Dale license. However, their current two projects are NWN2, and an unannounced project that isn't a sequel. They are not currently doing BG3. 3D Realms is working on Baldur's Gate 3 however. It will be finished sometime after Duke Nukem Forever.

metadigital Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 Yes, it's on the new Sega console. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Darth_Schmarth Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 Yes, it's on the new Sega console. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Damn... I thought it had some real potential. Would've bought a PS3 just for that game. ^Asinus asinorum in saecula saeculorum
metadigital Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 new Sega console you intregue my senses <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually it's a JV with Sega and Neo Geo, and its called the Neo Sega Geo ][ OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
EnderAndrew Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 new Sega console you intregue my senses <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He was sarcastic. Pac Man Dreams, Duke Nukem Forever, the Phantom Console, et al, are all vaporware.
Baley Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 You'll realise how wrong you are when you're gonna be playing the Pac Man Dreams mod for Duke Nukem Forever on the Phantom Console "
edu11 Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 ok, mr locksmith steps in, i'd like to say that it since the BG story is finished, there is absolutely no reason to mess it up. So there will probably never be a BG 3.
Plano Skywalker Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 ok, mr locksmith steps in, i'd like to say that it since the BG story is finished, there is absolutely no reason to mess it up. So there will probably never be a BG 3. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because the storyline is "complete" as you say, it would probably be best to use a subtitle instead of calling it BG3. For instance, the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance games are their own story.

EnderAndrew Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 It was a joke. I don't think anyone has any idea if and when a new Baldur's Gate game will come out at this point in time. Atari seems set on pushing Ebberon right now.
DemonKing Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 I've heard rumours that Irrational Games (who developed the Freedom Force Superhero CRPGs) are working on BG3 in their Australian studio. Might make some sense given that Irrational and Bioware seem to have some sort of relationship - you can order Irrational Games from the Bio on-line store now.
EnderAndrew Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 An Atari employee told us all several times last year BG3 was well into development and that we'd get an announcement on it soon. I have trouble figuring out who would be working on it. Irrational Games is working on Bioshock currently, and I don't know if they have enough staff to be working on BG3.
Musopticon? Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 No way. Irrational would have too big boots to fill when taking BG3. Bioshock and their other, yet unannounced, project comes first. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
EnderAndrew Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 I didn't know they also had another unannounced project. Any ideas what it might be?
Musopticon? Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Not sure. Might have something to do with Tribes. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today.

Baley Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Interview with Vivendi.... On future Tribes games: very difficult to imagine and no one should expect it - but stranger things have happened. It was expressed that the current regime at VUG was very unlikely to greenlight another Tribes game. So,prolly not....
Musopticon? Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 I was wrong then. Thanks Baley. I seriously hope that they just concentrate to make Bioshock as good as possible. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Baley Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Well I'll be pleased if they make it half as fun as System Shock 2...
Volourn Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 "An Atari employee told us all several times last year BG3 was well into development" Nope. This didn't happen. He did say there'd be news, and there was, and then the news stopped. As for who would develop BG3. No one knows. At this point, I doubt Atari even does. I have my suspicions that Atari wants Bioware to do it; but haven't been able to convince them to do so, and that's why things have been quiet on that front... DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Baley Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Dosent really matter..It won't be BG3... It would prolly be something like FR:a Baldur's Gate Adventure... The Bhaalspawn saga is complete... Long live NWN2!
Volourn Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 No. It isn't completed. there's lots more that can be done. Lots. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
