Coincidence?

 

apparently the Infinity Engine just went open-source?

whoah... this is real? toooooo bad i don't know squat about making video games! cause i'd totally want to make an infinity engine game!

 

Pick up some documentation try and start! The sky is the limit! (Though I've heard that GemRB may not be in the best shape yet.)

Baldur's Gate 2 is showing up on Steam's registry. It's been there for a month, so don't get too excited thinking it'll be available today. But something's up in general.

The page got a small cosmetic update in the form of an Aloundo quote and the text in the page source was updated, too:

 

<!-- February 28, 2012 -->
<!-- Shadowy Figure- Raise Dead : Infinity Engine -->
<!-- For years, I clung to the memory of it. Then the memory of the memory. -->
<!-- And then... it returned. Better than it was before. -->

 

GameBanshee reports that Trent Oster/Beamdog are behind it.

i'm hoping it's either a spiffed up re-release with new UI and animations and graphics etc

 

or better

 

a new infinity engine game made with love and care by someone who "gets it"

Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

playing this on a touchscreen would be torturous... pass

i have an iphone and it's annoying enough to use the touchscreen for something as simple as angry birds. i can't imagine managing party formations and dealing with inventory.

 

maybe it would be better on an ipad?

Didn't cross my mind to even try it on the iphone. :p

Considering that an ios remake represents probably the only possible way for the genre to make a return, it would be wonderful news.

I'm kinda skeptical that an iOS port/remake is what this is about, considering you can already get that, for free. I've been known to be wrong, though.
