Game News Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition Delayed

Tags: Baldur's Gate; Beamdog

Overhaul Game's take on updating Baldur's Gate seems to have run into some problems:

After recently reviewing the game and then consulting with our partners, we've decided to ensure that Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition is the best possible product on launch. Thus, we have pushed back the release date of the game. Our release date is now November 30th, 2012.

To all who have pre-ordered, we ask for your patience as we move toward our final release date -- and we will be working on something a little extra for you. To all who have volunteered, we thank you for your dedication and support.​

The initial date set for sometime in summer 2012 did seem a little optimistic.

They're delaying a sleazy re-release of an old game that works perfectly well on modern systems? Good.

I'm not a malicious kind of guy but this can't fail hard enough for me.

 

[jagged-jimmy]

Fuck those losers.

 

[MicoSelva]

Sorry, mr. Oster, nobody cares anymore.

What a shame. It was a good cash-in. What a rotten way to get delayed.

Translation: they're finding it hard to rip off enough mods and apply enough blur filters before the release date.

[FeelTheRads]

Actually black won. HURR DURR.

 

[Cynic]

Game is 10 years old, already been released multiple times, gets delayed. How the fuck.

 

[SCO]

Yes yes... delay it until *after* Wasteland 2 comes out.

 

[l3loodAngel]

Our release date is now November 30th, 2012.

Right after the Obsidian kickstarter, what a coincidence...

 

[yes plz]

How the fuck do you just realize your project needs 2.5 months of more work like a week before its supposed to be released?

Because you realize the real deal just turned up to the party

I have often heard the phrase "rat bastards" before but rarely has it been so apt.
