3d perspective would personally ruin the game, period. I can happily play baldur’s gate 2 and be satisfied even in the year 2012. Hopefully Baldur’s gate 3 will just be a high definition adaption of the first two games and nothing more.

It was going to be, but then it was canceled, Interplay folded, and Bethesda bought the rights to the franchise.

BG I & II are legendary games!
Many attempts have been made to outshine them; neverwinter I & II, Dragon Age, etc. But none have even come CLOSE to the epicness of BG-series.

When will the developers and publishers grasp that we want classical DND, with 2D isometric view (not soulless 3d crap), a deep story with many sideplots, and gameplay that is actually hard.
I want to be rewarded for tactical and strategical victories, not buttonsmashing!

If BG III ends up as being yet another 3D, 4th edition buttonsmasher markedet to 12 y olds with ADD, I want no part of it.

Please, please, please don’t make some cheesy 3D-perspective “Mass Effect” style bullsh*t.

Top-down, genuine D&D only please!

The notion that D&D gamers giver a crap about 3D has got to go.

I *still* play BG2, and there’s never been a single moment when I wished for 3D.

It’s an enhanced version…not a 3rd addition to the game.

HD 2D isometric view
Awesome story
Lots of spells/classes/kits
Actual hard gameplay

One can only hope…

It’s most likely a HD rerelease of the original games and not the scrapped third game. Baldur’s Gate 3 was slated to use a newer 3D engine as opposed to the Infinity Engine. The html for the page stating “Raise Dead: Infinity Engine.” and “It returns, better than before.” all serve to indicate the probability that it is a revamped engine to run in higher def.

If its from a 3d perspective I want no part of it.

What?!!!!! OMG I really really hope this comes out. Baldurs Gate was some of the most fun gaming ever. In fact I only found out about Diablo after playing Baldurs Gate and still consider it a pale comparison, but it did tide the time over.

“This entry in the series was originally slated to
be developed and released in 2002, but was cancelled in 2003 when the 3D
Engine developed specifically for the game was used for Black Isle
Studios Van Buren, also known as Fallout 3.”

The Van Buren Project is NOT Fallout 3.

Sequel to my two favorite games of all time? Hell yeah.

If it’s just a port to iOS…I’m not really interested. There’s already an engine out there for running it on cell phones.

Now if it’s a sequel — even a handheld-only one — I am definitely interested.

Great news! Had been craving for a good AD&D game for some time. Neverwinter Nights were cool but really lacked soul. Hopefully BG3 would be able to revive the Forgotten Realms
