Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition OS X Plans & Cross-Platform Gaming

[Mar 30, 2012, 10:49 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition Website announces Overhaul Games' upcoming Baldur’s Gate overhauls will be coming to OS X this summer (thanks The Patches Scrolls). They say the Mac version will "include a variety of Mac OS X specific features, including widescreen and iCloud support." No, we didn't know widescreen support was an OS X specific feature either. Technically a PC edition of the game has not been announced, but it is mentioned in this tweet from Trent Oster revealing they plan to support cross-platform multiplayer play:

Yes, it will be compatible multi-player cross-platform. We had a Mac, iPad and PC joined into a game together.

Where are the promised screenshots? A few out of focus shots of it on an iPad don't qualify. The only reason a person would be a fan of Baldur's Gate is if they played it on the PC (only platform that's ever supported it), so it stands to reason that this is the core group that will be the most excited to hear about an HD treatment. Yet all we have to look at is multiplatform support and some iPad screenshots that don't show anything at all. This seems more like an effort to compile all the good mods and make the game run on iOS devices rather than make it better than it ever was on the PC. I'll continue to grow more skeptical until I see some screens.
