I'm a long-time fan of Baldur's Gate. I consider it one, if not thee, greatest games of all time. So, with such high standards that players like I put on the series, it feels like the only direction you can go with it is down (in terms of a remake). I read that former Bioware employees are working on it, but I still have my doubts.
I believe at the very least, the tempo of the game will be disrupted; things will stand out that seem 'out of place' and not feel right. This might not be a problem for new players, but for old (pessmistic) fans, I'm not so sure I'm going to like the changes.
I'm a purist when it comes to these sorts of things. I also don't like the art direction that I see here... Castlekeep does not look like that. The profiles are anime-ish and cheap/kid-friendly looking... Even the skull seems lessened in a sense (I like the gritty texture that the original implied). Meh.
