This date is actually earlier than the dates mentioned before. How often does that happen... In addition there is a new (German) trailer to be found on the web, like on youtube and some fresh new screenshots that you can find in our gallery.... 2010-07-23T21:03:47+01:00 http://www.rpgwatch.com/show/newsbit?rwsiteid=4&newsbit=15296 Alrik writes in to point out Focus Home Interactive will publish Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga (presumably in Europe).  The PR on the website isn't clear if they will also distribute the separate Flames of Vengeance addon or only combined Dragon Knight Saga.... 2010-07-12T23:26:00+01:00 http://www.rpgwatch.com/show/newsbit?rwsiteid=4&newsbit=15283 Gorath points out the upcoming GDC will feature a panel with BioWare's Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk and Obsidian's Feargus Urquhart discussing the production of the classic, Baldur's Gate II: Ten years ago, the highest rated role-playing game of all time launched in Baldur's Gate 2.... 2010-07-09T23:19:23+01:00 http://www.rpgwatch.com/show/newsbit?rwsiteid=4&newsbit=15269 In a new status update, Lar mentiones that besides a release of Flame of Vengance also the release of the Dragon Knight Saga is eminent. The latter release combines a revamped Ego Draconis and Flame of Vengance game in one Release Ego Draconis (remastered heavily) together with Flames Of Vengeance on PC & X360 under the name The Dragon Knight Saga.... 2010-07-08T19:26:38+01:00 http://www.rpgwatch.com/show/newsbit?rwsiteid=4&newsbit=15214 The author of this Planescape: Torment retrospective at RPGFan makes his feelings known right from the beginning, and it will strike a chord with a few readers: They don't make games like this anymore. Bringing video games to a wider audience has its merits, namely making video games a more acceptable form of entertainment, but increased accessibility and multiplayer support has wreaked significantly more havoc than good in recent years.... 2010-06-29T23:18:55+01:00 http://www.rpgwatch.com/show/newsbit?rwsiteid=4&newsbit=15201 In a new status update Swen "Lar" Vincke states that the German version is done (if nothing pops up). In this update he mentions the reason why the German version is released first (again!!). I can hear our non-German fans sigh - why once again the German version first ? The sigh is warranted as we didn't expect it to turn out that way, and actually hoped that we were going to have a simultaneous release, but unfortunately it turned out that way, though I have to say in the same breath that there are some fortunate bits in there too.... 2010-06-27T20:35:22+01:00 http://www.rpgwatch.com/show/newsbit?rwsiteid=4&newsbit=15117 The Larian forums have noticed a video on Youtube showing off some Flames of Vengeance footage.  The video comes from a German TV gaming show and features dtp's Claas Wolter demoing the game; fortunately, there are English subtitles.  The clip was posted recently but I'm not sure how old it is, because Claas mentions an X360 Live release, which we now know is a problem.... 2010-06-15T23:24:43+01:00
