Wheeee!
We'll see. If it's too frustrating or tedious to play on an iPad it could have the reverse effect.

It's possible to play torment, BG etc on ipad using GemRB and people seems to be enjoying that. It's quite nice to play time consuming games on the ipad, you can easily switch from sitting at a desk to the bed or a sofa, quite comfortable. I use my ipad far more often than i thought i would, it has completely replaced my laptop (which feels incredible outdated now). It has replaced books too, for the most part..
Bioware still owns the copyright on the games, the art assets and holds the trademarks
The levels in the IE were actually developed in 3d, then rendered into 2d bitmaps from 3ds Max. As such it's (if you have the original 3d builds available) far easier to do a HD remake- you might even be able to just render straight to a higher bitmap resolution without any significant alteration at all except rescaling and updating UI elements.Gokyabgu said:BG uses pre-rendered backgrounds, I don't think they will change old ones with the new, high resolution backgrounds.
Hey now that the whole D&D lawsuit has been settled, why not go back and make another game based on the universe
Bioware does not own either the copyright or the trademarks- buy one of the BGs and it specifically lists the copyright holders as Hasbro/ WOTC and Atari and Hasbro as trademark holders, confirmed by TESS. The only thing Bioware definitely has any hold over is the IE itself.
