    I'm sure this has been asked before but a search didn't turn up anything of note. Does anyone know if there will or will not be a ID2 EE?

    Might be wrong, but I remember reading there won't.
    Because the Engine is a completely different one.
    And unlike the earlier IE Games. Not to mention the 3.5 rule set.
    But don't quote me on that. :)

    OH said that it's highly unlikely because of its 3.0 engine implementation. Or in other words, they wanna milk the cow by copy-pasting their crappy 2E engine overhaul and can't be arsed to put any real work into it.

    I think a more realistic outlook is the cost to do it is more than any estimated profit.

    And here I thought they were doing it because they're fans of the games. :rolleyes:

    But honestly, I've seen better work from people doing overhauls as side projects. They're either largely incompetent or they just don't care enough. More than likely both. :p
