Beamdog emailed me about this :

Features:

Enhanced Planescape: Chris Avellone, Lead Designer on Planescape Torment, has partnered with Beamdog to curate gameplay updates, bug fixes, and enhancements to best capture the original vision for the game.
The Planes Await: Planescape is a setting you've never experienced before, filled with strange magics, unique adversaries, and Dungeons & Dragons locations from across the multiverse.
Conversations to Remember: Encounter personable items, philosophic undead, and rat hiveminds while walking the planes with the strangest collection of allies ever seen in an RPG.
Pick Your Path: Character creation is just the beginning. The Nameless One can change his class, alignment, and even gain new abilities based on your choices.
Remastered Music: The full Planescape: Torment soundtrack has been remastered in-game to add more depth to Sigil and the multiverse.
4K Interface: Sigil has never looked this good! The interface of Planescape: Torment has been rebuilt in high-definition with tons of new convenience features.
A Planescape For Today: The Enhanced Edition includes modern features such as tab highlighting, area zooming, combat log, quickloot, and more!
Play It Your Way: Enable Enhanced Edition features as you desire or turn them off to experience Planescape: Torment in its original glory.
Cast Comprehend Languages: Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition is available in English, French, Polish, German, and Korean. Note: Korean translations are text only. Korean voice-overs are played in English.

I insta purchased Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 and Icewind Dale when they came out, but I am a little unsure about this. The original version and the GOG release could be modded to bring in a lot of the changes above AFAIK.

Any hunger for this? April 11th release date.

I tried replaying it recently while waiting for Tides of Numenera to come out. Even with the mods I couldn't get the UI and resolution to look how I wanted.
So having the technical side of it updated for todays resolutions is a good thing. Ill get it at some point for sure. (Feel rather let down by Tides of Numenera)

I love PST, and I did manage to get it modded to 21:9 etc and played it through again recently.

I kickstarted ToN and I haven't got around to playing it yet because I am heavily involved in Divinity Original Sin, but I do keep on hearing disappointment associated with it. I will at some point I am sure, but the more I hear about it, the more it continues to drop a peg or two down in my backlog.
