Title: Torment: Tides of Numenera
Post by: Mr. Vega on March 06, 2013, 07:55:06 pm
My first thought looking at their Kickstarter Page (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/torment-tides-of-numenera) was "HOLY ****! 1.3 Million already? They could hit ten million by the time fundraising ends! What makes these guys so much more special than Project Eternity or Double Fine?"

My second thought: "I understand there's more than enough talent on hand to make two killer games, but why couldn't these guys and Chris Avellone have just gotten together and made Planescape: Eternity?"

Basically we now have two different games that are spiritual successors to Planescape: Torment, made by two different teams, both of which are staffed by the original creators of Torment. It is awesome. But also a little weird.

I was personally never a fan of the Planescape setting, but the more good RPG's, the better.

The future is bright all the sudden. Next to all the other games that have been successfully crowd funded and indie titles getting sequels or new IPs. Absolutely terrific news. 1.7 mil as I speak, too. I feel happy for all of them that they finally have the opportunity to produce the kind of game they want to make.

From what I understand in the video, the setting for Torment is different.

Never played Planescape, but might get on in the funding for this. Seems cool and DRM-free games are good.
Still got a huge pile of games to play, not to mention Shadowrun & waiting for some . . . space combat sim to come out via KS.
