Torment: Tides of Numenera

Any other Planescape: Torment fans thrilled for this upcoming 'spiritual successor?'

I'm loving the plans they have for it. I pledged when the Kickstarter campaign was up. Now we have to wait...

Pledged quite a lot of money towards it!

I am happy to see a return of quality, thought provoking, novel like games to PC. Whilst I enjoy the interactive movies that RPG gaming has become as much as anybody, this should be much, much better.

Very excited Also very impressed with the amount of money they managed to raise. Quite a few P:T fans want more it seems

I think it's also that people want a return to form for some games. I've certainly grown tired of most shooters and 3rd person cover-based action games and found myself playing old school games.

I didn't play Torment until well after it came out and enjoyed it. I hope there are more "spiritual successors" to games I liked growing up (just recently got my Jazz Jackrabbit shirt)

I'm mostly excited because I miss games with stories. Now, everything is entirely action focused. P:T had possibly the best storyline of any game in PC gaming history. The scope, depth and emotion of the story are simply unmatched. Baldur's Gate 2 came close, but P:T laid off on the combat to focus almost every aspect on the story. It was more important to upgrade WIS, CHA and INT than STR, DEX and CON. The emphasis was entirely on experiencing the story.

The Bioshock series has story for days, and a rather bleak yet heart-wrenching one at that.

As a fan of both series, I have to say Bioshock simply can not hold a candle to the depth of story achieved in Torment.

Not even one of those stupid candle/lighter apps on your smartphone to wave around like a new age hippy at a concert.

Just got the Australian magazine PC Powerplay, which has a feature on Torment: ToN. Liked the look of it so much that I went and bought the original Planescape (don't know how I missed this back in the day). Played a bit last night and the story definitely sucks you in, can't wait for the successor.

Bump!

I'm sure pledgers have seen this already, but we finally have gameplay footage!



Looks amazing.
