Planescape: Torment

right at the very beginning, this is instantly awesome
also it's great to play a game that has NO LOAD TIME and is still fun

yay

This is probably my favorite game of all time

urg and it just crashed when i got out of the mortuary... hopefully not a replicable bug.

damn this thing crashes a lot

Really? Mine's been fine so far (apart from a recurring crash-on-exit, but that doesn't seem to do any harm).

yeah, i've had four crashes when i go into buildings.

my cd copy used to crash when I tried to enter the mortuary from the front door. easily gotten around, of course :)

WTF

What can change the nature of a sequel?
Post-Planescape: Fargo Reveals The Future Of Torment

...RPS – Where are inXile up to in terms of designing this thing, given you’ve presumably incredibly busy with Wasteland? Will you be working on it concurrently with Wasteland or saving it for later?

Fargo: We’re very early in Torment’s preproduction right now. We have a basic story outline, design sketches of the major characters, and thematic concepts defined. Wasteland 2 is in full production and we don’t want to detract from that focus. But with that said, the writers on Wasteland are complete for the most part and the concept artists are not involved at this stage in the game. The guys working on Torment are no longer working on Wasteland 2 and I want to keep these talented guys busy for us. Typically we do begin design of the next game while the production team is working on the current one. This allows the team to take a nice break once they are complete on the current game and then come back to roll onto a design that is thorough and polished. The last thing we want to do is break up a winning team.

no kickstarter no credibility

read the link, they mention their plans

just bein sarcastic. but yeah, seems the time's right for it.

damn you, kickstarter.

honestly i'm a little burned out on these

no way am i funding another kickstarter from these dudes when they haven't shipped wasteland 2. the give-us-money email very patiently explained the nature of game dev cycles or whatever but fuck yall for real, where's my game and yall want more of my money?

let's see one of these games come out first b4 i chip in cash to a new one - so far is ftl the only kickstarted game to be a real success?

there's a ps4?

not really

Turns out they don't need adam's money now.

oh shit, that was quick

So, if they get enough K$ dosh, can they just buy the damn Planescape name and be done with it?

nah, they already asked Wizards of the Coast for permission and were rejected, i believe

so kickstarter gets kicked back like 5%? is that how it works?
