Torment Torment: Tides of Numenera Pre-Release Thread [ALPHA RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[MrMarbles]

Ziets you are the master of the pensive pose. Teach me all you know.

 

[prodigydancer]

Really

I blame inXile. :D They released one video and now they keep us in the dark again. Interviews are nice but who wouldn't like to see more gameplay?

Re-watching that first glimpse video, the environmental map textures are decidedly blurry at 1080p. I hope that isn't going to be carried through to the final version ksaun CMcC

I expect that isn't going to be carried through to the final version

I want my alpha

This is going to be delayed until 2016.

 

[SniperHF]

I want my alpha

My understanding is the Alpha isn't going to be particularly interesting anyway. It's going to be hyper focused on specific things and not very long for each test. I'll gladly check them out and give feedback but the beta is where it will be at.

For sure, bro. But I still want to touch it asap to have some "tactile sensations" of the game.

The game itself will be delayed most likely, but the alpha?

 

[Sensuki]

CMcC just stated in a recent interview that the game will definitely be out in 2015. However from experience, once the game hits Backer Alpha/Beta ... that may change - based on most other KS's.

Perhaps the Codex should strike a bet with him? More bottles of wine for DU

Crooked Bee

 

[Infinitron]

That wasn't a direct quote. I'd be interested in knowing what he really said.

 

[Sensuki]

True dat.

 

[Zed]

What? Are they really going for EA with this game? Isn't that like EA'ing an adventure game?

I can understand a gameplay alpha like PoE, but EA sounds crazy.

Oops. I must be crazy tired. Thought I read someone mention EA. Alpha and such makes sense.

 

[Roguey]

It'll be out this year, sure, but Wasteland 2 was five months of "beta" and another four months of beta and it still wasn't finished on release.

 

[General Maxson]

This seems like it will be a lot more interesting than W2. And it seems they have learned from making W2 too. Maybe we'll get new Black Isle from inXile finally. Or Troika.

I said: "Definitely-- that's in air quotes. You know how development goes."

(I am not good at interviews)

T:ToN GOTY 2016

I'm ready to wait for the final release as much as needed

Spoiler

But I want my alpha ASAP

Well if Harebrained Schemes' progression is a real indicator I don't see why not.

 

[hiver]

I actually suggested they already delay release, move it to 2016 or when its done. Saves us all the bother, really.

 

[Blackguard]

Well if they are planning on releasing this year the alpha should start relatively soon. Definitely before the summer at least.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

I never anticipated a final release date of this year. We all know how this works guys.

End 2015? Translation: Summer 2016.

That was an interesting read. I'm glad that they are going for this style when it comes to crises, locks, traps, etc. They can hopefully be really creative with this game. Creatures in the game also have the potential to be really cool.

 

[hiver]

The article starts with past information about the setting that is no longer the same. Angel of entropy and CG not knowing about castoffs etc. Couldnt even google the last few updates.

When the player comes across a lock, it won't be just a lock you can pick, but maybe a riddle you must solve using clues gained through Lore: Civilizations, Visual Perception, or even items you've picked up in your travels. Numenera's play style encourages us to create unique, scripted interactions like this, instead of dropping locks and traps everywhere that differ only in their difficulty level.

thats better.



-
Nice interview.

 

[darthaegis]

Wait, is Patrick Rothfuss writing for this game?
