PS:T is a miracle that only happens once in your lifetime.

Are those seriously weapons from god of war?

 

[Surf Solar]

Haha, that's a good one.

 

[Erebus]

Don't you guys know that the Blood War has ended ? Asmodeus ate the soul of a lesser god of magic and it gave him the power to teleport the Abyss so far away that the Tanar'ri couldn't find their way back.

shut up nerd

Just trying to think of how they'd do this. I guess a prequel would be easy enough, but otherwise it obviously would have to do with escaping the Blood War except that that ending seems to show TNO pretty resolute with serving out his fate seeing as how trying to cheat fate landed him into his current mess. Maybe take place in and around the Blood War or maybe TNO is sent as an agent into the other planes? In any case, don't fucking do it Obsidian!

Well, they could always do it like this.

I guess from this thread the Blood war is still going on between Obsidian bashers regular bashers and Anti-Obsidian bashers.

 

[Johannes]

Just make a good game, whatever setting.

Mus' it necessarily be a sequel? Mask of the Betrayer filled those shoes up pretty well, so maybe it's not the story that needs to be reused. It also managed to make a fantastic setting out of a Forgotten Realms game, so maybe the Planescape setting isn't what's essential either.

So do we really need a sequel? Both MotB and PS:T focused on the same theme in their storyline, namely torment and redemption. But there's a lot of other things you can use to make a good story. My personal favorite is the Exodus theme used in Homeworld, but you can take even the archaic Good and Evil theme and make something truly exceptional.


I don't think our chances of getting another game like Torment lie in the license.

 

[Karbin]

Why couldn't they make a lower budget sequel to PS:T that's PC Exclusive. Feargus is clearly smart enough to know that they can't turn it into a crazy Action RPG without pissing us off so why not create more of an old school CRPG?

Telltale Games proved that Adventure Games isn't a dead genre but just needed to be done on a smaller scale. I think we could have quality RPGs done by major studios and have it still be profitable by not making a ton of lavish cutscenes and voice work. All we need is a good campaign, music, and art design.

Lionheart. Lionhead. LIONHANDS!


Think of those brofist man.

 

[Mister Arkham]

I never, ever, ever want to see a sequel to Torment. But another Planescape: _____________ game? Why not? There's no reason that any other Planescape game has to have anything to do with Torment but share a setting, and the Planescape setting is easily the best thing to ever come out of D&D. I could totally get behind another game set in Sigil, especially if it were to come out of MCA's head. Dude just gets the world; the way it should work and feel.

Yeah, because only the Codex likes RPG and every RPG made have to be high-budget AAA game that need 5.000.000 copies sold.

What a dumbfuck. It's just that a niche genre like RPG needs niche-based production values.

FRUA have several modules set in the Sigil. Planebound, afair. Should check my archive.

Something like this, yeah. I'd like to see Sigil again, much of what made the first game good was a well-made implementation of the setting.

New Planescape game would not sell regardless of how good or popamole they made it. The setting hardly seems marketable to the next-gen crowd.
