In a shocking twist, inXile have released another Torment: Tides of Numenera Kickstarter update less than 12 hours after the previous one. In a further twist, rather than being a screenshot update as we were led to believe, they decided to upload a full-blown gameplay video! Watch as the Last Castoff and his companion the Cold Calculating Jack, whose name is revealed for the first time to be Matkina, explore the mysterious Bloom:

​

The game looks great, and is very obviously based on Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity tech, although the character movement has a less abstract, more contemporary simulated style. The dialogue in particular looks fantastic and very Tormenty. I can definitely see inXile raising that stretch goal money now!

Dynamic movement speed? Nice
Anyway, needs more bloom.

By Odysseus balls its looks fucking amazing.

Hype

 

[Tigranes]

Looks fucking good. Wish the texture quality would be a bit better, but the general 'feel' of it is very nice.

 

[Turok]

AWESOMEEEE!!!

 

[Volourn]

Looks better than PE. I backed the wrong kickstarter. The last part of it was unneeded arrogant retartet bullshit though.

 

[Black]

Looks better than PE.

Hopefully they're not aiming that low.

Looks very nice, but it seems that they changed the story a little bit (based on the other update). Not a bad thing, but I did not expect that.

 

[crawlkill]

the way they have weight and have to stop on their heels when they switch directions is a really nice touch for an IE-style game.

and doing a job for someone then demanding that he allow himself to be devoured in payment is very Tormenty. I like it.

 

[Black]

God damn, why must it always be bloom.

 

[Scruffy]

ok, in PoE i don't "feel" the IE atmosphere, but this video definitely gives me a torment-y vibe...

 

[Jaesun]

[evdk]

[VioletShadow]

The best thing about the video is they copy-pasted Toment's UI!!! Good job InXile!!!

:not sarcasm:

 

[Gondolin]

YES, YES, YES! Love the video!

 

[Curious_Tongue]

I hope they rush the second half of the game to simulate the PST experience.
