Company News Beamdog might be working on a new Planescape game

[ArchAngel]

Also it is possible this will be using Planescape setting but not be a Torment like game with heavy focus on storytelling.

The "Unraveled" part suggests a connection with PS:T, though.

Still means nothing. Considering Bg1EE sold most and PSTEE least I would guess they would like to earn more money with this game instead of less. Also the fate of TToN would certainly make them worry.

 

[Neanderthal]

Can you imagine how much Gaiders shitty writing an even worse plotting'd fuck up the Planescape setting, Lady of Pain would probably start dropping pathetic cheesy one liners, an Vhailor come out as gender incorporeal.

 

[Elex]

More relevant perhaps that Beamdog's PST:EE rerelease sold even less than inXile's Torment.

so we must hope that the new game sell negative numbers?

More relevant perhaps that Beamdog's PST:EE rerelease sold even less than inXile's Torment.

To be fair, TTON was a new game, while everyone who had even the slightest interest had already played PST.

 

[Hellion]

PST was already re-released on DVD in 2009 and went for sale at GOG.com in 2010, so it's possible that its original cult following (or any possible interested "newcomers") already owned these versions (apart from owning the original 4 or 2-cd version) and didn't see a reason to buy the EE as well.

NuTorment's failure, on the other hand, is unique and fresh.

Listen you will all be happier if you ignore the fact that this shitty company exists

I have the despair button for a reason, and this thread is it. Strap yourselves in.

 

[Kem0sabe]

This will be a trainwreck of even more depressing proportions than the dumfuckery Inxile came up with.

They have the advantage of low expectations, while inXile is much better at making hype than making games.

 

[Rivmusique]

Enjoyed SoD, eager to learn what they're doing next.

 

[Bocian]

Beamdog needs a beambullet to the beamhead.

 

[SerratedBiz]

This beamdog needs to be put of its beamsery.

Did I make it better or worse?

 

[Zed]

TToN's the bloom was cool. too bad about everything else in the game. very forgettable.

wonder if they have Avellone on board as some sort of consultant for credibility or if they've realized it's pointless to try to appeal to the old guard after the enhanced editions and TToN.

 

[oldmanpaco]

I believe this can only end well.

 

[Ulfhednar]

Let's hope Beamdog is wise enough to go with their own new project and not try to create an expansion for PST:EE.

 

[felipepepe]

PST:EE sold like 40k copies on Steam. Making a DLC for it would be pointless.

 

[Diggfinger]

Was excited for a moment.....

...aaaand it's gone again

 

[taxalot]

Beamdog is pointless.

Yet, it is.

Beamdog has changed the nature of a point.

 

[hivemind]

Why are D&D fangays so butthurt that beamdog provided appropriate writing to games based on their retarded ruleset?

 

[Crescent Hawk]

Canada was a mistake.

 

[lightbane]

This year is getting worse and worse.

 

[Jason Liang]

Drizzt in Sigil

I called it first

 

[mondblut]

It will suck.

 

[taxalot]

It will suck.

We will never know. There will be a plot point, a character, or a dialog line that will hijack all the RPGcodex conversation ; there will be lots of talk about agenda pushing, but I think we will have to wait before page 130 for someone to ask "But is the game any good ? It's been out for two years now.".

Someone will say it's good for what it is, another one that the combat is pretty unbalanced, their voices will be unheard in the middle of people claiming it's a game for faggots.

 

[mondblut]

It will suck.

We will never know.

No. It's 2017. It will suck.
