Aha, I thought that was just about the "Planescape" trademark which is of course, separate from the "Planescape: Torment" one.

Was "Torment" a trademark at all, or did Brian Fargo register it himself for the new game?

I don't see anything in the trademark search for "Torment" pc game at all, nor do I see anything about Numenera either, so I'm not sure this is accurate.

Brother None Can you settle this? Can anybody make a PS:T game without inXile's consent?

 

[waywardOne]

Does it matter? This being the BGEE thread, it's pretty clear that whether or not they can improve the engine enough to make it a worthwhile purchase, they're obviously not going to be producing any quality stories or characters. Assuming DW contributes more than his wife's portraits (yeah, the game needed more amateur art), the best they can hope for is a good combat sim between improved AI scripts and a completely unborked engine.

No.

 

[Murk]

Is that a no to being able to settle it or a no to making the game without inXile's consent?

YOU BEEN TROLLING LATELY BRA I NEED REAL ANSWERS

"Planescape: Torment" seems to be an active trademark of Wizards of the Coast. "Torment" is a trademark of inXile according to Brian Fargo in the recent Reddit AMA.

I don't see how that stops anyone from making a Planescape: Torment game without inXile's permission but I'm no lawyer.

Yes.

It's also debatable whether PSTEE would constitute a new game or just an update of the old one.

 

[waywardOne]

It's debatable whether BGEE is even an update, so PSTEE doesn't stand a chance.

 

[Stabwound]

Their contract included a BGEE and BG2EE, so the second is still going to happen as far as I know. Hopefully this turned out to be a big enough debacle that WoTC says "fuck you" after BG2EE and leaves Planescape alone. It doesn't need new tacked on bullshit and blur filter.

We can't have a romanceable Toy, but at least I can hold out hope for a romanceable modron cube.

BGEE is shit, but BG is shit, every other EE game will be shit forever just like the regular version. I can't believe you're still discussing it.

You are very wrong there, apart from maybe the first three words.

Man all these edgy newfags. Watch yourself reading this thread, might get cut.

so does this rerelease still suck or did they fix any of the issues with patches

Honestly it is getting better but every patch fixes so much shit you wonder what they were doing with the previous patch...

 

[Xavier0889]

They're going to patch it until it plays just like original BG+tutu/trilogy

It's because every patch also just so happens to break lots of stuff as well.

 

[waywardOne]

The fact that they heavily touted themselves as part of the original BG crew, yet still have to "hire" modders to fix their shit, says it all.

You're right. They are supposed to do it for free.

No need to quote if you're just going to non-sequitur a tertiary point. Ignored.
