Game News Tentative Torment Kickstarter Tiers Announced

[Lancehead]

All the tiers just seem to be lacking.

 

[Jasede]

That video better be awesome because the tiers aren't doing it for me.

 

[evdk]

Were you people expecting complementary blowjobs?

 

[Lancehead]

Expecting better perks (digital or physical), sure. I mean, not a turn-off for me, but might be for the lesser interested whose money would presumably be needed to fund the game.

 

[Infinitron]

Obviously nobody is going to be excited by seeing a price tag without the product it's attached to.

 

[evdk]

Unless you're already excited about the product.

 

[Grunker]

Why do people want perks for higher donations? Seriously, usually it's just like a soundtrack and a statue or something anyway. The point of us donating higher amounts is for them to gain more money from the project. Not for us to get super-cool Torment stuff or whatever.

When I give more than the base game value, it's because I want this project THAT much. What the fuck do I care what trinkets they toss at me for paying 50 bucks more than the other guy? Just gimme a solid game, bros.

The product is the game. Everything else is just token shit to show their appreciation for you giving more than you needed.

That said, with the higher prices, I'm assuming there's more than concept art.

 

[Infinitron]

That's what I'm saying.

 

[Brother None]

I think the CE tier is actually p good tho'. I mean it's cheaper than other CEs for early birds and quite meaty. I can imagine a variety of digital-only tiers don't excite as much though.

This better have more to show than just some concept art

You mean like...? A running demo? I mean, the entire production crew is on Wasteland 2, this game's just in very early (pre-)pre-production, not gonna have much more to show than design and art.

Brother None: Do you know if inXile already has defined the stretch goals?

 

[Lancehead]

Yes, you don't care, neither do I. But many do care for the "cool shit" that goes along with the game. That's my point, and I believe it's a fact.

 

[Brother None]

Brother None: Do you know if inXile already has defined the stretch goals?

We they do, yes. I mean, things can change, some flexibility permitted, but it's obviously a good idea to have that kind of stuff set up ahead of time so you don't have to rush anything in case they become needed faster than you expected.

 

[FeelTheRads]

o_O

Or rather it's "shit" that makes some people pay more than "needed". It's not a favor that inXile does to people, really.
Who exactly do you think donates based on how much they want the game? That makes no sense. No matter how much I want it, I can just get it for $25.

 

[mindx2]

I went $500 on Wasteland 2 and would like to go for that tier here (the collector in me wants the big tapestry and signatures) but don't know if I can pull that off. Will probably go with the $250 tier if this thing will be up on KS soon. If it's happening later I may move up in my pledge. I do have to say that my excitement level just isn't very high for this one yet. I hope their pitch is really good and will generate a little more info to get that Wasteland 2 "high" back.

 

[Jasede]

Concept art is nice and all but it's good to have a certain idea of what the game would "feel" like. For instance, a mock-up of what kind of perspective they have in mind: is it gonna look like PE, with pre-rendered backgrounds, for example?

Also, I sort of expect a little more details regarding what they want to do and how they want to do.

Yes, you don't care, neither do I. But many do care for the "cool shit" that goes along with the game. That's my point, and I believe it's a fact.

All I want as a perk is a box, manual and map, as used to be standard in the old days. The W2 Kickstarter offering boxes at $50 was way too low. Looking at my Fallout 1 box, it still has the price tag on it and was $100 back in 1997.

 

[LeStryfe79]

Oddity is pretty good for early birds, and since I already got Numenera, that's probably the best option for me. I think they should throw in a custom d20 for shits and giggles though.

Low for Australia, maybe. Normal boxed Fallout (not counting a CE... did they even have those back then?) was never more than $40 to $50 max in the U.S.

There was never a CE for fallout. The original boxed version had an embossed (slightly raised) flap cover and it was originally $49.99 USD. Nowadays sellers are asking for over $150.00 USD for a clean used copy and over $250 for a new unopened copy.

 

[BobtheTree]

I like that the physical tiers are higher. Hope it breaks my fever for CRPG Kickstarter boxes. I don't have a problem with the base tier for the game being higher than Wasteland 2. If anything, I was surprised by how cheap that one was. I think a 50% off rate for those backing is more than fair. If you have a problem with that, just wait for the game to eventually go on sale.

They always charge a higher price in Australia for any digital media. Every now and then, the politicians make a fuss about it, but it never goes anywhere.

I looked last week and couldn't find anything for sale. I did see a never opened red Fallout 1 box, going for a huge sum last year, but I can't remember how much it was. I am sure it was much more than $250.

 

[FeelTheRads]

Yeah, I think I've seen it go for something around $500. Insane. Sometimes you get lucky, though.

 

[Johannes]

So when will they be launching this KS? InXile still has a shitty track record, to give them some benefit of the doubt with WL2 was reasonable... Now they want money again even when it's still as unknown whether they are capable of producing a solid RPG?

 

[UnknownBro]

I have yet to see if InXile can deliver, fuck $25 is too much and I'm not gonna pledge that ammount just for the hype, besides for me PS:T was a snoozefest.
I guess I'm not a big fan of interactive graphic novels.

Not going to to kick in simply because by the time this gets to beta the first wave of KS stuff will be getting released. I'm sure I'll be playing Wasteland 2 and other stuff like Chaos Chronicles, Eador, etc. That said $25 is not a bad price assuming it will probably be $40ish on release. I'm sure they also don't have to make as much on this as they did with Wasteland as while it's in development they'll be receiving profits from W2 sales from people who didn't buy it on KS. It begs the question of when they'll stop relying on KS altogether and just offer 'pre-orders' through their website or some function where they don't have to pay KS/Amazon a cut of the money.
