Another novella to read through tonight.

Can anyone please 'translate' the 'dynamically moving floor' stuff, what's that about?

On the screenshot it looks like waves so I'd assume water... or some other liquid.

Wonder if the press releases and the coverage and retrospects after the game is released will cite the kickstarter backer number and sum or the one their system indicates (90k+ backers and ~$4.888.888.88 raised).

 

[Zeronet]

I would assume the dynamically moving floor is related to a puzzle in the game.

 

[Infinitron]

inXile finally decided to make the Torment gameplay video publicly listed. No, that's not a new video.

 

[Sykar]

Looks like a bad LSD trip imho:

 

[Apexeon]

Fargo looked at those review scores (from both game journalists and end-users), and how PoE sold almost as much as Wasteland 2 within a month and got dollar signs in his eyes.

He is a business man.
Funding his retirement plan thanks to kickstarter.

Ninjad by Infıntron by seconds.

 

[Morgoth]

Goddammit this looks good. This will be the real thing, as PoE was just an empty soulless husk of a game.

 

[Cyberarmy]

This one is at least turn based, so we can have a ilttle fun with the combat.

 

[Sensuki]

Cool video. Areas still obviously look pre-alpha but there's a nice variety.

As with Pillars of Eternity, character rendering performance looks a bit worrying.

 

[Hobo Elf]

They're doing a really good job at making the game world look as evocative as it should be. Can't wait to sink my teeth in the Numenera.

 

[Jimmious]

I want this so bad

 

[meanwhileInPoland]

i wish this game was released in 2015. it would easily blow PoE/TW3 out of water for GOTY title

 

[Volrath]

Combat animations look so fucking bad lol.

 

[Roguey]

After the likes of Wasteland 2 and Dead State you'd think statements like this wouldn't happen and yet

i wish this game was released in 2015. it would easily blow PoE/TW3 out of water for GOTY title

Not if it's released in 2015 it won't.

 

[you know what time it is]

I know its pre-whatever footage, but it looks like shit. If they wanted to show diversity, it would be better to go with backgrounds alone. What's the point of this video anyway, backers knew what they were getting into, and popamolers will gouge their eyes out 20 seconds into this.

Dem FPS drops too, jesus.

 

[Infinitron]

I think it all looks fantastic, combat animations included. Codex needs to institute a purge of graphics whores

 

[Sensuki]

Dem FPS drops too, jesus.

Yeah those bring down the video a bit.

You must be blind then, and i don't care if it'll look like that when released, that's not my point. This video seems unnecessary and poorly made.

 

[Zed]

FPS drops aside, I really like the visuals. I don't mind "clumsy"-looking characters. In fact, I think it's pretty charming.
I dig the environments.

My only fear at this point is that the game will go overboard with "everything's weird" and the philosophical stuff.

Yeah those bring down the video a bit.

Those are more a function of having had to record a few scenes in editor rather than in build. The regular framerate is what the build runs like, but a few scenes had to be recorded running in Editor and that's just always choppier.
