Torment Torment: Tides of Numenera Pre-Release Thread [ALPHA RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Aeschylus]

What's the last real scifi RPG ever released? (by real I mean party-based, top down, non-action, etc)

Buck Rogers: Matrix Cubed. With the caveat that I don't consider Star Wars sci-fi.

And even that is pulp scifi.

 

[Jaesun]

I know. Fargo can kill 2 birds with one stone:

Bards Tale IV: IN SPAAAAAAAAAAACE!



I'd probably back that because I'm so desperate for a sci-fi game.

 

[Roguey]

I just want a sci-fi RPG

I heard there will be some perfectly sound science in Wasteland 2.

Anachronox.

I'd back that through a veil of bitter tears of regret. Torment: Tides of Kickstarter

If you're really desperate, the only other ones I can think of are the Megatraveller games and Planet's Edge (which is actually kind of good. Kind of). Oh, also Sentinel Worlds.

Otherwise you will be forced to venture into the dark and forbidding territory of the jrpg.

 

[Jaesun]

No thanks (But I DID love the Xenosaga series). It's my favorite.

Just got to see the first pass from @andreewallin for a #Torment concept piece. All I can say is WOW!

Cool. The swede to incline yet another inXile RPG.
EDIT: errr... that was from Fargo's twitter just now.

I wonder if he is the same dude who did the bloom concept art. Because that shit was awesome.

Nah, the Bloom's by Chang Yuan, who is doing some stunning work on the environments (we'll show more with the Kickstarter). This guy.

Wallin did some of the earliest pieces that were shown for Wasteland 2, like this one and this one.

I don't think it is. First, someone would have said it was him. Second, it's not really his style. He almost always have some sort of character in the picture... so it's more like a scene than concept art, really. He works in movies, after all.

 

[Jaesun]

Ahh OK. I really liked those two.

 

[mondblut]

Devs should just ban women from the game universe, like GSC did in STALKER.

Gothic 1 treated women in the game universe just right, methinks.

If i´m not mistaken, Space Rangers is coming out with an HD version sometime soon.

Another Russian hidden gem With horrible translation as usual ^_^ Thanks for heads up about HD and reminding. I can recommend this one (especially Space Rangers 2) for anyone into space thingy. It has some over the top combat and strange RTS sections, but good games indeed.

Edit : On topic, i think last 2-3 hours now for Torment KS campaign?

 

[DwarvenFood]

Half an hour left now..

Well I think I was the first backer unless a server error happened. Will a photobucket embed work on the codex since I heard a lot of sites blacklisted this site.

 

[Kem0sabe]

Possibly missed the information while reading the page, but where are the kickstarted funding goals? Like extra features if they manage to reach certain funding tiers.
