Game News "What can change the nature of a game?" - Torment: Tides of Numenera Kickstarter is LIVE

[Diablo169]

Need that George Ziets stretch goal to make this perfect.

 

[Gondolin]

For many years we have wanted to get back to making this style of RPG but it appeared that the market was going everywhere but that direction.

We've always been here, Brian.

Next up, InXile VtM - Bloodlines spiritual successor Kickstarter with the word "Bloodlines" trademarked.

Well, there's VtM Bloodlines, Arcanum... what else?

A NEW GOLD BOX LIKE GAME!

also Ziets!

I really want a Bard's Tale IV.

(Also Ziets! I really want a Ziets.)

ZIETS!

 

[Surf Solar]

And so the circlejerk begins!

 

[BobtheTree]

Grabbed a $20 at a glance before going out for the morning. Glad I missed the $95 tier. Probably would have splurged on that even though I shouldn't. Now, the best I might up mine to is the $65 boxed tier.

 

[skuphundaku]

ZIETS! NAO!

 

[Hobz]

Can I have my free brofist Jaesun please ?

ZIETS

 

[undecaf]

Ziets!

And TB combat...

 

[DeepOcean]

And it's funded in 6 hours. Congratulations to Brian & Co.




Next up, InXile VtM - Bloodlines spiritual successor Kickstarter with the word "Bloodlines" trademarked.

Man. I aprove the idea, they could just copy everything from World of Darkness before Requiem bullshit and change the names: ugly motherfucker = nosferatu, girly man = toreador, manipulative assholes = ventrue, there is no way to White wolf do something useful with World of Darkness, especially now with the semi-vapourware MMO.

 

[likaq]

ZIETS
And Brian Mitsoda too.

 

[Lancehead]

Congrats to InXile!

I really want a Bard's Tale IV.

I don't think he can make an actual Bards Tale IV, he doesn't own the IP. Just the trademark. And do you really want EA funding such a game? They own the IP. D:


ZIETS ZIETS ZIETS!

ZIETS ZIETS ZIETS!

Ah, but the same is true for Wasteland, and they let him make that.

 

[Minttunator]

This is pretty surprising; the game sounds very appealing to me, but I had no idea Planescape was so popular. At first I thought it was pretty lame of them to use the "Torment" name like this but it looks like it paid off for them.

Well, it's a cult classic. Torment might not be the most well-known IE game but it certainly has the most passionate fans. Not to mention the fact that we're ravenous - good storyfag RPGs are as rare as AAA games with depth and complexity.

Dear god, imagine if EA had the foresight to see how Kickstarters would end up. Imagine a Wasteland 2 Kickstarter made by them.

 

[Brother None]

Ziets? Mitsoda?

Hell nah.

We're going all out.

That's the same situation as inXile had with Wasteland 2 tho, and EA was open to inXile using the content from WL1 (without any monetary remuneration, I might add). I think they'd be open to the same for a Bard's Tale IV.

 

[insukk]

It will reach few stretch goals before they'll even publish them. I'm really happy that there will be next Torment-like game.

Also fucking beautiful artworks.

 

[Jaesun]

I still would love for them to do something Sci-Fi though (as in space ships an PEW PEW LAZER GUNS) say as in like Buck Rogers Gold box game.

ZIETS ZIETS ZIETS!

 

[Whisky]

Ziets? Mitsoda?

Hell nah.

We're going all out.

Prosper Stretch Goal

.

That would be actually pretty interesting. An area like the Modron Cube in Planescape, except consisting of a world of Prosper's creation and full of his creations. Level design by Prosper of course.

 

[Gondolin]

Ziets? Mitsoda?

Hell nah.

We're going all out.

Prosper Stretch Goal

That would definitely change the nature of a game. <shudder>

Yeah, I know it has a rabid fanbase for sure. I'm just pleasantly shocked that there's so much enthusiasm for a game like this; it's way more than I expected at all. Maybe this kickstarter phenomenon will be a wakeup call to publishers that you don't have to cater to the lowest common denominator of drooling idiots to sell games.

 

[undecaf]

It'll be hitting 1mil before day in this godforsaken country is over. Well done. Well done indeed.

 

[Oesophagus]

Nope.

But it's even better: it makes publishers redundant

Or they'll just push for more story fag games written by Gaiders.

But hey, at least this has the chance to be good. Who the fuck cares what the "publishers" do, if inXile will deliver?
