Torn

[Marinerzz]

Is there any plan to bring Torn back into development? I just remembered that game and I think I remember you guys almost being done with it and then cancelling it. I bet you could finish it really quick and everyone would love it!

Yeah, it would take like.. 15 minutes to finish it up. And it would be a huge success, no doubt about it.

 

They're just not doing it to spite you.

[Fenghuang]

Lawl.

Poor TORN, never saw the light of day.

Well, there's no reason it couldn't be PG ...

[Dark_Raven]

Project Georgia. The next game after Project New Jersey.

It looks like the official home page is down. That can't be good...

TORN. Yeah, I remember that. From what I gather, the reason why Torn was canned was because they had such difficulties with that Lithtech engine. The screenshots weren't that gorgeous indeed (blocky ugly maps, low poly chars etc.). I'm just wondering why they didn't licensed Bio's Aurora and build the game with that engine? The game wouldn't have looked better from an artistic standpoint, but at least they would have been able to release it.

[mr insomniac]

My understanding is that it wasn't just the engine they had trouble with, but the concept and the plot, etc. as well. Torn had promise, I would say, but is probably best left where it is. Perhaps elements of it lived on, and continue to live on, in games that were made since... which is maybe a more fitting tribute than to try and resurrect the game itself.

Maybe that's because neverwinter was released 1,5 year after the first screenshots from torn.

Back when you couldnt go a day without chatting to one of the BIS employees about some feature or other.

[steelfiredragon]
