Risen 2 new screenshots.

Looks like Fable 3.

Feargus on PS:T 2

So what does this mean for the chances of a sequel to the adored PC RPG, Planescape: Torment? Urquhart was surprisingly candid: “I remember right after finishing Planescape: Torment I spoke to Chris Avellone [Obsidian creative director] and asked what he wanted to do, and he was like, ‘I don’t wanna do a sequel!’ We haven’t talked about it in ten years, but it might be different now. But a lot of revisiting old games is about saying, ‘okay, that worked in 1999, what would work now?’ And how would you do it again?”

 

“It would have to be done right, otherwise the fans of the original would be pissed off”

 

But while it’s not entirely off the table, Urquhart does have concerns that would have to be addressed: “We’d have to think a lot about it, because it would have to be done right, otherwise the fans of the original would be pissed off and new people wouldn’t get it. That would be terrible.”

i think planescape as a setting should be revisited with a quality game. but a direct sequel to torment is a bad idea imo. leave it alone, its a classic.

What's funny is that the "eternal" Blood War has officially ended in FR after Asmodeus owned Azuth and became a god. The baatezu won.

Either would be fine. The first was about a serial amnesiac. The reset button practically writes itself!

That's Neeshka's grandfather side, correct ?

Yes.

the FR jumped the shark when 4e was released.

Blood War was stupid, anyway.

All my hopes and praying to god. No PS:T2... just no.

 

A separate game in the planescape universe is something that could work, but really... I don't want to see some Oblivion-esque type of game, even if it has nice writing.

no YOU are stupid, blood war was great background stuff.

 

in my games you better believe its still going on, and will for all eternity.

 

 

 

 

(insult was for humor purposes only - not a real insult)

Your FACE is great for background stuff.

hell yeah now that's what im talkin about!

Why in the world would it end up as Oblivion-esque type of stuff? Did I miss something and Bethesda got the D&D license?

cause there is now a big market for those games

I fail to see how it's a big market when only one developer/publisher is doing it with any frequency. Get back to me when EA, Activision, or Ubisoft is capitalizing on it.

Well, then let's call it action-esque permanent-shootery-hack and slay type of game.

EA is bundling Madness Returns with a remaster of the original on EA store for the PC. Finding it on the actual EA store doesn't describe the original as a remaster. And even the console versions come with a digital download of the original if purchased through EA store.

Side as in faction.

Actually, tieflings are supposed to have demon blood, and cambions devil blood. Asmodeus is a devil.

Valve hires world class development trio
