I never really got a lot of people's fascination with IPs and names. I really don't care whether a game is called Alpha Protocol 2, Theta Service Level Agreement, Planescape: Torment 2, or NonEuclideanSurfacescape: Annoyance. The point is whether a game includes game design I appreciate, like AP's dialogue system, Looking Glass Studios' design philosophy, or Torment's emphasis on non combat gameplay.

i agree with above, but you forgot that many of those "names & IP's" hold their power just due to the fact that they represent those design choices... like the Planescape: Torment's focus on the story delivery on the non-combat side just like you said.

The reason why i'm excited when i see "Planescape 2: the return of the deep conversations" is just because it promises me the greatness of the first one and more.

But it's true what you say Pidesco, those game designs choices are far more important than the IP's or names because their results run so much deeper. Some simple mechanics could leave a mark on you for the rest of your life, even if the package that employs those mechanics is flawed in nearly every other facet.

 

And to be honest, i don't care if the game focuses on combat or arcade style movement or whatever... if it does so in the context of the story as well as games like Planescape did.

Speaking of non-sequiturs...

 

I'm glad the forums have sped up since yesterday. I'm sure they'll start slowing down again soon enough though. :p

Yeah, I feel tormented well enough, mind you. ;) Can't wait for anything what's about to come! Also, I'm new around here - so, hi everybody. :3

It can't be TORN anyway, as that's queued up as Interplay's next kickstarter after the success of Battlechess.

 

Now THAT's sadism.

Ok, so for efficiency's sake let's avoid redundancy and make a list of things that were mentioned as possibilities in this thread but are 100% NOT it.

 

So far we have

 

Fallout 4

Dungeon Siege 4

Elder Scrolls game

 

 

What else?

It saddens me to realize I've not enough imagination to deduce what the teaser is about despite the many many clues.

 

Now, I would say something tied to Greek Mythology, but boy, is that a wild guess.

It would obviously not be KOTOR 3, Baldur's Gate 3, and I don't think it has anything to do with Wheel of Time or Planescape. I think it's a new fantasy setting, probably high fantasy. This is what I hope at least.
