Remake Torment: Planescape on this engine

[DrFreeman]

Yeah, so basically, who will stand up to create the Torment game we actually want - The original Torment on a better engine ? :) T: TON was fine, but I'm still missing something

Honestly I don't see the point of this idea. PS:T is fine as it is, and it doesn't make sense to me to recreate it on this engine. When you see remakes of old RPG's, it makes most sense if there is significantly newer style graphics. This isn't some sort of radically new 3d engine, so I'm not sure what would be accomplished by redoing PS:T with it.

If inXile touches P:T for a remake, I'm done with them, I'm never buying any of their games ever again.

Don't you see how ridiculous it is? So if they release the RPG of the millennium you won't buy it?

A dev team is an abstraction, people leave and people come, people evolve.

You must be young, because usually people devolve.

Yea i agree with that. There are alot of 3d games, that really look outdated. 2d isometry usually looks ok anytime. It would be nice to bring those back, or continue the series, something like M&M, realms of arcania, wizardry etc.

I'd like to see a different epic adventure in the Planescape setting, maybe centering on the Lady of Pain and her mysteries. But unfortunately the rights to the setting are apparently restricted and we're not likely at all to see Wizards of the Coast officially relaunch Planescape.

As much as I want to see a HD remake of PS:T. Engine and tech is not the problem. I think the license involved and people who have rights to the many properties is the biggest problem considering the demand is sizeable but not a blockbuster hit.

Something is happening, but thankfully not on Numenera's engine.

I take it you know something, yet refuse to tell?

It is likely that Beamdog would make an Enhanced Edition of Planescape: Torment. That means native widescreen, bugfixes, hardware & OS compatibility, redone cutscenes, and probably some extra content.

Beamdog has hinted that the announcement will be Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition.

Seems silly to hint at that, AND make a tease website.

But hey, whateves. I'm not going to complain if it's true. I'm just saying maybe everyone shouldn't hold their breath.

I mean, the success of Torment: Tides' kickstarter shows that there's enough demand for a PS:T enhanced edition that I'd imagine they'd do it if they could secure the rights. And it's glaringly clear that WotC barely cares about the Planescape setting, so can't imagine it would be impossible.

It doesn't even need to be a total remaster - just cleaning it up a bit and throwing it on Steam would make a lot of money.

(Also, apparently the source for that page contains the hexadecimal for "PSTEE" - check out the "secret" attribute on the counter. Hard to see what else it could refer to.)
