Wow, this looks fantastic. Am I correct in hearing there's going to be a demo for this? I'd like to test this theory of it running on my netbook; I sincerely doubt it will, but if it were, I'd be happy as a clam.

I think my first play through is going to be a Vanquisher/Rogue.

Tenkai Star · Oct 25, 2009

Just bought it on Steam. 15 euro <3

ACE 1991 · Oct 25, 2009

Just bought. So pumped

Yes, demo out on release day.

So now to get Steam on my MBP. Hmm so do I get XP 64 or Windows 7. :/

Teknopathetic · Oct 25, 2009

XP 64 is never an option.

theMrCravens · Oct 25, 2009

I wonder if I can start in Hardcore mode without finishing the game first.

I might go VeryHard/Hardcore and run it with a Vanquisher.

You can.

And I do *NOT* recommend that.

Why the hell would you ever buy XP 64? Are you serious?

If he intends to upgrade his PC in the near future, makes more sense to get the 64 version.

I wouldn't recommend it for a current PC or old.

Not for XP. There's no reason to get xp at all let alone 64.

Yeah this.

Go with Windows 7... Unless you are a masochist?

Kade · Oct 26, 2009

Just got this game after Steam declined my credit card for 3 days for no reason. Hopefully it's worth all the trouble.

tomedo · Oct 26, 2009

Pre-ordered from Steam yesterday. This and Demon's Souls means not much time for other games this year. My daily playtime is quite limited... =(

Yeah propably gonna go with Alchemist.

senahorse · Oct 26, 2009

Alchemist here as well, at least first go, those pewpew effects are too pretty

Odious Tea · Oct 26, 2009

This wait is truly excruciating.

tomedo · Oct 26, 2009

Looks like the game has entered Steam top sellers list at 9. Didn't see it there yesterday.

Macmanus · Oct 26, 2009

I have one day to get through the fourth chapter of Risen before this little gem sucks my time away.

Barrett2 · Oct 26, 2009

V_Arnold · Oct 26, 2009

Purchased it.
One more day to wait, then here we go!

Barrett2 · Oct 26, 2009

When does this actually become available to play? Midnight tonight?

I hope so... Does steam update quickly?

V_Arnold · Oct 26, 2009

When I checked the time to release, it said this morning "11 hours, 1 day".
I am afraid that will mean 24 hour more now (1 day it says still), but let us see if it changes in a few hours -.-"

V_Arnold · Oct 26, 2009

23 more hours.... damn.

theMrCravens · Oct 26, 2009

This and Left4Dead 2 demo.

ug...
Fun day tomorrow.

Only Valve games get midnight releases. Maybe a few other games but certainly not a game from such a small developer.

cmmart · Oct 26, 2009

bought it. it looks great

Don't forget that the score is composed by Matt Uelman, the excellent fellow responsible for the music in Diablo and Diablo II. He has indicated this to be his most guitar-driven work since the original Diablo. I'm pretty goddamn excited.

Awesome! Uelman is fucking brilliant.

Ah, the memories.

Remo put up an interview with project director Travis Baldree and CEO Max Schaefer on Gamasutra.
No incendiary quotes that I'll pull, but good nonetheless and I swear it's the first I heard about an actual free "MMO upgrade" when you buy Torchlight. I knew they were financing the MMO development with proceeds from this, but this sounds like it's gonna act as the base game for it, also? Would have liked more talk about the middle-ground PC landscape, though.

Does that mean Torchlight acts as the base game, and when the MMO box comes out, you don't have to buy anything to start subscribing?

Teknopathetic · Oct 26, 2009

It was a joke. As indicated by the [laugh]. They're saying think of the MMO that comes out later as a "free upgrade" because the MMO will be free.

Zeliard · Oct 27, 2009

First video I've seen of the game. Holy shit, it looks great.

ismaboof · Oct 27, 2009

Just watched the QL and goddamn I want it, but I still have Titan Quest for the D2D $5 deal. Fuck you bank account and limited time!

I will buy it on weekend sale.

Zeliard · Oct 27, 2009

Wow, the pet dog is fantastic.

He summons skeletons and can go back to town to sell your loot. :lol

You can customize the pets, you choose the spells they have, and both pets can sell items for you.

The fish that they couldn't find in the quick look (because you actually have to fish them up yourself) can morph your pet into other creatures.

BlazingDarkness · Oct 27, 2009

this looks exactly like diablo

Sinatar · Oct 27, 2009

Oh man that dog is awesome.

Diablo 3 needs a dog stat.

epmode · Oct 27, 2009

I don't know if anyone here actually has an advance copy or anything but does this game support 2560x1600 resolution?

Teknopathetic · Oct 27, 2009

The game will apparently play on whatever resolution your monitor supports.

BlueScrote · Oct 27, 2009

Just watched the quicklook, and I love how it looks in motion. I also just realized that steam has a small preorder discount on it. Damn you steam (or damn you lack of willpower).

Odious Tea · Oct 27, 2009

"Dogs can't wear rings!" :lol

darkressurection · Oct 27, 2009

Hopefully the remaining time on the Steam page is just an estimate, I don't think I could wait another 20 hours.
