This looks like Pillars of Eternity... Are they sharing tech or something?

 

[epmode]

Oh man, I wanted to post this. EXCITED

This looks like Pillars of Eternity... Are they sharing tech or something?

They are!

 

[Irobot82]

This looks like Pillars of Destiny... Are they sharing tech or something?

Using the same engine. B/c just about all small budgets use Unity. But yes, Obsidian is sharing or selling their tech to them.

 

[FlyingSaucer]

This looks like Pillars of Eternity... Are they sharing tech or something?

Yes.

 

[Zweizer]

Looks pretty good~

But man, the music, man, I can basically hear Planescape's theme in it.

 

[Nokterian]

So glad i backed this looks phenomenal!

 

[Nikodemos]

In mai veinz.

But man, the music, man, I can basically hear Planescape's theme in it.

With some of Fallout's noise-tunes.

 

[Vlodril]

Looking faantastic. I am trying to keep the hype down until I play wasteland 2 but it's getting hard, that was an awesome teaser.

 

[hemtae]

Two screenshots from the kickstarter update

In fact they do

 

[FACE]

SO MUCH TEXT

 

[epmode]

Oh god, I hope this is good.

They're definitely on track with the weird stuff! FOR EXAMPLE, this is George Zeits' description of a proposed area:

Deep in the guts of the Bloom is a jumble of fleshy veins and cavities, known to natives as the Gullet. It surrounds a foul organic stew, containing the minds and memories of those devoured by the Bloom. The pulsing of a titanic heart reverberates from somewhere below… if you find yourself trapped here, the sound will drive you mad.

Few reach this place by intention. Most are eaten by a Maw and emerge in the Gullet, half-digested, to spend the final days of their lives in screaming agony. Transdimensional echoes of the Bloom's victims wander through the tunnels, lost and insane. Bizarre creatures, bred by the Bloom in its guts, burst from their wombs to hunt. Forgotten machines and artifacts lie half-submerged in Bloom-flesh, plucked from distant worlds of the past or future.

The only way out of the Gullet is down… to follow the sounds of the Bloom's beating heart and descend to a place where the Bloom's consciousness is at its most malignant and aware.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

Looks fantastic! I assumed it was still in pre-production, with the studios focus being on Wasteland 2 but I guess Inxile knows what's up.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

Despite being text based dialogue driven the quality of the VA leaves me very impressed.



I have been interested in Divinity and Shadowrun Returns and Transistor, but I haven't taken the plunge of these titles - It's not that I need a 3d cinematic driven story, it's just that it has to be a really good and well delivered story.

I mean.. Look at Max Payne 1 and 2. It's not even that they are particularly well written, but they are still good. The delivery, the atmosphere. And the short burst of the comic-book style cut scenes just perfectly fits these awesome action games without abrupting the gameplay flow.

As great as Max Payne 3 is, something was lost by going Tony Scott on it. That's why I am really hopeful for this game. And I hope more isometric RPGs will go those extra lengths to not just have dialogue in these games feel like a cash in or hampered.

Ok...so i'm throwing money to my monitor right now

SO MUCH TEXT

SO MUCH VOICE ACTING

 

[Glass Rebel]

*sees text covering over half of the screen*

I regret not backing this

 

[Mr. Poolman]

What can change the nature of RPGs?

 

[Easy_D]

Yep, I need this.

 

[epmode]

This is the best trailer ever.

You can still preorder special editions.

[Madouu]

Hmm, for some reason I'm not excited as most of you are about this teaser although I did back the kickstarter, something seems off to me but I can't pinpoint what it is exactly yet.

Anyway, good to see progress is made on the game.

 

[Durante]

I think it's somewhat amusing that they proudly mention at the end of the trailer that their game is powered by Obsidian technology.

Who would have thought?

 

[wrowa]

Wow, I think this trailer actually surpassed my expectations a little. It might be due to the crappy laptop I was watching the trailer on, but it felt like the characters mesh better with the background than in Project Eternity.

 

[Asbear]

I don't know if anyone subscribes to Smudboy on Youtube, but isn't this the game that he made a bunch of videos of because he was dissatisfied with some game-design decision they made?

 

[crabman]

Day one, can't wait

 

[ZoddGutts]

I don't know if anyone subscribes to Smudboy on Youtube, but isn't this the game that he made a bunch of videos of because he was dissatisfied with some game-design decision they made?

Because it went Turn Based?

 

[Carlius]

looks very dope. am down.

 

[Piotrek]

Oh my, this looks mighty fine. I hope they also go the (promised) Obsidian way and at least try to tweak the engine into being scalable for old, crappy computers.

 

[The Technomancer]

Between this and Pillars I'm basically set. Never did I imagine that I would be getting both whats looking like an awesome classic fantasy D&D style RPG from Obsidian and what looks like it could be an awesome, fantastical and bizarre spiritual successor to Torment in close proximity.

 

[FlyingSaucer]

SO MUCH TEXT

So much parallels with P:T. The Bloom is the new Mortuary, and the girl is Morte ?

The Endless Battle : ah ah, good one ;p

 

[Begaria]

IN MY FUCKING VEINS NOW

Holy shit! It's like I'm in my teens again with all of these great CRPGs coming.

 

[syko de4d]

This looks so good. I hope PoE and Torment are great and successful games and we will see many other games like this.

I replayed the original Torment just 2-3months ago and its still the best writing combined with one of the best storys. Such a amazing game.

 

[Chairman Yang]

Graphics look better than Pillars of Eternity so far. Although that might just be the variety and exoticism of the locales.

Love that the focus of the trailer was dialogue trees. InXile knows their audience.

 

[Arkanius]

Pillars of Eternity and Torment are like two shining globes of light in a dark sea of mediocrity that have been this last few months.

It looks fantastic, I'm so glad Obsidian and inXile are sharing their tech and talent to create two fantastic games worthy of BG2 and Planescape Torment

 

[Fuz]

This RPG renaissance makes me so damn happy.
Now, if this has a combat only half as good as the one in D:OS...

This is the best trailer ever.

Look, bioware. LOOK. This is how you do dialogues.

 

[Trigger]

Yeah, it was about the choice of combat style, I think.

#SHOTSFIRED

Also HNNGHHHHH

 

[CastleBravo]

Torment: TLDR

I kid, I kid.

 

[Delstius]

Can't wait to have more info for the battles, but it looks really great.

 

[jett]

The fact that only some lines are spoken is really distracting. I'd rather have no voices at all.

 

[zkylon]

that ending thing was so fucking cheesy lol

 

[Dresden]

Wonderful.

 

[Fuz]

The fact that only some lines are spoken is really distracting. I'd rather have no voices at all.

Not sure where the problem is. Looks like that only the descriptions and the main character lines aren't spoken.
