I loved the original, it's actually the only Infinity Engine game I've ever finished. I'd like for this to be as good but to be honest I don't think I'd have the patience to play Planescape: Torment again.
I mean, are we talking about the the worth of "one life" of a cloud consultant or printer driver dev or what .
PST turned up in the steam CDR on Saturday.

Looks like Atari/Hasbro has a new compilation coming out: http://cdr.thebronasium.com/sub/13848
Planescape:Torment is one of my favorite games ever. I am far less rabid than most, though. Honestly, I'd be perfectly fine if, for example, they used the Mass Effect universe as backdrop. (That'd be a really interesting question to ask in the post-ME3 universe, too. With so many dead, why do *I* matter?)
The Planescape setting is damned cool, but most of it's use in P:T was that it was fleshed out enough for all the awesome questions and characters they wrote.
I care not for whatever trappings the game has, I just care that it has the same kind of spark P:T did. Now, I have my doubts, but anything's possible.
I never played the first Planescape, so ...
Burn the witch!!! With Fire!!!
Torment: Tides of Numenera is the name
Mark Morgan is on board too.

Looks like among other things, the Kickstarter is set to go live on Wednesday.
Kickstarter's live. I'm in for $20; can't really see spending $15 for the bump for the soundtrack right now.

In!
Looks like they're going to easily blow past their funding goal. Only a few hours in and they're already at $675k/$900k. I'm not the least bit surprised.
$35 pledged! I'm so happy to see how fast their total is climbing.
$700k in about 5 hours. Amazing.
Usually I plunk down the pre-order amount in the few kickstarters I have participated in.
But I kickstarted the bejeebus out of this. I went for the 110$ tier. COME TO DADDY!

Linux version, eh? Now that really has me hovering over the "Back this project" button...
This is the first project I pledge for and I'm very excited for it, especially since I finished a re-play of PS:T 2 nights ago. If they can raise a lot more money, I hope they can get Avellone into the development team.
$700k in about 5 hours. Amazing.
700k? That is soooo 2 hours ago... It's at 830k and still going up : O
I thought the Planescape game was kind of niche but it rocks to see it has so many fans

16,000 to be exact...
I kicked in for $125... Hopefully they can deliver these two projects on time or near it..
Funded in six hours. DAMN!
They made it :-O
Edit: parallaxhausered!
Woohoo! We did it!
So cool, I was about to pledge, then saw the game go over it's $900K goal while I was picking a tier. Pledged a solid $20, knowing it's already met its goal.
Wish we could get a true update on The Nameless One, but The Forgotten One sounds like he (she?) has a gerat story to tell as well.
I didn't even know this was being planned, just found out today on the other thread. And now it's funded. I'm genuinely happy about this and hopeful for the game to come out eventually
It might be a lot of nostalgia, but screw it, I'm very optimistic about it !
Mex, I thought you only played TF2.

Well I didn't know they were still making other games

The status of The Nameless One depends on the status of the Blood Wars. Last we knew he had accepted the fate he first became immortal to escape and was damned to fight in them for the devils.
Or he opened up a Burger King in New Jersey. Alternate ending, still in Hell.
