Forums - PC - Planescape: Torment re-releasing this Friday (UK)

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/10/27/planescape-torment-re-release/

Just picked up from Richard Cobbett’s twitter, it appears that Interplay are re-releasing Planescape Torment. Its release date is listed as the 30th October and the price is a – not-much-change-from-the-nature-of-twenty-quid – 17.99 of your Earth pounds. In fact, it appears to be a whole load of Interplay other material too. It’s a surprise to see a decade-old game released at a mid-range price… but it’s also one that I find hard to argue against. A game that’s still placing high in all-time lists, that’s been unavailable for years, that goes for full-price when it turns up on eBay and hasn’t been superseded in any way. If the gaming equivalent of the Beatle’s price never going down and this means that Dan Gril has no excuse but to finally return Alec’s copy to him. Hand it back, you bast.

If you haven't played this one yet, I recommend giving it a go. It's definitely not for everyone, but if it clicks with you, it clicks.

It's also one of the most depressing games you'll ever play.

^^One of the best games i ever played! It's right up there with Fallout 2



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Have they fixed the magic bug that keeps causing newer PCs to crash? This is the question that needs answering!



An amazing game, but why would they price it so high? Strange decision

Not sure, to be honest. I hope so, since this is a DVD re-release, rather than the original 4 CD set.

 Not at all! If you can manage to find a complete set of the original nowadays, it's usually at full launch price. This is only half that.

So when are they releasing it on Steam or Impulse?



I should look into importing this.... I wish they would put it on steam though.

It's dicey buying old games.



I hope it comes to GOG.com with goodies :)



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

Why not a release on Xbox Live?
