From the article, it seems that the “big thing” they’re betting on will be mods, or “user generated content” in bznz speech, which neither Diablo 4 nor Path of Exile 2 can offer, what with being live services.
Didn’t they do that years ago when the Diablo 1 and 2 devs formed their own studio and made Torchlight 1 and 2? And then went under because the games didn’t sell enough and the IP got sold to some shady company who made it into a weird, half assed MMO?
I think some of them also made Hellgate: London before that.
They did indeed. That game had its problems, but I liked it. I remember seeing it years later, after the game had been sold to… I wanna say it was a Korean company. They massacred the writing and the game is unrecognizable now, which is sad.
Yes. However, idk if these are those same devs and would you really say no to another torchlight 1 or 2?
I would not say no! I enjoyed the first two Torchlight games.
TL2 is great, haven’t played the first one tho.
TL1 is pretty simple compared to 2, kinda like how Diablo 1 feels compared to 2: one town, one dungeon with 4 different themes after a number of levels (can’t remember if 5 or 10). Hell, that one of the heroes of TL1 became the big bad of TL2 is another nod to Diablo 1-2
In before Rod Fergusson demanding they call it a “Diablo-like”
