Sure are a lot of weak chins at inXile. The two female cosplayers on the right have the strongest.

 

[Kem0sabe]

The entire torment experience in a single pic... depressing as fuck.

who is the guy to the right, in front?

Chris Keenan, project director of Torment after ksaun's departure.

EDIT: https://twitter.com/rangerkeenan Oh, apparently he's the "VP of Development" now too.

 

[FeelTheRads]

Who is this guy?

[Roguey]

I like the people who don't want to put those bags on their heads, especially the guy in the back who doesn't even want to be in the photo.

 

[Saduj]

The guy in the middle with the folded arms looks like he is hating himself for having been pressured into putting the bag on his head and his refusal to smile for the picture is a futile attempt to salvage his dignity.

 

[Grotesque]

I don't get it. This presentation was open to public? Are all those persons tier 1 journalists?
Was Bubbles there at some point?

What did you expect from a game called torment... fun?

Conventions like Gamescom typically have both "public" and "private" showings of games, the latter offering a chance to get a more intimate look at the game, ask the developers questions, etc.

Why do they have bags on their heads?

SURVIVED MY FIRST GAMESCOM.
AUGUST 21, 2016 by COLIN

OK, that was harder than GenCon. Five days of constant talking. My voice is trashed. I’m exhausted. I only had an hour or two to wander the halls, and the crowds were overwhelming. In the exhibition area, our neighboring booths were pounding bass, occasionally overwhelming our sound system.

But. BUT.

The experience was extraordinarily fun, gratifying, and satisfying. I met a pile of fantastic people, got to thank backers in person, learned from new gamers and old alike that what we’re creating is exactly the experience they sought. Ran into fans of my tabletop work. People told me that Planescape: Torment changed their lives (all praise to Avellone!), and that what they saw of TTON made them believe that we would be a worthy companion to our predecessor.

Now I’m ready to return to work behind a screen, instead of standing in front of rooms full of people.

Just waiting for the Techland people to finish breaking down the booth and then we’re headed out for dinner and drinks. In the meantime, here are a few more pictures.

Our Torment survivors.

One of the shirts and ties that I never got to wear. (I was prepared to dress like a professional guy. No need, it turns out!)

Goodbye, Gamescom.

Why exactly does Colin have to extoll the virtues of the fucking glorified 5-day ad fest? I get it, you have to be there, but why do you want me to believe it was fun?

 

[Infinitron]

I believe this is the extended gameplay video they showed at Gamescom:

 

[Bubbles]

Does Torment currently not have a combat log or is that a console thing?

Bubbles Anything interesting in there?

 

[Bubbles]

There's not a single detail in there; it's mostly about how amazing PST was and how similar Torment's design is promised to be. But PS4 Magazin isn't really tier 1, right?

 

[Infinitron]

Hmmm...

 

[Daedalos]

Dat polish.

The first picture looks like a playstation 2 version, while this one looks like PC 4k ;D
