This trailer reminds me of the trailer for "Alien," especially the text and the siren-like sound at the very end. The music at the beginning reminds me of the beginning of the song "Get it Faster" by Jimmy Eat World, strangely enough.
Is this song in the PS:T OST? Look up the song 'The Eliminating Angel' by Lustmord, and you'll hear some similarities, one time I was listening to it on youtube and thought I accidentally had the PS:T trailer open
This is the best setting ever. I absolutely love how it takes all the traditional and conventional RPG rules and elements and throws them out the window in favor of total bizarreness. You can literally make whatever you can think up and it fits. Where else are you gonna find a holy demon for example? Only in Planescape..
I loved the game's soundtrack, but watching this trailer always makes me think about how the game would have been with the music that Brian "Lustmord" Williams created for it.
@supremacistdawn His music would have been good too, but I think his music gets a little too intense and heavy sometimes for the planescape atmosphere. I feel that Mark Morgan created a more ambient soundtrack that's haunting and ominous but somehow peaceful at the same time. Especially in places like the mortuary and scenes with deinoarra.
It looks like the Higher Planes were in early drafts of the game. Only thing I can think of to explain the foliage in that picture. I'm guessing that's either a god or a Titan walking.
@Petersunnergren For story? No not even close. For Roleplaying? It might as well be just on console. For attachment to characters, no contest. In short, Mass Effect is a penny to Planescape Torment's million dollars!
@Iconoclast12100 I honestly don't know. The story tellers are still all here. Chris Avellone is working at Obsidian, and they always get riled up for having buggy games. But the stories are always awesome.
I wish Obsidian would come up with some amazing RPG again, they're the only developer I still trust when it comes to RPG's but they haven't delivered a real good RPG since Mask of the Betrayer.
Also, I would argue that New Vegas and Alpha Protocol both live up somewhat to Mask of the Betrayer, but it is kind of hard to get as high as the best cRPG since Torment.
@Luisfius Eeeeh, I find the Witcher universe to be a little devoid of charm (and their approach to dark fantasy is a little, questionable)
As for Alpha Protocol and New Vegas, AP is certainly well-written, but the gameplay gets in the way. NV suffers from Gamebryo being shit and the base concept still being post-apocalyptic Oblivion.
Strangely though, I favor KotoR II over Planescape, get so annoyed when Bioware fanboys whine about the story not being 'epic' (ugh) enough and whatnot.

Stupid kid: "Yay, this game is gonna be awesome, look at the graphics!"
Me: "Must be another pointless uninspired hyped-up commercial crap with nothing but good cinematics"
Me after playing it: "Wow! This is one of the best novels I've ever read!"

Who's that huge green fellow? The one walking through the forest? Looks like an orc... never seen anything like it in the game

I think, it's the huge steel golem Coaxmetal, from the siege tower.

This game has the best narrative I've ever seen....in anything....ever. Why can't we have storylines like this with the graphics of today?
Iconoclast12100 2 years ago 27
I would agree, nobody else in the game is that huge, except Coaxmetal has no legs to walk with.
