Torment: Tides of Numenera - Beta Test Live
 

If you've been waiting for your chance to get in on Torment's beta, your wait is over (well, so long as you're in the right backer tier, anyway). There's also new info on companions, and a special comic by Pat Rothfuss.


More information.

More information.

I will wait for final release.

I watched the beta preview, and not sure this game will be for me. I wasn't really a fan of the original, and this one may not be to my taste either. But I did get this game in a pretty good 2 for 1 deal, and I'm glad to support this company. I'm actually more interested in what comes next! (I know about the Bard's Tale game sequel too, I mean, what new game they are doing after all these.)

Well, with T:ToN tormenting me already before the beta release (should I watch trailer, should I play or wait) it promises well ;-)

Anyone who has tried the beta have any comments ?

I don't own the beta, but from what I've read on the official forums it is quite buggy (no spoiler on the link).

Beta testers if you are allowed please comment on how nice its graphics is in motion and how much fun is the beta? Disregard bugs of course.

I've just started looking at it. Won't play much of it, just enough to get an impression. The game crashes almost immediately after starting it on my floortop machine, but it works fine on my gaming laptop.

As soon (or in my case mostly as late) as I have something to report, I will report it here - after checking what I'm allowed to say without being tormented.

I played most of character creation (yes played) and think they did implement the Numenera rules pretty well. The writing is interesting, and I felt compelled to keep playing. I stopped after the initial area because of my schedule, but I plan to finish the beta this weekend. The bugs I noticed so far have to do with UI elements being very slow to open, and some voice-overs are missing. I'm sure there is quite a bit more under the hood, but my hour of play had zero crashes despite my efforts.

So your saying it's optimized for mobile.:lol:

Hear that Joxer.:p

My game hangs right after the prologue area. Pretty nice up to that point though :lol:

There's a whole thread about it on the backer beta forum. Game basically doesn't work for a lot of people.

It is a known issue, where essentially a dialog file is still playing when the game tries to start the Broken Dome dialog. It is triggered due to the character screen not blocking interaction beneath it. It's top priority for us to work on, but in the meantime it's essentially the kind of bug that randomly happens so saving before going through the portal and reloading generally fixes it.

reloading doesn't work for me unfortunately. I'm waiting for the fix.

No. But of course, I should have said that. I'm getting old.

When will it be released on iPhone?

Pibbur who also like teasing the joxer. Occasionally.

That's the whole point of what beta tests are for, though - to find those bugs that they didn't during development and report them so that they can attempt to fix them before release.

I crashed in the Pillars of Eternity game several times during early beta, for example, which they went and fixed.

I never said it wasn't. :/

I won't lie, I'm a little put off by this.

I found out today that beta access is the same as early access on steam….so if you kickstarted and backed to beta level you get access to early access, just like anyone else on steam….what do you have to pay on steam to get access?

More the merrier to the beta test IMO: want the best Torment in the end possible.

Early access apparently activates on the 26th, so it's later than beta access. No idea of the price, but if it's anything like Wasteland 2 it'll be higher than the by-itself game's release price when it comes out (Wasteland 2 early access was $60, for example, as opposed to, from memory, $40 for its release price) so that theoretically people who bought beta access aren't paying more than those who early access it.

From looking at the streams I'm liking the look of the graphics and the characters are interesting to interact with. The environment has lots to interact with as well. For instance I discovered that items have there history updated when they get altered in some way which is pretty cool.

I played the beta and wrote a short article…as long as the boss likes it, it should be up on the front page pretty soon. :)

Oh goodie, I sure hope he does like it I just can't wait…..












only kidding just wanted to see if you still have me on block, I am sure it will be a good read.

I should block you now;)

I agree 100%. :)

Good;)

I should have added…"…If anyone is interested in reading." :)

You would miss me!!!!!

I played a little. I am suddenly hyped for it. So much choice.

I have access to it, but I haven't tried it yet. In fact, what do we actually have access to? The entire game? Parts of it?

I think it's just the intro area, for now…

At least, that's all I managed to get through, and that's all I've heard anyone report that they got through, either. The game hangs as you come out of the intro.

I read you are supposed to have access to whole Sagus Cliffs.

I wish I could access it. :)

Maybe this is for the better so you don't spoil yourself :)

MMORPG wrote some preview about their experience (Suzie Ford's) in the beta (with some new screens), beware of spoilers.

Looks promising and deep
