PAX East 2012 News, Infos, Videos, Screenshots...

Postby laharl9999 » Fri Apr 06, 2012 5:49 am

I propose to open a new topic to collec all infos you found about PAX East 6th-8 april 2012 : News, Infos, Videos, Screenshots...

[News]:
Torchlight 2 will 'ideally' launch shortly after Diablo 3 or one month after D3 , so 15th june 2012 is the earliest release date.
travisbaldree wrote:We don't have an announced released date.
We'll release it as soon as it is done - with the caveat that we WON'T release it on D3's release date or within a week or two either side of it, because that's marketing suicide.

Wow, PAX East was great! The response from everyone was awesome, and I want to thank NVidia for the opportunity to show there. We hadn't planned to show it publicly because we are so busy right now, but NVidia made it possible by supplying a venue and great help from their staff, so thanks to them!

I also want to clear something up - there are evidently articles and posts floating around that we have a release date - we don't! There was a "misunderstanding" based off a quote involving the release date of Diablo III. While talking about that, the point I made was that we didn't want to release at the same time they do if we happened to be finished at the same time, and would want some breathing room on either side. I said the ideal breathing room for that would be about 30 days, but that we are, as always, committed to finishing it right and have no date in mind. If you look at the source article, the only actual quote from me is the one word, "ideally", without the rest of the conversation. We will release when it's done, and we don't know exactly when that is yet.

By the way, we were right next to the Blizzard guys showing Diablo III, and I mean RIGHT next to them. Like 8 feet away. It was great! They are really cool guys, Bashiok and Chad, and we had a fun time chatting and checking each other's games out.
Far from being awkward, it was like hanging with old friends with a lot of mutual respect.

Anyway, I haven't looked at this thread at all, or any of the coverage from PAX except the occasional tweet, because I got home at midnight last night, so I'm going to spend some time this morning checking it out. Based on the reaction from people playing, I'm looking forward to seeing what people have written and posted.

I love the art in the banner...

Seriously, when I'm done with school, I will make Runic hire me, just so I can be around the awesomeness that is their art team.

The problem with making them hire you is the vetting process. I am pretty sure they make you go one on one against Falcor.

So basically, June 15th will be the earliest we would see Torchlight 2 launched, according to the Joystiq article, and this would be an ideal, according to the devs.

So we are likely looking to be in the July/August range for release, if reading between the lines a bit.

I think that is what the news article from Joystiq says, right?

Interesting.
Guess we have a longer wait than many thought.

Yeah, that means my guess over at RGF is off by about 10 days if they go with June 15th. Sigh. No free TL2 for me.

I trust nothing that comes out of Max's mouth, no offense. I'll believe it when TL2 has an official release date or pops up on Steam.
