Quick Look: Torchlight (XBLA)

Torchlight!

Finally, can't wait for Torchlight 2!

Oh sweet, a Torchlight quick look!

Cool

I'd really like Torchlight 2 right about now

I thought this was coming with co-op support???

 
Shame for the TL2 delay but we're hardly lacking in decent games at the moment - triple A, downloads and handhelds are all really strong.

Mindless dungeon crawlers... BORING!

Man, this makes me want to load up the PC version. Considering it would run on ANYTHING, I don't see why you wouldn't get that version, especially since it's been on sale for $5 numerous times. But this looks like a solid enough version if you insist on being a luddite.

Torchlight was not exactly a super graphically intensive game.
It's wierd seeing the graphics downgraded further.

Yeah, seems like a lost opportunity. I wont buy it without COOP, no way when its available on PC as an SP game already. "

I'm amazed how everything Brad says about the PC version is wrong.

co-op is in Torchlight 2 "

Not available on PSN, right?
 
Oh well.

Early Morning quick look!

Seriously. Playing on Hard is a must. Normal is a cake-walk.

Kinda looks really passive. Seems like 90% of the game is holding down the X button.

Seems like a neat game, but it all looks too cluttered to me. Hard to keep track of what's going on.

beem waiting for this, a definite must buy for me since i never bothered with the PC version on account of my pc being crap

That's Brad for you. "

I'd love me some Torchlight.

co-op is in Torchlight 2 "

and when it is released im sure their graphics will suck pretty bad compared to other games out at that time (diablo 3 if it ever gets released)  The whole point of Torchlight was to use it as a techdemo for their upcoming MMO... guess that aint happening anytime soon ;) "

I thought hard was a cakewalk. It was only any fun at very hard or whatever the highest difficulty is, and even that wasn't really hard enough. The AI is just too easy to exploit. "

This really made me want to play Torchlight but I'll probably get it for Mac when it goes on sale. 

This gets me super excited for Torchlight 2. And I wonder if anything from this release will influence the PC version... like, it seemed like loot was way easy to pick up, instead of having to click on things. 
 
Edit: oh hey or I could have just waited and watched the rest of the video and had my question answered, nice.

When Torchlight 2 comes out, I'll still equally won't care about graphics. That's not why people come to these games.  Diablo 2 still looks fine to me. "

" I'm amazed how everything Brad says about the PC version is wrong. "

I will stick to the PC version, but I am glad people can finally get this game on XBLA. Now, let's get some TL2.

Yo, Destroyer bubble shield.

Thanks for the quick look, this looks totally mindless...will pass :)

Nice QL, will definitely pick this one up day one.  Ack, too many awesome games coming out this month!

Man, Jeff is playing this game in the most boring way I can possibly imagine.  Rolling a warrior and picking skills to make it easier to pick up ranged weapons seems crazy to me, but whatevs.
 
It seems there is totally no reason to go with this version if you already have the PC version running.  I'm interested to know how the XBLA version handles abilities that are targeted AOEs (like the ranged rain of arrows skill or whatever it's called).
 
Anyway, this does make me want to play my dude on the pc version again.

Man, that sucks about not being able to choose between Left and Right hand attacks.  I don't see why they can't just map each hand to a separate button.  I'm still going to buy it though, as Torchlight is fresh squeezed pimp juice.

thank god for that, MMOs can go to hell for all I care. "

Nice to see the consoles being the ones that get the shitty port years after the game originally came out for a change. Here's hoping it's the start of a trend.

Yeah, it's pretty awesome when someone gets stuck with a shitty version of an awesome game.   .... Fuck no. Here's to hoping developers make sure their games are identical on every platform. "

oh man I wish my torchlight save file didnt get corrupted, so I could go  back in and play this again. And I was having a blast on my second playthrough.
