Fresh decade old idea runic.

Diablo what?

i enjoyed the original so hopefully this will be awesome

This seems like a good idea build the world where your MMO is going to be set in, the make the MMO.

I approve.

I might have to pick the first one up and see what all the hype is about.  

Sweet, I hope they include LAN play

The first games lack of co-op really killed it for me. But this one sounds fantastic!

Can't wait, loved the first game and it's good to see them flesh out the universe a bit more before moving into production on that MMO. Roll on Spring!

If anyone's interested and doesn't already have the original Torchlight, it's on sale here for $5.

This is exciting. I hope this game is as good as the first one. More areas and cities will make this much more exciting.

Doom and gloom? The first game had more color than a kindergarten classroom. =P
 
I am so hyped for this. There's not enough point and click RPGs anymore, at least not streamlined, pleasant looking at ones.... with dogs that carry your shit around for you.
 
Who thinks it's possible for 3 Torchlight games to be released during Diablo 3's development?

I liked Torchlight and I like co-op.  But I'm not sold yet

Still waiting for it to go on Steam sale again, missed the previous one.

kewl

woooo

I look forward to this one. Torchlight was a good launch point with room to improve.

wait i thought they were going to make it into a MMO too,

Seems like the game is taking the Diablo route. Next step will have them delay Torchlight III for a few years.

Torchlight was awesome, Torchlight + Co-Op is gonna be divinely awesome.

Interesting. Sounds a lot more interesting than the first game (which was not a bad game really).

I've enjoyed the first one, glad to see they're continuing the series.

Cool. Torchlight looked like Diablo, and Torchlight II apparently will look like Diablo II. Wonder if we'll see Torchlight III before Diablo III comes out.

I didn't like the original too much, because it was too much like diablo, and, well I dont like diablo.

i was kinda hoping for an mmo

cool, I thought that the first one looked cool, just waiting for it to go on sale through steam.

" i was kinda hoping for an mmo "

They should just abort the MMO & stick with just producing modules & shit for Torchlight.

Will the game feature the need to use more than one or two attacks? I love the game, but after a few years of WoW, I need some more combat depth than using ranged lightning to kill everything.

As a huge fan and advocate of the original Torchlight, I'm really glad to hear this.
 
As much fun as I had with the first game, having all of the same NPCs over so many hours started to wear on me and feel like it was actually going back in time from this team's Diablo II.  Even if the difference is mostly aesthetic, there's a sense of accomplishment when you've "completed" an entire city and get to move to the desert jewel, the marsh, the northern city...
 
I'm sure Runic's classic art style will make these cities fun to explore and learn all over again.
 
And I still need someone to announce, "You have quite a treasure there in that Horadric cube!"

Wait, isnt torchlight the name of the mining town? Why are they calling it torchlight 2 if its not centered around torchlight?

I approve of this.

It's a sequel, it should have different cities and expanses 
That's a given.....  

God, I hate Nicholson
Kessler is alright; he's just an intern afterall 
But Nicholson should just save what dignity he has left and stop making news shitty news stories

CAN'T WAIT!

I am looking forward to this!

All I'll say is ,LAN FTW

" So, Torchlight 1 was like Diablo 1, now Torchlight 2 is going to be like... Diablo 2. Never saw this one coming... "

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE MMO AT?

Hopefully after this one crashes and I lose four hours of progress, I'll pick it up again.

Looking foward to it

Pretty excited to hear about this, but what does this mean for the MMO version?

Again, Spring 2011 is too early. Aim for the end of 2011. You want people to think "wow, I miss that game, I'm eager to play more!" rather than "didn't I just finish that?". Also, it seems like they're missing out on a great opportunity to milk us for cash. Just retain the single game and charge cash for each additional city. Want to play in all five cities? Pony up $10 each.

Will it not be as monotonous as the first though?

I really wanted the MMO, but I'll accept this until that is eventually released. If it's $20 new (like the original), I'm there day-one. 

Man just when I bought the first one which I think I'm probably never gonna play again... Unless I'm at uni suffering hard from videogame withdrawal. Oh well... Looks cool but i'll probably skip it and wait for the MMO unless this turns out to be awesome.

I'm riding a time machine called Earth into the future at a rate of one second per second.  At this rate, I'll be in spring of 2011 in spring of 2011.
