I mean, who doesn't like to fondle a tight trained ***?

Maybe I'll just have a beer.

We weren't going first-person as that can lead to disorienting combat and diminish the fun of seeing your character in cool equipment. We were going to pull the camera in behind / above the character so players were closer to the action and allow for free rotation - but you'd still be able to play from more of a top-down perspective if you wanted. We were also working on a new combat system with action-game style melee combat, finishing moves, and a ranged mode that pulled in over-the-shoulder similar to Gears of War. In our demo we had a mechanized repeating crossbow that was a blast to use. It was going to take place in a unique fictional world and in some places the player would be able to take part in large-scale battles with strategic objectives.

Those sound like fantastic ideas, it's a real shame they'll never be used.

Improving the look and style of melee combat is just what this game needs. While the graphics look really good the animation looks so poor next to any decent action game. There's a lot that can be done to freshen up the combat and it seems like you were gonna do just that.

but im stil wondering what was the reason that TQ2 isnt coming?

[yerkyerk]

IronLore went bankrupt seems a good reason.
Also, TQ wasn't really succesful. It was definetely good and severely underrated, but there's not a big following.

ah didnt know that
y its a shame coz it was and stil is a great game

Honestly the only reason I picked up this game is because I was bored while waiting for Diablo 3 news. Anyways long story short aside from the skill system I have had alot more fun on this game than any of the other diablo games.(Huge Diablo Fan Boy)

Props for posting here to Medierra.

I can't resist... may be you could try Lilith, I think you'll have, may be, a little taste of Diablo in your hand...
I say that, I say nothing

I don't understand how Iron Lore created this game with so much potential, realized a ton of that potential in IT, then were shut down. Titan Quest is a good game, and certainly a whole lot better than a ton of crap that gets pushed out there today and is constantly being sequel'd. How many games can boast even the slightest bit of replay value, something that TQ has in spades?

It just sucks so bad. Yea, I'm whining, so what? I finally find a company that puts out a game I really like, and they go out of business. Just like Troika a few years back.

Iron Lore should have gotten a real snazzy PR guy who could hype the **** out of TQ and have some chick dressed as a sexy Athena at his side, and have them use buzz words like "immersion", "next-gen", "old school", and "Diablo killer". They also should have the game throw up a message before crashing a pirated copy, something along the lines of "Hey, the game isn't crashing because it sucks, it's crashing because you're a filthy pirate! Thanks for playing and please go out and purchase a real copy!"

For christ's sake, Dungeon Siege got a sequel, a handful of expansions, and a spin off (Space Siege). All those game were horrible and TQ is a better aRPG in every single aspect.
