Haven't finished the first one yet since it was so repetitive, but I can see this being a lot more fun since it got multiplayer . |

IGN on the scene: http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/111/111...338p1.html Talks from article say there may be an MMO: "We still are going to make the MMO, but it became apparent that Torchlight II was the logical next step for us given the phenomenal enthusiasm of gamers petitioning us for multiplayer." Also obvious: "Runic also promises the game will be sold at a "low price point." |
