Our initial proposal was a humble one - a reveal-all AMA with George Ziets, probably the only person at inXile who still has our community's trust. Jim told us he was seeking to make peace with the Codex, and that he was willing to hear our demands. It may not be a coincidence that shortly after its release, we received an entreaty from inXile PR representative Jim Redner. And now that it has been a month and a half since the release of Torment: Tides of Numenera, it's quite clear that the game has not been a success.
Our friends at the Codex (who can be real drama queens sometimes) are talking with inXile Entertainment again: RPG Codex Report: A Codexian Visit to inXile EntertainmentĮver since Techland canceled our interview with Brian Fargo last year, our relations with InXile have been strained, to say the least. It is not your normal game, and is much better for it. If you like games where you must think deeply and act consciously, buy Torment: Tides of Numenera. Its audio is moody rather than modern and its gameplay recalls strategic pen and paper RPGs instead of the real-time combat in most modern games. It doesn’t have the graphics of a Grand Theft Auto but its images are dreamy and artistic rather than hyper-realistic. In that way, I think Torment: Tides of Numenera is greater than the sum of its parts. The measured pace of this game makes room for deeper thought rather than the frantic emotions a first-person shooter elicits. It is a true computer role-playing game (CRPG) that concentrates on story rather than just an endless supply of re-skinned targets. This small piece of dialogue from the turn based role-playing game Torment: Tides of Numenera encapsulates what I love about it.
