Torchlight 2 announced for Spring 2011 [update]

@Cleric
The press release says they are. At one point they were talking about bringing torchlight to the Xbox. What ever happen to that?

I also heard PS3 release as well...

@Rollins
for $5 on a steam sale nothing should stop you from buying it

@xakari
I bought it for $5 on Steam and haven't played it much. It's not fun enough to stand on it's own (without multiplayer). Also there are some pretty rudimentary things they got wrong that are incredibly annoying:

1. When you send your pet to sell your crap, the game shouldn't pause with a giant billboard "pop up" that tells you your pet is back and how much money he made. That totally interrupts the flow of the game. All they needed to do was have the pet bark or meow (or whatever) and have some numbers float above your head like what happens when you pick up some gold. How could they not know this would be so annoying? Didn't they playtest the game? In what world is it a good idea to interrupt a massive boss battle (or horde of minions attacking you) so your pet can tell you how much money he made while he was gone?

2. Similar thing with fishing. You don't need to click an OK box every time!

3. What's up with the long loading times? It takes 20-30 seconds to bring up the character select screen, then 20-30 seconds to load the town, then 20-30 seconds to load the dungeon. You're talking up to a minute and a half before you can even go dungeon crawling!

4. And of course, the big one: MULTIPLAYER! What's the point in decking out my character in awesome gear if I can't show it off to anybody and make them jealous? Or give my old gear to my friends to help them out.

So, I fell for the trick you just tried to play. People told me you couldn't go wrong for $5 and I believed them. Well, all I can say is that I wasted $5.

@Deozaan
And one more thing:

The music sounded just like Diablo 2 (I know it was composed by the same person) which was great, don't get me wrong, but it just made me wish I was playing Diablo 2 because it's clearly the better game.

@Deozaan
dude it was $5, thats one less time of eating at mcdonalds that week

@Crimson Major

Man, if only Steam would put things back on sale more than once. OH WELL, looks like you're out of luck here, friend. ;)

@xakari

@Ashkental how sad is our society today, that we shun a good game over lack on online functionalityl

@MicahR
Who am I kidding? I will get Torchlight 2 and Magicka.
