Grim Dawn, from the makers of Titan Quest
Grim Dawn, from the makers of Titan Quest
Hi everyone, I've been reading and reading these forums ever since I downloaded the Mac demo of Eschalon: Book 1 a week or so ago. Anyway, one of the subsections that I enjoy the most is Role-Playing Games and it surprised me that no-one has mentioned Grim Dawn, the opera prima of Crave Entertainment (made of former Iron Lore Interactive members).
It's basically a very dark and grim Victorian Era take on Titan Quest (more akin to Diablo now). Their forums are also very friendly and full of RPG lovers like here.
Here are some freshly released pictures of the pre-alpha version:

Personally Grim Dawn is one of my most anticipated games of 2011 (if it comes in 2011). Really loved Titan Quest so have high hopes for this game as well.
By the way...it's Crate Entertainment

Re: Grim Dawn, from the makers of Titan Quest
I'm necromancing this thread since they just posted a gameplay video of the Occultist class. Titan Quest is my favorite hack n slash, loot-fest, dungeon crawl aRPG so I'm obviously excited about this upcoming game. Enjoy:

I thought it was pretty badass myself.

Re: Grim Dawn, from the makers of Titan Quest
I liked titan quest but the camera always irritated me.
Of course that didnt stop me from playing it
This game looks great as well.

Re: Grim Dawn, from the makers of Titan Quest
As it did a lot of people. I'm fairly active at the Grim Dawn forums and this is something that definitely has been discussed. If you notice, the camera gets rotated several times in the video and it has been confirmed that the camera is freely movable now (well, rotatable, not sure if you can change the angle to more overhead or more ground level).blatherbeard wrote:I liked titan quest but the camera always irritated me.

Re: Grim Dawn, from the makers of Titan Quest
Rotateable is great, id just settle for a good distance from the toon. (which looks like they did a good job with this time) My gripe was more that you couldnt see enemies coming because it was too close to the toon.sirdilznik wrote: As it did a lot of people.

Re: Grim Dawn, from the makers of Titan Quest
Just a heads up: Crate Entertainment has just launched a Kickstarter campaign for Grim Dawn. It only launched a few hours ago, but they're already up to 10% of their goal, so a pretty positive start. Check it out:

Re: Grim Dawn, from the makers of Titan Quest
Im sure this game will rock. Ive never played titan quest or any affiliated, but ive read very good reviews from people who played. The people who played say that its one of the best rpgs made. hopefully gog will release this someday.

Re: Grim Dawn, from the makers of Titan Quest
I had pre-purchased from them at the normal level (no perks) - just upgraded to the $35 package on Kickstarter for the perks that interested me - looks like they are doing well so far, for just over a day in:
2,035 Backers
$92,673 pledged of $280,000 goal
30 days to go
This project will only be funded if at least $280,000 is pledged by Friday May 18, 11:59pm EDT.

Re: Grim Dawn, from the makers of Titan Quest
I consider Titan Quest to be the best loot em up ever made. I know it's blasphemy to say that any game in the genre is better than Diablo 2, but IMHO Titan Quest is better then Diablo 2.deathknight1728 wrote:Im sure this game will rock.

I was already a backer of this game before the Kickstarter, but I bumped myself up to the Digital Deluxe Edition tier.
It's crazy they got both a 4k and a 8k pledge. That's amazingly generous! It's very likely that they'll meet and exceed their goal of 280k.

I cant agree, even if its just for the camera position and ease of the game.
I remember banging my head against the wall repeatedly in D2, on most every level, where in TQ i only got frustrated at the very end of the game, and i never even had an urge to beat it on a higher difficulty.
Although i will admit i did still love the game which will be the biggest reason i play the new one, and will probabaly love it as well.

Re: Grim Dawn, from the makers of Titan Quest
The Grim Dawn Kickstarter just met its funding goal with 11 days to spare. Now it's just a matter of how much they surpass their goal by. This game is going to kick so much ass. It will be some time still until I get to play this bad boy, luckily I'll have Torchlight 2 to help pass the time until then.

Re: Grim Dawn, from the makers of Titan Quest
Who's got two thumbs and is playing the Grim Dawn alpha? This guy.
Really stable for an alpha build, zero crashes and glitches so far. Having a total blast playing it. Crate Entertainment definitely know how to make a loot em' up.
