Planescape: Torment - Enhanced Edition mit Zoom, Quickloot und anderen Features

Planescape: Torment - Enhanced Edition bietet im Vergleich zum Original viele Neuerungen und Komfortfunktionen.

Kurz nach der Ankündigung des Rollenspiel-Remasters Planescape: Torment - Enhanced Edition hat Beamdog jetzt weitere Details bekannt gegeben.

So wird die überarbeitete Version des Rollenspielklassikers nicht nur eine 4K-Auflösung, sondern auch eine Zoomfunktion, Quickloot sowie Textänderungen durch Chris Avellone bieten. Außerdem soll es durch die Verknüpfung mit Steam unter anderem Achievemts, Cloud-Save sowie Stream Trading Cards geben.

Des Weiteren hat das Team die Ladepausen beim Wechsel zwischen verschiedenen Arealen abgeschafft. Das dürfte dem allgemeinen Spielfluss sehr zugute kommen. Hier die Übersicht der Änderungen im Vergleich zum Original:
