<span style="font-weight: bold;">Q1: What sets Titan Quest apart from its predecessors and competition?</span><br>
<b>A:</b> The biggest difference is our historical/mythological topic. Offhand, I do not know of any notable role playing game with a similar topic. A second difference is the quality of the graphics in <b><a href="http://www.hypemakers.net/titan/go/c/62/s/172/u/171" target=_blank>the game<img src="http://www.hypemakers.net/titan/view/v/s/c/62/s/172/u/171" width="1" height="1" border="0"></a></b>. The game is stunningly beautiful when played, even more so than you can see from the screenshots. Another difference is our editor, which allows you to create incredible looking levels with minimal effort.<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Q2: Were there any games that served as inspiration for Titan Quest?</span><br>
<b>A:</b> I think of Titan Quest roughly as a cross between Diablo and Age of Empires. We get the genre and fast-action gameplay from Diablo, and the historical topic, <b><a href="http://www.hypemakers.net/titan/go/c/63/s/172/u/171" target=_blank>gorgeous graphics</a></b>, and high production values from Age of Empires.<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Q3: Both this game and God Of War for PS2 are based on the mythological world of Greece. Are there any other similarities that Titan Quest will share with God of War?</span><br>
<b>A:</b> Despite the topic, these are very different games, being in different genres and on different <b><a href="http://www.hypemakers.net/titan/go/c/64/s/172/u/171" target=_blank>platforms</a></b>. We hope, in addition to the mythological topic, we will have similar game review scores!<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Q4: A game such as this will require an epic soundtrack, who will be the composer(s) and will there be a soundtrack released?</span><br>
<b>A:</b> The score for Titan Quest is comprised of music written by Iron Lore’s Scott Morton and Mike Verrette. Instead of being completely linear, however, the music tends to be broken up into snippets (or “stingers” and played at key points during the game, or when the player has reached interesting locations. Our ambient music system also supports variation to a certain degree by stitching together melodies and drones to make musical tapestries. These dynamically-built pieces accompany the player on their general explorations and <b><a href="http://www.hypemakers.net/titan/go/c/65/s/172/u/171" target=_blank>monster-hacking</a></b>. The historically-influenced score combined with these music playback methods in the game make for a very fresh and immersive experience, aurally-speaking. There is a possibility of a soundtrack release on a later date, after the game has shipped.
ok, when you play, what weapons do you take with you?
do you take ONLY the enssential weapons? or do you take 1 weapon of each kind? (1 saber, 1 gun, 1 sword.......)
for example.....whiteninja takes the essential items (i think)
i take 1 claw, 1 mech........because i like to change sometimes and because my bank is full of items, but i also take 3 handguns because they are usefull to me.
so......what do you take?
In the next issue of GameInformer is the full story on this gorgeous looking FPS called Red Steel for the new Nintendo. I can't wait.
Also EGM have printed rumours concerning the re-appearence of Pilotwings as well. About time too really. This was a lovely game on N64 and will obviously be perfectly suited for the Revmote.
Finally after months ( literally) i got it, the agito is mine!!!

more importantly i have the oritiagito!!!!
OMFG its sooooooo great!!!

When will it all end? Will the fire in the distance burn out? or rage on? Will it all matter in the end? All I know for sure is this............. I HAVE RETURNED AND WILL NOT BE SILENCED UNTIL YOU HAVE HEEDED MY WARNING. (2 things, 1 figure out what the hell i'm talking about. 2 I will return in 1 week to answer any questions. and do some more ranting.) Anyone who has been here prior to october the 10th of 2005 may remeber me. (i'm the guy who denounced this place and got alot of people pissed off) I BACK BIOTCH t('.'t)
