Are these just the previous games remastered, or is there going to be any new content? Unfortunately, from the page it seems like the former.

Of possible interest to Torchlight fans, certain interest to me!

Glad to see this getting some love even if it's just a visual remaster.
Thanks for the inform!

I always thought these were the actual, literal predecessors to Torchlight.

Reason being when your pet returned, I could swear it's the same exact VA saying "Your pet has returned".

I wonder if there are any people in common working for both Runic when Torchlight came out and WildTangent when Fate was developed.

Wow! I'm surprised to see that they are doing this. It should be fun.

At least one of the FATE developers did, indeed, go on to become a Torchlight developer (EDIT: Travis Baldree). The Torchlight team came from both FATE and Diablo.

I would have bet it was the same voice actor doing the pet lines, at least.

I haven't played these (and only 1 and 2) since I "tried them" back when they were new.

Note that I haven't "tried" games in such an unconscionable manner in a very, very long time. I blame Steam. But it will be nice to purchase these, still. Call it amends.

I just checked the "pet announcement" voice on both games. They definitely sound very different to me. The voice on FATE is softer, almost breathy. The Torchlight voice has a strong accent that the FATE voice does not have: "Yoah pet has depotted." The pitch of the voice for FATE is fairly steady, but the pitch of the Torchlight voice varies much more than the FATE voice.

Conclusion: probably not the same voice actor, unless the actor is acting out a different style of voice for the different games.

I also checked the manuals for FATE and TL1 and the credits list the following voice talents:

Voice Talent

Henry Dardennes
Lynn McManus
Dave White
John Patrick Lowrie


Voice Talents

Lani Minella
Sam Mowry
Eric Newsome
Tim Simmons
Marc Biagi
Bill Corkery
Mark Rose
Dave Rivas

I can't find a manual for TL2 but I think the voice announcing the pet is the same for both TL1 and TL2.

You do yeoman's work, HiFive. Thanks!

Well, I was curious, too. I'm glad you found the information interesting.
