Talos Principle 3 Got Announced!
On Tuesday I was surprised by the news that the Talos Principle 3 has been announced!
Here's the Steam page and more will be revealed during the Triple-I Initiative stream on Thursday, October 8. Also here's a Reddit link.
I'm so fucking excited. That's the only way I can express how happy I am because I don't have the words to express how excited I am for this game to come out. TTP is my favorite puzzle game series of all time, and this is the final game, bar any DLC.
It is bittersweet that this will be the last Talos Principle game I'll be able to experience for the first time, but I'm glad that the series will get a definitive ending, unlike other game series like Halo, which has become a zombie. And we don’t have to wait 9 years for a new game!
I love the games optimism and hope for humanity, I love the philosophy, I love the characters, I love the puzzles, of course. It's a game where you learn something along with having fun and actually think about what you believe and why you believe it.
I can't figure out how to naturally transition to this: TTP2 is where I was introduced to perhaps my favorite quote:
“I think pessimism is completely out of date. I think that's a romantic indulgence. I don't think anybody can afford to be pessimistic anymore. I mean, there's so much that can go wrong, optimism is the only thing possible anymore. I've always thought that an optimist was a person who knew exactly how sad a place the world could be and a pessimist is a man who finds out anew every morning. That's the real difference. I'm obviously optimistic because you simply have to be. It's an obligation to be optimistic.”
—Peter Ustinov
If you like puzzle games, beautiful environments, philosophy, questions about life, the universe, and what it means to be human, then go play this game right now. There is a lot of reading.
Here are some screenshots I’ve taken (all from TTP2 because I didn’t take any non-computer entry screenshots):
