I didn't find the concept art that impressive. Kind of struck me as 'generic shooter cover art'. I was kind of hoping the first piece of art to be some sort of location artwork.

Colonel nothing you'll read will make you like the game.

It isn't spectacular, that's for sure. But if you think the concept of the game, art like that can turn into something spectacular.

EDIT, and like TESfanner said, if you're determined to be sceptical the way you've presented yourself as, nothing'll make you happy. Although, sometimes miracles do happen. When New Vegas was announced (so quickly after FO3) I was genuinely expecting something else than Fallout 3 with better story and narrative design, but with only somewhat better gameplay - yet I ended up loving the game (all but the gameplay).

BTW, you still haven't answered to my question.

Once again, I have to say, the attention this game gets here is "astounding". No real friends of oldschool RPG's here, aside from the few really cool people (who pledged, or otherwise supported the project) in this thread.

I just wish it wasn't gonna be top-down, I do not particularly like that viewpoint.

I have no money to pledge. I've given money to the AVGN movie and Order of the Stick kickstarter. I'm tapped out for now.

It will most likely be ISOmetric (or Cavalier Obligue like Fallout), so there's nothing to really worry about. Unless if by "top down" you mean not FPP.


If you ever happen to have an extra $15 (or even lower, $1 is the lowest pledge), pledge it. Every bit helps, and you get to be part of the resurrection of the "oldschool RPG's".

doublepost...

I guess it will depend on the distance from the avatar but I would prefer a more 3rd person type, just not over the shoulder.

You'll be likely disappointed then. But I hope you'll be interested enough about the other features.

I wasn't expecting the work of Michaelangelo. I was just expecting something relevant. But you don't get anything relative out of it other than a coterrie of survivors. I suppose it's vaguelly relevent. But I dunno, for some reason, world art sells the idea of what a game is going for more than a character art. But who knows perhaps it's going to be the 'main cast' of the game.

Also, I just check back, in regards to your question, objectively? No. It's not worth making. But to me personally, if a game seems appealing, and has an appealing plot, then sure, I think it's worth making. But that's just it, we don't know a single thing about Wasteland 2's concept, what it has in store, etc. granted these things come in time, but you get the idea.

I don't like anything. *Cue grouch eyes*

The setting/history and the fact that it will be for OSX is enough to peak my interests. If I could invest I would especially because this


would be so [censored] sweet.

I actually like 3d one like that in Syndicate War. Allowing me to spin the scene and find those little tricky corners for easter eggs or other fun stuff. Brings a new dimension on puzzle solving or isometic combat.

Then it is, quite simply, not your game. Your "relevant" wasn't in the scope of this. This game is for people who wanted it to happen, and you are not one of those people. You will not get the benefits from a FPP game, you will not get the benefits from an OTS game, you'll get a turnbased game with all the benefits it possessess.
If the premise of this game is not what you want, perhaps you should stop posting here. No offence. If you want to learn more about this game, just ask and you will be given the info.

You're officially one of the most cool people in the world if you pledged.

You're completely misunderstanding me. My skepticism isn't 'HURR DURR, ME WANT L33T RANK IN T3H COD RANKS' or whatever makes shooters. I enjoy games with a rich world, rich lore, and a lot to do, both in quests and content. I can enjoy a turn based game with no problem at all. It's just that I don't know much about the world. I can adapt to any technical gameplay perspective with no issue. I toggle between Fallout, 2, Tactics, and 3 and NV for example. My wonder is what the WORLD will be like. What kind of shops will we encounter? What diverse cultures will exist in the various settlements? What ways will we find remnants of the world that is lost to us? etc etc, those are the kind of questions that matter to me, not 'Can we have scope kills' or whatever is a common FPS feature.

As for the reason I'm here, I'm mainly here because it's the game that inspired Fallout, and if something like that could inspire a beautiful work of art like Fallout and Fallout 2, it has to be an amazing game, and based on wiki content I've read on these games, I hope Wasteland 2's potential development ensures a rerelease of Wasteland so I can get my hands on it.

Can't wait for this. Haven't played a good "old-school" RPG in awhile. Never played the original wasteland, but I've played Fallout and Fallout 2, loved them both.

I wonder what it's going to look like. I can imagine it will be isometric, or some form of it. I wonder what the graphical fidelity will be like? Resolution? Min Specs?

It's barely even started development and I'm already itching for details, looks like it's going to be a long wait

Let's hope they use today's graphics (But with a isometric view)
The Fallout 1 resolution is a bad-told joke. x_x

I'd say Fallout 1 was perfectly in/a head of it's time for a game made in 1997.

For it's time of course. I'm saying it as of now. (Through I know the injustice of doing so)
I was playing it the other day and Shady Sands could fill my entire monitor, but no... I must go street by street. *suicide*

I doubt it would be as super fancy as some other modern games, but I don't think that graphics are the point here anyway.

I haven't played the first Wasteland, but I'm keeping an open-mind about the sequel. If it turns out really good storyline and depth-wise, graphics won't even factor into my decision to buy.

That's your problem. Specifically.

What do you mean? I'm not being rude. I still think it's a good game, but its build is, by current standards, vastly underwhelming with some games. But I find its plot and world more compelling than most any game of today. Graphics are a quantity, but gameplay is a quality. Fallout has a good mix of both IMO. Then again, I'm not very picky over graphics.

No you're not. That's true. But what are you doing in this thread, if not trying to do harm for it, if you're not pledging. I mean, this is not your ordinay Beth game where everyone is to give their pledges and then go away to hope for something special. This is a Kickstarter game, where people come to give pledges to stuff they want to see.

We aren't allowed to discuss the merits or demerits of this game, this distribution model, nothing? Is gathering donations the only purpose of the thread? Wouldn't that count as advertising, then?
