Wasteland The Wasteland 2 Beta Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

What about those of us that miss shooting the groin in Fallout.

We're people too, you know.

 

[Bubbles]

You can do that in Star Wars: The Old Republic, now free for all to play.

Nice catch. That's by Leonard too: http://www.leonardboyarsky.com/images/Concepts/concept05.html

Look at him. He's just bursting with joy working at Blizzard.
Dreaming of Fallout neon lights...

I guess his Troika experience was pretty traumatic if he is able to subject himself to such travesty.


I hope Blizzard goes bankrupt just to see his next endeavours.

So you also have to push all the red buttons, like me. And that is what you get from this.

Level 10 Demolitions and still can't disarm that thing.

Does anybody else hear an instant messaging program's "ding" sound at 2:15-2:16? It's in the MP3 that comes with the Early Access too.

 

[shihonage]

No.

Me tings you imaginin' dings mon

 

[Infinitron]

No, there's definitely something there. It's really faint, though - you have to turn the volume up.

 

[SniperHF]

I hear the 'ding', but I think it's just a faint pluck of the guitar string sound.

 

[Cazzeris]

Yeah, I can hear something too.

But I wouldn't identify it as an instant messaging program's "ding" sound. Though it really sounds similar.

 

[Zorba the Hutt]

This calls for a megathread!

 

[Jaesun]

Love the music. <3

 

[undecaf]

Love the music. <3

Mark is a fucking wizard. A lot can be said of the game, but the music is damn excellent.

EDIT - How much of the whole OST is that? Half? Third? 5/6th? ...

 

[DosBuster]

Gah, I sent Brian a message as to when the backer copies are going to be shipped. Brother None, can we get a bit of communication as to how shipping will be pulled off? Also, backer box shots! Please, I must see these boxes!

Also, anyone else curious as to how only online retailers are selling boxed copies? No brick and mortar stores are selling Wasteland 2.. a shame really.

 

[Roguey]

I remember reading a thing where inXile told them that everything's being handled by Deep Silver so they need to contact them and then Deep Silver said that they needed to contact inXile.

So the answer is no one knows, it's a mess.

 

[Zed]

No, there's definitely something there. It's really faint, though - you have to turn the volume up.

that's a string tap

Wow, this is cool: https://twitter.com/spiritedgeek/status/505475811659378688

Someone found my Easter Egg in Wasteland 2. Muwahaha! >

The best of them all. A file in the gamefiles called "Diskette". This is the program that runs on the "snake" arcade machine in Rangers Citadel. The Arcade machine is in reality a emulator. It can run any 6205 game (The Comandore 64 was based of a modified 6502 processor) that you save in place of the "diskette" file. The file can be found here:
C:\Users\"user"\Documents\My Games\Wasteland2\Drive1

This is the explanation text from the "diskette" file:
Greetings programs! You might be wondering what this file is. This is Vargas's Snake game on the computer in Ranger Citadel. More specifically it's a program for a computer based on a 6502 processor... which we here at inXile emulated within the game. Replace this file with your own 6502 program and you have your very own 1980's 64k computer! Programs are loaded into memory location $7000, keyboard input at $FFF0, random number at $FFFA. Look at the code of this game to get hints on how to access the graphics (low res 32x32 and high res 160x160) and text mode. We even created a special font for text based games. There's lots of great resources online for programming for the 6502. Relive the glory of the computers of the 80's. From everyone here at inXile, a huge thank you to our backers for making Wasteland 2 a reality. Many of us started programming on 6502 based machines. They hold a special place in history and in our hearts. Just like the original Wasteland. We wanted to throw in a little Easter Egg for our backers who also remember peeking and poking and seeing '0x20' and thinking 'Jump'. Be sure to share your programs on our Wasteland 2 forum at inxile-entertainment.com! We'll have more helpful dev info there (full memory mapping details, soft switches, code snippets, etc) once people begin to discover this Easter Egg. Happy coding! -inXile

Best Easter egg I've ever seen...

-ED-

tl;dr They implemented a Commodore 64 processor emulator in the game!

ok, that's actually pretty cool.

 

[buzz]

How about implementing a good game in the game?

 

[Zorba the Hutt]

That was unexpected. Brings backs a few memories of my C64 days.

And we have a Codexer who programmed "over 250 games for the C64"...
