Wasteland inXile's Wasteland 1 Re-Release

[Brother None]

We have Deep Silver helping on all of that stuff so shouldn't be an issue. We'll see, I'll probably know more closer to release. Old-school box is old-school box.

 

[Stabwound]

Yes, the "look it up" text should be patched in.

Paragraph book texts will be integrated into the game.

Fucking awesome.

This is some great incline out of nowhere that I never would have expected.

Where will this be available? Is it going to be the version given to all WL2 backers? I want to get my hands on this new version, fucked up portraits or not.

This doesn't instill confidence... your PR skills are lacking on this one

It'll likely go out on GOG and Steam. All WL2 backers get this version, yes.

I'm not PR.

I know that but you seem to be InXile's waterboy around here so.......

Spoiler

just fooling with you

What do you people have against reading paragraph books, that was fun

True, when you have the actual printed paragraph book. Alt+tabbing isn't a whole lot of fun though.

Plus it shows they've actually invested some effort into this rerelease and not just redrawn the portraits and added a new Mark Morgan tune. I hope they fix the bugs as well while they're at it. (And introduce some surprise easter eggs of course so I have the reason to actually replay the game. )

You people play those games on full screen?

 

[Stabwound]

There is really no good argument for having the text in a booklet that you have to read. The only purpose it serves is copy protection, and it's a sheer fucking annoyance today. It doesn't add anything to the game at all, especially these days when any version of the game you can buy comes with a thing in PDF format.

Also memory limit/disk space limit supposedly.

It's more beautiful that way with scaler lol.

 

[Excidium]

Yeah, each pixel the size of your hand.

I think it's smaller than that. Or the screen will be too big.

 

[Bubbles]

Surprising (?) how many people here haven't played it. I really think it's an easy game to play compared to many from that time.

One of the easiest RPGs of all time, I'd say.

 

[Excidium]

I found it p. boring.

 

[FeelTheRads]

I'm not specifically talking about the difficulty (even though it's pretty easy) but about how it plays in general. Once you set a couple of macros for the most used functions, you're done.

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

Day one torrent.

 

[FeelTheRads]

Paragraph book texts will be integrated into the game.

But... the Martian invasion?

There's your EE content! Crooked Bee

It'll likely go out on GOG and Steam. All WL2 backers get this version, yes.

So by backers do you mean just the Kickstarter backers, or do you also include those who pre-ordered/backed from the website?

All backers, late (PayPal) backers included.

I see your filthy attempt at brofist harvesting there! Rest assured that I will not... not...

NGHHHHH!

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Oh, neat. I was getting kind of cranky that Inxile hadn't bundled Wasteland with Dosbox and stuck it on Steam and given me a key yet, but Enhanced Director's Diamond of the Year Wasteland 1 is possibly worth the wait.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Will it be moddable?

Rusty Skill Sets

What do you people have against reading paragraph books, that was fun

Will not embed this Youtube 'feature' by Bunny Hop, almost a half hour.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XLaWSlJbFU

Watch if you like, 5 to 10 minutes.

Politely smirk as two couch astronauts show up at a 1980's era video game (pardon the sports analogy) 'with out their socks pulled up'.

They did do some home work, but were not ready to play the game @ 110%.

Flat line in the fundamentals? Skill set rusty or ... never nurtured?

Spoon feeding 101, read the rules, and then WORK at your play.

YES, that was / is book work, that was / is part of the game,

the hidden 'pay to play' that one dealt with or you don't leave the bench.

Never get beyond the flashing DOS cursors ... sat and watched the world go by.
