Game News Wasteland 2 Kickstarter Now Live!

That would have happened independently from the 2.1M$ goal, didn't Avellone pledged 10K$?

 

No.

 

He needs to make A LOT of pictures. You know the drill. Pics or didn't happen.

 

It ends at 3,2
I have talent to predict things since i fell to the well as kid.

 

So that BBgun was yours?*

Well, this was nobrainer i wrote for no reason... but now i know where i get this idea,detective Havoc.

 

Makes me wonder if it does get close to Double Fine's total if people won't up their pledges to "beat" the 3.3m mark. May sound silly but have you read some of the comments on the Kickstarter page? At every milestone it's like a basketball game with everyone cheering on and it feels very competitive. The mob mentality may take over and it's not about funding a game anymore but let's show how "our funding total will beat that other guys funding total."

 

Even though an RPG really should have more budget than an adventure game, I don't think it'll get that far. The adventure game genre + doublefine in the house assured itself some overall success from old school gamers in general because it was a dying genre and you had tim and ron together on it. Plus nobody really bitches about not having third person/first person view in an adventure game, the industry hasn't gotten its bullshit rebranding claws on the genre prior to this.

Now with wasteland 2 you have a lot more people turned away because wtf isometric and turn based that's not how you do old school rpgs like skyrim these days man.

 

I don't think it will get to 3m myself but my hypothesis was that IF it got close for many it would be more about "beating" Double Fines total not about the game itself. Psychology is a funny thing M:

 

If Brian Fargo is reading this, he should do more video updates. They don't need to be professional things with actors, just record yourself talking about the game and updates rather than just text things.

It helps.

 

Unless some more bomb shells are going to be dropped, I find it hard to believe this will manage 3.0 million. I think 2.5 is realistic, and perhaps 2.75 with an unbelievable late surge. As much as I would love to see Brian with a 3 mil budget, I can't see it happening.

 

I agree.

And bah, guess they took Good Friday off.

Oh well, we passed $2.1M, so that's cool.

Yeah, Wallin's piece. It's not out yet, but I've seen it and agree with Fargo, it's p sweet. Fairly standard pose-wise, but a nice atmospheric first look.

Waiting for more updates, I guess.

 

I'll give Fargo the benefit of the doubt and say he's been running around getting things into place. 10 minutes in front of a camera shouldn't be that difficult though, not when you're funded for the full duration. Just do it live and wherever like the shadowrun guy.

 

I think you're all underestimating the late burst. I can see 3.5 Mil+.

 

I don't know what model (it cdould be magic) they are using but kicktraq predicts $2,955,180

http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/inxile/wasteland-2/

 

They are using the magic called averages. Which means it's the dumbest prediction ever. That said even though their method is retarded I think the prediction itself is sorta accurate if this project has a similar finish to DF.

 

Yeah, I've calculated it. The formula seems like to be Total = hourly_average * total_hours_in_the_run . Pretty lame as I've thought. I was thinking they would conjure a stochastic model with the data they have from other projects..

 

MCA in the next vid with his shirt off and an announcement that TC will be directly involved as well=WIN.

 

Really he should do a vid with MCA and Tim Cain. Or show some people from In Inxile at least. Not only himself. I really want Wasteland to get as large a budget as it is possible. This is really only kickstarter game that promises grandeur of old crpgs. And the one I'm most looking forward to.

 

If he does that all sweaty after he returns from a 2 hour long session at his gym=3mil here we come

 

Welp, here it is, it's begun.
