With the way the 'Dex obsesses over the personal appearance and lives of devs, I have the suspicion there's a gap in the gossip magazine market.

I am shocked he's only 57, he was all of 21 when he founded Interplay.

Chris Keenan, the younger dude across from him, worked at Interplay in the 1990s when he was a teenager. I think he isn't 40 yet.

It's a young man's industry. When we started playing these games as kids we imagined they were made by serious distant grown-ups, but in fact your favorite RPGs were likely made by people who weren't much older than you.

Yes, but they get older slower. He looked alright a year or two, now he looks like he got older by 10 years since then.
Yes, Brian Fargo still looked fairly fit as recently as 2018. :M

Fargo looks old :(

I really wish Wasteland 3 will be a great game, a decent legacy and send-off to a man that really lives and breathes RPGs. You might not like all of fargo's sales talks and games, but I have no doubt his ambitions are genuine and his heart true.

Death and time comes for us all. My beard and hair has already starting greying only ever so slightly, and i'm only 34..

Do you really believe we, humble basement dwellers, are able to recognize if someone has dyed his hair in natural colour? Dear Cosmo, you may be the only person in this thread to be able to accomplish such a feat. You also get to the top of "possibly woman" list of codexers.

They did a whole update on the Collector's Edition but no beta release date?

https://www.fig.co/campaigns/wasteland-3/updates/1150

Collector's Edition Revealed

Wasteland 3 Collector’s Edition backers, we’ve got a treat for you that’s hotter than a reactor core on overload. Fresh from the irradiated forge we have our first images to share.

Before we get to it, we’re gonna ask that you take a seat and buckle in. You might also want to pour yourself some Snake Squeezin’s because the hype is real, and we are here for it. (We already dipped into our own bottle of Squeezin’s. Whatever, let’s proceed.)

We got pretty excited with this Collector’s Edition and wanted to make it the biggest and best we’ve ever done. We hope you like it.

Apocalyptic Aperitif

Ok, let’s dig in. To all who backed at the Collector’s Edition levels, you can expect to receive this fanciful 11”x12”x13” box (that’s over 1,700 cubic inches!) featuring placid greetings of a Colorado that once was…

https%3A%2F%2Fplayfig.s3.amazonaws.com%2FCampaignMediaItem%2Fimage%2Fcampaign_media_item%2F2020%2F02%2F06%2F0d50c7e3-6667-4eaa-b068-d61c9928631d


Removing the sleeve of the “wrapped” package reveals the ominous landscape of a burned out and frozen-over Colorado. Welcome to Colorful Colorado indeed…

https%3A%2F%2Fplayfig.s3.amazonaws.com%2FCampaignMediaItem%2Fimage%2Fcampaign_media_item%2F2020%2F02%2F06%2F8bd4a221-631a-4b63-9e7f-2576018fb349


https%3A%2F%2Fplayfig.s3.amazonaws.com%2FCampaignMediaItem%2Fimage%2Fcampaign_media_item%2F2020%2F02%2F06%2F31f45406-4a0d-4257-be0c-30913a13cf1e

First Course
Placed gingerly atop the outer shell and protective foam are the first items. Let’s talk first about the cassette tape. This retro mixtape secretly hides an 8GB USB stick, which is where you’ll find the Wasteland 3 soundtrack, as well as your manual for the game.

https%3A%2F%2Fplayfig.s3.amazonaws.com%2FCampaignMediaItem%2Fimage%2Fcampaign_media_item%2F2020%2F02%2F06%2F47e34989-f75e-4c06-8d30-fa30e837bc01


You’ll be able to proudly display your service to the Desert Rangers with a hefty metal keychain, as well as General Vargas’ very own dog tags. Pour one out, may he rest in peace.

https%3A%2F%2Fplayfig.s3.amazonaws.com%2FCampaignMediaItem%2Fimage%2Fcampaign_media_item%2F2020%2F02%2F06%2F8279e350-f151-4bb7-a7c5-65454a52dc9a


Digging deeper into this buffet, collectors will find the Wasteland Survival Guide, a tome passed down through the Ranger ranks containing information collected about the world from the perspective of the Rangers (although it seems Scotchmo got ahold of it at one point). Next is the Wasteland 3 Art Book, an overview of the visual evolution of the characters, weapons, locations, and more that went into the development of Wasteland 3. Rounding out our reference material is a cloth map of Colorado, which mirrors the in-game map.

We’re going to keep the contents of these a secret until you get ahold of them, and of course fair warning they contain spoilers aplenty for the game.

The Main Course

Within the magnetically-sealed outer cityscape, we have the big reveal, and we mean it when we say we’ve saved the beast for last.

https%3A%2F%2Fplayfig.s3.amazonaws.com%2FCampaignMediaItem%2Fimage%2Fcampaign_media_item%2F2020%2F02%2F06%2F10b9ae33-d52d-4cdd-9af3-83f9b0858fb0


At 8” tall, a hand-painted Scorpitron stands atop the crumbling remnants of society, as a mushroom cloud rises over downtown Denver. The Collector’s Edition isn’t just a box to hold stuff, it transforms into a story-filled diorama fit for any display case.

The Scorpitron is shipped in three pieces, with the body standing on a sturdy base and magnetically connected tail and front gun array. It’s easy to unpack and set up this very limited-edition statue.

https%3A%2F%2Fplayfig.s3.amazonaws.com%2FCampaignMediaItem%2Fimage%2Fcampaign_media_item%2F2020%2F02%2F06%2F1f02aefa-c7f4-4d4f-89f8-ee2af7b79a4e


Soup to Nuts
It gives us immense pleasure to share the final version of the Wasteland 3 Collector’s Edition with you. We want to extend a heartfelt thanks to all our supporters and hope that this preview tantalizes all our Collector’s Edition backers who have been anxious for what’s in store for them.

Wasteland 3 of course releases May 19, 2020 for Windows, Mac, Linux, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and we’re looking forward to getting the game into your hands.

https%3A%2F%2Fplayfig.s3.amazonaws.com%2FCampaignMediaItem%2Fimage%2Fcampaign_media_item%2F2020%2F02%2F06%2F04f0589a-4925-4a4a-abd4-8267eb812233

FAQ

Q: I got a signed Collector’s Edition; how does that work?
A: Lucky you! The Signed Collector’s Editions include an additional removable outer sleeve which contains all of our terrible penmanship… in real ink!

https%3A%2F%2Fplayfig.s3.amazonaws.com%2FCampaignMediaItem%2Fimage%2Fcampaign_media_item%2F2020%2F02%2F05%2F73013016-27f7-4b65-941c-7f40b09f9566


Q: I’m a proud supporter of the Wasteland 3 Collector’s Edition! Is there anything else I need to do?
A: We recommend all backers log into Crowd Ox to ensure your contact and shipping info is correct.

Q: I didn’t buy a Collector’s Edition, can I still do that?
A: This Collector’s Edition was only available to Fig backers during the campaign while it was active. The backer campaign ended in late 2017 and all post-campaign backing has been closed.

Q: Will any of the items included in the Collector’s Edition be available separately?
A: Our intention is to keep the Collector’s Edition as exclusive as possible. If physical merch is something you’re interested in though, it’s best to keep an eye on the @Wasteland Twitter account as it’ll likely appear there.

Q: Is a physical copy of the game also included with the Collector’s Edition?
A: We decided against physical copies as it allowed us to put that cost into things like the Scorpitron statue, USB cassette, and upgrades we made to the materials, box, and packaging. Collector’s Edition backers will be receiving digital codes for the platform of their choosing.

Q: When do we get to pick our digital code platform?
A: Soon! Keep an eye on your email and be sure to check Crowd Ox as surveys will be going out before too much longer regarding Steam/GOG and Xbox One/PlayStation 4 platform choices depending on your pledge level and addons.

Q: I backed the game but wish I had gotten a Collector’s Edition. :(
A: We feel you. There’s a small possibility that we made a couple extra, and if so, we may look at doing a contest or something to give them away. Again, keep an eye on the @Wasteland Twitter for up-to-the-minute news.

Q: When can backers expect to receive their Collector’s Editions?
A: We’re targeting to have them delivered as close to the May 19 release date as possible.

you're butthurt because this is your house?


As a game collector, I feel insulted by your superficial remark.
Please retract it.

Retards still clinging to Windows 7 "because I worry about spying". Meanwhile they masturbate to furry porn 5 times a day on some fishy websites and their PCs have enough russian trojans and bitcoin miners to fill a 1TB hard drive.

i can personally get *why* people would stick with 64 bit versions of windows 7, but i'm going to make the assumption that the average codexer is computer literate enough to modify their installation of windows 10 enough so that the spyware-esque features are no longer working

The devs of 'Stasis' that they hired are doing damn good job on those backgrounds.

Hope writing doesn't suck like it did in W2, where 90% of the quests were 'There are 2 groups and they hate each other. Wipe one of them or force them to make up!'.
