Wasteland Wasteland 3 Pre-Release Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[eric__s]

Wasteland 3, the tertiary and revolutionary (in more ways that one) installment from Devolver Digital.

Wait, what?

 

[Bigg Boss]

They are publishing it I would assume? I'm not sure since I have not kept up with it.

 

[Infinitron]

 

[Daedalos]

Is it just me?, or is it abit worrisome that they use words like:

"Nothing is final", "intro cinematic isn't final, report issues etc." yada yada

2 months before it's release? 2 months is little to no time to fix anything imo. Especially qith Q&A and the whole microsoft thing now.

It's been in production since 2016.

Hm. I guess I will reserve judgement. Hopefully the beta will have been alot more polished since the alpha.

 

[Deleted Member 22431]

Haven't followed this since announcement. Will it have more fun/diverse character customization and combat than its predecessor, or is it carbon-copying those systems?

They seem to have overhauled it quite a bit from what I can tell.

How so?

Afaik we haven't seen the Skills and Perks yet but this is how the attributes look in the beta at least:

So the retarded character system CLASSIC remains. Awareness is the main stat, luck and charisma are dump stats. Shallow as fuck. But hey, the initials of each attribute put together amounts to CLASSIC, and that's what matters to Inxile developers. It is confirmed. The combat is going to be shit.

 

[Deleted Member 22431]

For all it flaws, W2 was good, so W3 will never sink as low as any of the Fable games

They'll certainly try : traveling shenanigans, retarded NPC/factions and now co-op ...

They are trying their best to emulate DO:S formula of success. Make of that what you will.

 

[Lacrymas]

So, we've come full circle and a hobo is a playable class now. Also, I'm afraid to ask what "that thing that is intentional" in the character creator is.

It would be great if it replaced our little bouncing masturbating friend.
Took me ages to realize what he was doing so i'm using it carefully now.

 

[Lacrymas]

But the masturbating one is iconic. And it perfectly encapsulates the circle jerk-y nature of some most of the threads on the 'Dex

I'm betting it's the ability to mismatch gender with the character's model.

That's so 1988.

My guess: Dying by lowering attribute below a certain level.

Given every one of these KS crpgs ends up getting a more polished re-release a year or more down the line in an "enhanced edition"/console port it shouldn't be surprising to learn that nothing is final.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Lol, 2 months from alpha to full release.

[Infinitron]

Non-final intro cinematic:

Lol, 2 months from alpha to full release.

Obviously the game has been internally in beta for longer than this.

 

[FranticDistortion]

Lol, 2 months from alpha to full release.

I think It will be a quite stable game

Spoiler

after year of patching

 

[Pope Amole II]

Anybody here with a high-tier backing, with an early access copy to spare? Or anybody knows the press contacts of inxile? It's time to do some number crunching, after all.

Don't need a high tier. Every backer gets the beta.

 

[Pope Amole II]

55$ tier gets two keys, which is why they might have a spare.

 

[Roguey]

I have an alpha key, but I dunno if that means I get a separate beta key or if the alpha upgrades to beta if so.

 

[Daedalos]

Alpha keys upgrade. No need for seperate keys. They clearly specified that on the forums, website and backer sites afaik.

 

[Infinitron]

Got my beta key:

Wasteland 3

Welcome to the Wasteland 3 Beta, Ranger!

The Beta kicks off at 9am PDT, March 17, and offers the first few hours of the final game for you to help us test and provide feedback on. You’ll see the sights and sounds of Colorado, as you take your first steps in a frozen post-apocalyptic wasteland. Note that more than a few things are certainly not final, and we don’t have the world map enabled (you’ll warp from place to place versus driving like in the final game).

Claim your key below to redeem your digital copy on Steam.

Please be aware that while you can claim your key and activate it now, the Beta does not begin until 9am PDT, March 17.

Be sure to visit the Wasteland 3 forums for info and help, as well as to provide feedback and help us improve the game before release: https://forums.inxile-entertainment.com/.

Thank you,
Wasteland 3 Dev Team
