Tags: David Rogers; inXile Entertainment; Wasteland 3

inXile have put together a new series of Wasteland 3 dev diaries ahead of its release in August. IGN have gotten dibs on the first episode, in which lead designer David Rogers introduces the game's character and combat systems. The video offers a look at some of the new combat features, including new quirks that enable unique builds, brawling combos that stack up as you punch enemies, the new squad-based turn system in which enemies can move simultaneously, active abilities that are unlocked by weapon perks, and the highly customizable Kodiak vehicle. According to David, ammo in Wasteland 3 will be scarce and is intended to serve as a money sink, so diversifying your party's weapon loadout is recommended.



Looks very cool. If you've been curious about how Wasteland 3's combat has evolved over that of Wasteland 2, watch this video. inXile plan to release additional dev diaries in the coming weeks.

Wasn't Wasteland 1 zany too? Crazy 80s sci-fi vibe with weird shit in for good measure?

It's not exactly fallout 3, mind you. Maybe you're expecting something different.

Agree, I'm not looking for dark & gritty game #2056. Just give me a good Wasteland game.... hopefully.

Apparently even mechanical weapons look like they're shooting fireworks.

Do devs really think this looks good? Why is it even a thing at all?

Wish they would stop with this shit of 85% time spent on some dude babbling and 15% on actually showing the game.

Yeah, let's spoil the entire game in a promo-video, next-level marketing though.

Movie trailers that spoil the entire fucking thing doesn't bother you I take it.

Showing a few minutes of gameplay is hardly "spoiling the entire thing", even InXile isn't stupid enough to show the boss fight in a trailer. I hope.

But-but... that sounds like incline. Given that I did solo melee not complete walkthrough of W2 lol.
FTF?

It certainly looks like a lot less jank. The long delays and Microsoft money seem to have done wonders.

i see they're going with the mass effect style skill pips, and that the combat feedback is a cluttered mess of numbers, icons, and vfx.

nice.
