Wasteland The Wasteland 2 Beta Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Grunker]

Why are you posting straight up commercials like that dude?

Haven't you heard? I'm a shill.

Some of us don't subscribe to that particular brand of public opinion, though posting random commercials will maybe nudge me an inch in that direction

 

[Kem0sabe]

Next game inxile pitches to KS, they should have a PR campaign stretch goal.

Being a shill implies a certain degree of bias. Bots don't have biases.

 

[Diablo169]

To be fair that's some brilliant marketing. It's nice to see some devs embracing the video and streaming community. It's an untapped resource of free publicity.

Still irritated that there is apparently Razer product placement actually in the game.

There is?

Yeah I think they are those trinkets.

But the guy donated 10k plus his twitter spam. I'd say it's a fair trade.

There is?

I haven't seen it, but my understanding is that the Razer CEO was one of the big money backers, which comes with design an item in the game, right? There it is: "YOU GET TO PLACE A PERSONALIZED COLLECTIBLE ARTIFACT IN OUR WORLD and write its backstory! It could be anything from an engagement ring to a teddy bear." So the guy put a Razer mouse or some such.

Leaves a pretty bad taste in my mouth.

Just a clarification, this is not a product placement. The Razer CEO pledged $10,000 of his own money, and many other high-tier backers got shrines, NPCs or items added. We simply tried to accommodate the backer requests as much as we could. Obviously, some of those backers are going to have stuff that resembles real-world products, companies or creative works they're involved with, and some do not.

For the record, the Razer name does not appear in any direct in-game content... the specific item is a wearable necklace that looks like the Razer logo, but isn't itself a Razer product. In fact, if you want to be real literal about it, well, there's much more RPG Codex related content in the game than Razer (the Codex's stuff is pretty elaborate compared to most backers and we have more than just one piece of content...).

On a minor note but for the sake of full disclosure, we also use some Razer surround sound technology in the game. This has no direct connection with the CEO's pledge, however, we do show the Razer logo along with the Unity logo in the opening slides after the inXile and Wasteland 2 logos. We are contractually obligated to show these logos as part of licensing the technology, and that's the only reason they're there.

I appreciate the clarification. That's way less annoying than what I had gathered. Bad taste neutralized. Thanks!

Sure, every game has the obligatory tech logos at the start, no surprise here, but good to cover your bases.

sea Brother None Just a quick clarifying question: Are the physical items being shipped after the Friday release, on Friday along with the release or have they been shipped to get to people by Friday's release?

They will ship after release. Exactly when after we'll let people know, likely by direct message. It may be some time though, especially for CEs and ESPECIALLY for signed CEs.

I look forward to buying this game on steam and enjoying it despite 283 pages of butt hurt and whining.

It was all just a ruse to get you to buy the game because of all the bitching.

I love butt hurt on the Codex.. I snicker at work all day reading comments about Sawyer, Popamole Games, Chris Priestly and The Sims.. I might have to donate soon.. this website is more funny then any movie or stand up comedian I have ever watched.

I dunno. Thursday?

(seriously, we'll probably message all relevant backers with this information directly as soon as it's LOCKED in)

Hoping for the early emergence of a mod that lets us substitute something else
