Game News Wasteland 2 Kickstarter Update #33: Wasteland 1 Standalone Release, New Screenshots

[FeelTheRads]

Yeah geez it's not like anyone is complaining in here.

Look here newfag... get some Codex experience first before opening your mouth.

 

[Jack Dandy]

Loving it so far.
I hope the stuff we'll see in Gamescom will be even better.

 

[Excidium]

I hope they show some combat. And a new UI.

 

[Brother None]

FFS codex, not so long ago we were resolved to never getting another iso TB RPG again...

and now you're complaining about some graphics bullshit

I'd say that absolutely speaks in favor of everything else we heard about WL2 so far.

My thoughts exactly. If after release the only real thing the Codex complains about is graphics, I'll be a happy man.

 

[Excidium]

People are talking about graphics because the newspost happens to include a screenshot too. Not sure how you missed that.

I'm p. sure we went about the mediocre UI and mechanics much more than the graphics so rest assured that there are far worse things in the game than myopia simulation

@Brother None Is there a thought out schedule for the release of Wasteland, or is it a "as soon as it's ready" case?

As soon as it's ready

 

[Roguey]

Developers without a target release date is a recipe for disaster.

 

[Excidium]

The beta is still scheduled for october, isn't it?

 

[Infinitron]

[Metro]

I look forward to playing Wasteland 2 in December... of 2015.

 

[jewboy]

I just hope there is on off setting for the DoF.

My myopia doesn't invoke nausea . . .

Such a failure, even at simulating that.

 

[InspectorRumpole]

What matters to me after seing those screens, is that i can't wait to explore the world of Wasteland.

 

[Stabwound]

Incline of epic proportions and all anyone can do is argue for 4 pages about graphical effects. Y'all motherfuckers need Jesus.

Newspost contains screenshot. People talk about screenshot. I don't know what you motherfuckers expect.

 

[Micmu]

They are gonna push release date a bit further so it won't compete with AoD and Grimoire's release.

So, sometime around...

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

Oh. Ok. So just because the newspost shows a screenshot it's totally natural to accept that a bunch of self-proclaimed RPG gamers care so much about graphics that they're shitting themselves with worry. Right.

 

[Sensuki]

No, I would attribute it more to the fact that it's an obvious derpy popamole graphics feature that has somehow made it's way into a supposed old school top down tactical turn based RPG and it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Can you imagine if Obsidian had Depth of Field on in Project Eternity? I know it's 2D and Torment 99% won't have it but yeah "We're gonna use DEPTH OF FIELD instead of FOG OF WAR! Doesn't it look great???"

I imagine it exists to hide somewhat low poly textures, but I'd rather see them despite how bad they look from a distance.

I don't really give a shit about the :refined gentleman meme xD: crap.

Of course it's less important than core things like the systems (which are shit) and the actual content (which remains to be seen) but it's what there is to talk about in this specific thread. But that goes without saying, except for kool kredit haversters and the thumbs up brigade that have to come and start their "omg guys stop everything is great old school RPGs are back :brofist: I can't wait to announce the world I bought abandonware on GOG" which remind of why I don't browse other forums.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

If I'm seeing it right, the background is on a much lower plane than the lower part of the screen, right? I think the blur (is it really depth of field?) is unecessary, but the graphics looks okay otherwise. Well the characters also seem to be floating a little but that happens even with AAAAAA+++ games so I don't really care.

 

[J_C]

I know that I'm being the doomsayer now, and honestly I myself don't really think this, but I fear of the possibility that even though there is Brian and a lot of good guys from the Black Isle days working on this game, there are others at inXile, who ...how do I put this....not as talented as they should be, and start to fuck up things during development. Like messing up the UI more and more, making questionable art choices etc.

Translation: "Where's my review copy?"

Ahahaha, you are so funny. I mean you would be funny, if I weren't a KS backer and receiving a copy anyway.

 

[Metro]

Kickstarter accepts potatoes?

 

[Jim the Dinosaur]

Of course it's less important than core things like the systems (which are shit).

What do you think is shit about the systems? I only remember about the skill list, which looked fine, and that the combat system supposedly encourages cover, flanking (at least they claimed that in that first demo they showed) and getting to high ground (I remember tuluse saying something like that). Isn't that all the tactical stuff you've been clamoring for? Or did/will it turn out to be mostly bullshit?
