Game News Wasteland 2 Kickstarter Update #64: GOTY Edition renamed to Director's Cut + E3 2015 Trailer, Perks

[Roguey]

There's no new content here, they spent all their budget fixing their broken game.

RIP Reagan land.

 

[Excidium II]

Maybe if they moved out of california they could afford to create new stuff

 

[Ovplain]

Hmm that revamped Inventory GUI is just for consoles, right?

Console UI is also supposed to be available for PC + controller, if that counts.

They're probably revamping some of the UIs for all versions, though.

As a general note, the screenshots and video in this update are all using our controller interface – but remember that we won't be forcing a controller-driven interface on you when you use mouse and keyboard.

 

[Excidium II]

Good, thanks

Way too much talent, experience, and infrastructure for software and entertainment.

More like way too many people doing trivial work and being paid $70k/year to afford their hipster lifestyles

Entertainment is about as sleazy as business can get. Adaptability is everything. If you're lucky enough to organize forty programmers in Iowa, you're going to be very reluctant to lay them off or downsize between projects because odds are you aren't going to get that many again if you need them.

Does InXile even have that many people in total?

Well, Harebrained Schemes has 60 and inXile went on a hiring spree circa Wasteland 2. And Obsidian went off the rails. And Sven opened another studio.

Sky's the limit at this point.

 

[Excidium II]

Can't even imagine what all those people do.

Well, in an interesting side note concerning HBS, I found the starter kit for Golems Arcana in the Games section of my local Barnes and Noble.

KickStarter label and everything.

Powder Packer sounds like an utterly worthless perk, I see that they're sticking to their grog roots and going for quantity over quality here.

this perk would make ammo-hungry builds like the machine gun one more viable.

of course you need to play the game first to understand that.

 

[Excidium II]

Provided you're lucky that it procs when looting the ammo type you need consistently enough for it to make a difference

 

[razvedchiki]

of course if you are using one type of ammo per character helps too.
going 3 assault and 1 machinegun and then complain like many popamolers did is retarded.

 

[Aoyagi]

I presume this won't be compatible with old saves, huh.

InXile has like 40 people last we heard

Gud! I haven't played it yet. And it looks like Fargo went nuts from that trailer.

 

[Love]

Can't even imagine what all those people do.

They've been shipped off to PNP boot camp for advanced training. Or maybe it's what Avellone is doing nowadays as freelancing work with his self designed games to teach people the 101 of roleplaying.

I've consistently read that heavy weapons are a trap and worse than pretty much every other weapon skill, even the bad/less-good ones like pistols, SMGs, and shotguns. Less to do with ammo availability and more to do with how they can't be upgraded and the per-bullet-jamming.

We have a bit over 30 people in the studio, and then a bunch of us working off-site spread all across the world, like Colin, Adam, Eric and me.

 

[tuluse]

They're working on 3 "projects" simultaneously right now. WL2 director's cut/port, TToN and BT kis.

My question was more about HBS since I can see InXile having that many people if not more, specially if every odd writer counts

those who have wrote that are as dumbfuck as you.

it seems that the target audience for this game was actually popamole dumbfucks.

i made a supreme jerk playthrough with an assaulter,machine gunner,sub machiner and pistolier plus scotsmo,rose and the energy weapons chick and i didnt have any particular problesm.
you just have to use your brain.

Oh, well they are working that Dark Soul's clone thing.

 

[Infinitron]

They also have Golem Arcana to support. No, it didn't fail.
