Wasteland Wasteland 2 Pre-Release Discussion Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

You can't really see much in that pic, but man, it looks pretty damn good for an alpha build. :D

 

[Irenaeus]

I also express my approval of the general look, limited as it is.

 

[hiver]

Feel free to do better, complaining fag.

It's called saving with 100% quality.

"Do" means deed, not words.

 

[Blaine]

I doubt anyone else puts much stock in your opinions regarding P:E or WL2 at this point, Rogay for Josh Sawyer.

Will there be "romances"?

I was hoping to fuck a robot or a dude. Ranger gets lonely out in the Wasteland.

The video is delayed because some guy is doing the voice overs.... ffs...

Our producer Chris is finally recording narration over the video demo to detail the experience. We really aren't trying to tease you.. we just want to show progress. We are working hard to wrap it up.
And this video is actual gameplay being captured and not some smoke and mirrors demo.

blah, blah, blah.... blah, blah, blah...

Kinda like the atmosphere here, the shadows, the colors. Plus the Ui is looking pretty spiffy.

Dont forget you will be able to move those elements around as you see fit.

Sorta reminds me of Infinity engine game graphics. Looks quite nice. Can't wait to play it soon.

Will there be "romances"?

I think Fargo ruled that out long ago, but I can't quite recall it.

I was being facetious, but I believe you are correct. I honestly haven't kept up with the news on Wasteland 2 as I've been busy with IRL stuff.

Pretty standard post-apocalyptic Fallouty UI. A part of me was expecting something more 80's retro-futuristic but I guess Fallout's UI wasn't really all that 50's retro-futuristic. It does seem like this is at a pretty low resolution because the elements are way too close to one another, though.

 

[hoverdog]

The little I can distinguish looks great ​

 

[Kirtai]

Maybe they test it at low resolutions to prevent the designers producing UIs that only work at high res or certain aspect ratios. I'd say to see Skyrim running at 4:3 aspect ratio as an example but you can't.

Hmm, I think you may just be used to playing games designed for lower resolutions on high resolutions.

 

[Kahlis]

Well I mean if they design the UI to be as proportional to the gameplay area as it was in 320x200 games, then I guess it doesn't look too weird. But I'm definitely more used to playing games at a higher resolution than what was the standard then, so the 2D UI graphics don't scale and take up very little space.

For things like Adobe programs, you generally get a higher resolution display and the UI doesn't change at all (not counting expanding more panels), you're just glad to have more screen real estate so that you can see more of your working area at once. I kind of prefer that over everybody making the UIs larger.

See for example how you can maybe see 6 inventory items at once in Oblivion while in Daggerfall you could see 4, even though the lowest expected resolution somebody would play Oblivion at is probably at least 640x480, much more than double Daggerfall's total screen area. All because they decided people in 2006 have lost the ability to read small fonts and need huge padding. And this isn't a universal trend, just a mistake by certain companies that don't seem to know how to efficiently use screen real estate - Dark Souls was for consoles and its UI for example is much more ergonomic than anything by Bethesda or multiplatform FPS developers.

Nice that they have the presence of mind to spend some of that Kickstarter money on single malt. Personally I would have gone for top-shelf bourbon, but I respect their decision.

 

[Kem0sabe]

That bottle of highland park seems pretty conspicuous there.

 

[Infinitron]

As far as I know, it will be five minutes long.

FYI, my knowledge has changed.

 

[Lancehead]

Too to share the knowledge with us, eh?

 

[Infinitron]

Too to share the knowledge with us, eh?

It's longer than five minutes. Much longer, I think.

Don't worry, it won't be long now until it's released.

 

[Vault Dweller]

Did you actually watch it? Thoughts?

 

[Infinitron]

Did you actually watch it?

Nope, sorry.

 

[General Maxson]

It's almost 9 PM in Europe, so tomorrow?

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

Could you be a bit more specific? Some could say the same about AoD.

 

[tuluse]

In a geologic sense the entirety of humanity is not long.

 

[Infinitron]

Don't worry, it won't be long now until it's released.

Could you be a bit more specific? Some could say the same about AoD.

I don't know. Maybe in an hour, maybe tomorrow morning?

 

[FeelTheRads]

Brother None does the whole "I know more than you and I'm not telling" thing better, just so you know.

Still...

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

Maybe 'go fuck yourself'?
