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

Oh, good. But do you have a deal for more than one game? If no EA could stiil say, "Ok, WL2 was a success for you, so you can do WL3 but only with us as your publisher."

 

Actually, that's not more likely at all. The EA thing to do would be to squeeze as much money out of inXile's future use of the IP as they can.

 

I don't think we do, but as I've already said, we don't really *need* them to make another sequel. We own the name and the desert rangers name which are the most iconic, the only consequence would be we'd have to move the game out of Arizona, basically. They can't force us to do anything.

 

Brother None I don't care about tricky or shricky, orthographic mode have to be in or else!

 

Good post by that Russian guy.

I always turn off FoV effects, bloom, depth of field and distance fog in all games

 

They didn't provide funding. Most importantly, they aren't overseeing development and meddling in, which is the number one reason for publisher hate. Right now, the deal Fargo signed with DS sounds like it might be close to ideal. There isn't even any single reason to bitch at this point unless more details pointing to the contrary surface.

LOL you're using fucking Farmville as an example? In an article from 2011? You probably didn't get the memo but it's been sometime since that bubble burst.

Yeah. I tried to poke holes in it but couldn't find anything. Creative control? Ours. DLC/expansion? Ours. Release date? Ours. Digital sales? Ours. Bags of money? Ours. We don't even discuss the game with them, they just leave us to it.

Plus, our genre is really strong in Europe. Germany is a really big market for us, and AFAIK also one of the biggest physical retail markets remaining for PC. Sure, it's pretty dead in the US, and I do expect digital sales to be more important, but yeah, there are regions where the market is stronger.

 

I love this post at NMA:

He is right on the money with his criticism in this and other posts. WL2 should look far better with their resources and talent.

Is he calling depth of field "bloom"?

 

Yeah. Well, same shit that eats away your FPS to simulate impared eyesight.

 

Yeah he is, someone corrects him later in the thread.

Brother None:

Need more button info:

1. Circle with arrows pointing towards it: select all? center on selected?
2. First three buttons on the bottom bar: run, inventory and... character screen? Or character screen, inventory and menu/options?
3. Boulder skill button appears only when combat starts? Same with AP count and end turn button I assume?

 

If this and the EA deals for WL1/WL1 IP are anywhere near as good as advertised, someone at inXile business/legal is really, really good at this. Not to even mention the expired trademark sniping that made this and torment possible under those names...

 

he's got a point though. it's kinda weird how the computer adaptation of pnp, the king of coop, went the cyoa route with any form of multiplayer (not counting mmos) being the exception rather than the rule.

 

It makes sense to me, if I had friends to co-op with I'd rather play pnp.

 

it's a series of tubes, man. you can have fake and real friends all over the world to coop with, pnp not so much.

 

We'll see how it works with D:OS.

 

I almost didn't back D:OS because of co-op.

 

Any requests for romanceable NPCs or player housing yet?
