Game News Wasteland 3 coming to Fig on October 5th, introducing two player co-op and cinematic conversations

"Crooked Beer"

Whilst a Codex official beer would undoubtedly be something I'd be willing to pay for, I'm not sure I'd be willing to put it in my mouth. For hygiene reasons...

If you prefer single-player only, have no fear – Wasteland 3 will still feature a fully-offline single-player mode. That said, having an in-game partner will open (and close) access to various missions, story arcs, and locations.

Co-op exclusive content!

They could, of course, mitigate the exclusiveness by adding a Van Buren style scripted AI party - that might even be toggleable either through an in-game choice or some options menu tickbox - that draws randomly from the same pool of options the human party has (do X, do Y, do Z, do nothing). They probably won't, but they could.

Co-op is the future of classic RPGs. Adapt or perish.

 

[undecaf]

Think I'll perish.

Co-op is the future of classic RPGs. Adapt or perish.

I just don't see the appeal. Some of my greatest RPG memories are having the shit scared out of me thanks to being entirely on my own.

Also, talking IRL to another person takes the player immediately out of the game world.

 

[Mustawd]

cRPGs will now stand for co-op rpgs.

WL2 looked like thinly-smeared crap.

No reason to make W3 look like this. Too many electric lights in those screenshots. Oh, well...

 

[Klarion]

Meh.

 

[Latelistener]

Inxile can go ask peasants for money, but I doubt they give a rat's ass about it.

No doubt they'll have a fundraiser, but they'll win by default this year if the Codex doesn't compete.

 

[Bubbles]

Our Tier 4 cousins don't even have a newspost yet.

Those are pre-rendered, overpainted pictures with post processing to hide mistakes and bad textures, so I doubt that game looks like this. Probably it's going to be Wasteland 2 with snow.

The facebook page describes the screenshots as follows:

These shots were created in conjunction with The Brotherhood, developers of Stasis (video game) - be sure to take a look at their own titles if you like their work.

Very peculiar turn of phrase: "these shots were created..." Make of it what you will.

 

[Bumvelcrow]

I'll be supporting this one, for certain.

Such naiveté. I almost feel sorry for them.

If the Codex has a fundraiser it should be to free Ziets from the pit in Fargo's plastic-themed dungeon

 

[commie]

After all the drama on Inxile, the Codex must be tagged as the laughing stock of the internet if we make another fundraiser for that studio.

Is that supposed to be a reason not to do it?

Exactly! We've backed almost every Kickstarter turd!What's one more?

etc....

He should be writing some wacky talking sock dialogues for DOS2 with MCA instead.

The sad part is that I'd rather have a high resolution pre-rendered 2D background with 3D models rather than a full 3D game that looks like poop. Oh well...

 

[Kem0sabe]

Those "screenshots" have had more work done on them than Fargo's wife.

Inxile has a history of pre release bullshit, these reek of it.

What was the conclusion of the drama? Some answer from InXile themselves?

No further contact.

No further contact.

But def not blacklisted.

Someone from the codex tried to establish contact?

It's interesting that as of now, Pillars of Eternity 2 seems to be the most modest and straightforward of the next generation of "Big Three" Kickstarters. We might be surprised but I haven't seen evidence of any interest in multiplayer from Obsidian.

Big Three eh?

Playing smart and not being clever.
