Wasteland 2

War has changed

'What can change the nature of War?'

The apocalypse.

Aye, but what apocalypse? After all, in the original Greek, that word simply means revelation.

The original intro by Ron Pearlman in Fallout follows up on "War. War never changes." War never changes because it's always for the same reason, petty greed. The same thing that motivated us to kill our brothers in the stone age is what motivates us to go to war with nations in the present. Sure, we dress it up in ideology and talk about freedom or justice, but what it ultimately comes down to is; we want want you have, and we will take it by force. And it doomed us all.

That's what I got out of it, anyway.

Dammit, stop ruining the joker better than I could.

New Wasteland screenshot coming up tomorrow

It's surprising how open they are with their development, especially when it's this early on.

Kinda refreshing actually.

Yeah. At least we are sure they're making progress!

^^Well, they kind of promised that

Vote for the preferred colour saturation of Wasteland 2 here

I think that's the new screenshot by the way. It looks the same but the textures on everything but the base land are much more detailed and the character models have changed as well.

Option B seems best to me, not too vibrant, not too bleak, but I can't figure out how to vote.

You need to register an account on that site (the wasteland 2 forums where people generally discuss the direction of the game and other things).

Will the game be a bitch on the processor?

I don't see why it would.

That isn't very likely. It's 2D and isometric.

So was Magicka

I assume that was a processor sink?

Reading the trope page, that was probably due to the fact that it was online and had a lot of particle effects.

Graphically the game is three-dimensional, so the more important thing is that the models are meant to be seen zoomed fairly far out.

Chris Keenan confirmed earlier this week that inXile is planning on getting WL 2 onto Go G, so anyone not keen on Steam can get the game there instead.

Also: have another interview

If that isn't good news, I don't know what it is. I doubt that GOG will reject, especially considering that they once teased the first game. Along with System Shock 2 and other stuff.

Wait a minute, that mechascorpion thingy has gatling guns in its claws and tail? I saw that before but didn't notice it.

Welp, not going near that thing without a tank.

Ah, days feel like months, waiting for this game...

Is there actually any interview with Fargo in which he is actually talking about the game and not just waving the hard-on he has for Kickstarter around?
