sorophx Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Wasteland had a vastly different combat system, and it allowed to create a whole party for yourself. if Wasteland 2 does the same, I don't care how it looks. In my mind a perfect Wasteland 2 would be a game with combat mechanics from Jagged Alliance 2, 3D graphic engine (to allow changing camera angle), and a lot of C&C Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland. And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe.

sorophx Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I used to play Wasteland back in the day, and I've been waiting for a sequel since. And now Brian Fargo is raising money on Kickstarter for Wasteland 2. Well, head over to the link and support the sequel - the devs need all the support they can get. I've put myself down for US$10,000 and I'll give away the 50 free copies I get to you guys when the game launches. https://www.facebook.com/minliangtan CEO of Razer is going crazy, nice Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.

Syraxis Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I never played Wasteland but I'll pledge $15 for a new RPG.
MacMichael Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Think I'm going to put down $50 - 100 for this sometime after I get paid next. I'm really excited, though I don't really know why. I've never played Wasteland and inXile's list of games doesn't exactly impress me, but a style of RPG that I haven't seen made for a while by the people who were involved with a number of past favorites, how horribly wrong could it go? I'm going to need better directions than "the secret lair." -==(UDIC)==-
PoetAndMadman Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 And I'm still waiting for my ordered prepaid card, after that I will also pay 65$ (50 + shipping). So if there are more people in my situation, I guess we can expect to hit 1,5mil $ or hopefuly even more and get better and bigger game maybe even toolset!
Lorfean Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 And it's funded. Awesome I'm gonna pitch in when I get my salary this week. Never played the original but I've played plenty of other games Fargo was involved in, some of them amongst my all-time favorites, and I'm very excited to see a proper 2D, turn-based, party-based RPG getting made this way.

Llyranor Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Turn-based party-based RPG? Sign me up! I pledged 65 for the cloth map! Maybe I should start a Kickstarter for my janitor RPG. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
entrerix Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 I'm in it to win it. glad to see they are making more than they hoped for. if this turns out well i really hope we see a return of classic crpg style games. which died completely without explanation at the height of their popularity 1 Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
Tigranes Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 They died when bio moved away, interplay bearhugged black isle to jump off a cliff together, and the industry itself became even more big budget, etc. RTS had pretty rough few years, too.

sorophx Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 are RTS games even being made today? I don't remember any except SC 2 and DoW 2, and that was a few years ago already Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.

Gorth Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 are RTS games even being made today? I don't remember any except SC 2 and DoW 2, and that was a few years ago already They are twelve a dozen. Checking places like Gamersgate, Strategy First, Matrix Games etc. is rather depressing sometimes. 19 out of 20 games that calls themselves "Strategy" is just rts games (not an exact count, just an impressionistic version). “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

molarBear Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 today someone just pledged to $10,000 tier "if everyone is dead then why don't i remember dying?" —a clueless sod to a dustman "if we're all alive then why don't i remember being born?" —the dustman's response
Majek Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Heh the $10ks were full the first day, but i looks like they've increased the number of possible backers for those tiers now. 1.13 killed off Ja2.
Humodour Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) If I'm reading it right, they've now raised $1.5 million dollars for Wasteland 2 with 27 days to go. They've stated that this means they'll release Linux and Mac versions as well. Double Fine raised $3.3 million and theirs has finished. Those are some pretty large numbers. I'm curious though, who owns the IP? And can these devs then sell the finished products online via Steam to make further cash? Edit: And to think Gorth and co were only recently ranting about how piracy has killed the game industry. Yeah right. I don't think I've ever seen it stronger, more varied, more multi-platform, or more open to independents (and Kickstarter is but one reason among many). Edited March 21, 2012 by Krezack
WorstUsernameEver Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 And can these devs then sell the finished products online via Steam to make further cash? That's the plan. On the IP: inXile owns the Wasteland IP, bought it back from EA. Double Fine will presumably own the IP since I think they're working on a completely new one.

Based on what Brian Fargo's describing in the YouTube video, it's going to be a combination of Jagged Alliance 2 and Fallout 1/2. I think I'll pledge some bucks. Edited March 21, 2012 by Krezack

C2B Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 Now that's confusing. I thought Obsidian was thinking on kick-starting a project of their own. Hopefully they still do. If they don't I can't view that as a very smart decision.
