SRINI87 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Obsidian on board if Wasteland 2 Kickstarter hits $2.1M Should the Wasteland 2 Kicjkstarter reach $2.1 million within the next 17 days remaining, Obisidian Entertainment along with the firm’s Chris Avellone will lend a hand with development. Per RPS: “Wasteland is one of my favorite RPGs of all time, and when Brian asked if I wanted to work on the sequel, I jumped at the chance,” said Avellone. “While I’ve worked on Fallout 2 and Fallout: New Vegas, getting the chance to work on the spiritual successor to the Fallout franchise is a honor.” “I have a history with the guys at Obsidian that dates back to the days of Interplay’s Black Isle studios,” offered inXile’s Brian Fargo. “Together we created some of the greatest RPG’s of all time, from Fallout 1 & 2 to titles like Icewind Dale and Planescape: Torment. It is great that we now have a chance to reunite on a project like Wasteland 2.” src: VG247 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRINI87 Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Wasteland 2 reaches its $2.1 million goal; Planescape Torment’s Developer will help them after all And they have finally made it. Wasteland 2′s Kickstarter campaign has reached $2.1 million USD, meaning that Planescape Torment’s developer and Obsidian’s Chief Creative Officer, Chris Avellone, will help inXile in developing the game. As Brian Fargo had stated, Chris is going to help push the density and literary content of the game. Awesome news. While the programming work will remain with us here at inXile, we are looking to use a host of tools that Obsidian has created which will help us get assets into the game faster. The faster we can implement and iterate on content, the deeper the game and the more varied choices the gamers can make. src: dsogaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyofx Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Anyone else kickstart this (aside from me)? @Afty: Apparently the 15 USD price is only valid till their kickstarter fundathon runs out.. Although this may not be a problem for a Billionaire such as yourself.. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jojo_ Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Can anyone name a recent game which is similar to wasteland? I'm a bit confused about the turn-based-rpg part. And only 19 hr left to kickstart this. EDIT: Pledged $15. Hopefully they will not disappoint. The main reason I pledged is because you don't find dev teams working for the fans. Most dev teams sell themselves to big shot companies and ruin the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most dev teams sell themselves to big shot companies and ruin the game. unfortunately, there are no recent games like this. the genre is basically dead, which is why kickstarter is the only way a game like this was getting made. the closest you can say a modern game came to that kind of mechanics is dragon age when you pause after every party command. but even dragon age had a real time combat option in which the turns were hidden from the player if he wanted a more free flowing experience.

Well, good enough. I'm looking forward to playing my first turned-based-RPG. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyofx Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 @spin/milo: No Banner Saga? I couldn't resist the art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindoctor Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 we got confused about the banner saga. what was the deal with only episode 1 of a trilogy at the basic level and episode 2 & 3 to people who pledged more? is the money being used for 1 game or 3 games? i'm glad they reached 700k though, so they have enough money to put in all the features, but this one i'll wait it out for a steam sale. so far i've backed 3 of these. have to keep a check on things because it's an easy way to lose a lot of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyofx Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 ^^ Yea, that did seem a bit shady. I'm sure they'll have to finish part 1 first though, if only because a majority of the backers picked the first two tiers. I also suspect they'll never get around to making parts 2 and 3 anyway, lol. I'm mean. Shadowrun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRINI87 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Wasteland 2 to be built on Unity, but not browser-based Brian Fargo has announced that inXile will employ the Unity engine in developing Wasteland 2. The tech is probably best-known as a solid browser engine, but it’s also extremely portable; Fargo has assured fans that Wasteland 2 will be an installed game, not online-only, and will look “detailed and rich“. src: vg247 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Honcho Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Turn based RPG? Never heard of it before. So, how is it actually? Is it more like Civ5 with a lot of character building or Skyrim taken in turns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
