Wasteland 3?

[corad006]

After watching xbox e3 confrence they mentioned a wasteland 3 but the gameplay and art style seem diffrent. Did the wasteland franchese get sold off? Is the creator connected with this new product? Would playing this game enhance my Experience with the the other one should i reconsider buying it? Please keep me posted on this.

Yes, the developer is now owned by microsoft and are still working on the game. Game was announced and the first trailer was shown years ago, before the acquisition so the upgraded graphics and setting was already known about.

Not sure how connected the stories are with 2. I never played the first Wasteland but Wasteland 2 did a good job bringing me up to speed. I imagine it will be the same with Wasteland 3 but Wasteland 2 Director's Cut is a pretty solid RPG that I'd recommend if you are interested in it.

Yeah, this isnt the Wasteland 3 that was hyped at the start

Not sure if Im ok with that.

Looked similar enough to me. The tone of the trailer isn't necessarily the tone of the game. Scotchmo wasn't the Deckard Cain of Wasteland 2, so just because they let him narrate the trailer doesn't mean that he'll pour snake squeezins all over Wasteland 3 and the lick it up with his tongue during the whole game.

Visuals look so different from concept on Fig page[fig.co]. Also afraid of Deep Silver and its love for egs ♥♥♥♥ ((

Although Steam and GOG are still mentioned[imgur.com].

[Gadzooks]

yeah, game went from looking like a serious post apocalyptic game, to looking like a top down version of Rage 2.

Yeah, this is some kind of stupid new trend to make a pink and purple post-apocalypse.
In addition, conceptual screenshots look like highly detailed pre-rendered backgrounds. As for me I think it was more promissing. And now in the trailer we were shown cheap 3D with low details.
If I am not mistaken, in some of the interviews, inXile said they would focus on Stasis design style.

I really do not like when Microsoft takes over good stuff :(

[Wolfdoggie]

The trailer was quite odd and different. I assumed it was just for the trailer though and the game wouldn't actually be all wacky and lighthearted like that but who knows.

Thanks for this info OP.

Unfortunately so long as Deep Silver gets any money from a sale. I cannot in good conscience pick up Wasteland 3. Despite being a big fan of the series as well as the original isometric Fallout games. Because deep silver is bad for PC gaming and I wholeheartedly support PC gaming. They have taken many opportunities to take bribes from the EGS making games exclusive. So long as exclusionary practices continue I will not support deep silver in anyway. Even if that means I cannot support franchises that I would like to see continue. Because Deep Silver has shown that they could care less about the people shelling out for games they publish. And the only thing the shareholders clearly calling the shots understand is a loss of revenue. So I will be fighting the good fight for everyone to get any game on PC from their platform of choice. Exclusives are anti-consumer.

Also please don't misinterpret me here though, EGS should certainly have any game on Steam as well if they choose to carry it. Competition comes in the form of pricing and services. Even at an increased cost I would get a copy on Steam given the choice. Some may well choose EGS for a lower cost (as presently we can safely say it would not be for better services). I'm fine with that. The exclusionary anti-consumer practice of exclusives needs to stop however.

The graphics in Wasteland 3 looks just like Wasteland 2. I don't know WTF you guys are talking about.

watch the trailer shown at E3 this year, it looks nothing like WL2

It's just more polished looking with jazzier looking special effects. Certainly is in no way great departure from 2 that said. It's just been 5 years since 2 dropped now. So things are a little more fluid, less polygonal, and have seemingly higher resolution textures. Likely due to more people having more capable hardware now than say 5 years prior.

Hope then game come into steam with modding support too & not was only windows store exclusive a game.

Deep Silver seems to be involved so likely it is going to be Epic Store and Windows Store only.

Yes, nowadays Deep Silver is a sh*tty publisher, capable of ruining almost everything. I only hope inXile (as now they are part of MS) won't go along with this crap.
