Brian Fargo wants to make a traditional old school sequel to the Fallout precursor. All he needs is $1m of your money to do it.

Already tired of kickstarter

This Kickstarter thing could be the best thing to have happened for gaming in years.

[Party boy]

I certainly enjoyed Fallout3, so this could be good. Should Kickstarter get its own thread for all these game? Might make sense to keep it all in the one thread.

$1m. Nice round number. Weird how they sat down, estimated out how much work needed to be put into design, art, code, audio, marketing etc. and it came to $1m and not $950,000 for example.

[Kaido]

had to be done... sorry

Hmmmm, the $50 edition sounds quite tempting...

[Guts]

Brian Fargo and inXile reach their goal of $900,000 already ($960,000 at the moment), with 33 more days to go! And I haven't even contributed yet! A REAL isometric, strategic, post-apocalyptic RPG coming up! Happy times!

Edit: Mark Morgan, who made the brilliant music in the original Fallout and Fallout 2 games is going to be making the soundtrack for Wasteland 2 and there are other people from the original Fallout dev team involved.

This is shaping up to be the real spiritual successor of Fallout, funny, as Fallout was the spiritual successor of the original Wasteland in the first place.

Sample of Mr. Morgan's talent for those who haven't heard:

Just a heads up, that the Kickstarter for Wasteland 2 is still open for 3 days if anyone interested in the game wants get the finished product for just $15.

They're at $2.4 million now.

Last 24 hours for this.

Currently at 2,759,694 (Kickstarter plus Paypal donations)

Not a bad result and there's still a bit to go

[Guts]

Update time for Wasteland 2 also!

They've released a track composed by Mark Morgan, the chap I talked about earlier in the thread and I have to say I love this BGM. It's very "Fallouty" with a bit of western thrown in. Check it out.

First gameplay video! The actual gameplay starts at about 2:30.

I'm liking what I'm seeing.

Looks and sounds, amazing

[H-Man]

That looks excellent. Really can't wait for this.

Wow. I wasn't that impressed when I first looked but watching that, looks awesome. Like XCOM mixed with Fallout or something. (Never played the first one). Glad I backed it
