Wasteland 2 is shaping up to be a really cool game

wasteland-2-la

We were able to get our hands on the early beta build of Wasteland 2 that is currently available on Steam, and so far the game seems to be turning out quite nicely. I’ve put in about 15 hours over the past week or so and in that time I was already able to see a huge difference in the game brought about by the most recent build.  I can only imagine how much the game has changed shape during its development.  It’s a pretty cool thing to actually get to experience.

For anybody who might not be aware, Wasteland 2 is the sequel to Wasteland and is pretty much the closest thing we will ever get to a classic Fallout experience. Actually, I think the same people who made Wasteland also did Fallout 1 and are now working on Wasteland 2. To be honest I kind of get all of these developers like Tim Cain and Brian Fargo mixed up, and I can never remember who made Fallout but didn’t work on 2 and who did Arcanum and so on. Anyway, the original Wasteland came out like a year or so after I was born so I never really got a good chance to play it. I do remember years and years ago trying the game out, but I think I might have been too dumb to understand what to do and what was going on. It happens from time to time. (more…)
