Wasteland 2: Director's Cut Has A Trailer, It's Exciting

By - | Views: 13,507
Wasteland 2: Director's Cut has me pretty damn excited, especially as I haven't played much of it yet. The new "E3" (bit late aren't you InXile?) trailer is looking great.

I'm very much looking forward to it, as Wasteland 2 was already enjoyable, but all the extra goodies will be very welcome. The upgrade to Unity 5 should bring us some good performance boosts too.

It will be out sometime in the late summer apparently. They aren't giving an exact date just yet.

Are you excited? Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I've put 82 hours into Wasteland 2 - and enough is enough. :)

I'm waiting for the update before I can play it. One thing I hate about the current release are the textures. They look super blurry. In Windows you can force the game to render in 4K and downsample and things looks substantially better but there is a huge performance hit. And in Linux I'm not sure whether the official drivers even supports DSR.

I put 100 hours into the game and I'm ready for more. I was going to start a second playthrough on supreme jerk difficulty, but then the news of the Game of the Year Director's Cut Edition broke and I decided to hold off until that comes out.

So will I have to buy it again or upgrade will be free?

I rather they didn't spend any more money on voice acting so they could have actually improved the crappy storytelling and mundane battle system. A few technically fixes isn't good enough for me to replay that drek.

I don't much care until they improve the out-of-combat gameplay. The lack of any concept of "take 20" outside of combat left me utterly unable to get in to it (I can understand how someone might risk a critical failure in combat, but it makes no sense outside of combat) and the dialog system was pretty poor when it came to delivering the dialog (the dialog itself was competent, but the system that delivered it made it feel disjointed, which made me care quite a lot less what was going on). The combat wasn't good enough to make up for all that.

I'm still glad I bought it, I'm just not interested in finishing the game (let alone starting over with fancy updates) unless some improvements are made to those systems.

It's a free upgrade for all current owners.

Been thinking of playing this, do I need to have played the first Wasteland to get into this?

No. It's essentially a remake of the original game, not a sequel.

Never heard such, and it seems the fans do not agree either:

(I cannot really remember much of the original. Hey, it's about... 25(?) years ago!)
@Superuser: No need to have played the original!
