HOT OFF THE PRESSES! The donations for the upcomming sequel to one of gaming histories most important games is well on its way, and the guys over at inXile games have just put out their first piece of footage of the game! Watch a few character intros and follow along with Development Director Chris Keenan as he shows off how the game works.
If you aren’t privy to what Wasteland is, let me dish out some knowledge.
Way back in 1988 a game called Wasteland came out. It was a nifty RPG set in a post nuclear America. Players take up the role of the Desert Rangers, the last of the US Army, and go out defending what is left of human civilization. Sound familiar? Kind of Fallout familiar? Well, as it turns out, Wasteland was the inspiration for the entire Fallout series, and even pays homage to the Desert Rangers in New Vegas.
Back in March of 2012 a Kickstarter campaign was created in or
der to fund a proper sequel to such an important game. Their goal of $900,000 was reached in 43 fricken hours! And what we just watched is the fruit of their labor!
Everything looks incredible to me, and I am getting some great vibes of the Commando games. I am VERY excited for this, and cannot wait for more news. You can be sure we will keep you guys up to date!
