Great news for all you classic game afficionadoes and old fogies (like me) out there. Atleast, we can hope that it is!: Inxile has announced that they are remaking/making a direct sequel to, what was long considered by many to be the greatest computer role-playing game of all time---

Wasteland.

If you've never heard of Wasteland, it was the inspiration for the Fallout series, and one of the very first video games to attempt (and achieve) a mature plot, with a strong focus towards story, over graphics.

If you're interested, the Inxile company has a website up, with a blog about the sequel's progress.

And if you're just interested in the original game, I was able to find a free version online pretty easily. The graphics are primitive pixel-art, as you can expect, but the game itself is still a big and fascinating look at a post-apocalyptic sci-fi world.

It was the 10th suggestion after searching for wasteland in 'other games'.

It's also on Page 5. And 5 < 10.

Ooh, also, it was the first thread about this subject.  And 1 < 5.

Wow. For once, I'm seriously considering donating to a Kickstarter project, and that's after they've over doubled their goal. Heck, they've almost tripled it.

$15 for the equivalent of a triple-A game?

We’re determined to keep the gritty, grim and satirical writing. We’re going to pitch those moral dilemmas at you. You’re going to be faced with the consequences of your actions.

Sold. If they do half as well as they're hoping to, this game will be awesome.

Hilarious:
"Whats this? You are giving more to the +30$ tier?  Why you neglecting us 15$ tiers?"

"Whats this?  You are whining about higher tiers getting even more stuff?  If you want all that stuff, up your 15$ to 30$ or stfu."

osnap. I didn't even see the soundtrack that comes with the $30 one. I'm a sucker for soundtracks.

These guys are good.

Bit of a Necro but this showed up on a search and...

How on earth did I miss this???

Kickstarter is long over. I wonder if I can still donate to them and get it. Must investigate.

I don't think you can still donate, but you can pre-order: http://wasteland.inxile-entertainment.com/store

Necro, because first gameplay video!

The first 2.5 minutes are a sort of setting overview and a briefing for the quest being done in the video. Then there's an overview of the UI customization. Actual gameplay starts at like 3:50.

I really like the atmosphere they seem to be going for. The ambient soundtrack especially, but also the graphics style seems much better than the first screenshot.
I'm kinda hyped now, honestly.

I have to say, it's looking bona fide. I like the whole UI customization thing and the aesthetics are very nice.
