Looks really good but I've never played this sort of game. How is it for the peeps that have played it?

occelinho · Jul 30, 2015

Finally! =)

Got it for PC and will get it again for PS4.

dancrane212 · Jul 30, 2015

Any idea if there will be a disc release for this on console? Would be a decent incentive to get me to double dip.

Grim Patron · Jul 30, 2015

Awesome. Definitely getting this on PS4. Any clue if this is getting a retail release? I know Divinity is.

jond76 · Jul 30, 2015

Kickstarted this based on nostalgia and never played it. I just don't PC game anymore. Probably double dip on Xbox.

Xion_Stellar · Jul 30, 2015

Sweet I guess I will finally get around finishing the game than since FFXIV has take so much time out of me.

Tigress · Jul 30, 2015

Damn... too close to Fallout (I get the feeling Wastelands 2 is a game that might last a while) and also might still be playing Mad Max then.

I guess this is good overall though cause it means by the time I'm ready to play it, it will be cheaper.

mejin · Jul 30, 2015

PS4 version for me.

BigTnaples · Jul 30, 2015

Hopefully we'll be able to play it on our Surface Pro 4's by then.

Fushichou187 · Jul 30, 2015

October?! Alright 2015 now has officially too many games that I want to play. WL2 will be a great way to get into a post-apocalyptic state of mind in the run-up to FO4 in November.

Yep.

Tohsaka · Jul 30, 2015

Damn October is really crowded. I'll pick it up on PS4, not sure if I'll play it right away though.

RulkezX · Jul 30, 2015

That's not summer.....

Oh well, it'll shit in my steam library still unplayed.

firehawk12 · Jul 30, 2015

What is director's cut? An upgrade?

Sinatar · Jul 30, 2015

This game is going to get absolutely mauled by Fallout 4 which is a damn shame since it's probably the far stronger game.

The non directors cut version was certainly better then anything Bethesda has farted out anyways.

The game has shifted to Unity 5, new voice work, perks and content. Free upgrade for current owners iirc.

kamineko · Jul 30, 2015

Sweet, will buy again, physical PS4

Back half of 2015 is just crazy

NeoFaff · Jul 30, 2015

Cool. Hopefully I'll get my key from the Bard's Tale ks before then

Ya, I was expecting this month. I guess they needed the time. I look forward to playing it.

Caronte · Jul 30, 2015

So much for Late Summer.

Duraigo · Jul 30, 2015

Wasn't able to get it to PC due to hardware limitations, but will definitely pick it up for PS4. Just hope the controls work well for a controller.

Spl1nter · Jul 30, 2015

Everyone should play this game.

cirrhosis · Jul 30, 2015

Good to get a release date on it. Was beginning to think they'd never release this. Hopefully the mod tools are sufficient and relatively comprehensive.

TheJollyCorner · Jul 30, 2015

Mad Max, Wasteland 2, and Fallout 4 this fall?

Time to start stocking up on bottled water, football pads, and assless chaps!

Worthwhile investments!

I'm conflicted, it's $26 on GamersGate at the moment for PC, and I don't believe there's a price on the PS4 version yet. Decisions!

KZObsessed · Jul 30, 2015

Didn't realise it was coming to PS4, I'll give it a shot.

Hibiki Kurosawa · Jul 30, 2015

Cool, could be a slightly late b-day gift to myself... If there weren't so many other games around then.

Hrm, what does that mean if I have the game from Kickstarter? Do I get the upgrade?

Sinatar · Jul 30, 2015

It's free to all current owners.

aravuus · Jul 30, 2015

I thought it was supposed to be out in summer? It is a bit later than I was hoping for but oh well, at least we now have a date. Really excited to finally give the game a try!

Any Questions · Jul 30, 2015

YES YES ahem... YES!

whoaduh · Jul 30, 2015

Damn. Was hoping for a late august release. This and Divinity: Originial Sin in the same month is too much for me. I'll go with Divinity first and get Wasteland 2 during a slow month next year.

B-B-Bomba! · Jul 30, 2015

Really curious about this. I had never heard of it, or the original. But it came up in a couple of recent PC sales, and i found the cover art so attractive i had to click & find out more. Learned The original was an old legend, and that the long awaited sequel garnered good reviews.

My question to those that own it: is it any good, and will i enjoy it, if i like chocolate ice cream & pictures of badgers?

The cover art had me imagining it as a third person tank based cover shooter, but I'm down for whatever.

inm8num2 · Jul 30, 2015

Here's the relevant KS update posted today.

Lime · Jul 30, 2015

Will savegames be compatible with this new update?

Gunslinger · Jul 30, 2015

Can everything not come out in October?
Is it going to be a physical release or digital only? Count me out if digital.

Can't wait for all the people that will claim this is a Fallout ripoff.

It's getting a retail release on both PS4 and Xbone.

So much stuff, don't know what I'm going to play. Will probably just stare at my tv/monitor.

I don't think so.

As a fallout fan, I'd find that hilarious. If you are going to be a fallout fan, know the history of fallout.

That being said, I don't know if you'll see that. The people most likely to see the resemblance are old school fallout fans who most likely also know their fallout history.

tearsintherain · Jul 30, 2015

For those wondering like me if its free for existing PC owners, yes you will get a free update to this directors cut (formerly GOTY edition). They also added controller support and a bunch more stuff, so I guess wait to play until this update if you haven't started yet (like me):

akira28 · Jul 30, 2015

I've been holding off on getting into Wasteland 2 until the essential version comes out.

I know they say that they're basically different games, plot, path, etc. But I still want to play the game in its perfect version.

Take note, other developers and publishers out there (that aren't CD Project Red). This is how you should treat your customers. This is how you get me to respect you.

Stilton Disco · Jul 30, 2015

Fantastic! PS4 day one!

Fathom · Jul 30, 2015

Character models don't seem too much different yet, hopefully they look better closer to release.

MegaSackman · Jul 30, 2015

Count me in!

They look substantially better, the style is the game though, but the graphical fidelity is way above what it released on. I remember opening the chracter creation screen for the first time, shudders

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
