Game News Wasteland 2 Game of the Year Edition announced...for Xbox One?!

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

Consoles have a significantly bigger library of turn-based games than the PC.

Which doesn't change his statement (nor makes it false) one single bit.
Also, most of these play far worse than PC turn based games or just pale in terms of overall complexity, in fact.

Is this new stuff going to be patched in for the PC version...

It will.

Sure, I was just saying there is a market for turn-based games on consoles.

Just to be clear... these visual enhancements aren't supposed to be already in the trailer, right?

Would you be upset if they were? Though I can't say I'm surprised to see you complain about the graphics again.

Wasteland 2 couldn't grab a single RPG Codex GOTY award so I suspect this is done in pure butthurt. "God damn PC gamers don't appreciate my genius! Fucking PC gamers! I'll turn to consoles! A shitty console at that! A console with like 6 games released on it! Hahahaha! All the GOTY rewards are mine!"

Yes, I'm sure a game developer would base their business decisions entirely on what a largely unknown gaming forum had to say about their game.

glad you got the joke

You underestimate what butthurt can do to a man's mind.

I'm just excited about all the enhancements.<3

EDIT: Though I'm still missing 'sneaking'.:S

It's really hard to imagine playing a game like W2 comfortably on the console.

Consoles have a significantly bigger library of turn-based games than the PC.

Nearly all of them had been created with consoles in mind since the planning stages. I don't recall a single good port of a PC-only stretegy game to the consoles.

 

[Tel Prydain]

Interesting...
I didn't expect this, but I'll give it a shot.

D:OS and WL2 coming to consoles wasn't expected, but it's sure welcome. A good game is a good game, regardless of platform

 

[DeepOcean]

This is a surprise and at same time it isn't, turn based games can be ported rather well on a console. I will be really surprised when Obsidian decides to port Pillars of Eternity for the Xbone, now THAT would be interesting to watch.

 

[joelofdeath]

Fargo on twitter saying update will also include more defined loot drops.

[Jaesun]

So this was designed for the XBox controller all along? That explains a few things...

 

[Obama Phone]

GOTY? heh...

 

[Forest Dweller]

Fargo's probably shitting his pants laughing right now.

 

[Shannow]

A console with like 6 games released on it! Hahahaha!

Well, that only means there's a huge demand for additional games and W2 will rake in the cash. They might even have to open new bank accounts, because the old ones will be full.

Well, that will totally change with W2. Any console gamer who hasn't played W2 will be laughed at an ridiculed. They'll all by a One simply to play W2. And Fargo and MS can close down because of wealth. No further need for the rat race.

Serious: Looking forward to the updates. I don't mind the port. But I hope the conversion doesn't cost them too much money, because I doubt that this will sell well on consoles.

Doesn't that shed a new light on how late Larian is with their so-called balance patch ?
Really i wonder...

 

[Cyberarmy]

Yay?!? I guess...

 

[Greatness]

Uhh, cool? Are they still doing the balance overhaul? That's far more important than any of these announced features

New Quirks & Perks System - Game needs a major rebalance for this to matter. Not only the character system, but all encounters as well. If they half-ass it'll just make the game even easier.

New Precision Strike System - Same as above. It'll need updated AI too. Doing these things right will take a lot of time and I'm not sure that the console sales would be enough to warrant it. Of course they might just put in the minimal effort and use it to milk some extra cash out of a rerelease.

Complete Art & Lighting Overhaul - Don't care. The art assets just aren't good. Changing some render/lighting effects isn't going to fix that.

Updated Character Models - Yeah the ones it shipped with are god awful, but you're always zoomed out in game so this isn't important for me.

New Voice Overs. - Basically the worst cost:value ratio of anything they could do. Of course the console tards can't actually read so this is probably a requirement for an xbone release.

Well, they are moving to Unity 5. To make the game available in Xbox they only need to add support for a gamepad that coincidentally works on Windows as well. Then they choose Xbox One in the building options instead of Windows. There's really little reason to not do it when the amount of work it takes is minimum. It would have to sell only a few hundred* units for the whole thing to not be profitable.

I'd love to make shitty ports of addictive PC games for consoles so the console kiddos would have to upgrade their rigs in pure butthurt. Pity that Fargo looks more like he'd suck Xbox tits instead of using and abusing them to make the master race happy.

 

[felipepepe]

Clearly W2 was developed for the Xbone from the start and Fargo was just playing with us, releasing a downgraded PC port first.

 

[Duraframe300]

We joke, but seriously there is actually a tinsy bit of worry associated with this. Mainly that they now will begin to design controls and gameplay with an eventual console release in mind.

And thats where decline for pc releases begins.

 

[Infinitron]

Not while PC gaming purists are still the ones funding Kickstarters.

We have to keep a watchful eye of course, but we do that anyway.

Why am I not surprised in the slightest., next we learn about Original Sin enchanted edition for consoles with lots of improvements.
