      @mysticolored 2 года назад +29

      True I think it's because the game is based on Gurps which is a system for putting an setting in a DND style game and that's how your character would typically look as a figurine but I also like the person

    This is amazing. I've never seen another remaster that so perfectly keeps all of the things of the original that made it special while also giving the much needed facelift. I would hate if they remastered it to play like a modern top down isometric RPG because that's just not what Wasteland 1 is. Wasteland 2 is like that, but the game was designed with that kind of play in mind. This is a relic of a long gone type of RPG that may seem strange to modern players or those unacquainted with the style of old DOS rpgs, but it's great that we have this shinier, faster version of the game but that it still plays like the old build, leaving things for your imagination to do. That's something I miss about old games. Sure, it's great having these amazing looking, cinematic games in 2020, but there's something special about games that don't give you everything up front and compel you to imagine the action going on. It's comparable to a great book in which things may be vividly described, but it's up to your imagination to visualize it for yourself. I'm really happy with the way they've handled this project, and I hope it got some new folk to go back to the original progenitor of series like Fallout.

      Such bs. Remaster version is so much worse in any possible meaning, even "facelift" you say is bs. Remastered images are far less qualitative than images in original (and they had animations even, while nothing like that in shitty remastered).

    Say what you will, but this is actually pretty awesome! The only complaints I have are:
    1. They could’ve added sprites for the characters in combat. For example, when a character gets hit, they would’ve had a sprite that showed them grimacing.
    2. The circle beneath the player is kind of distracting.
    Other than those two things, I really look forward to buying the game.

    The remaster looks better, but it's missing some important features. Notably it lacks the macro feature that allowed you to automate some of the tedious repetition. Who wants to hit U 4 S 3 -> to unlock a door to your right? Especially when it probably takes a dozen or more tries to do any door appropriate to your character level.
    Still, having stuck my party in an unwinnable save state, having multiple save games so I can go back to before the giant coyote monster put all but my "camp on the surface to heal up" guy in critical condition while they had all my keys. Autosave when I'm forced to switch to the surface guy and the game is over, have to restart completely. I ain't got time for that any more.

    Personally I think video games are art and that's a big reason why I like them. If I wanted a game with fancy graphics I'd play one, and leave these old games for when I want that kind of art style. And the hardware used to make graphics great impacts the style. I stare at any one generation of graphics for too long it looks dull and all the same. Then it's refresh to go from PS5 to the Amiga, or the other way around. Also game makers aren't the leaders of computerized animation anymore, Hollywood is. This video popped up and I just felt like popping in here to say that. Honestly, an old game with modern improvements looks infinitely more outdated than it's original version. The original looks different. This just looks like something inferior to other new products.

    I'm still mixed on this remake. It's a weird case where it's so true to the original, yet not the original, that I don't know who it's supposed to appeal to. It's not anymore newcomer friendly than the OG (Unless your issue was "No polygons"), all the QoL stuff is already in the "Original Classic" version, it has no new content for old fans, it's just the original game. With polygons.
    I was expecting something like, say, the Final Fantasy 4 3D remake. A remixed experience that can introduce a new audience while also catering to veterans (In FFIV's case, the 3D version provided a level of challenge not seen in any other version of FFIV. Especially in America since our FFIV, which we called FFII, was dumbed down to ridiculous levels). I wasn't expecting it to play like Wasteland 2 (Which would've meshed horribly), but I was expecting something more than just "What if Wasteland had 3D visuals that won't age as well as the 2D visuals?".
    Cause yeah, call me a boomed, 2D ages better than 3D. There's a reason a game like Ultima VII still looks fantastic 30 years later. Wasteland didn't even have great 2D visuals (It never had a true VGA upgrade). They could've given it some HD 2D sprites with stylized backgrounds and animations and it'd have been a better "definitive edition".

    I don't have a problem with the 3d tabletop things is going for, but I wish it was a bit more gritty, with more muted colors. The still images on message pop ups kind of give a good vibe but then you get back to the rather goofy looking 3d map. Seems like a missed opportunity to really enhance the gameplay through a more atmospheric approach, which wouldn't need more costs, but rather a more inspired art direction.

It seems really similar, I haven't played it or the original Fallout but wow! Am I interested!

    Everyone wishing they had remade the game instead of remastering it are missing the point, if they did that, the game would lose it's identity, it would no longer be "Wasteland." What made people like the original at all is more worth preserving than creating whatever crap you want them to modernize it into.

      @issue2505 2 года назад +2

      I mean, if that actually worked, we could say it's identity was already ruined with the remaster, I think what made the game much better was the fact that it's graphics and resources were so limited that it was fun, all was in your head, you were more creative enough to imagine the distinct scenarios and events that happend because your computer in those years was unable to play properly a 5 second audio
