hmmmmmmm this is really weird. Why would InXile, who can barely handle shipping a low budget low-grade game (everything they've ever done), feel like they are remotely ready to make any game with complexities. Their games are barely B- grade games how can they jump to AAA. Makes no sense. Big daddy microsoft probably are shoveling money into them after they realized they can't keep a promise.

Holy shit, it's no wonder it seemed like Brian aged 20 years between WL2 campaign and WL2 release.

The gold digger siphoned his soul, and then he scooped up what little remained and sold it to Microsoft.

Most tragic.

Wonder what Numenera would be like as a first-person setting.

-I've also heard good things about inXile. I've heard nothing about their new major project other than the pitch was really unique.
-They have two smaller projects in development, in addition to Wasteland 3, but I've heard one will probably get shelved.
-The other is a battle royale that was originally designed for VR, but is now non-VR as well to exist on the Xbox family of devices.

The other is a battle royale

Why people keep surprised about it when I've been posting about that Wasteland FPS project, including a screenshot, here in this thread.

It would be more accurate to say I'm curious what that kind of pulp "science fantasy" aesthetic would look like in a first person setting.

Server app for inXile's Wasteland: Frostpoint: https://steamdb.info/app/774581/ (so this is the main app: https://steamdb.info/app/684030/)

Information about the main app is exposed by SteamDB (probably by the new experimental crowdsourcing method) https://steamdb.info/app/684030/info/

Icon:

It's set to VR only unlike the supposed leak but it can change anyway.

Some insider (or someone that it's plausible to know this stuff?) posted about Inxile:

inXile will be premiere XGS RPG powerhouse. They have biggest budget for any RPG currently in development at XGS. And game is very ambitious and it is 5 years project. Don't expect it before 2024. With COVID19 I'll even go to 2025.

But man it will be worthy, studio is going trough biggest transformation in industry.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/xb...eed-of-the-ssds.176346/page-354#post-34588848

I don't know why they would get the biggest budget for an rpg and not Obsidian but whatever....

 

[rusty_shackleford]

FPS-RPG Wasteout CONFIRMED!

 

[PrK]

In the correct timeline they would be making Meantime as originally envisioned. Alas..

 

[Roguey]

Literally Microsoft

 

[Atlet]

Obsidian and inXile will return our faith in Rpg's again.

It gives me some faith that they are bought by Microsoft because Obsidian and inXile will at least have more money to do their stuff, and a bigger audience to maybe experience better rpgs. The thing that sucks though is that I'll have to use the windows store to play them...
