I'm guessing it'll be beta in October like they've previously said. I predict it'll be a quick beta of a month or so. And out before the holidays.
They said release was in October. There's no way this game is out by then and I have my doubts we'll see it this year, though this will be one of those times where I'll be ecstatic to be wrong
Well he did post that on the 28th of August, so logically "tomorrow" would be referring to the 29th no? Perhaps it was just a slip up or something? It's not like the KS update was "backer only" so the video is viewable to everyone.
Heh the $35 and above "exclusive" backer reward 4 part developer diary has had the first part put up - and it's just a Youtube video. Presumably they made it private or something, but that just means it won't turn up in a search. Anyone with the direct link can watch it. They might as well just post it for everyone and be done with it in that case.

The video is disappointing. I thought it was going to get into the actual process of developing the game, but instead it's like listening to all the same interview answers we've heard before.
I have to say, after watching the video, the visuals are shockingly bad It's like looking at Fallout circa 1997 and seeing 3D models rather than sprites... texture quality is low, model quality is low, animations are poor. I know I'm going to take a lot of flak for saying that, but it really is how it is

I kind of agree. However it still looks better than I thought it would - during the Kickstarter campaign I assumed it was going to be a top-down 2D game or something. InXile's last game was Choplifter HD which also looked bad.

Kinda agree. I thought the screenshots were shitty cause of bad compression or something but it seems the game actually looks like that. Maybe it's better live?
Ah well, perhaps you're right... playing it for ourselves might feel/look different. I guess I was just expecting a little more. I have no doubt the gameplay will be top notch at least
@DCB
Yeah, damn people for having an opinion! Damn those picky bastards!
People bitched and moaned for years about the death of the classic RPG and the fact that all we get these days are console action-RPGs. Then when it seems we are finally getting a renaissance of the old school RPG, with the likes of Wasteland 2, people complain that they don't look pretty enough.
People have moaned about the death of the cRPG but that doesn't mean we should be getting 90s era visuals with our little renaissance, it's called progression, we don't actually have to live during THE renaissance Indie-style pixel-art games with an emphasis on their particular art style are completely different from a game that is being rendered in in/with a 3D engine with 3D assets that looks like something from the 90s. Being one of the more successful KS projects, there's no reason why the texture and model quality should be so low, which is all I'm saying.
I'd much rather have a good looking 2D game than a bad looking 3D one.
I think it looks okay, yeah sure graphically and animations etc aren't as polished as one would hope but hopefully they will polish it a bit more before release. The rest looks good though.
Game play looks nice but i agree that the GFX is lacking.
Mostly i think its the blend textures that i really don't like, feels like there is a filter with blur on top of it all. Cant be to hard to fix that?
I think this will be a good game tho but from what i have seen so far i think PE is gonna be the better of the two, maybe even with a relative big margin.
Judging by the demo the game feel something like 65-75% done, and it will be out in 2 months? Looks like they could use 4-6 month more to me.

SweetFX's sharpening setting can probably minimize the blur, I use it in every game that has a crappy blur filter. And I agree PE will probably be better, however I think Wasteland 2 will beat it when it comes to the variety of gameplay choices available to players.

I love what I've seen so far.
