Nice. W2 is still sitting in my library basically unplayed. Gave it 4+ hours back when it came out but still need to return to it.

Xbox release is fantastic news.

Yeah, it's fun to see old games jump to new platforms so long after the fact.

That looks promising, I loved the original back in the day, will definitely play through again.

It's a shame Bethesda won't remaster Fallout 1/2 like this.

Cool, gives me a reason to test the first Wasteland. 🙂

Good to hear it's coming to Xbox. I'm largely console-only these days but having backed both Wasteland 2 and Bard's Tale 4 on KS, it sucked not being able to easily play them after release. I'm glad they're working towards getting all of these on consoles.

Wasteland 1 can definitely benefit from some modern interface and QoL features, so I'm excited for this one.

I did not know this was coming. Day 1 on xbox.

Krome did an amazing job on BT1-3 and this is really good news.

 

[Gush]

Wow, was wondering why we hadn't heard anything about this in a while. This is above and beyond what I had expected.

That actually looks really good. Loved messing around with Bards trilogy remaster.

I kinda want a game+ where the unused paragraphs are repurposed now.

Whoa! Krome? Those are the same guys who made Ty the Tasmanian Tiger games!

YMMV on what you think "amazing" looks like.

Compared to the original it does. ;)

I have to admit it does look particularly bad when compared to the Bards Tale remasters.

Colors are all over the place and everything just looks slapped together.

Sweet!

I actually tried to play the original Wasteland a couple years ago because it came with Wasteland 2, but found it... kinda hard to go back to those aged games when I have no nostalgia for them.

I still need to finish Wasteland 2, too lol.

I had no idea this existed until now. It is looking pretty good to me.

I hope they also update Wasteland 2 with 4K visuals, the game looks quite rough on Xbox One.

I really don't care for how it looks... there does not appear to be any sort of cohesive art direction.

Iono, it's got the whole garish EGA thing going on.
