Brian Fargo's inXile Entertainment may be setting up a Kickstarter project for a true sequel to Wasteland.
Fargo has the rights to the Wasteland title and IP along with The Bard's Tale. The last Bard's Tale game came out many moons ago for the PS2 and the original Xbox. It was pretty funny but... well, it had issues.
This time around, Fargo is quick to emphasize that any Wasteland sequel will be PC-centric and faithful to the original - "...focusing on top-down, probably isometric, party based, skill based -- where if you'd just finished playing Wasteland and moved onto this you'd feel comfortable."
Wait. Isometric? Wasteland In Name Only!
I usually play Wasteland once a year or two - it's one of the oldest games that remain in my regular rotation (Battletech: The Crescent Hawks' Inception is another). Hell, I even managed to get it to run on my iPad!
So yes, I'm very much the target audience for this little announcement.
