Wasteland Playing Cards, New Director's Cut Screenshots
Hey Exiles,
We wanted to get an update out to you all before the 4th of July holiday weekend, and have a few things we thought we'd share with you.
First, in case you missed it - in our last update, we announced that we're renaming our upcoming version of Wasteland 2 for PC and consoles as Wasteland 2 Director's Cut. It is still coming free to all owners on PC in late summer this year! Be sure to check out this little trailer we put together:
Limited Edition Wasteland Playing Cards – Now on Kickstarter!
The coolest thing we want to share today is a collaboration we started with Jackson Robinson, a Kickstarter veteran who has successfully funded and delivered on numerous projects on this service. His specialty is creating unique, themed, high-quality playing cards. Several of us backed his earlier projects, so when he pitched us the idea of doing a Wasteland-themed deck of cards, inspired by the story and characters of our game, we felt that it was a natural fit.
As Jackson is an avid gamer and industry veteran, along with a true believer in the power of crowdfunding, we have total confidence in him to create high-quality cards that you'll enjoy either collecting or using with your friends for all kinds of tabletop card games.
We were ecstatic to see this Kickstarter hit its funding goal in just a couple of hours after launch, but there's four weeks left for you to jump on board and get this unique collectable! Remember that these cards are limited-edition, and won't be available after the Kickstarter campaign, so get them now while they're hot!
Wasteland 2 Director's Cut Media Update
The Director's Cut edition of Wasteland 2 is progressing well. We are running on all cylinders testing, polishing, and taking it through the required rigmarole for release. This includes the fun stuff – making sure the game is balanced and plays great – to the less exciting but still necessary, such as getting updated age ratings, re-doing the manual, creating new box art, and the big one, console certification.
We'll have more in-depth coverage as we get closer to release, but we wanted to share some brand-new screenshots and a few new clips from the trenches. Enjoy!

I did play the "original" version through and the changes they're showing here are quite big, graphically and gameplay wise, as those quirks and perks should alter the characters somewhat. Also the additional voice acting is pretty interesting and the new models and shaders really give a far better impact. This is a good excuse to replay the game.

Really glad that I didn't have time to play Wasteland 2 and Original Sin. Great support from devs, can't wait to finally have a go at them!

I was likewise wondering if I should hold off playing till the DC is released, I've not had time to play yet, as I've been finishing off other things

Anyone comment on the updated graphics? Is it a big difference or slight changes? I havent gotten the chance to play my copy yet and decided to wait off till this huge upgrade was done before leaping in.
