However, don’t count on seeing the game coming to Xbox Live Arcade or PlayStation Network, as Fargo says that there is no plan to bring the game to console.
According to Fargo, ”It is imperative that we deliver the core PC experience that the fans are expecting here and I want to avoid any elements that could distract us.”
The reason for not working on a console version is the interface. ”The console interface is quite different when you consider the input device and proximity to the screen whereas the Mac and Linux are pretty much identical to that of the ‘PC’,” Fargo explained. ”We will consider a tablet version due to the similarity of the screen and interface but even on that we need to do a bit more research.”
Fargo also related the story of one Wasteland 2 backer who donated $10,000 to the project. The backer stated that he’d pirated the original Wasteland as a kid, and felt he could repay Fargo with the generous donation.
