By way of twitter, InXile's Brian Fargo shares a piece from the Wasteland project the company was working on a few years back, when Fallout artist Jason D. Anderson was with the company.

I don't even understand what that thing in the left bottom corner is. I sincerely hope that it's not something like Fallout-esque 50s technology, I really want to play a more of an 80s/90s apocalypse (with the respective music, of course).
Also, damn, Van Buren. Naughty Mr Caen. |

The display and the buttons don't look retro-futuristic to me at all.. well okay, maybe now that we're in 2012 that stuff could be considered retro-futuristic, but there's still plenty of similar tech available. Looks like something that could have been conceived/built in the 80s/90s.

| Why does the radio have sharp looking pieces but the tape is all blurred? It's like someone's photoshopped googled images together. |

Uh, maybe that's because Wasteland was never supposed to be retrofuturistic?

Uhm, I was replying to Sub-human who was talking about 50s-esque techonology.

Apparently taping batteries to an old cellphone makes it work.
Who knew.

It wasn't originally, but I think it would make sense for it to become retrofuturistic now, but with 1980s/1990s retro style instead of 1950s like in Fallout. This is the only way the original Wasteland backstory could remain canon.

"Retro-futuristic" 1980/1990's would be pretty awesome, now that I think about it.

I always imagined Wasteland like that, even before I played it - when I read about it for the first time.
It would be great if the sequel is done like that.

I like the concept art. What is it called? Tech-Punk? Tech-Junk-Punk? Reminds me of that computer nerd/god you visit in The Mysterious Journey.

And catering to a target demographic, as dreadful as it sounds out of context ;)

I just classed it as Industrial 80's or 90's, the punk monicker gets thrown around way to much. 
A Mad Max/80's Action Movie vibe would be totally awesome.

Exactly, that should be the way to go. |

I think the best intro song would be Queen's Hammer to Fall. Although them having the money to license a Queen song is rather unlikely.

Just surrender and it won't hurt at all
