Wasteland 2 is by all accounts a game that shouldn't exist. It's a sequel to a 1998 title of the same name, and is considered by most to be the spiritual forerunner of the Fallout series. After the first game, the rights to the game got swallowed up in a vortex of legal ownership and licensing hell.

Thanks to a wildly popular Kickstarter campaign the game get enough funding, $600,000 in the first day, and Wastelands 2 is now very close to being a real thing. Up to this point we've only seen some concept art and some screens, but this new trailer manages to capture the atmosphere of the game perfectly.The composer Mark Morgan, who created the soundtracks for Fallout and Fallout 2 was also hired to compose music for the game, so that's going to make this game even more rad.
