Can't wait! Hoping for no rule of seven and some nice physics.

Turns out he wasn't joking :O

One thing I'd like to see is modding compatibility and the ability to add your own components etc, that's one of the things that hooked me on RA2 and why the first game didn't hold my interest for long.

Oh, wow. Not sure I entirely like the look of how the robots move. Seems a bit too akin to the Robot Wars games where it just looks like they're sliding. Hope to see some footage of robots leaving the ground and see how well the game handles physics. Also, 26 May. Not too far away!

I've updated the OP with a link the new webpage and the Steam page.

Can someone reup the video to yt, I can't watch steam vids on my phone

so long as the actual physics aren't poo they can make it look like the tires are all made of ice, for all I care.

I am impressed by how good this game looks.

Since they mentioned workshop integration being used for something of a bot exchange, I would hope to see a workshop modding scene too.

huh. wonder how much it'll change by the time it's done. It looks cheap which is to be expected, I just hope it's a lot of fun. I'm actually surprised how much of just RA2: HD it is. It's got like the same stock components and everything. I wonder how different the physics engine is too, like how it handles damage and if components can still pass through each other.

some things i noticed: components such as motors can now pass through the chassis apparently unless they change it later. you can also move components once you've placed them now, thank heavens almighty that needed to be in the game from the beginning. It looks like you can also edit the chassis without removing components too, and seems like components are locked to a grid, but at least the grid looks like it could let you be fairly precise. the component rotation on the other hand looks like it is too precise, it was nice to have set angles on that just to line things up right. its pretty hilarious how the axles rotate after attaching a motor just like in ra2.
Also the flextop arena remake has animated textures for the crowd. I wonder how painting will be in here, it would be nice if you could export textures like before.
didn't see a weight or weightclass class anywhere, even component weights other than that "mass-power-pneumatic-dps" thing on the upper right which doesn't look coded yet.

I really hope they clean up the HUD before release, it seems pretty amateur. I'm also worried on how close the game is to release and how the botlab seems like it has some pretty iffy coding. cross your fingers for easy modding either way.

also no word on how much it'll be. since it's a BB/RW cash grab I bet it'll be pretty cheap. I wouldn't be too hard on the devs either, I bet for many of them it's their first real game.

Anyone gonna stick to ra2? Out of curiosity btw..

If a dumbass like myself can dig out a copy of RA1 in order to retexutre everything to look 500% more cringeworthy, I'm sure other weirdos will still play RA2.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #451 on:** March 15, 2016, 07:26:43 PM »

Pretty weird that they're only remaking the stock components in RA3. I'm hoping custom components or other modding will be possible, since that's essentially what's been keeping RA2 alive for so long.

Stigma · « **Reply #452 on:** March 15, 2016, 07:28:38 PM »

I had a look at the steam page, release date looks like late may to me.

yugitom · « **Reply #453 on:** March 15, 2016, 07:31:19 PM »

It seems to me like placing down components has snap-to-grid going on. I hope this is something you can turn on/off. It'd be useful for matching up drive but annoying if you want to go for a precise design.

MAD Scientist · « **Reply #454 on:** March 15, 2016, 07:41:03 PM »

I guess it's time to dust off Deep Blue for another rodeo eh?

Perhaps the Steam engine can handle Project:Trinity this time?

Thrackerzod · « **Reply #455 on:** March 15, 2016, 07:43:15 PM »

Seems like most (all?) of the components are HDed versions of the current Stock ones.

...what if you could import RA2 bots into this?

please merge the other thread with this one already

Mecha · « **Reply #457 on:** March 15, 2016, 07:44:34 PM »

omg, this all seems so sudden. We have a release date??

I'm liking what they've showed thus far, I have a feeling most people would disagree but I love that they decided to keep the stock components.
Also it would be cool if stacking returned, but also fine if didn't. (There is always RA2) Even if this is a flop, It still would expose tons of new players to the Robot Arena games in general, I'm sure we would get a spike in new users. (Unless the RA team make their own forum for RA3

)

if the lack of boxing gloves in the blunt weapons tab is anything to go by, it doesn't look like the AI parts will be returning (though they may be hidden like in the original game)

Reier · « **Reply #459 on:** March 15, 2016, 07:46:24 PM »

makes me wonder if they'll just remake the stock ai at this rate

also i didn't notice any batteries yet.

Poll

What do you think of RA3 now?
