Robot Arena 3

[Badger]

I don't think a console release would be wise, the costs involved are so much higher than PC and it might be hard to get the bot building mechanics right with a controller.

I'm not even going to dignify the possibility of a mobile port with a thought.

[Mecha]

Although it would be fairly bad compared to PC, I think a release on Xbox and Playstation could lead to a decent amount of exposure for Robot Arena. I am very glad they seem to be interested in how things progress and what we want to see. In the 'what question should we have asked' bit, I said they should have asked whether or not we want more robots available in one match (more than the current 4 limit.) I know it may lag on some people's computers, but it's always nice to have the option if you have a stronger computer.

I have to say, my hopes for RA3 have shot up and I hope they don't disappoint :)

I agree, I'm glad they are considering a console release.

I'm like 95% sure this is a troll by someone from GTM

Robot Arena 3 on PlayStation4 alongside the likes of Final Fantasy XV, Uncharted 4 and Tales of Zestiria. Is this a dream? I know possiblity but still.

Just the way the survey is set out and the questions asked doesn't seem like something a game dev would do, along with the barebones nature of the website, the sh**tyness of the logo and the lack of proper promo material. Not to mention the fact that I don't know why a dev team would continue a series that was shovelware to begin with and has been dead for 10+ years rather than make a new IP.

I mean I really, really hope I'm wrong, but it just doesn't seem likely to me.

im so pumped but im still soooooooooo skeptical
even if it is real it sounds extremely early in development when they said in march there would be info this summer and this is the first thing we've heard since then

still, please everyone fill out the form. I'd encourage everyone to really emphasize online multiplayer (ra2 needed badly) and the ability to easily mod (ra2's lifeline)

Done, everyone should do this

I never said that the console ports would be good, nor did I say they are a good idea but it would create come exposure for those browsing the store in search for their next game to buy.

Definitely this. The only reason RA2 stayed alive so long was due to things like DSL keeping it going.

[Reier]

Like I said before, I can almost guarantee this game is going to be cheap. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, because RA2 was exactly the same. Thing is, RA2 was fun despite its flaws. I hope this will be too. I really don't care about the production values as long as it's a blast.

It would be interesting to see a console release, I mean hey, most builders I know who drive their bot use an Xbox 360 or PS3 controller, but I can imagine building would be a bit of a pain in the ass.

But all I ask for RA3 is similar to what I hope the next Sonic game to be.  A good game that's fun to play and I can replay for a long time.

Fair point, but putting extra funding into ports that would only achieve 'exposure' is not something that a game dev with such limited resources should do. Especially if that exposure turns into "man, this game sucks"

Yeah, I can see it now.

Make sure you put "no premium content" in the "other suggestions" section.  I don't any TF2 BS, like paying real money to give your bot a hat.

[Meganerdbomb]

Glad to see more news of this. It's exciting news!

[cephalopod]

Exactly what I did.
Except I also moaned at the lack of hammer/axe in the favourite bot bit and said make Beta possible and effective :')

[Thyrus]

Complained about the multiplayer too and also that modding is supposed to be possible.

As my own question I asked "should we take care of the Sourcecode this time?"

[Dexterhunter]

"Do you still play Robot Arena 2?"


hahhhh........
