Sooooo

- There will be a forest/jungle arena! with a waterfall (moving images as I said in the other thread could also be applied to the bot. yay!)
- steams workshop will support this game wich kinda confirms the modability
- you can build pretty flat bots as seen on the flextop arena
- the flextop arena has really poor looking audiance pictures with low res it seems
- havn't seen many new components if any at all

It would be cool if RA3 uses the same kind of files as RA2 so DSL 2.2/3 could be applied for RA3. otherwise all the years of work would lead to nowhere somehow :/
also if this was true the Robot Wars mod could instandly be ported to RA3. wouldn't that be cool?

Is anyone else keeping up with the latest RA3 stuff a little bit worried by the generic as hell components? and the fact that all of the bots have looked like crap so far? I am starting to worry that the new game will come out as under developed as the old game.. Like, how disappointed would you be if after all this time, we get a new RA game 13 years later and they still haven't made the game so the chassis can be penetrated/bent as well as components? S***, if RA2 was updated to have much better physics, graphics etc. and a less limited way to build a chassis, we'd pretty much have the game we want. That, and we need a quick, lag-free way to play multiplayer.

To be fair, though, RA2 came out in 2003, a time when playing against other players across the internet was pretty much a brand new concept, so they actually did pretty well considering they managed to do it before xbox/playstation.

Alright guys, stop with the stereotipes, I'm being dead serious here, the fact that NO ONE (not even Rockpapershotgun) has relayed the game's release on a news site really worries me.

It's a niche game made by a new developer with very little impact on the market. Does every single "retro indie platformer" that gets released get an article?

i seriously think you're over-reacting to this.

What Badnik said.

Also, I bet the stakes are not as high for this as something like a AAA game made by well known developers and publishers.

So.... Is it just me, or does the trailer look very early-PS2?

As I don't think someone actually send a mail to them asking about batteries, the snap to grid thing and gtm I can assume they are reading stuff on here. Well thank you in this case for bringing robot arena back. no matter what the causes are I'm glad we got a new game. looking forward to may. it will be released about a week before my birthday so in case anyone wants to get me something here's your chance :P
