Took the time to look at this one screenshot.



Sigh... where do I begin? Ok, the people in the background are actually smaller in general when comparing them to the bot... or those amber lights.... or the floor saws.

Speaking of which... the saw is paper thin. This isn't going look good on a HD screen.

Overall, the modeling work is very poor. Had to take a look at the system requirement spec to get some idea.

OS: Windows Vista®, Windows® 7, Windows® 8, Windows® 10
Processor: Intel® Pentium® processor (or equivalent AMD processor) 2.0 GHz or faster
Memory: 2 GB RAM
Graphics: DirectX® 9.0 compatible or higher video card with 512MB of Video RAM
DirectX: Version 9.0c
Storage: 1 GB available space

Figured... This isn't good. They must be also targeting mobile/tablet users. But I don't see anything about Android or iOS.   Maybe they're rushing the whole project.
Since they're on Steam, it's a good chance they'll try to make best use of the Workshop feature for more mod-friendly support.

They better... they have to...  it's the only way it can grow.

lol

also it's interesting that they're using the old logo on the arena floor, maybe it's a place holder and will be replaced with the new one? who knows.

don't forget unlike RA2 they can always update it easily after release with steam.

also I highly suspect this is many of the dev's first game, i'd give them some slack

Important questions are raised at this moment for us modders...

  • Are they using Havok again?
  • What game engine, or which programming language?
  • Workshop for mod-support?
  • Why DX9?   (this one is actually a very important question because we shouldn't be using aging tech.)
  • Possible open source with limited license use?

I may have to unretire!

I got about 3-4 weeks into semi-retirement and now this all happens. Thanks Gabriel Interactive :P

Guess I should throw the avatar back up...

Who cries about graphics? All I know is ****ing decent multiplayer, and maybe moddability.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

IMO the graphics are a lot better than RA2.

Who the **** cares about the graphics considering they are better than RA2 lmao

As long as it has actually good and not complete sh** multiplayer than doesn't lag and it doesn't crash every 30 minutes I'm fine, also I see they are bringing back the stock arenas too.
i'm only a finalist in BBEAMS 7 which was a meme tournament and I just stole a NAR AI bot and made it dense as ****.
and Not Bushido was a thing that happened, I beat the #1 seed despite being #bad seed.
