By watching the trailer again I noticed another few things:

- the angeld connectors are not centerd. I hope you can either place them like this if you want to or if this is done by mistake it will be fixed.
- Before attaching the mace it appears inside of the bot for some reason and stays there for a few frames

This is a huge one but it explains itself

You're looking too much into the status UI, the other robot they were testing had the exact same readings. Seems to be a static placeholder.

I know I'm reading way to much into this but that's actually what makes it kinda fun :D

I don't mind the graphics... since when this game was about graphics ? Hell, we play a 2003 game.

Quote like that make my artistic visionary blood boils. Just because you guys still play a 2003 game doesn't mean it's ok to make them suited for those same players in the year 2016. 13 years later... Honestly though, if they can't keep up with realism graphic like Star Citizen or ARK. The least they can do is go for painted-toon style like WoW, DOTA2, Shadowrun Return... etc. etc. These style are less CPU/GPU resource demanding.

Of course... long as they can make just about everything mod-friendly, I'll be gladly to help out with top quality stuff. Realism or Toon, either ways.

EDIT: Btw... shouldn't we create a new thread section for this forum? For Robot Arena 3 related topics.

I think that should happen, at some point. However, it'd just be empty space right now because the game's not even out. Hopefully, if we find the game fun, tournaments will be happening for them asap, too.

pumped to actually be able to drive a bot in a tournament, that's like half the fun for me

i've forgotten how much I want this.

even if the game is literally RA2 with better online, I'll shell out at least $30 for it

The black and yellow one looks like Backslash and Emergency had a baby

"Emergency babyyyyyy"

Anyway, this looks pretty alright. I'm hyped more now than ever.

Just a few worries, like most it seems are the mod support and the stock items. I don't mind the stock items, and hopefully that meas we may be able to import bots from RA2. I won't hold my breath on that, but it would be kinda cool. At the very least bots from RA2 would be easily remake-able.

Lets for a moment pause the thoughts of the old components and say the possibility of importing old designs and possibly old mods is actually a thing. The game may be limited in some ways to accommodate that. And i'd be ok with that. As long as other concerns we have are addressed, which a lot of them appear to be with the chassis customization and moving parts around after the fact. The concept art of the project also makes it look like they do indeed want to add components into the game that are completely new. Now I know there's a huge difference between an artists representation of what someone wants to do and what is actually done, but the hope is there.
And if the code is hampered a little more to allow old mods to be implemented into the game, I think that'd be fine. It'd mean we could hit the ground running with DSL and the RW Mod (which i've found is pretty buggy, but i'll talk about that elsewhere). I just hope that that isn't all we can do with it. I hope the code is improved enough to allow for things that you guys wanted to do with RA2 but just couldn't. Maybe not everything, but at least a good chunk.

But I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. Was really happy to see the email though, that got me excited. The Steam page even more excited. Also something that no one else has seemed to mention but YAY 16:9 support. The slight distortion I get from playing RA2 right now and the mouse speed increase bothers me sooooo much.

I personally don't mind. I am still buying this game on the 26th.

Hopefully there will be ways for people to add their own components and/or (hopefully NOT or) really cheap DLC. Either way, as long as we aren't stuck with the stock components, I am fine with them.

How much will that seasonpass be?

dont give them ideas

Vincent · « **Reply #535 on:** March 18, 2016, 04:16:10 AM »

Agreed. Let's not... people can easily give this game thumb-down rating into the oblivion on Steam. Hell, I'm surprised they didn't start off as Early Access... because it really doesn't look like they put enough effort into it to make it a "Golden" Release.

sh**... now I'm even more worried.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #536 on:** March 18, 2016, 05:11:06 AM »

well if the e-mail is any indication they are reading this thread. hopefully that means we can get some of the features we've been hoping for.

Tygron · « **Reply #537 on:** March 18, 2016, 05:38:49 AM »

Well clearly they're reading this thread so that means they know what we're worried about and hopefully will take action to make sure that isn't the case.

Nah, if flamethrowers are legal in BB, cheatbot as we know it isn't really necessary

Poll

What do you think of RA3 now?
