i assume this will remain the place for mods while there will be a lot of people showcasing, setting up tournaments, asking questions, etc. on steam

Badnik96 · « **Reply #601 on:** March 20, 2016, 01:17:33 AM »

they've already said they're not setting up another forum for us. maybe the steam one will see some use but i expect most activity will stay here.

i honestly think there WILL be an influx of newbies after RA3 but nothing tsunami-like, so we'll be fine.

Someone should also tweet Pewdiepie. He once mentioned Robot Wars and how much fun that was. Also he used to play besige and RA3 will allow you to build penises as well

OH GOD... No. Bloody no. Don't even dare. I don't care about the penis design jokes or his passion for robot games, but he has a very large followers count. If the game wasn't even finished nor well developed after the first release, he could easily send the wrong message about the game itself and people would remember that for a long time. Let RA3 grow on its own.

We don't need the monster-sized tsunami of under-educated so-called gamers.

Comment from the dev on the Steam news post confirms they're watching this thread as well for questions

Chill. I was just suggesting this as he got some reach. Not a huge fan of nerdcube myself but if this helps the game. Also you will have to deal with some idiots even without those two. But after some time thye will leave

Larger playerbase > more online players > game has longer lifetime and is more likely to get better support from the devs. Plus more new players gives a better chance of a new geice or Mr AS finding the game and contributing to the community

We have enough cancer here.

If you inform him of this I will reach through the internet and strangle you.

It's not a screen name I'm aware of, nor does he have friends I am aware of. Probably someone who found it via Nerd3 or several pages up the Upcoming games list

I think there's a lot more lurkers here than any of us actually realise. So many people talk about GTM and RA2 in the robot combat communities yet don't have accounts (the 'it's a hoax' hoax that mnb set up tricked SO MANY people it's crazy)

Maka · « **Reply #615 on:** March 20, 2016, 08:48:18 PM »

I am glad to see this is actually coming to fruition. I got a little bit sick of RA2 over the past year (that, along with life events, et cetera, et cetera). This game is going to be a big breath of fresh air, hopefully.

Vincent · « **Reply #616 on:** March 20, 2016, 10:26:49 PM »

I'm not really a fan of playing a game that could work on a 9+ years old computer.

Long as the developers know how to make best use of LOD, texture scaling and Low-to-High settings. With Unity 5, it shouldn't be too hard. They just also need to add OpenGL into it, so it could played on Linux and Mac platforms.

Unity 5 already has DX9-DX11 and OpenGL built in.

Just realized that with the new 5-layer chassis system, you'll be able to make a proper circular chassis to make full body drums with without BFE'ing the thing to hell, or at least come pretty close with a decagon.

This would be what your side view looks like. Numbers represent layers that you'd adjust your chassis to look like. It'd be hard, but possible.

This post pissed me off so much. It just shows off the elitist "PC MURRSTURR RAYSS ZOMG" that, frankly, turns me away from buying a proper pc. High requirements does not make the game better. In fact, that is usually quite the opposite.

Poll

What do you think of RA3 now?
