Is the camera for an alternate camera angle or something? Regardless, it looks nice, although it's capability in battle has to be questioned.

The mounted cams are taking advantage of how easy it is to add new viewpoints to a Unity game too.

It's literally as easy as adding a camera GameObject or a camera component to an existing GameObject.

Has anyone mentioned the curved extenders yet? I think those are really cool.

Curved extenders are going to be a big one for me, my bot designs use a lot of the 15 degree connectors lol.

New screenshots snuck onto the Steam page:

Here we see a different take on that ram bot from the updated bot lab picture. Those red domes are clearly some sort of light decoration like X-Terminator's warning lights. It doesn't solve the mystery of the red box though. The chassis' painted jet black, which shows they have colours, but we don't know about those textured bots we've seen before. The ram plates seem to have connection points out the ass. Not sure what sort of metric the weight system is on either.

A battle picture using the same robot's onboard camera. Not much to tell from this one - but one of the opponent bots is named EMERGENCY... and when you notice that, and see the red chassis in front of you with two ram plates mounted high on the bot..

Oh ohh OHHH!
now that looks more like it. Hell yes Emergency! Also now I get what the cameras are for! Nice!

Meganerdbomb · « **Reply #1245 on:** May 20, 2016, 11:49:52 AM »

So we're getting Emergency babyyyyyy after all?

Joelu Of Eagleland · « **Reply #1246 on:** May 20, 2016, 12:27:57 PM »

I was legit expecting a "This isn't even my final form" EMERGENCY. Regardless, great to see it back! I hope to tear it's weapons off in HD.

Unfortunately, because my birthday is in June, I think I'll be held back from getting the game until June 12th. Which kinda sucks, I wanted to own this from day one.

Silverfish · « **Reply #1247 on:** May 20, 2016, 01:19:56 PM »

Oh, wow. We actually get EMERGENCY back. Thank you veddy much, Gabriel. Cannot wait to buy this.

Mouldy · « **Reply #1248 on:** May 20, 2016, 03:53:41 PM »

I'm actually kind of impressed. This doesn't look as sh**ty as I thought it would be.

Maybe there is hope.

Good to see EMERGENCY back on RA3.

AHeapOfGames · « **Reply #1250 on:** May 21, 2016, 03:23:41 AM »

Looks quite impressive! =D Really hyped to get the game now!

Naryar · « **Reply #1251 on:** May 21, 2016, 04:52:57 AM »

Emergency is in the game ? Good. Now we need a rebuild of the stock AI bots.

Well, if we don't have it we'll immediately mod the game and release a stock AI pack, but...

I actually really like that screenshot of the bot lab there

RTC · « **Reply #1253 on:** May 21, 2016, 12:23:13 PM »

Emergency is the only real stock AI robot that needed to return. I barely remember any of the others, but that's probably because it's been an eternity since I've played against the Stock AI.

DeadGenocide · « **Reply #1254 on:** May 21, 2016, 12:33:05 PM »

Lets be fair EMERGENCY was the only real proper Stock AI that anyone needs to remember, but I do want RipBlade, Bezerker, and Coal Miner to comeback.

Also square extenders are back (they are what the ram plates are connected to.)

And the ram plates have a connection point on the side

Well that's interesting, only found out about this yesterday when Battlebots Season 2 showed up on my subbox. I guess its a good thing because I only have to wait 4 days for it! :D

Thanks bby! I'm taking summer classes now but only have 2 classes instead of the usual 5 so I have a lot of free time so I might actually get back to RA2. I'll probably suck at it and insta-quit but hey, worst case scenario I'll just be gone for a day or two until RA3 releases :P

Hi LiNcK, how are things?

I need to work out if we can do RA3 Chinese Whispers.

Pretty good actually! I'm actually finishing college this December and already got a job lined up. Can't believe the first time I came here I was on my first year of middle school.

On a more on topic note though, I noticed in the Q&A the devs mentioned that they are receiving feedback from the RA2 community which I'm assuming is GTM. Any word on the extent of this feedback? Like for example did some high-notoriety people receive a copy to play test and give feedback or do they mean just the "they release pictures we say what we think" that's going on in this thread?

RE3 looks very faithful to RA2 but at the same time it doesn't look like its in a finished state. This is specially worrying since its releasing in 4 days. For example on the latest picture posted here it shows the paintjob of a bot being just a solid black. I'm not askign for a custom paintjob but maybe some polish on how stuff looks like a little bit of texture even in solid colors and such, you know? The game seems a bit bare bones as of now. I would definitely dismiss it as "another one of those low quality indies" like Who's Your Daddy if I didn't know about RA2. Hopefully what it lacks in looks it makes up in features and feel.

Poll

What do you think of RA3 now?
