Hows it going everyone?  ;)

(Image removed from quote.)

It may not be important to 90% of you but I got RA2 happily running native in OSx with some help from the updated Wine, No boot camp or duel installs just boots right off the dock.

Again a lot of you probably don’t use Mac.. but since I’m pretty much a OSx only user it was somewhat important to me to finally get it running and package / Polish it up all nicely so anyone in future can fire it up with no difficulty. (Complete with Mac styling)

Still some tweaks and other bits and pieces I want to iron out before posting a download link but here is some screenies for you all


Suited for OSx Yosemite & El Capitan. May work on earlier software but I haven’t tested it.

Exact clean copy of Robot Arena 2 with 1.3 Patch & 1.4 Patch installed so no other notes to really add.

<No Download Link Just Yet.. Check Back Soon>

I was just trying to get RA2 to run on Wine today. This is exciting!

Dude. <3

MST3K was my childhood, and it's still my jam to this day. Do you have any plans to build the rest of the crew? (I've been wanting to build a Gypsy for myself, but the task seems pretty impossible so I kind of gave up on it.)
My roommate plans on building Crow. He has all the parts, but he's probably the laziest person I know. Needless to say, I don't think it'll ever get built.


Gypsy requires a carseat that hasn't been made in over 20 years, so I probably won't even attempt it. Also, Gyps is huge. She's the only one of their puppets that required a harness. As for Cambot, well, its appearance changed too many times to warrant building.


I think the next thing I'll build is Disembaudio from Rifftrax. I have a spare toaster, and I'm pretty sure I have the right size of googly eyes around here somewhere. Eventually, I'll probably also sculpt a S.O.L. to hang up in my apartment.

I'm rather enjoying posting on here lately. I think I might stick around for a while.

Did the update get jammed up or something?
They want to deliver vast amounts of updates over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your RA3 updates in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of anime, enormous amounts of anime.

By "anime" I assume you mean an euphemism for hentai ?
Right. Maybe I should have put the scare quotes around it.

I agree with all of you about the plethora of bugs that the game has. But I have another complain about this game. Its basically RA2 made using a different game and physic engine. I was really hoping they would have rethought the game and did something more innovative. Would be cool if we had a gear or chain system. Maybe a more realistic  chassis building system... out of steel tubes and panels, or something.

oh well.
That's actually what I was hoping for when it was announced.

I built a Tom Servo and met TV's Frank and Dr. Forrester. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go watch some MST3k, you ham dinger!

Roll up, roll up! Get your pitchforks here! We've got pitchforks, we've got torches, we've got everything required to burn a small budget studio to the ground! Gather 'round, everybody!
I think most people want this thing to be good and for Gabriel, inc. to do well. If they released this saying, "We're going to need some more time to get this game right, but here's a glimpse of what we're trying to achieve," the response wouldn't be overwhelmingly negative. The criticism would be constructive instead of rants.

As it stands, they presented the game as a finished product with some minor bugs. That clearly isn't the case if such basic things like wedges aren't possible.

First ACAMS, and now RFS?

Fuking hell... Everyone is coming out of the woodwork to relive the days of RA2, with this game.

...

Incredible.
That was my goal. With the game being in such a crummy state, I'm thinking it might be best to just wait. (Maybe I'll reinstall RA2.)

I accidentally ate them. Sorry.

So, did you gained their strength/courage/intelligence by that ?
No, just indigestion.

Perhaps one of the people who bought it will leak the ROM. Upscale it in Dolphin and you have a more playable game than RA3.

What did they do to Warhead? Why is it a T-Rex now?

For what it's worth, the official Battlebots page teased a video game earlier today, and got 700ish likes on the post as of now. There's money in this game if the devs have the initiative and drive to learn and do this right.

lol BattleBots only posted that recently discovered 2002 concept art because I dug it up and posted it to Reddit.  :gawe:

Still trying to convince them to hire a developer/publisher to finish and release it. I guarantee it would sell. RA3 is proof enough that people want a game, and just looking at the videos from the original BB game teasers shows something with a lot more functionality and action than this.
It looks like they were selling the GameCube version on their website: http://store.battlebots.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=154_156&product_id=240

This makes me sad. RA1 was a disappointment, but it was still a pretty fun game. No, you couldn't build anything that resembled a real Battlebot, but it was easy to work with and had its own set of challenges. And skinning was super easy!


When the demo came along showcasing RA1 with a physics engine (followed shortly by the RA2 demo featuring Nightmare), I was so excited. Then as more was revealed about RA2, the hype continued to build. We can create our own weapons and design our own chassis? "Forklifts" are finally a reality? Cool!


RA2 came out, and although it had its flaws, it did pretty much everything it needed to do. The user experience improved upon the original game in almost every way.


Now I see screengrabs and twitch streams of this game and feel disappointed. What was improved over RA2? The new chassis design system looks neat, but it's horribly broken if the chassis can intersect with itself and wedges don't work. The component system looks virtually unchanged. Weight classes have disappeared, though this might be so that it fits more in line with the current Battlebots.


If they fix the game, I'll buy it. The arena designs look great. Until then, it's not worth installing Windows to give it a try.

I've been a Gwar fan for ages.

Just not the same without Brockie. rip
It's different, for sure, but the two shows I went to with Mike Bishop behind the mic were amazing.

I just spent way too much on this CD. After shipping and everything, it came out to around $40. For 30 minutes of music.
