Sooooo

- There will be a forest/jungle arena! with a waterfall (moving images as I said in the other thread could also be applied to the bot. yay!)
- steams workshop will support this game wich kinda confirms the modability
- you can build pretty flat bots as seen on the flextop arena
- the flextop arena has really poor looking audiance pictures with low res it seems
- havn't seen many new components if any at all

It would be cool if RA3 uses the same kind of files as RA2 so DSL 2.2/3 could be applied for RA3. otherwise all the years of work would lead to nowhere somehow :/
also if this was true the Robot Wars mod could instandly be ported to RA3. wouldn't that be cool?

Another thing just came to my mind while taking another look at the arenas. there is lava in there. that means it will have an animated texture. animated texture. animated texture. on robots.

Crustacean replicas could be made if this is true. there is also a chance to have transparent parts of the chassis.

hype hype

some other things I noticed:

- it says steel will bend. we had this for the chassis in ra2 but I hopenin ra3 components will have this feature as well. also metal will be crushed indicates that crushers might be able to really to stuff.

- the green Breaker Box bot has it's wedge mounted on these thingys that look like an external pat of the chassis. hope we will be able to build like this in ra3

- Croco Bot looks like it runs on tracks. if the game allowes you to connect motors and spinning weapons by some kind it would be awesome to have the same mechanic for tracks as well. imagine you could build a bot that looks like this:

- Controller Support as seen in these two pictures

Also I am a bit confuse as why they have two diffetent logos for the upcomming game.

I took both logos and put them over each other to check it they have just taken the basic form of the fist one and made it more simple. as it turns out... they did not!

Some things I noticed:

- On the very first bot there are wheelguards. If this bot gets in the final game like this it could have a custom body, custom wheelguards or a new mechanic that allowes you to shape the chassis like this. I hope it's the last.

- A belt on the croco bot. hope you can connect motors and components by a few clicks. that would make building a whole new experience. Also the two bots that feature saws have very flat motors or, like the croco bot, belts as well.

- my favorite bot of those is the green 6WD that reminds me of Breaker Box. it features a round top. A ROUND TOP! make it happen!also those wheels are pretty close together. it either uses small motors or some kind of chained thing going on as well.

Now the bot lab is something I'm unsure of. it showes sections of the bot you can build at. Top, top middle, middle, bottom middle, bottom. I have no idea if this is a good thing or not but at the look of it it kinda looks limiting for some reason. on the other hand it looks like each component you add gets a number that can be selected and maybe edited. you have some sort of this in the bot files of ra 2. having this displayed could improve building as you can simply change components while building whithout leaving the game.
I also wonder why the botlab screenshots are that low in resolution. they are work in progress. they are in the current version of the game. so a srceenshot shouldn't be that hard to take.

The arenas and the whole look of the game reminds me more of the first robot arena than ra2. and yes it has some futuristic but also a comic vibe to it.

I hope it will be modable. but now that it will be available in steam it might will be workshop supported wich will be such a good thing for this game as it survived more than 10 years in some sort of a dark corner thanks to tha community.
