still the networking master Dan?

very interesting answer from the people at Rebellion.

haha still working towards something :p at least they respond in a timely manner. I still think this could be good for Bionite too, this publicity could lead into some more interest. Hopefully it does, you can ...

Regarding how long they've been working on it and what engine.

I thought James 'TheJamsh' got the physics code from Battlezone 98 working in the Unreal 4 engine? I'm curious what engine they will be using.

I forgot these guys got the IP rights for Battlezone from Atari in 2013, smart move by them. I hope they take their time with it and do it justice. It's been a long wait, we can wait a bit longer for them to do it right. :- )

I can see them taking this onto consoles after PC, it's possible ...

It's going to be a race now (maybe) to get this game finished before Rebellion get the Battlezone 98 remaster finished, unless you do something better/differently than their game. At least they 'just' started development and are in the very early stages. But this publicity for Battlezone again could ...

I already worked on Bionite for about 2 years, there is no chance at me returning to that project either. I don't believe age matters. Passion, creativity and talent is what drives projects towards success. I am not going to wait 3 years just to wait and see if a project fails or not before making ...

This is its Moddb link. Going is currently slow, but good things are happening. It's been in development at least a two or three years now; it was spawned from the failed attempt at launching a community project on BZU in 2009.

Oh nice that looks beautiful too. Great looking assets, good work so ...

I'm not trying to burst an bubble or be negative, just a few things I think 'needs' to be said.

Personally I'd wait for Bionite. No real project will come from this in a short time frame anyway and Bionite 'might' just provide for a good base to start working from (given that LtFeet would allow ...

Isn't there an issue with copyright and trademark or w/e or ?

It wouldn't be called Battlezone 3, it's highly unlikely that we could call it Battlezone 3. There is some people I can get in touch with though through my LinkedIn.. When the time is right. I expect this to take awhile, but I really ...

Awesome! I don't know if I ever seen that? But anyways once I have some more time I'm going to share some of my ideas that I've always had for a BZ project. I'd love to hear some of your guy's ideas too if anyone has some they're willing to share.

Whatever happens I'd like to be involved regardless. As others have commented I have a habit of digging up bits of narrative people haven't known for years, and whilst I love the expansions to the story it pains me to see where they don't quite fit in. I'd very much like to help prevent that ...

When I think of a modern BZ I would probably think of it in two halves. I would look at the "Classic" era and the "Future" era. (Both games would use the same lobby, but would technically be separate games, a sort of 2 sides of the same coin as they have certain fundamental differences.) Classic ...

I agree that it is a large task, but why assume that no one in the Battlezone community doesn't know how to use Unity or maybe Ogre3D (C++)? Unreal would not be the choice of engine. My best friend is in university specifically studying the Unity game engine (4th year) and he's also a Battlezone ...

That looks quite beautiful! 8-) Thanks for that bigbadbogie, hmmm.. One of my concerns with a mod is the process in which someone has to go through to get the mod working correctly. I know right now it's about a 3 step process (and not including this mod) to download/install Battlezone 2. That would ...

Learning a new engine - be it Unity, Unreal, Source, idT or something else - is a large task. Most of the developers who enjoy BZ1 and 2 are primarily skilled in using the engines of BZ1 and 2 and it would take them years to learn a new one in order to create a game with it (not the months John ...
