Re: BZ2 SP Mission Fixes

If that is the case then the game should really be checking for the destruction of the objective rather than anything the player does, or if absoultely necessary failing them for not getting their hands dirty. Softlock is really confusing for the player and needs to be eliminated wherever possible.

Re: Bionite: Origins needs Support!

As a trailer, the things this lacks most are sound and pace. Sound is the most obvious but pacing is the most damaging - in games in general long shots are typically best avoided; typically you only want shots to focus on the subject for long enough for the player to understand what it is. The shot ...

Re: BREAKING: Rebellion Bringing Back Atari Battlezone in VR

Thought you might all like to know that applications for the PC closed beta are open. If you've got a decent PC and a VR headset you might want to get in on this.

Re: Battlezone II Remodeled 1.0.8 released 2/21/17

Once FE was released there were at least seven solar systems established, possibly as many as ten. Fleshstorm alone probably doubles that. There could of course be any amount of goings-on out there, but thus far the events told by the Battlezone story have been limited by the human perspective - the...

Re: Battlezone II Remodeled 1.0.8 released 2/21/17

People tend to think too linerally. It's a big universe out there with a lot going on either at the same time or happened in the past may have happened in the present or future or whenever, especially with wormholes springing up here and there leading every which way and when. Fixed-point teleporta...

Re: Battlezone II Remodeled 1.0.8 released 2/21/17

I did that too way way back in the day, and just happened to do a new more concise one some months back. There's certainly a lot of room for variability of the time of events - at least during the BZI and BZII game parts. I haven't had the stomach to try include a bunch of mods, so my hat would be ...

Re: Battlezone II Remodeled 1.0.8 released 2/21/17

Overall, your recent posts, as I take them collectively, seem to be trying to create some sort of semi- “official” timeline or narrative for BZ2. That’s fine as independent mod work, but you shouldn’t be trying to force fit or retcon other people’s work into it for hyper-consistency. Whatever you (...

Re: Battlezone II Remodeled 1.0.8 released 2/21/17

what's the H-B project? Anything put out or managed by the Heracles Brigade . Battle Grounds, Rise of the Black Dogs and Fall and Return of the Old Gods, amongst other things. -snip- I agree that BZ2's multiple endings felt unnecessary, though I think in my eyes at least that's because of the incom...

Re: Battlezone II Remodeled 1.0.8 released 2/21/17

Battlezone II's endings are indeed contradictory, but does that mean it needs fixing? Multiple contradictory endings isn't something hugely unusual in games, after all, and is not something that necessarily requires a sequel for explanation. N1 does mean dialysis - this is a metaphor of sorts for th...

Re: Battlezone II Remodeled 1.0.8 released 2/21/17

Of those questions, most of the ones that need to be answered for the story to function are already answered. The rest are just filling - important filling, granted, but not part of the main plot structure. When the Scions first arrived on the Dark Planet in 1979 they were in full retreat following ...

Re: Battlezone II Remodeled 1.0.8 released 2/21/17

Core's destruction might not be explicitly shown, but it as heavily implied as it can be without that being the case. It's also heavily implied that the Scions are choosing to migrating from Core now, after 15 years, because Core can no longer support them - it is outright stated that they "can...

And another SP problem with "Fanning the Fire": After everything is complete and I am following Elena to the secret entrance, when I enter that entrance -- mission fails. Coxxonn modified the campaign so all of the singleplayer missions are part of the same mission flow; there's no campai...

Re: Battlezone VR preview

Having played this at EGX on the 25th September, it's a very pretty and immersive game. As GSH points out, and as we've known for some time, it's a successor to the original Battlezone rather than this series. The build I played - which was nine months old at the time - had full 360-degree view, whi...
