I JUST want to play Uprising using my two hands without having to graft on additional fingers or wrists.

Didn't they release a remake of Battlezone already last year?

>>14414068

Yeah, they remastered the first Battlezone Reebot yesteryear, Battlezone 98.

This one is a remaster of the sequel of the reboot

Played a bit of the first mission. First thing that struck me was FAF missiles targeting friendlies. I either forgot they could do that or it's a new feature. Second was the Scion Scout had a weird ability in that getting too close meant you couldn't fire your weapons. I think that one's new.

Lights look great from outside the cockpit but inside it's like shining a torch into a field at night, very little actual illumination. I think I'm either more accurate with mortars then I was before or the AI is bugging and keeping still during battle.

It's a decent port at least. But there's a modded version of BZ2 original with widescreen fixes and the like on piratebay that I think handles a bit better.

They've included the original staff in the credits, even an indian studio that helped with this port.

Nice, I'll just need to finish Homeworld and I'll be playing this.

Is this a remake of the remake?

>>14417432

It's a redux of Battlezone 2 by Pandemic back in 1999.

>Atari made Battlezone back in 1980 as that wired tank game. That was the start of the IP.

>Around 1998, Activision was allowed to make Battlezone 1 and then following that BZ2.

>Nathan Mates and Ken Miller create patch 1.3 for BZ2, basically continuing to refine it and bring it into the 21 century.

>Rebellion by the IP after Atari go bankrupt in 2015, they then spent a few years refining these.

Have they fixed the bugs? If they've only done that and improved the graphics, I'll be happy.

>where you kill Space commies

I thought the Scion were the results of a project by the Black Dogs, an NSDF special force.

Regardless, I've already done my time with Battlezone 2 in my youth and am not really satisfied doing any more. I'd be interested in knowing if there are any other such hybrids like it out there.

>>14418319

Executive Assault is the closest thing I can think of

>>14413938

>where you kill Space commies.

that's only the first game

second is fighting former special forces under the command of an autistic general

>>14418284

Unit pathing and AI is still the same mess it was back when this game was brand spanking new.

>>14413938

This is the first PC game I ever played. Kind of surreal to see it remastered. Doesn't look like the Forgotten Enemies expansion is included though. That's a real shame.

>>14413938

Something's up with the torrent. It keeps on shitting itself at 35% calling out a error.

>>14418885

Likely client side

Torrent works fine last time I checked

>AI is still the same mess

I forgot how bad it was, but I just got done playing an IA game as ISDF against Scion, and the game was stalled for almost an hour because despite pushing back all enemy forces into their main, the enemy Jammer prevented me from telling my allies to attack, and if I ordered them near the enemy base, they wouldn't even bother to retaliate against any unit invisible on radar. Now I remember why I stopped bothering to play this.

how do you play this game in multiplayer? i've been trying to get it to work with some other fag but it seems like we can not join eachother since we both are stuck with the [CODEX] ingame name. how do you change this? or how do you get the multiplayer to work?

Why hasn't anyone made a Tribes 2 Remaster? Literally why not?

>>14433062

Because these people own that franchise now.

>>14433066

Why don't they just sell it then? How much do you think the rights would be?

>>14433085

It's their ace when their ASSFAGGOTS/CRAPCUNTS go down like the flavour of the month garbage they are.

Tribes has brand name and a loyal autistic fanbase behind it, if Hi Rez ends up having financial issues they can just pump out a new Tribes no matter how shit it is, milk some fans and see some of it's money back.

>>14433062

E-Sports.

Tribes 2 was a game where I would spend hours repairing generators, deploying turrets and murdering people who think they can use a cloak pack. Also using the command circuit to cheese laser rifle headshots many klicks beyond the draw distance, I think I had a record or two on Miami Vehicles doing that

Everything has to be Ultra-competitive turbo 1337 gaming these days; there's no room for that sort of gameplay anymore.

> How much do you think the rights would be?

If they will even sell; publishers tend to collect these IPs not so much to exploit them, but to prevent the exploitation by others.
