Return of some Bitmap Brothers titles?
Just read this:
http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33868885 and an official site: http://www.speedball2.de/ Looks like remakes on the PC are moving more and more into the commercial sector. EDIT: Just changed thread title - appears the rights have been sold so the bitmaps won't actually be making these games.

I got SpeedBall 2100, and it was not fun as Speedbal 2.

I agree.
Interesting this remake has kept the older title speedball 2 rather than speedball wars or whatever, so perhaps they intend to keep it close to the original? Just have to wait and see. |

Let's hope that it will stay closer to SB2 instead to SB2100.
 New Chaos Engine would be interesting. Don't they call it Doom 3, RE or Blood?

Fingers crossed though. |

I won't be holding my breat. Why does it look as though all of the characters have been ripped straight outta Quake 3/Unreal Tourn/Unreal Champ?

'The cult image of both games comes from the beginning of the computer games era.'
Beginning? Historyless yoofs.

Well at least there will be a XBLA (Xbox 360) version of Speedball 2. According to the forums on the above mentioned site it will be a port of the Megadrive version. (don't know if that one was any good) Seems Mike Montgomery is supervising and producing this version, so could be interesting.

@Photon. My thoughts exactly.
unless Dan Malone does the graphics, the game will not look/feel like SB2. that game was simple and elegant. People can't make games like this anymore. |

Credits to Cameron Davis for this cartoon would have been nice.
