Remake of Battlezone 2 with improved graphics / modern GUI for Steam matchmaking etc. etc. etc. released TODAY. (March 1)
For those who don’t know, Battlezone (and BZ:2) is a classic RTS/FPS hybrid where you pilot ships and vehicles around while building a base / commanding units.
Well it hooks on a cloud Battlefront II 2005 profile with Z modes available but they don’t seem to do much, no 3D depth. Looks nice and crisp tho, with excellent performance but the sliding around is going to make some folks very queasy fast. Will try a few more profiles.
BUMP this thread, just found it after thinking about my brother and our BZ2 play sessions and writing a eulogy of sorts on the BZ Steam forum. Found it the first click, didn’t realize he was the one trying to get this done on the VorpX. How’s that for coincidence.
Adam and I used to play BZ2 together and he’d beat me everytime. Then we installed this one MOD and I beat him so bad he refused to play the game ever again. I think he was 7 or 8 yearsold at the time. This game held a lot of good memories for us, I would love to see it in VR… more importantly I’d like to see it to complete it for my brother. He died a few years ago at 33, he was the guy that bought me my VIVE headset.
RIP Adam,
