Chess
  • So I am a fan of chess games. There used to be a lot more chess games produced and they were a lot of fun. One of the best classics is battlechess. for years i've been bemoaning the lack of new versions of it. It's about due for a comeback on the newer platforms, right?

    Well now I'm happy because its been confirmed. New batlechess is coming! (as well as clayfighter, MDK and.... wait for it .... DESCENT!)

  • Okay so last year I confirmed that a new battlechess was coming. now today I see this...

    http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1354795482/battle-chess

    It makes me not want the game at all. It looks like shit, and why the fuck does it need a kickstarter? what is this bullshit?

    I hope clayfighter and descent don't turn out this bad.

  • its not just the kickstarter that bugs me but what they showed of the game too ...... like it looks pretty horrible. i'd rather pay for the original.
  • OMFG BATTLECHESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL DESTROY ALL OF UUUUUSEE

    I think Battlechess was the first videogame I ever played probably over 20 years ago... scariest game I've ever played too cuz the rooks would transform into golems and rape everything and I think there was blood and beheading but not too sure.

    I am very good at chess. We should play sometime.
  • Infinity Ward and Activision should make a Chess game.

  • a new clayfighter!? FUCK YEAH!
  • This all seem nice (except for Battlechess which i agree looks like crap compared to the original) but now am starting to wonder if all those retro games remake will bring forth a new Gabriel Knight (which i still have the original lying around somewhere),heroes of Might and Magic or even Aerobiz Supersonic. 3 games that i spent many hours playing and replaying.

    I stink but we should. is there a good asynchronous chess game we can play? maybe on iOS or something? I might like to log in every couple of days and take a turn :)

    I did notice but i'll wait to hear/see more about before getting excited. *Crosses fingers, toes, arms, legs and eyes* hoping they wont screw it up.

  • ^They will.
  • Im so in on some online chess! I play on chess.com every now and then. Is there any decent Xbox Live version?

    I was semi paraphrasing Bungie Halo Chess Vidoc

  • Battle Chess was amazing. I remember playing it a few times while at my cousins'. Could really care less about this remake, though. It doesn't look that interesting, and I'd prefer to play the original.

  • I liked the Star wars version of battle chess. It was just the same game with star wars characters instead.
  • I remember that.

Howdy, Stranger!
