Chess
  • RajioRajio
    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.

    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.

    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.
