Spoiler

Unless I missed it somewhere else the Tron hasn't told the news - it seems like BB3 is coming:

It seems like they've taken the video down since - someone probably fucked up by including BB3 with the other games in the video?

BB2 started off real rough but ended up being the clear best digital version of BB ever released (not that that's saying much, but it really was very good in the end), so I guess after 2-3 years this release could be cool as well.

Yes it is. From Bigben's press release: https://www.globenewswire.com/news-...GBEN-WEEK-WITH-A-STRING-OF-ANNOUNCEMENTS.html

Cyanide is also pleased to announce a new partnership has been signed for the third edition of Blood Bowl, the iconic game from Games Workshop. Blood Bowl 3 will coincide with the release of the new paper edition in 2020, which is being revamped with all-new game rules. More information about Blood Bowl 3 will be shared in the coming months.

Oh boy, here we go again, prepare to get 4 teams at the start and have to pay for the rest down the line.

Another part of Bigben v. Focus conflict, I wonder?

Yeah they were obligated to make 3 games for them from the conclusion of that lawsuit right? I would imagine cyanide is getting a smaller portion of the pie which is why the nickle and diming, while not paradox levels, has been strong.

 

[Makabb]

I have 1000 hours in blood bowl 2, bring on the 3 !


Seems they are making pilin on use a re-roll, it will turn down the CLAWPOMB teams

 

[LESS T_T]

It's surfaced again:



Unusually for Nacon, it's coming to Steam (at least for now):

 

[Grunker]

12 teams. On the one hand, still money-grubbing, on the other: 4 more than they usually ship with at launch

It's more about what teams though. We'll prob get humans/human noble/orc/black orc, which is barely 2 teams of value.

I'm more upset about no goblins though, especially with the buffs to the bombardier.

 

[Stompa]

We're definitely getting those as their models have been shown in the screenshots already. I really hope though that OWA and Chaos Renegades aren't included in those 12 though, they don't bring much to the table.

 

[RK47]

Welp, it's always gonna be like this.

 

[Lagole Gon]

Hmmm... I don't like the new art direction. It looks like it has a sprinkle of casual gaming look.
BBII was almost perfect, why do you have to fuck it up.

 

[thesheeep]

To which god do I need to make a sacrifice in order to actually have some proper animation-skip/-speed-up options this time?

Just play Fumbbl?

BB1 was better. Had really swanky armour for high level players.

Graphics whore. After updates, BB2 is a clearly superior product in almost everyway - but especially when it comes to bugs! FUMBBL still wins of course but then why wouldn't it.

Hell, just the fact that I don't have to open my router ports to play multiplayer

(Though my biggest gripe at the end was the fact that the "you can place 12 pieces"-bug was still so prevalent and the fucking retarded fact that you couldn't reconnect to a running game wtactualf)

((and the armor pieces from BB1 were cool as shit, I dunno why the fuck Cyanide - money grubbing scum that they are - don't monetize cosmetics for BB. They have an audience of adults with jobs, i.e. immense purchasing power, and a proven love for painting dolls))

Well yes, but the comment was about the graphics, and in terms of graphics and animation BB1 was entirely superior. In terms of usability and polish bb2 is much better.

Some of the pieces in the trailer look to have some extra fancy hats and such though, so it might be it is coming back.

Few seem to realize this, but BB2 actually has a shop where you can use ingame currency for new uniforms for your teams. The currency is called cyans and its implementation in BB2 is completely obscure. You can also charge cyans for entry into tournaments you host (but why would you want to???). You earn cyans by playing.

I think someone at Cyanide actually understood a thing or two about modern monetization but then they ran out of time. I legit wish they would do shit like skins, paints, doodads etc. It wouldn't hurt the base game (seperate monetization cycle, money from skins goes into skin development) and I can't recall another game that is so fit for that business model considering the audience. It says everything about Cyanide that even when their audience would welcome some money-pinching scumbag tactics they can't work that shit out

So ... what will be different in BB3? Better camera control maybe? New graphics? Why would I want to buy this instead of playing BB2?

BB2020 is a whole new (and imo shitty) ruleset.

Did you get to try it? What are the main différences, and issues?

 

[Falksi]

Woooo

 

[Teut Busnet]

If they improved the AI and SP career I'll buy the complete version in 18 months. Otherwise they can fuck off.

(I do like the BlOrcs though...)
