Naked Sky Entertainment announces the availability of RoboBlitz for the PC, with
the Xbox 360 edition of the Unreal 3 engine game to come later this year: Los
Angeles -- Nov. 06, 2006 - Naked Sky Entertainment, an independent game
development studio specializing in physics driven games for the PC and next-gen
consoles, launched the worldwide PC version of RoboBlitz, the first Unreal
Engine 3 game to market.
RoboBlitz is a humorous single-player action, platformer full of inventive
gizmos, weapons and characters. Players take on the role of Blitz, a
multi-talented robot who must activate an aging space cannon to save his world
from a band of maladjusted space pirates. Set in seven distinct environments,
RoboBlitz features 19 levels of puzzle-solving and high-intensity action.
The unique, physics-driven gameplay in RoboBlitz empowers players to use
creative solutions in a world rife with emergent behaviors.
"In the past, games have been limited to hand-animation driven gameplay where
the players' actions are bound by the designer's own imagination. With physics,
the only limitations are rules based on the game world," said Joshua Glazer,
Chief Technology Officer, Naked Sky Entertainment, Inc. "In our game, almost
every puzzle can be solved in multiple ways. If the player comes up with a
solution for which we didn't plan, it will still work because everything is
driven by physics."
To support the modding community, the PC release will include the same custom
build of the Unreal Engine 3 Editor that the Naked Sky team uses in-house.
RoboBlitz will be available in 8 languages: English, Chinese, French, German,
Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. RoboBlitz is rated E10+ (Everyone Ages
10+) by the ESRB.
At launch, the game will be available for download through the RoboBlitz website
www.roboblitz.com, Valve's Steam platform
at www.steamgames.com,
www.LiquidGeneration.com and
www.DISCoverMyGames.com for $14.99.
A free three-level trial version of RoboBlitz will also be available.
The Xbox 360 version of RoboBlitz will launch later this year on the Xbox Live
Arcade.

Is Unreal 3 even in development?
Lets hope not, please, please, please don't let the world suffer another Unreal game, wasn't UPoo, I mean, Poo2, I mean... , well, you know what I mean, (U2 for the slow, Unreal2 for the even slower) wasn't that enough pain and mysery to inflict on the world, that and the seemingly endless rehashes of UT, which it self was an absolute dog, UT2003 (lol, say no more), then UT2004 (do they ever learn) and now soon to be UT2007, the same tired old crap, just with newer graphics, and a few new useless game modes, and a pile of crap maps, thats what they keep shoving down peoples throats every couple of years, hellooooooo, we are sooooo over UT Epic, it wasn't that good to start with.
And as for the Unreal engine, be it 1,2, or 3, it's crap, every game that is made with it fells like crap, the graphics aren't even that good, look at UT2007, crapolla!!
pheww, next please...

hmm just had a quick go and kinda like it. Seems I need to upgrade for unreal 3 though as I was only getting 20-30fps on a x64 3500+ with 2gb ram and a 7800GT.
Really impressed with the install - it uncompressed to 445mb so near trippled in size. Would much have something that takes 5 mins to install then spend hours searching for a mirror which isn't capped or full.

What does that have to do with the XBox 360 version? Squirmer implied that the game looked crappy because it was only 50MB so that it could fit on XBOX Live Arcade. My point is that the PC version is actually over 3 times that size (and likely more since 178MB is the size of the compressed installer).
So, if the game looks crappy in the trailer, the size is not really the problem.

Maybe you'll change your misguided opinion when you realize that the PC version is ~178MB.
Not really, no. Considering most new games are multiple gigabytes, a 178MB Unreal Engine 3 game is an impressive achievement I think. There's some really interesting technology in this game.

Really? So tell me why it looks like 5 year old graphics at best.
Maybe you'll change your opinion when you realise the game is under 50MB in total. The textures are procedurally generated and they changed a number of things to make it under 50MB because they're releasing it over Xbox Live Arcade.
I think this game looks really fun.

watching the demo video on www.roboblitz.com it seems like a tech-demo-game ie. they first experimentally programmed a bunch of physics effects to see what could be done with the engine, and then only later said "hm, ok, now how can we make a game out of these". Some of the stuff reminds me of the "Garry’s Mod" sandbox mode for HL2, glueing objects together, etc.

Considering how little it's selling for, you have to wonder how much they paid for the license. Or maybe it's just the fact that it's through Steam? Although, then, who exactly funded the development?

Perhaps Naked Sky should proofread their URLs.
"At launch, the game will be available for download through the RoboBlitz website www.robobliz.com"
There should be a t in there.

It's not "Unreal 3 Engine" it's "Unreal Engine 3" as in the third iteration of the Unreal Engine.
Gears of War is the first Epic game to come out on UE3.

Aka "Today's OTHER Unreal Engine 3 game."
Looks like it could be amusing enough, but I'll wait for a demo.
