I was hoping for a remake/sequel to the late 90's ones as well. However, the develops for those have continued to update the games so they are playable on modern systems with widescreen/res enhancements. I recently just played through the USA campaign of part 1 -- check them out. You can download BZ 1 and its expansion for free, however you need the retail of BZ2 for the patch.

Also, the Uprising games are like BZ, but I don't think there is a digital release of them... yet.

Yeah goddamn them. Fuck you Rebellion, your last good game was AvP1.
Sniper Elite v2 wasn't bad.

And one of the female AIs is voiced by one of Blake's Seven. The game was truly awesome back in the day and still just as awesome when I bought it on GoG last year. |

Yeah, this is disappointing. I get what they're going for, but it's not working for me at all.
Has their every been a game that followed up on the hybrid FPS/RTS model that the late 90s Battlezones implemented so well? There have been tower defense versions, like Orcs Must Die, but nothing with the kind of open world freedom that 1998 Battlezone had.

Hostile Waters was great. There aren't many FPS/RTS hybrids, but there are a few other 'direct control' RTS games (which is what Hostile Waters was.) Sacrifice and the Spellforce series come to mind. Not all were great, but there are some options. |

Right there with you guys. I clicked on the trailer link with stars shining in my eyes. Instead of moonbases and cold war hovertanks I get the Lawnmower Man?
Ha! Lawnmower Man! Nice one, Centurion, like it, like it.

Hahaha. Perfect encapsulation.
Were there any games made after Battlezone '98 that imitated that game play? |

I was so excited when I saw the headline, and so disappointed when I saw what they were doing with it.
Also: Battlezone was one of my favorite arcade games, but it was not the father of VR gaming. It was the father of looking at a screen through a small plastic window. |

Damn, I was really hoping for a follow-up to the action/RTS hybrid versions of the game as well - the ones which had an actual storyline to them and extremely cool gameplay.
Maybe one of these days...
I might check this out, but pretty disappointed so far. |

Yeah, what the hell is this rehash of an ancient game?
Battlezone 1 and 2, the RTS/FPS hybrids, were so great! Unfortunately I can only assume they are still in some sort of abandoned legal gordian knot, never again to see the light of day. They aren't even on gog.com yet, although there was a 'free' Battlezone 2 project last time I checked.
