I hate when alt-fire doubles as aim down sights in games because I like having a separate key or button for both of those functions... and I never use right mouse button for aim down sights. Even if they are superfluous as they seem like they are going to be in this game. With keyboard and mouse we have plenty of keys and buttons so why not make use of them all and not coalesce the functions into one like that. Personally speaking I don't want alt-fire on the pistol to be sights.

Other than that I'm liking what I'm seeing.

I'm also still wondering if we are going to have a toggle function to toggle between current equipped explosive\magic weapon and the last equipped bullet weapon like ROTT '95 did.

You can rebind your keys however you wish. And yes, you will have weapons in slots 1-5. Pistol/Dual Pistols/MP40/Missile/Magic

Glad you guys are liking it more and more! Stay tuned!

[Tetsuo]

Well, answer A Is good to know although if those two functions are combined moving iron sights to another key would also move alt-fire.

Answer B isn't what I was asking about. I wasn't asking about weapons slots. I was asking about the function that for example. Let's say you picked up the MP40 and you also picked up a bazooka. In ROTT '95 there where two ways to select them. One is by the number keys. The other is a toggle function that swaps between the two directly and the bullet weapon it pulls up depends on which one you where using last.

For example, bring up the dual pistols and press it and it'll go to the last equipped explosive weapon press it again and it goes back to the dual pistols. Same thing with the MP40. It's sort of like the flashlight toggle in Doom 3 except you choose which weapon it toggles between more or less. In ROTT 2013 one should be able to toggle between the explosive weapon or magic weapon and last used bullet weapon depending on which they used last.

I know some people may think it unnecessary with number keys to switch between them but I always found it handy especially in ROTT '95 where there was no alt-fire so I used my right mouse button for that function. I used to toggle between explosive weapon an the MP40 with that function a lot. Sort of like toggling plasmids & weapons in bioshock. I did a simple edit to Doom 3 Resurrection of Evil to do the same thing with the grabber.

In ROTT 2013 I'd most likely bind it to a keyboard key since right mouse button will be taken up by alt-fire.

I just would like to say to PLEASE PLEASE make it easy to figure out how to import new player models into this because I am in dire need of a new game to mod the hell out of. most games that allow for such make creating new player models a bitch and a half and I just wanna make a bunch of grotesque cartoon characters.

I don't think that they could make it any more simple than it already is. It's the Unreal Engine. I'm not too familiar with it, but I would think that it would be a simple UDK interface to work with.

[Carl Winslow]

I get that, but there should atleast be some sample files so that you can atleast rig a new model to an existing skeleton, or at the very least use the file to figure out what animations go where and how many are needed. UT3 was particularly aggravating about that stuff.

This looks amazing thus far. The Quake/UT-style fast-paced multiplayer is a real throwback and I look forward to seeing how the SP is done, in particular the level design.

Danke! After next week we are DONE showing multiplayer and will focus on single player until we launch! Yes, that means you're getting a boatload of multiplayer tomorrow. Green has already seen the footage. I think he gusta.

[Micky C]

So does that mean you've got a release date?

Yep, we'll be announcing it soon. Sorting out pre-order bonuses with Steam and GoG etc. Oh, and finishing up the new box art ;-)

Looks pretty cool, nice self aware commentry in that video too. i'm not much of a MP gamer though.
Can the dual pistols be fired separately ? I really prefer that when dual wielding is in a game
I've never played the original ROTT myself, but i keep wondering: with all these powerfull explosive weapons, how do the enemies in the SP campaign hold up against that?
(probably a poor choice of words, i'm not a native english speaker =/)
Hopefully you can turn the bloom off in the settings, not a big fan of that.

Looking forward to the SP footage.

LOL, it still leaked...

[Micky C]

So according to facebook ROTT is content complete. How about a release date eh?

[DaveyDoomsday]

Yeah, those achievements leaked forever ago, they're still being tweaked - but that's the gist of 'em.

And indeed we are now content complete. Now comes the polish and bugfixing.

We'll announce a date not long before release, Steam/GoG like it that way. Better for pre-orders they say.

In the meantime we'll have plenty more to show you soon while the team works towards going GOLD.

From here on out it's all single player we'll be showing off. Hope you guys were digging the MP!

Microsoft is announcing new console on 21st May and in desperate need of exclusives. Just sayin'.
