Vector Tanks for the iPhone has a sequel coming soon. Super Vector Tanks. He has hired - get this - the voice actor from Duke Nukem to do the voice overs. :D Get some!

New in this game is Rage Mode, at least one new weapon called the screamer (not sure if I was supposed to reveal that info), new graphic effects, lots of speech, and some surprises. The sound effects of the tank and weapons are pure awesome, as before. I was playing a recent build yesterday and I have to admit, it's fantastic.

Vector Tanks is pure - it closely resembles the classic arcade game Battlezone - in fact the author of the original Battlezone arcade machine praised it, saying "this is truly a worthy successor to Battlezone", in so many words. At only a couple dollars, in my opinion this is a must have game for the iPhone.

Super Vector Tanks will be carnage. Several tanks on the battlefield, fast paced chaos - it's very fun. I'm pretty sure it has the classic mode as well, albeit with many improvements.

There will be 3 selectable characters to play as. The voice actor from Duke Nukem will say the name of the character you select. The three characters will be, like two different marines and a British woman. (sorta forget the details)

He was brainstorming for ideas for their names. He only had a name for one of them, and it was 'Carnivore'. I could imagine Duke saying "Carnivore!" when you select him - come on, he could say anything and it would be cool - but he probed me for ideas. In like 2 seconds I spat out "Ripper", but I was drunk, so I don't know.

I was laughing my ass off, so I suggested I ask you guys for name ideas. I mean, you could suggest other things for the game here as well, particularly if you've played Vector Tanks or Battlezone.

Duke will be basically a spectator - like an announcer in Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. I can't recall exactly the things he says, but he basically comments on the carnage - obviously over the top.

Though it's pretty much covered, as most of the voice-overs are done, you could suggest some things for him to say that could make it into the game last minute. Legally, he cannot say anything to do with the game Duke Nukem.
 
THUNDER - BISON - ARMATA - POPATOOIE - WARHEAD - BORG - HERBIVORE - TREADER - MATCH HEAD

..I'm not drunk and I approve of these names.
 
This is all I can think of reading this thread title.

ANAL BLASTER-BEARRAGE-FIRE DIARRHEA-THUNDER BALLS-DRILL COCK-IRON CHIN
 
Scavenger ... ox ... brawler ... rogue ... hunter ... predator ... bruiser?

MISTER CROW (sorry, Unreal Tournament 2003 voice suddenly came to mind)
 
The first hit is HL2.net. Munro must have some serious Google skills. :)
I guess that means nothing has been posted about it on the internet yet.

Thanks for the names. They are very expensive, so try harder. ;) I mean, I figure it should be something cool - you're creating a classic right here.

No, it's cool, whatever. I'll try and think of something tomorrow.
 
^ Sounds like something that Ryan North of Dinosaur Comics would boast in an image alt text.
 
I am indeed somewhat of a fan of that comic.

If I had an iPhone I would be very interested in getting this "Vector Tanks" game or its sequel. I used to love playing Battlezone from the Windows 3.1 arcade pack.
 
I emailed him the suggestions, and asked him for more details on the 3 characters that we are naming.

I think it will be cool, knowing that you picked one or more of the names.
 
Hey guys! Please welcome the n00b. I figured it would be easier if I just joined the discussion, rather than make my brother be the middle man.

So - for your EXCLUSIVE enjoyment, here's a sample quote from each of the 2 characters I have in there now.

Character 1 (Jeff Straub)

and

Character 2 (Jon St. John)

I have not found a suitable voiceover artist yet for the female character.

The working names I have for the characters at the moment are:

Master Gunner Straub : callsign "Deadlock"
Master Gunner St.John : callsign "Carnivore"


But I can still change it if someone comes up with something better.

Also, "Super Vector Tanks" is a working title, hence the lack of references to it anywhere on the internet (the game was supposed to be kept under wraps Bro!!!) :rolleyes:

Well, anyway.

If anyone has a better title, I'm all ears. I will have 2 products, "Vector Tanks" (as available now on the iTunes App Store) and then the sequel. I was also considering title "Vector Tanks Extreme".

Thoughts?

I guess what I really need to do is make a quick gameplay video sneak preview so you can get an idea of what the gameplay is like.

Exclusive video sneak preview!! All my years of hanging out on this forum have finally paid off. IN FULL. That'll be cool to see.
