just my cynical mind i suppose...

Nope! 100% no Artwork from NC 1 or 2. Try to figure out the setting.

More or less we look back at NC 1 and what did those days and with which spirit we developed it.

1. If you are working on a NC3 which game engine are you gona use?
   
   well maybe we do stay with Gamebryo but we also take all other engines in consideration.
   
2. What time frame it would require to deliver NC beta or full release to the community?
   
   2.5 to 3 years or less or longer ^^
   
3. How many people are working on NC3 currently? Or how many will be working?
   
   5-60
   
4. What would be the MAjor changes in your opinion compared to NC 1 -> 2.2?
   
   new setting, redesign of good ideas and many more new stuff to come
   
5. Can you tell us the 5 majors additions to the game that you couldn't add to NC currently client?
   
   only 5?!
   
6. Would you share your thoughts about a possible Linux and Mac OS X support?
   
   We will have Linux support I guess at least I want it. Its all a matter of time and money. But also we take a close look at the Mac base. Possible yes.
   
7. Can you share more of those concept arts from NC3?
   
   time will tell - so stay tuned pls.
   

Thank you very much for your time and answers

My thoughts would be trying to re-create what everyone is used to would lead to too much "you did it wrong, it was better in the old days!". So my guess would be the only other MegaCity known to still exist... the one Neocron tried to contact and was told to go home from...

Lots of potentially Asian text... that sword...

when the patch is running, GM's are far less necessary than they are now, and if by hiring you mean they somehow get paid, I think there are quite a few people that are qualified and would be perfectly willing to do it voluntarily

Its great to see KK interacting with us! :D I am very glad I jumped on this morning now lol


Question I do have though, will NC3 keep the same factions (possibly add more), same old story line, same weapons (with new ones of course) and same overall feel as NC1\2 ? Will our world change a lot or will it still be familiar to us?

it looks like I suppose the sprawl was portrayed in those books I can't remember the name off (books by gibson)

the sprawl is in america, neotokyo was a different area afaik, sprawl has domes, so the concept art is prolly more like neotokyo

Thank you Kirk for dropping in, and talking to us. The conecept art has got me quite excited, looks like I need a news section on the THN for Neocron 3 news.

Seems it's impossible to shake that Neocrack feeling. :D

Now my totally player biased questions for Neocron 3 are:-

1. Will there be a Tech Haven in NC3?
2. Will there a Fallen Angels Factions in NC3?
3. Will there be Mechs? :)

I'm sort expecting a no comment, except on question 3. ;)

However I would like to turn my attention to NC2, since we have 2-3 years to wait for NC3.

1. Besides the anti-cheat patch, what are the next plans for NC2?
2. What is being done to improve server stability?
3. What are the plans to try and advertise NC2 to bring back old players/get new players?
4. Are you looking at changing the way you communicate with the community?

Now that is some very very exciting news! Can't wait to see more information Kirk.

You do know we'll hunt you down and force you to grind a PE in HN if you mess NC3 up, right?

(And YAY we're going to Tokyo!)


And those nay-sayers in here: Sod off
This is by far the best news we could get considering Neocron is by far the best MMO experience (Was, time happened) and you better be fucking excited to not have to see another bleeding Fantasy MMO jammed up your tailgate!

Now where's my hampster violating, Dromsexing, hentai loving brit?

Super Sweet.

Im already spreading the word. .....in my Chinese Twitter... nobody has any idea what it is but people are excited even over here. The artwork rocks btw!

ps Please make zombies in it!!!

Tokyo? Can I get some hawt Japanese mutant chick with 3 boobies to dance for me? :o

isn't that Mars? :p

It's nice to see you on the forum Kirk, I only have a few questions if you don't mind answering them please :)

1) You said '2.5 to 3 years or less or longer ^^' when asked how long you think Neocron will take to maybe get a beta or retail out, how do you plan on keeping the current community occupied for that length of time?

2) Is there any chance we can see some of the old style models coming back, but with better graphics? I really miss the old Plasma cannon and tank skins =)

3) Games such as World of Warcraft are quite set on releasing new content, and have been since release. Recently they released Cataclysm which revamped the old content or 'world'.

Is this something you have thought about with NC3? A remodeling of the zones, adding extra sectors and building on *probably* the best asset KK has with Neocron, the actual city?

Thank you :)
