Talk:Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction

Xbox
I really don't remember there being an Xbox version of this game. I was pretty sure that the only Robot Wars game on Xbox was Extreme Destruction. Is there any proof that an Xbox version of this game existed? Christophee (talk) 15:26, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I got that bit of info from Wikipedia, I can't remember if it did, but I'll have a look around. Llamaman201 (talk) 19:06, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Nope can't find it, I'll change it. Llamaman201 (talk) 19:07, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Commentators
I own the PC version of this game and it has Jonathan Pearce as the commentator. Was there a separate US release with Stefan Frank as the commentator? If so, was he on both versions or just the PC version? Christophee (talk) 23:53, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

That's what I thought.-- Helloher    (talk)  08:56, 31 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, so I did some research, and it turns out there was in fact a US version of the game released by Sierra on 22-10-02. The thing is, I bought my copy of the game from a British seller-I'm positive it's the British version because it makes no mention of Sierra in the opening credits. However, for some odd reason, it features Stefan Frank as the commentator. (The words are exactly the same, it's actually quite funny to hear an American spout off British lingo like "having a go")  Is it possible to program a game to have a different commentator depending on the region of the computer?  In regards to the PS2 version, there was no US release of AOD for the PS2, and PS2 games are region-protected, so I can't test out who the commentator would be in the PS2's "American version".

 * Hmm, this is quite weird. Either way, I think we should change what it says on article to make it clear that Jonathan Pearce was on both versions in the UK. I'm not sure what we should say about Stefan Frank's appearances though. Christophee (talk) 22:01, September 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, I see you've already done it. Good work. Christophee (talk) 22:07, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

Series 4 or 5?
There seems to be some confusion over which series of Robot Wars the game takes place in. Let me clear it up by saying that it's Series 4 and not 5, because there's no pit release button, and Firestorm has its Series 4 paintjob. If you're wondering why Terrorhurtz is in a game based on series 4, it's because the company that did Battlebots had the rights to Killerhurtz, meaning Mentorn would be infringing a copyright if they included it in their game.

Arenas
Are we having articles on all the levels? Somebody linked to the Japanese Rooftop.ManUCrazy 09:42, October 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * That was me. I may eventually get round to doing it. If I don't I'll remove the link.  Helloher    (talk)  09:56, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

My First Bot
Does anybody think that My First Bot should have a page? It is a robot on the game like all the others, so I think it should. Does anybody want to create it? Christophee (talk) 17:52, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not really sure, but my gut feeling is that it should. Matt (Talk) 18:22, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd support a page being created for it, but someone else will have to create it if we do decide to give it a page as I don't have the game.-- STORM  II   18:37, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * If nobody else will, I'll create a page for it, just give me some time to prepare some stats to create the page. Just tell me if you want me to. Datovidny (talk) 20:17, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's okay, I've made the article now. Datovidny (talk) 19:58, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Dutch version
Is it worth mentioning there is also a Dutch edition of the game? Like the US-version, the Dutch edition's narration is identical (but obviously translated) to the English original. Some translations actually sound a bit weird in Dutch, probably because they tried to translate it a bit too literally. Everything is identical about the game, except the menu language and the narration.

The Dutch male narrator voice for the game is Rob Kamphues, who is the presenter of the tv version, but not the narrator. There's a female voice in the menus, but it's not Bridget Maasland who was the pit reporter on tv.


 * I suppose that would be fine for the article, so I'll put it in now. By the way, we would appreciate it if you ended a comment you make on a talk page with a form of signature, so that we know who you are. Datovidny (talk) 10:16, June 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not just "a form of signature", it has to be done by typing four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of every talk page post. Toast  Ultimatum  11:14, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm new to the whole editing Wikia's thing. ;) Thanks for the info. Bstingnl 14:08, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

Just in case anyone is wondering what the Dutch version looks like I somehow managed to find this page.  Stalwart UK  20:00, January 19, 2013 (UTC)

Running on Vista
This is not really to do with the article. Does anybody know if the PC version works on Windows Vista? I am thinking of getting it, but my computer has vista on it. Extreme Destruction does work with vista (just), so I thought I'd ask if anyone else has this game and has had experiences with running it on Windows Vista. There are no google answers.

 * I'm fairly sure my old desktop had either XP or Vista on it, I'm leaning more towards Vista, and it worked fine. Even if it did have XP, the game is supposed to run on Vista, it says it in the manual. Either way, I'd buy it, it's only a couple of quid on Amazon, and if it doesn't work, you could always send it back. RelicRaider (talk) 18:17, October 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * I've been able to run it on Windows 7 (64 bit).  Stalwart UK  18:27, October 5, 2013 (UTC)

Secret Components?
Does anyone know what the secret components that are unlocked when you win certain tournaments? Because I've got that a few times, then checked through all the components and there aren't any new ones... 79.79.106.97 20:59, October 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid that was just an oversight on the devs' behalf. They never did add any secret components. R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.  ( My Talk ) 21:05, October 13, 2013 (UTC)
