Levels from Descent 1 and 2?

[ManOfSteel89]

Any word on porting over the old levels from Descent 1 and 2? I know there were some comments about it from the devs around this time last year. It was mentioned that this could be something for post launch... wink wink! The time is now :D

So, yeah?

That would be fun.

I don't think the devs can officially release them because they don't own the rights to the old games. But they're supposed to be releasing a level editor soon, so hopefully it won't be too hard for the community to port the old levels to Overload.

I remember the dev's said they brought the old descent levels into the new editor really easly. Thats where the footage came from. Now polishing them, that's another story.

I see no one clicked the link. Watch the first 13 minutes. You will enjoy

So they did continue working on it...

It would be really cool to have all the old levels even if it's missing the old robots/music etc due to copyright.
obviously there is nothing to stop someone re-creating the levels with overload assets when the editor is available.

I've got $ burning a hole in my pocket for a Descent 1-3 level pack for this game. I love Descent so much...but the graphics are what makes it so difficult to play anymore. You give me Descent 1-3 in level-pack form for this game...and I can die happy.

Heck, call them "Overload Legacy Packs". And change minor details so that the copyright ninjas can't pitch fits (at least until the copyright runs out).

Oh, don't die yet. You might be happy but you'll make us all sad. :)
Many of the fans of this game have something of a love affair with the old games. If the devs don't do it, they will -- and they'll probably do it better.
What I'd like to see more than the old levels ported over directly is the old levels updated and reiterpreted with Unity's graphical capabilities. If modding the game becomes possible the editor itself should make this easy.

There's nothing I'd like better than the ability to play the Descent 3 + Mercenary levels with the Descent 3 ships and weapons in the Overload engine. Ditto for the Descent 3 Pyromania mod. http://www.descentforum.net/pyromania/files/

Any update on this now that the level editor is available?

Would be cool to play D1 & D2 in VR, I don't think any of the source ports had VR.
