Some of us are familiar with Robomodo, and played the THPS HD game they created. It was a nice attempt, but didn't feel like a true THPS title at all.
It's possible they did re-vamp everything to better suit to what Neversoft created, but it's not likely. I hope they will prove me wrong though.
Also, who is 'they' that bad mouthed blackbox when og was on it's way? I never heard a single person talk poorly about it.
