Name for my game - your help wanted! - Part 2

[Windblade]

Okay guys, we narrowed our options down to these 4 names:

- Era of Rockets (E.R.)
- Rocket Rage
- Momentum
- Inertia

if you can vote on the one that you like the most that that would really help us

and thanks for the vote

if you want to know what i'm talking about than this was the old post:

Okay guys, I'm working on a game for school, and for some reason we struggle heavily finding a fitting name for it. Therefore I ask for your help here.
The game is a remake of an old game, but I doubt many of you know it. It an arena match game, where the players ride on refitted jetengines, that are equipped with grappling hooks that are used to get the enemies off their jetbikes. It is set in a post apocalyptic earth, 300 years after a comet stroke and destroyed most civilization through dust, tidal waves and radiation.

The people living in the world of the game are part of machine tribes that use scavenged material from the "old world" to build their machines (think "Mad Max"). While the apocalypse defines the setting and the backstory, it does not actively play a role during the game, except for the fact that the jetbikes / rockets are built from junk, and that the arenas display a vast amount of devastation.

The game plays a bit like a race game, but is not (think "Destruction Derby").

Now over the time we have become too involved in this to see clearly what would work as a good name. So we made a list what we have come up with so far. Some of them are silly, some are unrelated.. just tell me what you'd buy if you saw it in a shop and where you think it'd still work with what the game is about. (about the unrelated names - consider e.g. "unreal" or "half-life" had pretty much nothing to do with the actual game, but sold really well cool)

If you can think of something nice that's not on the list, or a different combination of words, let us hear it!
The list:

* Delta-V
* Rocket Rampage
* Rocket Rodeo
* Singularity
* Rocket Force
* Solitude
* Thunder Jets
* Rocket Rider
* Rocket Zone
* Ramjet Rockets
* Legacy
* Rat Rockets
* Exile
* Threshold
* Rocket Raiders
* Afterburner Mayhem
* Afterburner
* Rocket Wars
* Turbulence
* Jetbike Zone
* Momentum
* Grapple-X
* Desolation
* End of Oblivion
* Wasteland
* Barren Earth



Uhm.. ah yeah, concerning creative rights - let's assume we already have a name and you have to guess what it is
Thanks for your help!

[Fear Of The Duck]

made of junk.. hmm..scrapheap challenge is already taken... vast area of devastation... hooks used to get the enemies.... hmm.. gotta be the northside life

[Solus]

this game sounds interesting to me......

[Windblade]

well it will only be a LAN game atm, we did this because the old game only focused on single player, and with our last game we already mad a single player game. but we're thinking of ways to make it available for people to download, but like i said, we first need a name, so any help would be appreciated

lol, we also thought of scrapheap challenge, but like you said it's already taken. and thats the problem we have every time. we think of a good name that fits, we google that name and find out that that name is already used for a game by a professional company. so we need to find a name that isn't used yet

[Biscuit]

Euthanasia
Annihilation Races
Merc Driver
JetWars
Jetbike Wars

Yup.

Ehh... I suck at names, absolutely

However I like the sound of this... what language you writing it? using any particular 3D toolkit or what?




~+Ishmayeck, who has messed with 3D at some point, but never bothered to learn it all the way, much like everything else he's ever been involved in+~

Well i still like threshold als well, but not all my teammates agree with that one, so we need more options

well you can just let me know which one you like from the list i put in the first post, because we have a list as well of votes that people on other forums made.

i'm a designer of this game so i don't do any programming, but i make my moddels with 3D Studio Max, and texture them in photoshop CS3

thanks for the votes

[Windblade]

well thanks for the replies. but the outcome of all the poll's that we placed on the Internet and that we took at school is Rocket Rage. we also talked about this with Ernest Adams (some of you may know him from the game company Bullfrog) and he also thought Rocket Rage was the best for this game.

so Rocket Rage it is ;D

The one that did not get any votes? (Here..)

Good luck! Hope you'll make a killing.

[Windblade]

i know, but at our school it got like 17 votes, and the rest didn't get more than 10.
