[Manitou]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[Dorest0rm]

Not sure if want.
Nice antenna tho.

[Jennyboo]

Sexy! :D

[TheRagingGerbil]

Good gawd that thing is sexy!!!!!
:love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

[JayC]

Definitely looks more futuristic, can we impale people on that thing?!

[basti]

My god that is awesome! :)

[Daimond]

Looks good.
And we should beable to tell now at a distance weather its a mossy or a reaver. not after its ontop of you. :)

[Canaris]

Impressive, most impressive :D

[Krushiev]

Sweet.

[TheRagingGerbil]

Got the TR color scheme as well. Cool!

[Lucage]

Loving the new art direction for the Mosquito.

[mgtully]

I would say the antenna is kind oversized .....
is that a pitotube? nop, its 2 long.
is that a radio antenna? nice , its using shorwave.

[Slepnair]

At least now noone can call the reaver a mossi now

The idea is to stab people with it.

[CutterJohn]

niceeee

A very nice style. Glad things will be looking less blocky, and more like actual vehicles.

Much as i love the screenshots, i wish they would stop abusing depth of field. There is no way the rear end would be that out of focus.

I think it's meant to be the reason it's call a Mosquito, homage to the RL pest ;)

Yeah... i got the part where they just want it to be more artistic, and I like it,

I mean, its a game.

[Chaotic Cow]

Wow...it actually looks dangerous. I'd be scared of it.

[Bags]

Hope there's no infantry instagib gun on it.

[DviddLeff]

Looks damned nice.

[Sentrosi]

It seems like they are keeping the speculative modular concept on air vehicles. I like it.

It's either really big, or you lay down in it.

[NivexQ]

When I saw this, I literally screamed out loud "Oh my god oh my god oh my god!!!"

This thing looks amazing. It looks alot better than the bulky, angular pile that we have now.

THANK YOU!

Edit :: On another note, THANK YOU SOE for not just making the Reaver a larger version of the Mosquito with Rockets on it. Hopefully there isn't a Wasp, but if there is, I hope that it looks different than both the Mosquito and Reaver.

[EVILPIG]

She does look fast!

[Firefly]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!!

[Firefly]

PS: CHECK OUT THE TR LOGO ON THAT BAD BOY.

So excited I turned on caps, bitches.

[Aractain]

Its got the right logo but its still blue. :(

Looks cool. Why is the canopy opaque?

[Grimster]

Looks really awesome!! :)

[Firefly]

Its got the right logo but its still blue. :(
The lighting, shading and background make it look blue, I think it's gunmetal or grey. There's a big-ass red stripe too.

[Goku]

Looks good! I thought it was a NC one until I maximized the image and saw the red plus black along with the TR symbol. Now we just need a VS vehicle.

[Miir]

Looks great!... can't wait to see it in action.

[Bags]

you guys think that's a gun on the front or some sort of camera (like those black ones on the cielings of grocery stores)? Looks like a really big barrel if its a gun tbh. OR is the gun just not in like the reaver?

and that antanae looks like it can impale people, lol

[MgFalcon]

Damn this looks nice! I've always wanted to be stuck in a bubble lol

[Pillow]

Nice i like it!
I even put it as desktop backround :)

[Sirisian]

Canopy looks odd. Even though the game is sci-fi I'd like to see a version with a less rounded/opaque look. Like using flat pieces of transparent glass. The differences in artistic style between this and the reaver and galaxy seem too large like it was designed by another company.
Look at them side by side.

*snip*

I'm pretty sure they're trying to give the mossie more of a "Scout drone" feel than a combat plane.

Only difference in design is it's round.. not sure how that makes it look like a different company made it. Plus, the galaxy isn't rendered the same way as those two planes. The art style is almost exactly the same.. maybe you should get your eyes checked lol

[Baneblade]

If it is just a newer version of the old mossie, I'd rather see if left out completely.

[Bags]

I'd rather see your favorite air vehicle left out too.

ouch. I was just referring to the canopy part which to me seems different from the other two planes. Everything else is fine on it. You don't find it the least bit odd that the canopy is opaque in the image? I guess it bothered me more than others. :lol:

[Baneblade]

I'd rather see your favorite air vehicle left out too.

Give all empires equally effective infantry AA and you can have your flying sniping autocannon.

[Bags]

Give all empires equally effective infantry AA and you can have your flying sniping autocannon.

Lets see...

Phoenix - works well against mossies providing you're not 1v1
AP JH - lols @ mossies


Lancer - lols @ mossies
Starfire - lols @ mossies

Striker - lols @ mossies
AP MCG - lols @ mossies
Burster - lols @ mossies

And if you noticed I'm against the mossie being an infantry farming machine. But I shouldn't expect people to know that, I mean it's not like I've ever said that.

Oh wait, I did.
Hope there's no infantry instagib gun on it.

on page 2

Sure you'll generally lose 1v1 against a mossie... but he is in a vehicle. Get 2 - 3 people and mossies don't stand a chance.

[Jonny]

But remember they've only given us artwork, no information about the vehicle so you can only speculate about how it works.

On that point, I think it looks great. Its a spy plane(ish) so the opaque cockpit ties in there as well as looking awesome.

Loving the art direction and now the reaver suddenly looks very powerful in comparison.

Lots of good work there SOE! But remember, Fun over realism :) (as to how it handles)

[Tigersmith]

Very very cool, soo excited :)

Art direction is looking fantastic, but we have only seen 3 models. No Environments or Buildings. We shall see

YES :) very much looking forward to an environment pic.

[tkoreaper]

You guys ever thought that maybe in PS:N vehicles won't be different by color alone?

For example, look at today's Prowler and Vanguard. The Prowler has a rounded model whereas the Vanguard is more blocky and square. Now take a look at the PS:N version of the NC's Reaver and the TR's Mosquito. The Reaver is much more blocky than the Mosquito and I think it has to do with it being a NC Reaver.

This could easily explain the huge difference in model design and why the color doesn't stick out much.

[Evilmp]

you're right tkoreaper,

it could be the case. but either way,

That sounds kind of dumb from a resources point of view. If your going to make different vehicles (empire specific) then make actual different vehicles.... I doubt they would have done that.

This is just be rounded because its a speedy recon/interceptor and the reaver is a gunship. Much simpler.

[T-Ray]

Thank you my good man ;)

[otomotopia]

I wouldn't put it past them. SoE has a lot of talented artists.

Even so, its really 50/50. I'm liking this design, even if it does 'clash' against other vehicles.

Side note, I can't find a logo, period. All I see is that black intake-like T on the fuselage and that somewhat faded red stripe. And the red tint on the window, of course, but that may simply be reflection from the...sun..set? 0_0

Either way, with the other models, target identification from color was clear. Not so much with this one. If it is because of the refraction, that's perfectly fine by me. That'd be an awesome property to be aware of and use tactically.

[basti]

Thank you my good man ;)

So, no empire specific look for common pool stuff, even if the difference is only small?

Yep, I see it. Thanks!

...doesn't look like there's many other distinctive markings though. Unless the 3rd faction is like... a different color. Please be more Mighty Ducks then frat boy.

Nice Visual work T-Ray!!!

Good to see ya again :D

[Westy543]

Reminds me of the Nod Venom out of C&C 3.

Very nice, loving the TR colors and fancy render. Are those clouds going to be in the skybox?

[Firefly]

I can deal with the sci-fi canopy and appearance. PS's graphics were, for the time, decent. But they didn't have that feel of "It's the year 3100-something". Let's not forget, this was designed to be over a thousand years in the future.

[Tikuto]

If I was a woman I'd feel sexy.

[otomotopia]

Oh Tikuto, I've missed your antics ever since GA...

Either way, I'm thinking that the window isn't actually a red tint, even if it is TR. I think it could be a red herring. Rather, the red tint/color effect is because of a sunset.

/gasp

[Tikuto]

Oh Tikuto, I've missed your antics ever since GA...

I knew I reckonized that your name from somewhere. I was like "wtf? :huh:" for a whole time on this forum some day last week lol. I also recall some bullshit coming my way from people. Can't be you?

[Bags]

It better be a red tint! :D

[PsychoXR-20]

Anyone else notice the front wheel, just underneath where the front gun would be mounted?
Makes me wonder if vehicles like the Galaxy and mossie will require runways to take-off/land.

Runways = airports, airports = cities perhaps?

[EVILoHOMER]

These are just out of game shots with fake lighting and static backgrounds right? Since the first two shots didn't exactly look that great so they wanted to give more of an idea of how it looks in game.

That or it looks like Unreal Engine 3 lol.


Either way I like the new Reaver and Mosq models.

[Jonny]

I really hope its not Unreal Engine 3...or if it is they get rid of that horrible
bloom/depth of field/brown/blur look which ruins that engine...and its dull lighting.

I really hope they go with a crisp, well lit and not desaturated environment, with a nice simple art style and keep it fresh. I think game designers have alot to learn from the simple nice ambiance of TF2 compared to some modern overly post processed games.

That and a game world which feels cohesive, interactive and fun, and they'll be fine.

/facepalm

For the billionth time people. Just because the aircraft has wheels does not mean it's gonna require a runway. The AV-8B Harrier has wheels and is a VTOL jet.

Just because it's Planetside Next doesn't mean we WILL have all VTOL airplanes either. Maybe just some will be VTOL. Maybe all. Maybe *gasp* none.

Also, thanks for using a modern aircraft. You're helping to forward a point I made about how we may have a degradation of technology to more 'modern' equivalents.

Also, Tikuto, I use antics in the best way possible-you were very funny. No crap came from my direction, mate.

[Snipefrag]

Sexy !

[CutterJohn]

Picture of F-22

Picture of AH-64

Sorry. I get tired of the whole concept of factionalized looks in video games.




And I hope the airplanes are VTOL, because they'd be a pain to use if not, but I also hope they have a capacitor bar or something that drains when they are below X speed, resulting in not being able to hover for an extended time. I think that would be a good compromise. Some would have larger hover reserves than others.

[otomotopia]

Well, they are designed by different companies. Boeing makes the AH-64, and Lockheed Martin makes the F-22.

Boeing makes the AH-64, and Lockheed Martin makes the F-22.Darn you beat me to it. Also you're comparing a helicopter with a plane. Remember I'm fine with the whole design and like it. I just wanted to see a version with a transparent canopy in the reaver/galaxy style. (More metal reinforcement maybe with more angles and less domed). Not sure if T-Ray could get someone to do that. ;)

Though honestly I never really flew the Mosquito much. As long as the Liberator has a similar design as the Galaxy then everything is fine with me.

[KCTitan]

I like the new Mossy. Looks sexy! I'm absolutely loving this new art direction that PSN is taking over PS.

Can we have a Prowler screen next? :o

[Sifer2]

The Mosquito itself looks pretty awesome. An helps seal the deal its a futuristic game. Though the color scheme is difficult to read. At first I thought it was NC but then realized the blue wasn't bright enough so I thought maybe VS. Then finally high rezed it an saw the TR logo. Man if there wasn't name pop ups I would friendly fire that thing out of the sky for sure lol. Faction color needs to be a bit more obvious.

[CutterJohn]

Well, they are designed by different companies. Boeing makes the AH-64, and Lockheed Martin makes the F-22.

Thats the point. Theres no RP about what fictional company designed what. Not that vehicles designed by the same company need look anything similar.

Hughes(not Boeing) made the AH64. They also made the AH-6. First flights were just a few years apart. Interesting variation in looks. Almost a familiar variation, that I feel I've seen recently.. :D

In 1984, McDonnell Douglas purchased Hughes Helicopter Division from Summa Corporation. McDonnell Douglas later merged with Boeing to form The Boeing Company in 1997. The Boeing Company therefore grandfathered all rights and ownership of the Hughes Model 77 and the Apache. The Boeing Company currently manufactures the AH-64D under its Boeing Defense, Space & Security division.

If you're going to try and be smart, at least be smart about it.

When I said "another company" I meant like SOE designed the new Mosquito canopy separately from the other two. I'd prefer if they were more uniform. Plus they changed it a bit much from the original (http://gameswalls.com/wallpapers/p/planetside/mosquito-1.jpg).

Ah. I like it. I suppose I just prefer less styling in general for games. Nobody really goes out of their way to define a uniform 'look' for their machines except a few car companies. Just a minor nitpick I have.

@oto

I know. I was making the point that the same company designed two quite different looking vehicles, and did so with two Hughes helo's rather than pick something else by Boeing, as I didn't want someone to say 'well the ah64 was made by hughes'.

Guess that didn't work out so well. >_<

[Bags]

I don't see why a scout drone (the mossie was originally intended to be a scout / recon vehicle) would look anything like an attack plane thing.

[Furret]

I actually think it would be a very interesting twist to take away all weaponry from the mossie so its only defenses are speed and radar.

I would change the role the mossie has, and it would stop people from hover/camping and then afterburning it out of there.

[Hamma]

Over 12 hours later I've finally got some time to post :lol:

Another awesome screenshot - I must admit I still love the direction they are going. I think we are still going to see VTOL all around, having wheels doesn't mean it cant VTOL :D

It looks mean as hell especially in TR colors - much meaner than the Mosquito as we know it now.

You guys ever thought that maybe in PS:N vehicles won't be different by color alone?

For example, look at today's Prowler and Vanguard. The Prowler has a rounded model whereas the Vanguard is more blocky and square. Now take a look at the PS:N version of the NC's Reaver and the TR's Mosquito. The Reaver is much more blocky than the Mosquito and I think it has to do with it being a NC Reaver.

This could easily explain the huge difference in model design and why the color doesn't stick out much.

Best post in the thread, and an awesome observation that I think may be true based on what we have seen so far. I guess we wouldn't be able to confirm until a dev confirmed it or, if we saw some more TR.

[CutterJohn]

Its certainly possible there will be more empire specific vehicles. I did always find it strange that there was no ES air cav.

I'm not sure if I like that or not. On the one hand, sure, it varies the fights more, depending on who you are facing off against. On the other.. Balance between sides was enough of an issue with the relatively minor differences in PS, and I've played enough BF or TF2 to know that having varied sides isn't necessary for fun fights. It can help, its not necessarily true that it must help.

[Aractain]

I wanted everything to be empire specific back in the day (not like rexo, just weapons/vehicles/maxs etc).

That does happen to massively increase the amount of work you need to do but I really loved Planetside's aesthetic and the diffrent design of the factions. (I hated the ancient stuff from CC, it detracted from the feel of the game, from the rest of the graphics - they felt like manakins with no clothes on them).

So I would be all for empire specific if it wasn't just cosmetic.


edit: is a manakin something from world of warcraft?

[Sovereign]

Looking good, I really 'dig' this new style and direction they are taking for PS2, I just hope that SOE somehow has learned from their mistakes from the first time around and will not create another catastrophic game ruining debacle (see BFRs)

Oh and Hi people, its been a long time since I last came here and with the news of psn I finally decided to be fully initiated into you ranks and community, as long as you deem it so of course ;)

Anyway I cant wait to get back into one of the games that truly converted me into gaming in the first place (well competitive wise that is) Last time around I played this and SWG but should had spent my time better on PS instead, I shalt make that mistake again!! :P

[QuiCKaNdDeaDLy]

SCHweet!

This could easily explain the huge difference in model design and why the color doesn't stick out much.

That's exactly what I've always wanted to see in PS and the first thing I thought when I looked at the screen.

In gameplay terms, there's no reason to not have different looking models that function the same way. My dream is for an empire specific model for every vehicle that functions like the empires philosophy, but then also have a common pool variant as well. That's obviously excessive on development though.

On a different note, I'm really interested to learn how these aircraft work. The reaver has skids, but the gal and mossy have wheels. Yet the mossy and reaver both look VTOL, where the gal doesn't (I thought the gal kind of looked like it had flaps).

[Sirisian]

Something just occurred to me. I kind of assumed that they'd remove the vulture from the game maybe and go with one bomber, but what about the Wasp? That was a rather different aircraft with a special role. I wonder if that's joining the battle with a new model.

[Bags]

I hope not. I can't think of anyone who actually likes it.

[Peacemaker]

OMFG BONER.

[KCTitan]

I enjoy flying in the wasp. Hope it makes it into PSN but I have my doubts.

[NCLynx]

I hope not. I can't think of anyone who actually likes it.

I like the Wasp. Nice to meet ya.

[BlazingSun]

As mentioned here before, this moskito, especially the cockpit area, looks very different in design than the Reaver, which leads me to the assumption, that we might see more empire specific vehicles/aircrafts. Personally I'd welcome this change (empire specific aircrafts), even if it's just a (small) visuall difference.

Nobody has said this is empire specific yet. It may just have a different look because its a different vehicle with a different role and different requirements.

[Bags]

I like the Wasp. Nice to meet ya.

I should have said anyone good at A2A fighting doesn't like the wasp. Why dog fight when you can pull an i-win button?

Lol you think I don't use the Mossie, you're a funny guy! Also the chaingun on the Wasp is godly.

Quick edit: Wasps are so hard to defend against right? :(:(:(:(

[CutterJohn]

Read my post again.

You're saying it looks different, so you assume it could mean its an empire variant. I'm saying it could just look different.

[skizzzle]

Good gawd that thing is sexy!!!!!


exactly THIS is what was thinking! :D

[stylus]

Can I get my name engraved on mine please?

P.S. I like.

[Elude]

I hope it's more then just a visual difference for aircraft for each faction. Imagine one faction being more equipped with better air to ground aircraft where another is better against air to air.

I'm not saying that it should be a large difference, but enough difference to make it slightly harder on the faction going toe to toe with another that's better equipped with the situation.

I'd also like to see weaponry changed for each of the standard vehicles to fit that factions appearance more.

By all means have a mosquito for every race, but each mosquito should be slightly different in statistics, and not just visuals.

[Traak]

/facepalm

For the billionth time people. Just because the aircraft has wheels does not mean it's gonna require a runway. The AV-8B Harrier has wheels and is a VTOL jet.

Actually it is a V/STOL jet. But, whatever they are, even if they are VTOL, they use wheels for taxiing. This is a game. I doubt there will be a lot of taxiing. But who knows?

[Raymac]

I know I'm late to the party here. I just want to say....FUCK YEAH!

This thing is beautiful, I really don't know why I keep hearing people thinking it wont have a weapon and only be for recon because the picture clearly makes it look like it has a canon or canon spot under the nose just like the old mosi. I would also like a couple of sidewinders for air to air on those wing hard points if that would not be to much to ask. It would be nice to see more multi role vehicles in the new PS more realistic and futuristic.
