Someone saw Bags complaining...

I'm looking forward to seeing more of that VS MAX, it did look quite bad-ass. I can already picture our laser dots painting them to oblivion!

[sylphaen]

I fully disapprove the TR/NC love but... oh well... Can't please everyone
:P

Cheers from someone who grew up in Abidjan ! Lagos, big big city.

Looks like some VS WIP.

[Furber]

hell yeah TR rep

[CrystalViolet]

Looks like our max in the beginning stages of being modeled. Interesting that he is using an anatomically correct human form as a starting point considering the anime influence of the VS max. I'm glad they're trying to keep a sense of realistic human proportions.

There. Is. No. Anime. Influence. Perhaps you should look up what anime is before ever posting about it again.

Here, I'll do it for you.

First result. I don't see any similarities between the VS MAX and that picture.



On topic;

VS MAX is lookin' sexy.

[Mastachief]

[CrystalViolet]

That's because you're looking at the back.

Just wait until it turns around for the massive round eyes that are no way asian and the oversized boobs.

Which came FAR before the "Kawaii big boobies girls desu" phenomena

This is no zaku!

[Snowfake]

Like the Arsenal shout outs :)

[Missundaztood]

@ Kenneth Coker

Arsenal fan eh? Grats on the qualification to next stages of the Champions league, as a Manchester United fan living in Manchester (we were knocked out this evening. Gutted!) that's a pretty tough thing to say.

Still we whooped you silly a few months ago, what was it 6-1? So it's all good! ;)

[Bags]

First dev to say he enjoys playing his faction instead of "i like their ideology".

Though, it could be that the question is phrased to them "which faction's idology do you like more"

[Canaris]

Well first off Kenneth may I just say :trrocks: glad to have you aboard!
Don't get to hung up over the NC's ideology, it's all lies ;)

So we have you to thank for some of the fantastic character models, they look epic. Can't wait to see more of your work.

I am excited by the chance to work on an immersive universe with so much history and unique fan fervor
I blame the rabies :D

[CutterJohn]

Videogames were hard to get in Lagos during the 90s so playing them, whenever there was electricity, was extra special.

One of lifes little reminders that I need to stop complaining so much.

[Shogun]

All in all and inspiring as it is. SOE is doing what they set out to do.

They are giving fucking BIO's for people who work there.. to let us get to know them.... this is so awesome and the shit I have been preaching for an entire year.

This, along side two other bio's.....

This is SOE stating it's time for to help them help us.

Kudos to SOE.

I really think SOE has made a turn-around and is about to make sincere abilities to make this right, despites the suits who refused us.

yes, soe really shows some good will here! i like it, too!
maybe they really have learned from all those mistakes they made in the past?
it´s a really great strategy, to feed us the bios of everyone on the team to bridge the time until they can present some brandnew ingame stuff for us to drool over!
they have realized that we are veeeeery hungry for every little piece of info on the game and the great guys who create this world for us! and giving us these bios keeps us busy and happy! and i think almost every happy fan keeps on promoting the game helping the word going viral! at least it works for me. whenever i talk to gamers who like pvp, i point them in the general direction of ps2 and psu! and everytime i go totally crazy about all the options ps2 will deliver. nobody can believe that ps2 will feature every playstyle you can imagine or know from any other shooter.

i totally like the infos on the team members so far! great to learn about the team! now we can start complaining to the responsible guys instead of flaming matt or t-ray for everything! muaharrharrharr! :evil:

fun aside, i am impressed so far! we got some really big caliber experienced devs in the team! who was responsible for the recruiting? this guy made a great job! can´t wait to hear about other devs, their previous works, and what they do for ps2 right now!

[LostSoul]

He's an Arsenal fan and calls it 'soccer' ... I say out with him!

[TheRagingGerbil]

the oversized boobs.

This I can get behind!

[Captain1nsaneo]

These are so much better than the normal credits list that you have to go out of your way to find and read. I can't say I like hearing that about the TR but miniguns do have a certain panache I must admit. Pity about how they need ammo.

[mbarrett]

i just hope you guys keep the NC scatter max the same , in terms of same x 3 fire modes , splatter max is one mean Max unit especially with a good player using it , i really hope it stays close to the original scatter max as possible !

[Coreldan]

Personally as an NC player I hope NC gets no faction specific shotguns. Having a common pool shotgun is enough, I HATED being pigeonholed into shotguns, that are niche weapons in general.

Well, I don't mind NC specific shotguns, but I want a non-shotgun alternative. NC HA specific weapon being a shotgun? No problem as long as I get equally viable... Heavy Gauss Rifle :D If I have to use shotguns, fuck that.

Kenneth, the NC have their own cool aid, don't drink it!

[ShockNC]

Kenneth, the NC have their own cool aid, don't drink it!

we have 5 different flavors while the TR and the VS only have one.

[sylphaen]

In NC, the best recipe is still for the rich while the poor get the failed manufactured ones.

Our kool-aid is consistently high-quality stuff because we want the best for each one of us.

Cannot go wrong with purple !
