[VioletZero]

So, what is that where they make performance enhancing chemicals?

[SKYeXile]

bet me, jerk...should not have gone looking for that biodome picture.

[cellinaire]

Massive indeed.

(BTW, the draw distance in that screenshot is almost 3km, Higby said)

[arclegger]

And that is what will stress me out the most on this project. Making sure that biolab is solid and fun. Been working on it for months now, can't wait until you guys play it :)

I hate a soft biolab

Provided it isn't any worse than the first...eg the generator at the top of the apex, then im sure it will be fine.

Yeah was just gonna say that. Don't put one of the key base objectives on the roof where defenders inside can't reach it. :p

Bio Lab fights in PS1 can actually be a helluva lot of fun if the attackers don't leg-hump the gen right away.

[Khellendros]

Damn that's a nice shot, wish we could see it in HD. god I wanna play this game so bad.

[Crazyduckling]

can't stand the VS gen droppers from Markov...

:evil::D

I always prefer HD too, and it's always torture when we get all these twitter pics that I just can't see in high rez. But I try not to complain because Higby can do these more frequent then "normal screenshots"

So keep it up Higgles!

[Hmr85]

The Bio lab looks great. Keep up the good work guys. That thing looks like it will be fun to fight in.

[sylphaen]

Arc, if it's not too confidential, is it a bottom-to-top fight with a big room for infantry battle at the top ?

It looks really really cool. Maybe my favorite base design/idea wise. Can't wait assaulting/defending in it.

i think it might be a field battle at the top :P

look at the banner pic :)

[Vash02]

Would be sweet if you could base jump off the top :)

[Notso]

looks awesome, but if its a fight at the top. air would wreck whatever infantry is up there in such a confined space

Not if the shield is up.

Can't openly talk about it just yet but you can always ask Higby at the agn cast ;) you never know what he might tell you.

[texico]

^ I've said this a few times, but some of the world and base designs for PS2 have been phenomenal, well done!

Not to mention we've seen like a fraction of them so far :D

[SgtMAD]

seeing how no one has asked the most important question about these base designs I will take the liberty to ask it.

do these Bases have the same extensive underground structures that we saw in PS or are we seeing the end of sub levels in PS2?

I think Higby did mention that at least the corridor-room-corridor design would be remove and it would be more about just room-to-room.

Perhaps that can hint something regarding your question, while it's not really about your question :D

[SniperSteve]

Stop showing us pictures!!! I can't wait anymore.... V_V

[Tikuto]

[Biohazard]

two things: is the top of the bio lab a big greenhouse for infantry combat? and the shield is clipping outside of the arm things.

[colorpilot]

wow that looks good. hope we don't have to wait to much longer to get our hand on the game.

[kklkit]

If I recall correctly, I think they have said base shield is related to gens in PS2? So maybe destroying the gen will open up a new attack route from above.

if you look at the 9 clip ( i think) you can see the objectives in the mossie hud that show a gate shield generator that can be destroyed

[Levente]

this game will be a success i can feel it :groovy:

[NewSith]

When we have been talking about PS2 scale, we never knew that it is was THAT literal!

[sylphaen]

Thanks arc. If you're NC, remember that there is always time to join the true revolution.
:groovy:

Any NC folk out here who would mind contacting their supreme troller about the PS2 biolab ?

I'm afraid a VS-to-NC talk and the sheer awesomeness of purple might make him feel anxious about giving a straight answer... I think even Vanu himself would have trouble to know what Higby might tell us.
:lol:

[xSquirtle]

I would like to see some inside screen shots.

[arclegger]

the shield is clipping outside of the arm things.

That was a bug that Higby was already yelling at me about, its been fixed :D The shield should be inside the arms.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON™

[TiberiusAudley]

An unattractive prospect. While researching for the role, I ran computer simulations demonstrating, incontrovertibly, that the whole bio-enclosure concept is fundamentally flawed. Be it expressed via dome, sphere, cube or even a stately tetrahedron, buddy!

I love how excited you are about it. I think that is frigging awesome. I absolutely cannot wait to check it out. Just from the screen shots we have seen so far it looks really cool.

Have you decided on layouts for the bases yet, or are you still toying around trying to find good ones?

Also, will a AMP station always be a AMP station, means base types share the same layout, or will each base have its own indoor layout?

Yea i know, pestering u with questions again n stuff. But if you gimme some answers, i shall provide you with good music again! ;)

I thought Blizzard had that trademarked?

[basti]

I thought Blizzard had that trademarked?

ALL game devs have that trademarked. Its a universal trademark. To be allowed to use it, you must at least think that you work on a game.

It really is quite open. ;)

[Coreldan]

I thought Valve used that before Blizzard though? :D

Nah, valve just have their own time
