The Vanu MAX so needs a redesign.

[kasiraghi]

Aw

That's me told

[Sabrak]

Seriously?

Because a group of friends think something doesn't look good, it needs a redesign?

That's just a matter of opinion.
Some will like it, others won't. So what?

Sigh...

i like all the max's

[BlazingSun]

The NC MAX is a trash can and the VS MAX is ... well it looks pretty awful. Oh .. and all the MAX's weapons are way too large for my taste.

Actually the VS MAX is growing on me. The only problem I had with the concept version was that its feet were a little too large, and the in game model has fixed that. At the same time, it's adjusted a few other things that aren't as much to my liking (most notably the guns), but over all the form isn't bad. It just looked a little awkward in some of those initial screen shots.

Ironically, the pornstar picture actually is what sold me on the design. If you look at the shape of the MAX in that picture, it's actually built pretty well. My guess is that some of the strangeness has been due to the VS MAX not having its proper animations finished yet, so we've seen it in some weird poses.

I would like to see some sleeker weapon models more like in the concept art though, and I wouldn't be against a few tweaks to the rest of the armor itself. Over all though, I think it looks pretty good.

Personally, I'm a big fan of the VS looking very different from the NC and TR styles. If you don't like weird purple alien shit, I'm not sure the VS is the right faction for you. Pewpewpew and alien hover vehicles, all day every day.

The shoulder armor sticking way out like it does is about the only issue I have. If they swept backward rather than extending straight out I think it might look better. Either way, definitely the worst looking and I wouldn't mind it getting tweaked a bit.

I'm liking that Tau style-drop.

As long as the animations really give it that "I'm more advanced than you, watch me run circles around you" feeling, I'm perfectly ok with it looking this way.

[CutterJohn]

If nothing else I'd love to see the shoulder pads be optional. The boots should also be reworked to just look like feet.

I really don't like that the vanu got switched from a meritocracy that incorporated advanced technology to a cult in alien cosplay. They didn't need a redesign, especially not the max. It was just as iconic as the other two.

[SurgeonX]

I really like the VS Max design.
But I don't think it really looks that different from the concept art TBH.
I think it's mainly the concept weapon that causes it to look so different.


Here's some quick side by side comparisons...

[Brusi]

A lot of other things that looked kinda weird end up looking really perfect once they are seen in game, in context.

My first opinion was also +1 concept art was nicer, but i'll wait till i see a better video of it moving around in the world before I make up my mind.

I note that some of the angles look extremely different between one screen shot and another. For example, the shoulder pads look much more smooth in some screens, yet have more ridges sticking out in others.

My guess is that these are sections that will move around with animation, sort of like how they have said the NC MAX will have moving pistons and shit.

So yeah, I'd like to see the VS MAX with proper animations before calling it.

We all know this game will turn into MAX-side 2...

Here is my totally mature, well-reasoned and constructive opinion on the VS max:



DERP!

Thanks for reading.
