Looks pretty cool. The audio was perfect too

Sardus · 2011-11-22, 03:56 PM

ROFL at the audio. Tray is in the wrong business. Well actually- maybe that's the reason why he's in this one

TRay Autotune is badass. Nice.

Bringing back the all beamers squad on day 1. That is my promise.

SKYeXile · 2011-11-22, 04:10 PM

yea, im not feeling those helmets.

EASyEightyEight · 2011-11-22, 04:58 PM

The nano suit look is nice. The helmets...

Sticking with my TR fo sho'.

BTW, called it in the bullet drop thread way back: VS weaponry doesn't suffer bullet drop, just the same DDR we all know and love.

They did hint at the beamer having infinite ammo however. Wonder if ALL empires handguns will have infinite ammo, since scavenging isn't a likely scenario to happen in PS2?

Hey T-Ray! Your awesome V.S. rap, any possibilities that i could have that as my cellphone signal?

Yeah, if they'd changed the visor to one that made the whole helmet look more fiercesome then im sure it would be so much more awesome..

It's the chin strap with the back part that does it. The visor is ok imo.

Then you through in the wangsta pistol. Not fearsome at all, luckily we these angry cyclist bring the guns. And their big brothers (Maxes) to make them look scary. Side view kills it for me Ima laugh every time. Everything looks good though, kinda like it gives me a running joke kinda like how VS rexo looked like a cockroach with your backpack. Speakin of rexo...

Raymac · 2011-11-22, 06:18 PM

Sorry to break the news to you guys, but the VS will not be a playable faction in Planetside 2. The evidence is right there in the debriefing. TRay made a clear reference to a famous basketball quote in his little poem, talkin about practice. The player that made this quote is Allen Iverson. His nickname throughout his career...you guessed it, AI.

So it is clear that the VS will be 100% AI.

I kid. I kid. We like to have fun around here.

Up at Penn State?

But ya, the helmet is tough. Not sure what to do with it. I don't like the PS1 helmet but this one does look like a bike helmet too :/

I feel like we need something between this one and the PS1 helmet. While the scaling on the helmet gives it the 'triangle' shape, I think we need some actual edges on the helmet to break it up some. It just doesn't seem to match the layered approach of the armor.

QuantumMechanic · 2011-11-22, 06:35 PM

The textures do look great, but I have to admit I miss how the PS1 Vanu armor would shimmer different shades of purple as light passed over it. That was a totally badass effect - my main use of 3rd person view was to admire my own armor.

These being only still pictures; perhaps the shimmer is still in there. The character turnround video will tell.

Looking forward to see what the new Vanu rexo looks like!

Yea i was thinking the same with the diminish damage and VS weapon drop.

I wonder if that will mean VS are ineffective fighting at range then...though i guess even projectile weapons would be doing less damage at range?...well this is the case in BF3...

Nephilimuk · 2011-11-22, 06:39 PM

Awesome stuff VS 4 Life! folks can't wait for the release of the game it is looking epic.

TRay do you have some 1980's Synth Pop bohemian refugees living in your cupboard? Also if they are New Order or Talk Talk could you let them out please?

The tune was kind of really wrong but quite right if you get what i mean. Would not want to listen to it again though.
