Edit* It gets auto-resized Click here for full size

If people like this idea I will continue producing these. I have some ideas for future posters. I might even be persuaded to do them for the NC and the VS, though I would need to create distinct narratives and visual styles for each of them to really make it work.

Feedback is welcome!

lol I was thinking of doing the same the WW2 style posters...with less text though and focus more on the slogan and picture. looks good but.

This is glorious. A suggestion though, add the image URL link to the top of the first post too, the automatic image resizing on the forum makes it a little hard to read without clicking through and people are LAZY.

I've rehosted it on imgur. I really don't recommend using dropbox for hotlinking on forums or anywhere else, it'll expend the max downloads extremely rapidly and break.

EDIT: Also there's a typo on the first line "officies" instead of "offices"

EDIT2: Just noticed the stomping on the NC logo, brilliant.

Looks great. One thing though, the MAX in this picture is already stepping on a Dead NC...

Oops. I ran all the copy through MS Word but it doesn't check all-caps because it interprets them as acronyms (or something), and I missed that one when manually checking the all-caps text. This is why I like using Dropbox for hosting things though; I made a phantom edit

Having read all the PS fiction I'm not sure I agree with the blatant DDR-style propaganda of the TR. They're actually a lot more humanitarian than the NC (who are the actual bad guys, despite their calls for "freedom").

But then again, there might be a massive difference between old-style TR and Auraxis/infinite war style TR.

Officially, I wouldn't wipe my ass with this disgusting TR propaganda rag. NC 4 LIFE!!

Unofficially, that is freakin awesome, noxious. Well done, sir. Well done.

This looks great. It's pretty much advertisement-quality. Maybe PS2 website could host this sort of fan-made advertising?

Atheosim · 2012-03-29, 02:10 AM

I don't like the "'Freedom?' Not on our watch!" bit because it makes them sound like some sort of Pol Pot type deal.

Funny, that's how I always see the TR - angry little red and black peeps who are just really nasty. That's not based on anything personal about players who play TR, it's just what their unifom makes me think of?

"Freedom is Slavery" seems to fit them perfectly.

Interesting how different people envisage the empires in their own unique way!

Roradan · 2012-03-29, 03:03 AM

good job very nice, yes plz make one for the NC and vs i enjoyed it and you did a great job and i felt your passion in this peace.

Canaris · 2012-03-29, 04:14 AM

very well done, had a good laugh. though have to add I agree about the "Freedom, not on our watch", the TR are all about freedom it's the NC that have sacrificed theirs

I'd change it to "Anarchy!, not on our watch"

Also how can you call this propaganda, every thing I read in that looks like the truth and when has the truth ever been propaganda

Timealude · 2012-03-29, 06:21 AM

Very nice, Now if someone would make a futuristic looking one for Vanu.

Yeah, I've always seen them as the people who actually think things through and act for the good of all of the people, whereas the NC are solely seeking power and wealth, and the VS are endangering the entire human race by fucking with shit they don't know about.
