Natural Selection: Source

<div class="IPBDescription">use the source luke...</div> With HL2, and the new 'source' engine coming out, what is to become of NS?

We have already seen DOD source and HL1 Source. The concept of NS source would, in my opinion be FRKN AWSM!

Not only are the Physics awsomely realistic, but the weapon effects, glows and explosions would be awsome. The ragdoll physics are also very cool. Imagine knifing an onos and being able to wear it like a bearskin coat...

We have all seen how in NS, the death sequences are REALLY cruddish. E.g: skulk rush kill - the skulk does a backflip and dies. Gorge kill - flops to side like a brick (same with onos)...
Now, You blow the skulk a new breathing hole and it goes completely limp, whilst still in the motion of pouncing, but hits a wall and smacks hard on its face, breaking its back and flopping over like a U. Now this is cool stuff.

THe source engine would also provide demo's and 'movies' worth watching. Although i don't like to slander peoples work (and they must have put a lot of effort into it *s*****) but the dark horizon series really stinks due to the whole fact that the deathsequences sucked. If you could get some real movie bullets flying, Debris whizzing and skulks going splat on your visor, now thats quality family entertainment...

NS source excites me... i need to be alone with myself

    maby they could add new weapons too... lke a flamethrower, and the aliens could have some cool spore or combo attacks, like some serious slashes... More equiptment for rines, and more species for kharaa... maby even a really small thing, like the chestburster from aliens that after so many kills gets to morph into a super beast <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

    They should give kharaa more cool abilities... like DOOM 3 stuff

    I know this has been asked before by many people. However, I can't seem to find any of those threads using search, so I'll summarize the answer given before. Basically, some form of NS will most likely make it to another engine at some point. The Source engine is certainly a consideration. However, they want to make sure that it actually becomes popular, and also want to determine the diffuculty of making NS for Source, before fully considering it. Another possibility is that Flayra will find another engine, or even use his own (since he is starting up a company).

    i dont really agree with flayra's ideas... i think NS should be given to a different team... i mean, its great flayra did this and hes private and stuff... but NS would be better with a bigger company i rekons... like VALVE, although i h8 valve kus of hl2 <span style='color:red'>**** (Do not evade the swear filters. They are there for a reason. -Talesin)</span>...

    ne way, i dont care who makes it... just as long as it happens... NS needs an update... (again)

    NS is Flayra's baby. It's his. Period. As a developer myself, I can say that the software I make is mine and no one else's. It's hard to give your baby away.

    p.s. Will be locked.

    One: this kind of post seems to belong in I&S.
    Two: The spelling and grammar are something I would expect from a post in I&S. Spell checkers are your friend. Unless you can get most basic words right on the first try, one would suggest not posting without one. If I have to try to read something because someone can't spell, I just won't read it at all.
    Three: Don't Dodge the swear filter please. I really can't do anything about you dodging it as I'm just a normal forum goer, but its a suggestion. You know, swear filters ARE there for a reason.
    Four: I NS being ported to Source will depend on just how successful HL2 and the Source engine end up being. If HL2 is released and over half the community just disappears, they would probably make a source port. If people don't want it, it would be a waste of time to port it.

    Sherrif lobo, guess what? This has been asked/answered many times and isnt definitely/definitely not going to happen. Flayra and the devs are discussing this, until then, leave it be.

    BTW: are you the sherriff lobo I know? It's [MoD]Cha0s C0ntr0L!

    Are you crazy? VALVE would turn NS into a Sci-Fi Counter-Strike and screw the whole game up.
