    That is all.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Agreed. I'm not one for emotional stuff..... but common.... after watching that video I nearly fainted
    Giant onos breaking through the "door of F4"..... it is simply beautiful.
    Can I marry this video?
    <3

    PS: On a side note, I would have liked the special edition to have consti come with it. Black armour and early testing is good enough for me to buy it, but isn't very enticing to those old time fans of NS who are undecided in which package to buy.

    OH MY GOD....

    that onos, oh my god, I am so glad it got upgraded, and my god, it looks freaking awesome.. I cant wait to see the other aliens and how they look, I think i need another towel!

    Well after seeing the HD version for the first time I'm going to be buying the special edition for my girlfriend and myself so we can get back into the Natural Selection swing of things during the beta <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" /> Although, chances are fairly high that she'll just run around as a gorge, making me follow as a skulk to protect her bum from the marines...just like NS1 I guess.

    (First post here in almost 4 years, kind of nice & weird to see so many familiar faces around :x )

    NS1 was so enjoyable, I just had to buy the special edition.
    That new onos does look rather good.

    Where's my linux version D: and I was hoping for something like 10% off for constellation members. I'd preorder it if you promised to release a linux client in some form (alpha/beta) within 6 months of the windows one and that the windows wine plays fine under wine.

    I'll stick to ns1 for now.

    where's muh cd keyz.. Is there anyone I can contact about the location of it? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    Good stuff!

    Only downside of that video, the marine guns still needs some work. They were probably all you had at the time of making the teaser but they were the only disappointment. Judging by the rest of the artwork the weaponry will get there!

    I was also hoping to see more of the DI especially on a detailed map like you had on the teaser.

    The first post since a looong time. I played NS for about 3 years and i liked it very much... great community, great teamplay and many more...

    And now the time comes that i can play NS2!! I'm so happy that it is coming and I play with all my old mates. I was a constellation member and i'm also a Special Edition buyer. Why? Because no other game were such creative and breath taking. Remember the clanwars were all Marines go from room to room, and you hear the alien all arround you. Then there is the moment that the alien jump of from the vents and climb along the walls and attack. In a dark room with loud game sounds... scarry <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" /> and I like it so much.

    What marine's guns? There are no gun models I can see in the teaser, are you confusing the broken locks of the door with weapons

    Yeah, those weren't guns, those were the door lock mechanism pieces that flew off when the Onos broke through. I would hope the guns look cooler then that. But don't worry, you weren't the only one who thought that.

    Ever get that stupid feeling? ya, I'm there right now.
  • NeoSniperNeoSniper Join Date: 2005-06-02 Member: 52976Members
    Here's what I did:
    *Pre-ordered SE as soon as I found out I could (liked many others here just as a thank you for NS1)
    *later the teaser came out! Watched it, loved it.
    *pre-ordered another SE copy for a friend.
    *Wanted to post here but the site went down right then (for like 3-4 days it seems)
    *finally able to post this!

    Thanks to you UWE! for NS1 and for sharing the NS2 development so openly all this time. Oh! And don't forget to get enough sleep and eat healthy food.

    Yea, I thought completely the same mate, had to rewind a bit back to get the whole picture...

    ... and speaking of guns - I wouldn't mind hearing a bit more about the progress on Frontiersmen Weaponry *HINT* *HINT*

    <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />

    not pictures of models and stuff, I'm sure it's still WIP and that's cool, but even your thoughts on that topic would be very appricieated (if they evolved somehow since the last podcast about it).

    Cheers!

    Nice catch MaS4Cr3. I watched the teaser more than a dozen times and never noticed the hive.
  • kababkabab Join Date: 2003-12-15 Member: 24384Members, Constellation
    One thing i'd like to know..

    The dynamic shadow map quality looks insanely nice not flicking or aliasing is this representative of the game? Also will be people have the option to turn off the shadows or are they hard coded on.

    AWESOME! I'm so exited! I'm going to pre order it but i want the Mac version even if it takes ages to be released.

    After a saw the NS2 teaser i was thinkin and thinking ... i guess it remindes me a little bit of Doom 3!

    Back in 2004 i took a video from my brand new D3 game with fraps and guess what ... i found my videos on a very old HDD ... i just converted the video because it was still in the fraps codec encoded using poor moviemaker. Result is a 640x480 pixel - 4.79 MB and 52 seconds video of Doom 3 in game footage <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />

    You can get it @ <a href="http://www.fire-bursts.com/downloads/Doom3-Unsichtbar-2004.wmv" target="_blank">http://www.fire-bursts.com/downloads/Doom3...chtbar-2004.wmv</a>

    Just replace the Monster with an onos and it almost looks like the same ... or not? Opinions? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    Wow I've been so busy these past months it seems I've missed a <i>lot</i>!

    Thematic logo video segment, for both the company and the game. Very nice. The teaser doesn't show much (well other than some wicked stuff with a fade pwning some marine's butt on the other side of that door and then an onos (at least I think it was an onos) busting through the door in a highly dramatic fashion), but that's why it's called a teaser of course. Heh.

    Keep up the excellent work!!!




    ...oh and I almost forgot:

  • MighTyMighTy Join Date: 2008-07-26 Member: 64699Members
    very cool teaser, love the look of the onos (sorta like a rhino on steroids and crack, hehe) can't wait to see more of the game

    I'm sure you guys took care of this, but my only consirn with NS2 right now is how user-friendly it's going to be, because it's hard for a new player to get into NS1 (understanding how everything works).
    So that's my question, are there tutorials/ is it all easier to figure out now?
  • HolodoctorHolodoctor Join Date: 2009-05-28 Member: 67526Members
    Hiya.
    I preordered the 40 buck collection on the first possible day, hoping that you'd release a Linux version eventually.
    I preordered it to support you, but I'd really appreciate a Linux version of NS2. I guess I wouldn't have preordered it if I hadn't read somewhere on your blog, that you might give us a Linux client as soon as you got some time to do it.
    Also I liked NS1. At least the Marine side.
    And could you make that All-Black-Marine-Armor optional? I want to be able to switch it off.

    Preordered and ready! I'm definitely impressed by the progress made by our friendly neighborhood UWE.

    Too bad paypal won't accept my visa card <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" /> Will try other methods of paying..

    I've been lurking in the forums once a month anonymously (wife+web=bad combination) for updates and can't wait to see the alpha/beta!
  • kyliegirlkyliegirl Gorge Master Australia Join Date: 2002-12-11 Member: 10586Members, Reinforced - Shadow
    pre-ordered and ready to go! I so cant wait to play this, I have been waiting all this time!

    Gotta say again I am so happy you decided to modify the onos flayra, excellent evolution choice I cant wait to see how it moves overall and check out the rest of the sexy anatomy of the other life forms <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" /> I am extremely excited about NS2, especially now since the kharaa have evolved <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" /> *dances*

    I'd like to pre-order right now, but I'd rather do it through Steam. Sure hope you finalise things fast!
