Very cool, but one might almost mistake the Hellbender for the scorpion, at least judging by the first shot, not so much with the second.
Did they owe you anything ?SirYawnalot said:
I'm certain they don't ... so quit whining.
Ever considered that the genre/game-style that UT-series represents is a mere niche-game ?
That the kind of people that would want to know already know ?
And that there simply won't be any new players ? Or that the near-release hype will be good enough to attract them ?
Considering the expected minimum requirements I doubt there are many people that would want to upgrade for a boring old game like this. Especially now that even Warfare/Conquest appears to be a slightly improved Onslaught ...

well maybe like... they dont want to spoil everything for us, you know? not like they owe you information, they can give however much out they please, and by giving out as little as possible I think they are doing the right thing. I'd like to hop into the game and be surprised by as many things as possible.
You're missing the point...
Not over-hyping a game is fair enough. But there's a difference between not over-hyping a game, and just not telling anybody about it. The game will not attract any new players if only people inside the UT community know about it.

UT isn't freeware, that argument doesn't really apply here.JaFO said:
Anyway, after the initial feeling of seeing the same things yet again has worn off a bit, I don't feel quite so insulted- it's probably just a prelude to a whole lot more in the run to E3.
Given how well every game in the UT series has apparently sold compared with the amount of players we know continue to play it by the online numbers, I think it's a given that people really need to be sold over on this one. You could argue that the previous sales record indicates that people will continue to buy it regardless, I'd reply that if people really haven't been enjoying the last few UTs, they'll need a *lot* of justification to give it another try. The strong sales themselves (if true; I admittedly lack evidence) prove this "niche" genre still generates plenty of interest.JaFO said:
Also, as has been said before, a lot of gamers you talk to haven't heard of UT2007 (I don't think even my old schoolfriends have, who were avid devotees of the original UT). Marketting ain't doing its job.
Ah, my turn to have a bitch at you now.JaFO said:
War Tourist said on INA very recently that they're still brainstorming ideas for Warfare; the extended-ONS idea was one of many. AFAIK they still haven't made a decision.

How can anyone mistake that thing for the Scorpion, the new Hellbender is twice its size and has two huge gun barrels on the top!
Has anyone notice that all the Axon vehicles look like their a part of a fleet of vehicles made by only one company (unlike UT2k4)!

but thats why the Hellbender resembles the scorpion a little!
I too wonder what the Necris team vehicles & player models will look like, as long as i see some Necris Aliens & Brock look-a-likes (from UC2) i'll be happy!!
I really hope that the Necris vehicles look kick ass mean and demonic, so evil looking that it looks like it can eat you if you get run over by it!

I just noticed in the shot of the bender on the road signs in the backround it has a symbol of a raptor and a arrow pointing up....nice little touches like that really give a game a good edge.
Wasn't thinking of it like that, but it makes sense. I suppose it is better than having a bunch of vehicles that look like they were purchased on the black marketMr. UglyPants said:

Just at a glance, they've got the same basic shape. Probably more a product of expecting to see something like the 2k4 style Hellbender and seeing a bigger Scorpion instead threw me off. Not saying it's a bad decision, they just look a bit samey. The Hellbender never struck me as avehicle that should be worried about being streamlined, and I always kinda' liked the sheer red-neckness of it as a humvee with a gun in the back. Now it's a more sophisticated design more what it "should" look like as a military assault vehicle, instead of being a badass toy in a sporting event.
Take that however you want, there're pros and cons for each that I can think of, and I haven't decided on a judgement call for it yet...

You want them to change the shilouette of a raptor because it's not 100% accurate?
It's a little thing that, if you don't notice, you don't care, if you do notice, you smile a bit. Why on earth would you care enough to want them to change it?
To me the little things = Getting gameplay right.
If i understand a visual joke then i smile, i don't criticise it for it's inaccuracy to modern day appearances.
Couldn't some of it be due in part to the fact that they have probably been working on this since UT2004 was released, and thus not have even known what the new raptor would look like when they made the texture?shadow_dragon said:
Have u guys noticed that in the 6th shot the raptor is humungo? I guess they finally realized that the '04 raptor was too bite-sized
In another shot theres a sign with a manta and an arrow pointing down..I think its one of the older ones with the tank in a street.
