NS2 Lerk "reveal"

[wolfbane173]

Isn't this game also a physics which makes it slightly realistic but still fun.

[light00128]

can they still bite? watching some videos no lerk ever has a bite kill..

[ssj17gogeta111]

@light00128 They could bite in NS 1, so they should be able to bite in ns 2

[dedaF86]

DOMINATED

[i3i2ian]

guys. this game is gonna change fps forever

[filch2lobster]

@i3i2ian it already did, play the original

[MaxRideWizardLord]

"When Games were Games" I love this way of making games, not gay retarded fucking shit with only freaking homosexual fire arms weapons such as Moron Warfail 2 and other modern shit that's does not makes you happy after playing. Can't wait NS2 is out, I hope they will not ruin and break the game for begin too "realistic".

[robiniroven]

who said it wasnt realistic? i mean what game is? every game got something that is unrealistic so yeah suck on that nubs

[Drebin416]

Very Stukabaty, awesome.

[elronman]

love how they both didnt hear the bird

[Jackalofdeath]

[0kazaki]

[omgLordLituslol]

@CerenPL like a scorpian?

[mystikraven]

@CerenPL I would seriously hope not

[oratadin]

[grass4life]

u know why i preordered 40bug version month ago

1. i play ns for years and its for free THANKS!

2. there will be no ns3 in the next years

3. black Marine LOL

[TuTLook]

Woohoo! Spikes!

Sniper Lerk FTW

[0815tobey]

@TuTLook

He´s back, yeah ;-)

[Bleenderhead]

The animation really sucks.

[F2Y]

Lerk spike back into the game? Oh you guys and your teasing trailers.

[xxxx59xxxx]

those head things are way too high in comparison to the player model

[GrandHighGamer]

the game has the camera in the player's mouths

[JustAnotherGaian]

Their height is dependent on the user. You can fly high or fly low, if you haven't played NS1.

[ou7blaze]

AWESOME.

[teunybc]

boooo!! i hate the turkey-lerk... couldn't you guys come up with something cooler :s... very dissapointing

[heroman117]

Lerk is sooo cute! can't wait for ns2

[pr0stAta]

this game is going to be awesome

[G0DVL]

"Xenophorms spotted", and then the lerk rushed.

I love seing thoses videos. :D

[kcargh]

The turkey lerk is a bit disapointing i must say : (

[Vlad788]

Wow, this lerk looks so much better than the one in NS2, its actually really cute!, ^_^ , I love it, cuter than the gorge, haha. Looking forward to this game!! :D. I hope it comes out this summer or at least the beta version comes out by then...

[grass4life]

[grass4life]

[lordmarcus1st]

GAS spam!

[rorstar83]

[pIECE0FcAKE]

What the fuck is this turkey shit Flayra.

"Run a scam. Buy buttplugs and milkjugs "

[LucianHalo]

Wow.. .Bravo :)

[HatlabuFarkas]

not bad, the FADE is never comes out :( :( i am sad.

[Anddos25]

Why would they need more money if they have the tool's already to build the game?,if there asking for preorder's what will they spend the money on to complete this game??????

[chris52886]

@Anddos25

Overhead obviously.

[WadaHolic]

Paying themselves so they're not being your bitch?

[JLSdu22]

It Looks Like Doom3 Graphics :D !

[STPNewsRoom]

I tell thee, if an Alien mod comes out for this game, I will jizz in my pants.

[Entharion]

People, don't feed the trolls..

[hybridnation]

from what i see in the comments, no one has no idea what NS is like.

[hl2ep3]

sad but so.

[matrixkbh1987]

it's a fucking game. stop complaining.... It doesn't have to be realistic.....

I find this game cool from what iv seen so fare...

[swizecheeze]

@matrixkbh1987 cool? this game is cool? no no no its not cool.... ITS OVER 900000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­0!!!!!!

[nesten1]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­e yayyyyy

[F4c2a]

Fuck you yoboops & Misc4Lyfe. Get out of my Lerk preview you cheap bastards. I pre-ordered NS2 because I played NS1 for free - I don't even give a damn if NS2 comes out or no - I've got my moneys worth.

"how can an alien have instant regenerating spikes" YEAH MAN, THAT'S LIKE IMPOSSIBLE, MAN, AND, AND, ALIENS DON'T EVEN LIKE EXIST, MAN, SO, SO, THIS GAME IS STUPID, YEAH.

[yoboops]

@Misc4Lyfe

Dude, fucking right? I told people this day one after the pre-orders started. I cant believe so many people put their faith in another person (as in people suck).

[SLEAZY808]

This game is not on shitty consoles (Except the PS3) and that was in-game.

[SexyMelon]

That is the most idiotic excuse to wail on a game I've ever heard.

Obviously in-game footage means the game will never come out. What the hell?

[zeviousman]

Great video, It doesn't jive with the article. Why would a medium range lerk come within knife range? Bring back the bite.

[moneyman10k]

meh, the most fun I had in ns was with the biting lerk

weak flying sniper is not interesting

[asdh69]

SPIKES return :p

[PlasmicRedX]

awesome I can't wait for NS2 :)

and lol at the cute robot at 0:14

[ukAdamR]

nice

[TheTwistedOne1]

FUCK YES! He looks awesome. And I wonder if that robot is just for atmosphere or if he's part of the marines.

[ctdau]

It's part of the marine team. Welder/builder.

[ayumbre]

cool , lerk spikes r back !!!

that looks like some kind of mutant condor lol still beautiful

[Grdnstwrt]

I'm so happy right now.

[Anddos25]

why preorder when it's not complete?

[PsychoticPolska]

@Anddos25 to help the indie developer eat some food while they develop :P. You are not forced to do it, but if you believe in the product/dev team, go for it.

[DjDTMProductions]

@Anddos25 because independent game developers need money too.

[DonF72]

@Anddos25 You are EXACTLY right Anddos25, Take a look at what Cryptic Studios did to its subscribers when it offered Lifetime subscription options. Don't pay for something you haven't beta tested yourself. I encourage people to not be fanboys, because those are the preliminary suckers.

[ShiniYokai]

@DonF72 Yet in irony you've probably preordered a ton of games made by EA and other big publishers without ever playing the game. Talk about double standards.

Preorder the game if you enjoyed NS1 and want to support a small team of developers who don't really have much of a budget beyond what they get from the community that enjoys their games.

[DonF72]

What do you mean double standards? I haven't Pre-ordered ANY game, ever. I apologize for choosing Skepticism over Fanboyism.

[Seker0ne]

because you get

A level editor and all other tools

alpha/beta

the game will be highly moddable so lots of other mods aswell

and the game and its only 20$ ?

[GrandHighGamer]

Clearly you've missed the concept of a pre-order. It gives the developers more money to finance building the game. I wasn't aware you could really pre-order games that were complete?

[mrmaple]

Holy Crap that was beautiful.

[Scary88]

"Xenomorph spotted!" :D

[blisstonia]

@Scary88 xenoform*

[bybasina]

GJ ! :)

[Supernorn]

you guys are picky fucks. @botelhoru the lighting and shadowing system is done dynamically in real-time, so yeah. I am not entirely sure what to tell you.

[CoffeeSquid]

:D Lerk was my favourite in NS1. Not sure whether I like the new model or not, though.

[botelhorui]

shadows are not verywell done. you can see at 0:37 that the shadow is a little away from the marine

[Cowcow211]

@botelhorui Is this not because the Marine has lifted his foot? its all conjecture as the animation is not clear.

[ortzinator]

@botelhorui that is easily fixed

[Muhnay]

These Aliens look horrible. Not scary at all.

[Kalabalana]

hmmm, I'm not completely 100% on the animations. Looks unpolished.

[Primajin]

nice! I already long for my black marine armor...

[Imzdrei]

I <3 Lerk

[deathtap]

I demand that you release this game this instant.

[29jumpstreet]

0:15 What is this? Are there builder drones now or what?

NS2 will rock! I totally love the modelling and animations. Super great job!

[pantzman]

Welding/repair bot controlled by commander maybe?

[bobneonz]

I could watch @0:30 to @0:40 all day!

[S0up3rD0up3r]

....

...AWESOME!

[Faith7No7More7]

As cool as this reveal is, and it looks awesome seeing things in action, I was hoping to see a more menacing design for the head. It looks too much like a bird's head imo. The concept art drawing on the ns1 page I like best.

[oderac]

bovine eyes

[Alignn]

I wonder if it means something that it hovers for a second or two with ease, or if that's just from being made with the cinematic editor.

[ezjamin]

Boom! Headshot!

[XtOfje]

This looks very sexy...

[manhaltdiefresse]

nice, marine animations look great too

[rammaj85]

beautiful as allways.

spikes are back! nice

[tosxpert]

Fyi to all the newfags, lerks originally had spike as their primary weapon in ns1.

[IKLIPTIC]

@tosxpert you are correct now all they have to do to make me go apeshit is bring back my damn babblers and the original blink for the fade!!!

[tosxpert]

beautiful animation but the lerk model is a bit... not intimidating. It looks like one of those annoying birds.

[P5ych00]

@tosxpert they always looked like non-intimidating annoying birds lol... cause in game they're just little bitches that piss you off haha, i find they're more for support

[d00sh3]

i noticed you guys aren't using the dynamic infestation animation thing at the end of the videos anymore..

makes me wonder if it really is getting cut or not..

[XtOfje]

I hope it will be implemented... we'll see.

[Dimeinurear]

What was that floating robot? Just an environmental NPC? Or some kind of resource gatherer?

[PseudoKnight]

A commander controlled unit for building structures, among other tasks.

[Fermion5]

i just jizzed my pants

[rtv05]

i only hatet he flying scene because its like hover but its just the video, i love it.

[ipoopwithmybutt]

bite feels so much more appropriate than shooting bb pellets from point blank...

that's retarded

model wise, beautiful... gorgeous... fits in with the rest...

BUT ONCE AGAIN - PUT LERK BITE BACK IN... NOTHING IS MORE BORING AND UNINTERESTING THAN SITTING BACK AND CLICKING/VOMITTING LERK SPIKES... MY GOD

[TerraGamerX]

To me it looked like it that flight path was to do damage by doing some kind of fly-by-swipe, in a concept similar to how the past Leap does damage. (though I haven't stopped by the blog yet, in case I'm missing a recent direct statement)

[AndrigeEU]

@TerraGamerX It's a spike that hits the marine in the head at the end of the video. Just freeze frame and he has a spike planted in his frontal lobe :p

[kahdeksan]

looks cool but can it hovar without flapping

[d1oftwins]

Excuse me, but how the hell should it be able to hover without permanently flapping. Yaaaah, a durable fart would do it, not? I mean it would look weird because it wouldn't seem to be physically correct, and therefore unnatural.

[0kazaki]

@d1oftwins

roflt tell me where and when he hovered lol ... stupid coments....

[d1oftwins]

@0kazaki

The lerk hovered at about 0:33-0:36. Or didn't we see the same video, did we?

[0kazaki]

do you even know what hovering means LOL? he is flaping his wings rofl....

[d1oftwins]

@0kazaki

To hover: stay midair at a fixed point. It has nothing to do with flapping the lerks wings or not or any moving parts of the hovering object.

[Phatency]

"To hover means to stay in the same position in the air without moving forwards or backwards. Many birds and insects can hover by moving their wings very quickly." -Collins Dictionary

[Poijka]

Lovely!

[nash0035]

Lerk spikes, hooray!

protop: lerk b-lining into two marines equals dead lerk.

[chuckdiesel]

I prefer the original lerk. Not saying this one is bad, but just prefer the old one.

[max30242]

Can't wait, Looks really good

[coolguymcgeee]

Are you serious? this is like the best thing i have ever seen. You guys just keep getting better every week.

[xzero001]

THe model and animation are quite good.. excellent i would say..

cmon guys just get this damn game out! look at all the money sega did with AvP and we all know NS is way better than that!

[LLJKotaru]

I would rather have a pretty polished game then have them rush it out for those among us without any patience. Sega has HUGE coffers, and a much larger team than unknown worlds with its 6-7 employees. That is an apples to oranges comparison. Relax. If you can't wait for the jacuzzi to warm up then deal with cold water.

[xzero001]

wise words my friend you even convinced me.. lets give them all the time they need, we'll get the game anyways and it will be better!

[BolyHoner]

Those marines get a situational awareness rating of 0 lol. Looks awesome though mega badass, can't wait for alpha xD

[xXpezcoolXx]

oh wow! I really want to play that game! First one was awesome! The second will be even more

[soiled]

looks so damn cool.

can't wait, but waiting patiently!
