Natural Selection 2 Harvester

[PikminInvader]

how did i know one of the highest rated comments would be relating it to a penis... IT DOSNT LOOK REMOTLY LIKE A PENIS!!!

[imalethalweapone]

Now that looks weird !

[mystrdat]

This just all sounds so good.

[beksta]

Because u are all so well versed in alien life forms, being alien experts and all. Yep...

[foto101]

It looks too clean. Like someone took a rag and some 409 to it. A living alien structure should be oozing or something...

[Delofox]

Practically, it's too lop-sided and should be more central over the vent. The death animation is a clipping nightmare. Cosmetically, it's too clean and colorful.

[vandammerules87]

looks like a smelly big black cock

[fergus247]

Imagine a dark room with the flashes of light from the machine guns, and then an "angry" resource tower being shot at. Possibly screaming somewhat and moving violently around. That would be really cool

[darcflame37]

description...O.O

!! r yu serial? thats awsome! fps with tech tree? and builds? dang.. :)

that is just like C & C Renegade and Halo CE. not many games like this.

needs to make a browser based & PC version

[TerraGamerX]

Hmm, that death animation seemed like it implied finite resources, nothing left to pump. If it were killed, it should explode a little considering that appearance. Unless there's a way to sever its link to the hive in concept.

[maisteri]

I'm not too excited about this particular model...

[juice797]

Music on this vid reminds me of METROID, sweet!

[liquidignition]

the top bulb looks too clean and tidy (compared to the skulk and onos video). might i suggest roughening it up a bit?

on the other hand, the animation is awesome. try making the bulb swell when it takes in a gulp of resources though (bit more realistic)

you guys are doing a sick job at it.

please keep posting more stuff...

its exciting.

[lvldsnr]

was going to write the same, the bulb it's too spherical.

[fergus247]

It doesn't look like a healthy organism. It makes no sense the strength it spends on lifting itself up. And staying in that position. It should be lying along the floor just sucking up the nutricious delicuous res.

And of course when shot it would move violently and angrily around, pummeling or damaging any marine that accidently gets hit. Every organism will try and get comfortable, and every organism should defend itself when threatened.

[fergus247]

The resouce tower would moan and twitch and... Killing them shouldnt be a pretty sight, it is a living organism of significant size after all ;)

[da1krayziethug]

@fergus247 completely agree

[LucianHalo]

can't wait to play!!

[ipoopwithmybutt]

the model itself looks great...

the decrease in size of the bulb when it dies is a great touch...

hopefully there is some DI on the node itself... when alien models are added to steel or other surfaces, and there is no residue or growth... it looks like it's plopped down...

especially now that this 'harvester' looks like a freaking parasite (awesome), i feel it's important to have some DI or fluid coming from the base... so it doesn't look so out of place...

great models as usual

[soiled]

wow...amazing again. just from these test vids I so pumped for this game... its going to be stellar.

[xervaso]

Perfect man... better is impossible!!!

[1nfinitezer0]

do the new resource rats create infestation around them? where does all the grey goo go? how does the hive assimilate the resources? do they outgas as usable biocompounds? so many questions!!!

looks sweet though, can you make me any more excited?

[dbddbddbz]

i wonder what they other chambers are gonna look like and if there's gonna be any new ones

[badtrip712]

The music is awesome!

[kaneforrester]

Im not sure if its the lighitng but the yellow ball looks incredibly out of place.

May be the specular but if not I suggest toning it down otherwise will only look right in dark lighting conditions.

[bornburied]

@kaneforrester plus it looks like some 90's collectible resin dragon cheeeeeeeeeezzzzzeeeee!!

[metallicusjd]

@kaneforrester the reason it is such a bright color is because usually key objects in game need some sort of distinction over other less important objects.. this will make it easier for marines to spot the tower and take it down..



[kaneforrester]

@metallicusjd I fully understand that concept, but where do you draw the line between visibility and breaking the art style? I'm saying the visibility on the yellow ball is a bit OTT. Not suggesting they make it a dull colour and hard to spot.

[Rksager]

To those who's thinking about giant dicks when they see this:

You're fucking gay!!!

It looks nothing like a dick!

It looks kewl!

[DY357LX]

Looks good! I kept expecting it to stand-up or straighten itself out a little.

[SexyMelon]

Delicious. <3

[4nimol]

looks perfect to me, I would love to see the bulb burst upon death tho for some alien gore

[diegopabst]

@4nimol *SPLAT*

Yeah, think that would be cool

[lillbrorsan]

I just came in my pants, that is awesome!

[PortfolioManager1987]

Is anyone like me?

I am slightly (normal, like anyone else) squeamish in how the bulb of "penis head" of this thing moves in and out.

I have a physiological reaction to its pulsating that makes me anxious for some reason, almost wishing to look away.

Maybe I'm just leet.

[darkheadshot]

<-- gizzes pants

[Poijka]

Looks freaky, but still good.

[heroman117]

The first thing i expect to hear peaple saying when the alpha finally comes out is "wtf is with the giant dick?"

[rtv05]

@epicwarding

So your dick looks like this?

I guess you need a doctor!

[rtv05]

hehe sweet, im glad it has no shining paranoia eye XD

I can´t wait for the alpha =)

[tof9]

Haha it looks awesome. Did it just die at the end?

[Phonomanz]

@tof9 ye

[SgtHydra]

Kinda looks like the Temple of Nod from Command and Conquer...

WHICH MAKES IT ALL THE MORE AWESOME!

[vinkeveen2]

Its looks like a Giant Alien Penis.!!

XD XD

[furzlappen]

@vinkeveen2 like a big gieng penis ;D

[dja9891721]

@vinkeveen2 lololololoolool

[andersblabla]

@vinkeveen2 what penises are you looking at. Ugh

[vonFelsenheim]

@andersblabla Giant alien ones.

[bornburied]

@andersblabla Why are you looking at penises??

[BlitZWTF]

@vinkeveen2

You think about that kind of thing?

[radonas]

@vinkeveen2 if your penis looks like that i recommemd going to a doctor 0.o.

[IjustonlysayXD]

@vinkeveen2 the HIVE looks like a giant alien penis!!!!

[maxproxyDotTK]

@vinkeveen2 you wish

[Terminus570]

Very cool. The sack reminds me of some sort of tropical frog.

[FarazParsa]

How gloriously disgusting!

[epicwarding]

If they dont change it, when people are playing ns2 for first time, they wills tart to call them dicks- you plant dicks on the ground, thats how it looks like, a dick . lol

[TheBluePooper]

@epicwarding is that what your dick looks like? :S

[Thundercloud007]

Nice to see something very different on the Kharaa side for once.

It would be interesting to see it upgraded to bash passing marines. Perhaps the parallel to electrified marine RTs?

[Weazell]

@Thundercloud007 Instead, I think we should pretend electrification never existed haha

[S0up3rD0up3r]

awesome! when will the lerk and fade videos be out?

[smeatsan]

Nice...I love it! :)

[JarethLoC]

First O.o
