NS2 Build 163 - Infestation Patch Video

[BlooPanda]

Why dont you guys make something original instead of making it similar to starcraft.

[NovaAllOver]

@BlooPanda why dont you stop sittin in front of the computer lookin at homo porn all day and actually try and get a life? lol

[GigaBoost]

Very much liking the Overgrowth style changelog videos.

[NXWolf]

stop adding to the game and start fixing bugs!! we want better gameplay :) also bring back the old ns style where gorge builds chambers and the skulk can leap and the fade can blink instead of that silly teleport thing "terrible"

[NexCarnifex]

Dynamic Infestation is by far the coolest feature yet in an fps game, though are you going to make it 3-D like in that video from a long time ago? That would be ridiculously insane.

[DETNAITE]

Walking Whips... THE TRIFFIDS ARE HERE! I'mma get this game some day. And then I will refer to whips as triffids and see if I can't get this to catch on.

[Ubiquidade]

Dynamic Infestation looked better way back in 2006 :\

[numberultimate]

Really not liking the alien vision. I love the fact that you are giving them a vision mode but outline overlay without the color fill would look a thousandfold better. Right now I guess It looks.. cartoony?

[NexCarnifex]

@numberultimate I think it looks fine

[Honethite]

Almost 22,000 views ! NICE.

[Hory314]

i just jizzed in my pants!

[RUSETFB]

ITS SO CUTE!

[RUSETFB]

I love wip walk, looks pretty polished, visually.

[moneyman10k]

speed up the grenade explosion animation, looks to be growing like moss

[bradman3001]

This game looks so much like tremulous.

[DjDesoe]

is this game will support bots?

[lillbrorsan]

Some really cool changes, however the grenade launcher still looks meh

[exxmodel]

gee i hope thats just an early version of the infestation

[hiturheartx]

Creep tumors and spine crawlers? :D

[ShadowZezima]

YAY INFESTATION!

[GeDruchy]

Creep looks shit. Old infest looks great. Hope its coming back.

[GeDruchy]

Creep looks shit. Old infest looks great. Hope its coming back.

[DontWorryItsOlly]

The grenade launcher still looks bad. Make the grenade have a better blur effect because as of right now, it looks like it accidentally falls out when you shoot.

[arfarath]

I thought the dynamic infestation was something passively done by the hive and actively by gorges... commanding a structure to infest sounds wierd

[zeroticked]

WOOO patch is out :D i really wish i could play it, but alas~ My computer can't run the Beta.

[unknownworlds]

This patch is being uploaded to Steam as we speak. Look for it soon!

[TheOddball007]

@unknownworlds The music is sounding pretty sweet too bud.

[notEisiger]

1600x900 for life

[fmjr10]

@notEisiger Yes! 1600x900 master race!

[Grimreaper905]

Can't wait to see the Onos.

[dlm3ecd]

this is like starcraft 2. but more fps :D!

zerg vs marines!

[omegatotal]

looks very awesome!

[iSTALKforCASH]

The whip walking reminds me of penguins. Cute, cuddly, voracious penguins

[Skullbumble]

Good stuff.. But Grenade launcher needs some work imo

[503wakeboarder]

One small step for mankind one giant leep for Alien infestation. I hope leep work right now less crashing and for the love of god aliens re-spawn losing all your plasma going to rr was getting very old. I blame Huge for the delay with his distractions I plan on taking it out on him in game Again! I bet my hard earned cash on this game and would not change a thing enjoying the ride and chomping at the bit to play 163 #156 for the win.

[AmorphousBlob2]

At about 0:26, the armory's model changes for a second and then changes back. Does anyone know what's happening there?

[Jedibling]

@AmorphousBlob2 Probably some bug, the game isn't perfect.. yet

[c0d3m45t3r]

this is so brilliant. I wonder was Starcraft and more specifically the Zerg in any way inspiration for this design choice - its very awesome btw-

[Runteh]

@c0d3m45t3r

I think the Alien films as well as games like Starcraft have been a big inspiration for UWE.

[ArsNG909]

Infestation is about awesome.

[minckaful]

Grenade launcher reload still looks a bit weird. Like the grenade has no weight. It kind of just gets sucked in there without being pushed in.

[Gnarpig]

Looking pretty sc2 like, I like it though

[Coolcookiecooks]

Wow that looks really amazing! Looking so forward to seeing this patch released :)

[TheRealFlayra]

Thanks for the comments everyone! I'll try to speak up next time - everyone else was working around me and I was trying not to bother them. But the video is more important. :)

[spida1989]

Wow the game looks so much better already

[starbuckxks]

one negative thing i have to say is, when the "creep" or Infestation expands, it should look like when the creep in SC2 expands. now it just looks like it slowly maximizes, like if i zoom in a picture, it keeps the same constancy. but this is beta and i would expect something much better on the final version :)

[GrandHighGamer]

@starbuckxks Heres to hoping that the final effect looks as cool as the prototype they did on the Source engine.

[starbuckxks]

@GrandHighGamer Would have written that if i just remembered it! now that was awesome!

[chipmastermorris]

@starbuckxks he did say the visuals were temporary, but the focus was on how it works within the game

[RagnaroekChaos]

Everything is awsome. Maybe instead of the commander placing DI-patches, the DI slowly expands all by itself in all directions BUT the commander can set the direction the DI expands to primarily.

Any feedback?

[wiz7890]

Way to go Unknown Worlds :) All that hard work making your own engine has payed off... one word... Brilliant. After watching this video hopefully it'll get more people to buy the game to support them more. It has come a LONG way since alpha. I'm so stoked.

[mystrdat]

Sweetness in motion.

[mickeydubbeldekkers]

this convinced me to buy the game.

[ffh8666]

The new alien view mode is so cool

[squashen]

wow!

[Squiffywren]

This is it...what we've been aiming towards. Let the fun begin :-)

[DamnItsAme]

oh god, this is too good to be true

[Pheeze]

Looks great! The whip walking is so cute somehow.

[cikame]

Great video, good to see work progressing on the dynamic infestation, will be cool seeing a more graphically impressive version climbing up walls etc...

I don't like machine gun sound loops, i prefer counter strike or cod style 1 repeated gunshot sound, Homefront has the same problem only worse.

To anyone afraid for Gorges build anywhere ability, they still can, just gota lay the soil before they plant the garden :D

[UntrustedSource]

Love these videos. Keep making them!

[wingman123]

Charlie, you need to speak up and more clearly. It sounded like you were falling asleep!

[derWalter]

@wingman123 i think he WAS

[DrLouisCardinal]

gentlemen the game has arrived.

[aeroripper]

Love the alien flashlight sounds

[0815tobey]

Doesnt it all get too complicated??? Remember that also kiddies play this game.

[Spart4n1z1]

@0815tobey It'll be a sad day if UWE dumbs down the game for "kiddies."

[0815tobey]

@Spart4n1z1

I only dont mean kiddies, but also those ppl who are a bit slow in thinking. (i wrote a bit wrong)

This is the main reason why i stopped playing NS, and this is also the main reason im not buying this game yet! If things are too complex, then they dont know what to do or how to do it.

[MeatMaggot]

@0815tobey Well, it's meant to be a bit more complex than your average killstreak funhouse. On the other hand, nobody forces you to play as a commander. Just take your orders, buy your equipment and go get some. It's as simple as it gets, as long as you stick to your team and task.

[0815tobey]

@MeatMaggot

I have no problem with complex things, but others! It was annoying when you had someone noob commanding or even just teammates that didnt know how to. And now its getting more complex.

[MeatMaggot]

@0815tobey "Complex" doesn't equal "complicated". NS1 got a tad confusing in later builds, but this stuff here is very tidy and comprehensible so far.

[Shilorius]

@0815tobey

Bollocks to that!

...or explain em how the game works ;-)

[S31Syntax]

Wow! looks like I pre-ordered at the right time! I can't wait for the full implementation of the Infestation mechanic!

[PersianImm0rtal]

No decals?

[PersianImm0rtal]

So awesome, whats next on the to do list?

[Mrme700]

i just want the game to stop crashing :|

[brownymaster]

spine crawler!!!

[alansonit]

THATS SICK!

[JaMrulezass]

YOUUU DOUBLE YOUU EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

[GoEKniGhtofNi]

great work! Can't wait for it.

[pon0pat]

As always it is great to see what you have done, also this time the video is so much better then the last one. Do not know if you changed it this way based on my post on moddb, but nearly everything now is like I have wished. Just the background music is too loud or youre voice is to silent. Also I think a good ending would be a 15-30 seconds video of you while you say something about the main focus for the next beta. Will give the video more personality and tease a bit for the next beta.

[buffbuddha]

Wow.

[deoFusion]

this is fucking awesome guys!

[Neurotoxins]

This is so exciting!

I'm looking forward to this like no one's business.

[mills4545]

I can't freakin' wait any longer! GAhhhh.
