@RMJ1984 In a recent interview the developer stated that the current infestation is only a prototype and that they fully intend for the finished product to look as good as this. Here's hoping they stay true to their word.
Apparently, this "NEW" engine of their seem to fuck more shit up rather than working properly. It is Summer 2010 and guess what? no Dynamic infestation in sight...
What we getting instead is bad textures, bad lighting, bad animations, retard designs, retard game mechanics, incompatable engine, laggy engine, choppy frame rates...and much more!
oh btw, that dynamic lighting they promised..where fuck is it? everything is still dark as a pit even though the light bulb are as huge as a table!

@akira357 Dynamic lights are working fine doesn't matter how big the light is its all in the setting of it the engine didn't lag for me and besides that its still Pre-Alpha as far as dynamic infestation it should be easier for them to put in the game being that they made the engine.
I don't understand where this would fit in games O_o ..at least in games like Half Life where the player moves faster than some mold grows.. Much more cooler is realistic snow what NoBoDy have EvEr made.. there's snow only in ground, snowing in air and slippery snow but not like thousand different types of snows and snow what melts to water and frozes again or something like that O_o It would be cool if Valve tries to do that but it's probably too hard and home computers aren't good enough yet
Common misconception. This was on a very early version of Max's engine (before it became Spark), which supported .bsp map files, like HL and HL2 uses.

I really hope NS2 doesn't become a Duke Nukem Forever. Surely we can see just a little more content than this year old video. If they are truly working on something new and great, then wonderful. If not, then they should have just worked with Valve to make NS:Source. NS1 was perfectly fine had some key bugs and issues that were probably due to lack of effort and engine limitations.
i really miss those endelss battles 2 hives kahara fighting top level marines on subspace array on 1.08... that fun was never archived with newer versions...
fun was killed when trying to get the game dumber so people with no respect to the game play start playing it... sad...
leet did not much for the game to grow but at least was FUN...
They've made their own engine, called the evolution Engine (at the moment). They recently showed off their lighting system, and it looks great. Also note this video was made nearly 2 years ago
guess listening isnt your strong point, the voice over stated the actual map is a standard HL2 level. you know what, dont buy the game, less morons on the servers
It is Natural Selection 2 - it's the sequal to the original Natural Selection, this time fro the Half Life 2 source engine where the original was for Half Life 1.
I have to say, this particular video is not very encouraging. You guys aired this years ago. Why are you emailing this to us now?
to be fair this was just a reminder in the context of the email, the real new stuff is in the next couple of paragraphs. bunch of whiny bitches up in this page
Uhm, they have a problem or more than one problem.
* It its randomly created huh? Then the growth would be different from each player I presume as the ragdolls in HL2.
Imagine a whole room of this bacteria shit, players will have Hull, which will interact with the world and if all players were to go on the bacteria which is randomly created, it would create enourmus lag...
I really doubt it is random in any sense that affects the game- ie the infestation will be in certain places (for alien ability purposes or whatever) but the actual rendering of it appearing will be randomly generated. There will probably be some HUD or sound effect indication when you are standing in an infested area, lights will be shut off, etc.
I just hope they don't ruin the gameplay. I feel that the gameplay was incredible in the early days but has steadily gone downhill.
Yeah, he says "section" instead of "select tion". At first I thought it was not Flayra because I heard his voice during an NS game before but apparently it is and I am surprised that he pronounced selection wrong.
They're eventually going to bring this back right?

It's not the Source Engine. The NS 2 team decided to make NS 2 a stand-alone game. It is now using an engine made by the NS 2 team.

wrong, this was done on the source engine. this was made a long time before they decided to make their own engine. he even says its done on HL2 maps.

It's a real shame they always seem to be making this game on technology which already looks outdated.
Get some funding to get an engine that won't make your game an immediate underdog.
I really see you guys shooting yourself in the foot with this dated tech.
Really you should be competing with DOW2 And Starcraft2 visuals.

Why email everyone a 2 year old video? Unless it represents what the engine can do, in it's glory, today?

I think the emails main purpose was to inform people about the new videocast, which shows off Max's brilliant new lighting system.
I guess they added a link to this video to show uninformed people what they were talking about when they mentioned 'infestation'.
