Interview with T:V art director

[dick longfellow offline]

Just thought some of you guys might want to take a look at this, if you haven't already.

Uh oh "Game-wise, jetpacking is quite a different experience compared to older tribes games.."

I hope it's not too different.

[dick longfellow offline]

Yeah, I hear you. Not only did the jetting in T2 have perfect physics that added to the gameplay, but I also had mastered jetting. I could land on the head of a dime from 300m in the air.

I also seriously hope that they fix the figging spinfusor, I mean LOOK at it:

IT'S SIDEWAYS!

You can water ski in T2!
My neato grapple with high density water and *poof* T2 Meets *insert water ski game here*

[dick longfellow offline]

I dont think thats the spinfusor... they have a different, complete model for the spinfusor being used in the trailer movies. I think that weapon is some sort of pulse rifle.

[Lt Earthworm offline]

No, its the spinfusor. If you've followed the screenshots, its gone through maybe 3-5 different forms.

[dick longfellow offline]

Really? I liked the other model better, especially since it was turned the right way. It also looked like a good interpretation of "early-on" spinfusors. It will be weird to hit stuff with the spinfusor turned sideways. I might just have to do a little rotating on that image if I ever get to modding in T:V.

I can't even tell which way the disk is turned in the picture. Is it flat, like it is in T2, or is it turned on its side to fit the gun?

[dick longfellow offline]

I think this is what it looks like when you're holding it. It doesnt look that bad.

[starstriker1 offline]

That is a freakishly old screenshot.



And the disk is, indeed, sideways. Only right off the bat were they experimenting with a vertical disk... they scrapped that right away.

Waterskiing?

I will have FUN in T:V.

[Dark_Harlequin offline]

SS is right about the spinfusor... and as for the waterskiing... i can't believe you guys didn't hear about that! Makes some sort of sense that hitting the water at the right angle that you should skip like a stone or something.
