Elite Force 2 Shots

Looks like bland corporate product.

Ritual is doing this one? Sweet. I'm not completely sure who's there right now, Jim Dose left for id, and some assorted people were going to random companies.... is our main man Pat Hook still there?

Some of the shots look kinda cool. I really liked this one:

But then I realize, even though that monster looks pretty cool, there's no way it's going to move like a real monsters might. I've yet to see a Q3 Engine game with realistic movement code... Jedi-Knight 2 is probably the game closest to come to decent movement code, and even after a while, you start to notice how the player models look like one solid chunk of pre-modelled geometry, and not a body with components that move independantly... and this is with Ghoul technology. JK2 did a decent job with model movement, don't get me wrong, but it's still a long way from perfect.

So, I'm looking at that screenshot, and I'm thinking "Whoa! That thing looks tight!", but then I realize it's probably just one solid piece of pre-modeled geometry... and how, when it turns, it's not going to look like a real alien... it's gonna look like some geometry being rotated around the Y-axis. :( Its tail won't slither along the floor, or if it's coming down some stairs, its tail will simply clip through a the stairs, instead of resting on them.

Maybe it's a limitation with technology... but I'd really like to see some games with better model geometry.

is it Q3 Engine?

i REALLY liked the first one, so hopefully this will provide some entertainment :)

The first one was gorgeous but short. I recall finishing that game in like a work-week of late nights.

I like Raven a lot, but I can't help feel a little like they are turning into a 'game factory' as opposed to a top-shelf FPS game development house.

For example, I really enjoy SoF2 multiplayer ... but I've only played about five minutes of single player. It has such a been-there, done that kind of feeling.

is there any possible excuse for that looking so much like OpFor? i thought not

I hope your squadmates don't always just stand around like that when you've got a knee-level space critter scrambling towards your crotch :o

Looks like Elite Force 1 with more detailed models

By looking at the pictures. I get the feeling of Half-Life meets Star Trek.

Ok wierd perspective stuff going on in that second new shot.

THE SHIP CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE CAPTAIN!

It looks like L33T Force 1, but then I guess that's the point.

Ugly. Maybe. SWEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
