<div class="IPBDescription">Is it possible?</div>Organic dynamic body damage: is it possible?

Looking for info about the movie “The Thing” (one of my favorites), I found a site related to a cancelled game called REDWOOD in which they would have applied a brand new technique called “Organic body damage technology”. This technique would have allowed the models to modify their look as they receive shots.

I would like to ask (hopefully some developer could answer me please) if it would be possible to implement this in the NS2 models, especially in the Khaara. Particularly, applying this technique to the Khaara would be useful not only when they receive shots but also when they regenerate themselves. In Marines, I don’t know if this would look fine, but undoubtedly on the Alien side this would be spectacular! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/asrifle.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::asrifle::" border="0" alt="asrifle.gif" />

By the way, I would also like to know if the Khaara will have a change in their look, showing a more aggressive and terrifying style than shown on NS1 (question already made several times but never answered).

    That sounds impressive but after looking up that game I don't think much is going on with Redwood Falls currently. The game is a <a href="http://www.psu.com/PS3-exclusive-Redwood-Falls-on-hold--a005890-p0.php" target="_blank">PS3 only zombie shooter that is on hold</a>. I don't know whether it's on hold due to technical problems or the PS3's lack of popularity or the fact L4Dead is out and RE5 is coming out...

    This would be a REALLY great way of showing new marines when they're close to a kill!

    Cool idea, but I think it might a lot of work for not much reward. I'd like to see it though.

    Sounds cool. Bleeding marines and aliens leaving blood trails, that'd be AWESOME!

    Exactly! or an injured, bleeding Onos moving slowed and limping ( like in L4D ) would be AWESOME!

    Doesn't the new Splatterhouse game coming out have something like this? But to a more extreme level.

    I would totally love to see a skulk bite a marine's arm off and then get its limbs blasted off by a shotgun!

    Obviously, this would be a good thing to have. But, it falls under the category of "nice to have" rather than "need to have" so this would be low on the devs to-do list. I'm just more interested in them getting all the gameplay stuff right before they embark on aesthetics.

    I think in a fight you don't have time to look at all the beautiful stuff <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
    I like a game that is awesome way more than a game that comes with nice graphics and thats it.

    For example Z is one of my favorite Strategy Games ... too bad the developers of Z failed to recognize the value of their game and came up with the Z: Steel Soldiers crap.

    Ofcourse a game with nice graphics AND awesome gameplay mechanics is nice too, but I have no problem if I don't see how many holes I've biten into that Armor and this is a feature you really do not need for an online "shooter" game, its something for a single player game, where you can take a look and enjoy all the nice graphics, but in a multiplayer game you should be in a hurry all the time so there is no time for stuff like that.
