Eternal Silence 'Monster Update'

Postby ad_hominem on Sat Jan 10, 2009 2:57 pm

The team behind the popular multiplayer space mod Eternal Silence have posted what they're calling a 'Monster Update'. Included in it is a large gallery showing one of their new maps (named Battle of Cerbera) in action, totalling 39 screenshots. You can find the full gallery here.

As well as these screenshots, the team are showing off some new cockpit designs, and a new character model in the shape of the UTF Marine.

I like the UTF marine models and cockpits.

I remember playing this mod when the first beta released, it definitely has the potential to become as popular as Dystopia and Insurgency. The gameplay was a bit unbalanced when I played, but that was many beta releases ago.

This mod, however, isn't entirely my forte. If anything futuristic, I'd play Dystopia and Neotokyo (once it releases).

I don' t like the cockpits. Looks like they are animated screen overlays, which look way too unrealistic, and contrasts a lot with the 3D stuff. In addition, if you look at the passenger list on the first screenshot, the overlay covers it.

Would be much cooler if they had an actual 3D cockpit, but I guess that would hurt performance for those who don't have good computers.

That's why they're designs, not actually in game :D It's stated in the update that they're going to be made 3d:
I like the look of these and I can't wait to have them 3D-ized.
