Michal Dolezal, managing developer at Chaos Concept, sent over 3 new UFO:Extraterrestrials screenshots for us to enjoy. The first one shows a couple of Sneakers caught in an unfortunate situation. The second shows the 3rd largest two floor alien vessel in the game called a Battlecruiser. The last one shows an unfortunate lone soldier facing several sorts of aliens in the underground. You can read more about UFO:Extraterrestrials in our UFO:Extraterrestrials section as well as at the official site.

Yes, the portraits look like crap. The soldiers look like they're sprites, too, rather than 3D models.

I doubt the portraits in the finished game will look like that, somehow.
Got some nice ED-209 action going on. Fingers crossed on this one. -------------------- Whooooo wants some WANG!?

Oh, how cute- they included a miniature ED-209 from Robocop (1st pic, top centerish).

Hehe, and there's some familiar Snakemen, but is anyone going to argue?
Oh, and Archlight - welcome to the boards (though your join date suggests you've been quietly watching from the shadows -------------------- |

Sunglasses, cool isn't it?
Anyhow, thanks for the update on this, Slaughter! - Zombie -------------------- QUOTE(JellyfishGreen) Zombie: Empirical data's your only man, when formulating a research plan. A soldier's death is never in vain if it makes the formula more plain. A few dozen make a better case for refining that third decimal place. They call me Zombie because I don't sleep, as I slowly struggle to climb this heap, of corpses, data points, and trials, but from the top - I'll see for miles! |

Hi!
I remember watching a demo for the game called Z. A few soldier flew in a transport ship into a mission.They were listenning loud rock'n roll,drinking some kind of a space drink and smoking a cigar. However it isn't that case.The object the soldier wears on his face that you consider to by sunglesses isn't sunglasses at all.It is a display of the Integrated combat management system that provides information about other troopers,enemies and about state of weapon.Controlling of the dispaly depends on movement of eyes.Duplex communication from display to computer is wireless. |
