Pete Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 The official UFO Aftershock website now has four new wallpapers up for you to look at. One of the screens seems to have some kind of small, non-Reticulan craft/drone taking off, whilst another shows some engineers fiddling in a chair with a soldier sitting in it which might be some kind of defense system. That's not all that's cool though... Demo - Wargot Info and more! The Aftershock demo holds a few more secrets that haven't been spotted elsewhere yet - run the credits and you'll find the credits for the voice acting. One entry is "Wargot Pontifex". A Pontifex, as described at Dictionary.com, is "A man on the highest council of priests in ancient Rome." It is therefore possible that the Wargots, though sounding vicious in name, have some kind of leadership structure similar to that of early Romans, and indeed have different castes, such as warriors and priests. That's not the only cool thing in the credits though - myself, Slaughter, Thornodor and PlacidDragon all got a mention too - as well as all the fans out there who have given their input and support! Cool or what?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preda Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 arghhh whilst another shows some engineers fiddling in a chair with a soldier sitting in it which might be some kind of defense system. It's a bloody projector in the laputa control room. Don't you recognize Reti-tek when you see it. I seriosly doubt the existence of any other rce of aliens in Aftershock. You of all people should know that it would ruin the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted October 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Why strap a soldier into a projector? Would he really require medium body armour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezed Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Lol :)Maybe he distrust those technicians? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matri Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Well of course not! Knowing those guys, do you really want to sit there in anything less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preda Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Why strap a soldier into a projector? Would he really require medium body armour? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> *Slaps the facemask* They are repairing it, he's not strapped in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Looks like they're having a good old chat to me Perhaps he's just having a rest as Reticulans don't seem to have chairs on their spacecraft, and maybe not on their space stations either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rezed Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Maybe a flight sim? training for intercepts in UFO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preda Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Maybe a flight sim? training for intercepts in UFO 3 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was just going to ask. If there won't be any interceptions, how will UFO's be handled in AS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriptor Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 I did't find any clues of interceptions yet.But the wargots will attack the laputa, and there will be a "new model spaceship".And maybe the starghosts are an another alien race.

Rezed Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 There will be only ufos which landed/crashed. Ther are missions with them, one of such missions is playable in the demo. Ufos are no longer a seperate level,like in AM, but (just like in X-com) a part of the map, with a series of teleports to navigate through the interior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Yeah, the teleporters in the demo looked cool. You'd have to send a Cyborg in first though orsomeone in some serious armour as you can only go through one at a time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
