Cheer up, Gorge. We still love you even if your nose is big. The NS devs have continued their media blitz in the leadup to PAX with three dev blog updates in the past week. Cast your eyes upon this ordered list:

1. Infantry Portal Reveal
2. Modding Q&A
3. Gorge Reveal

Hopefully it what this is all leading up to is some actual gameplay footage at PAX. Maybe we’ll even get our hands on the alpha soon. Maybe Barack Obama will descend from the skies on a surfboard and personally deliver it to AusNS2 HQ. Stay tuned. But not really because that won’t actually happen.

Megalist updates! As always the full megalist is available here.

Who the hell do these NS2 devs think they are? The last media update was less than a week ago and they’re already at it again. Didn’t anyone tell them this game was meant to be vapourware? Christ.

Here is a nice blog post on the beefy new armory. Here is a nice NS2 fan film featuring art assets from NS2. Run along now, but make sure you’re home before supper.

Megalist updates below! The full list is available, as always, here.

The biggest news of the last week is obviously the revelation of everyone’s favourite xenotope, the skulk! Don’t feed it, it’ll just follow you around. Make sure to watch the trailer below and check out the accompanying dev blog post.

Also of note are some preliminary ideas on how turrets will work in NS2. Some of the big changes include increased damage, a cone of fire à la TF2, and the removal of turret factories.

I’ve also reorganized the megalist to hopefully make it a bit easier to read. Check out the additions since the last update below or feast your eyes upon the glory of the full list here. (more…)

Update: The HD youtube version is out – I’ve inserted it below.

The latest NS2 class trailer has been posted to IGN. No writeup accompanies this one but the badassery speaks for itself. A HD version will be released in 24 hours.
