We went in there with three websites: Rockpapershotgun.com, Readyroom.com.br and Readyroom.org, that’s not a grand coalition. We can do better.
Well actually, we forgot Poland. Flayra has been feverishly churning out interviews, this time giving some exclusive information to natural-selection.pl, the polish natural selection community, check it out.
There are many gameplay changes from NS1, although of course we want it to feel like the Natural Selection universe. We’re toying with a Gorge ability that lets him protect himself by crouching down and crawling. When he’s doing this, his damage would be taken off his energy instead of health. We also like the idea of the Onos being able to stomp the ground to temporarily disrupt marine structures – Commanders would have their screen shake and go black for a second, resource towers would stall, infantry portals would stop spinning (part of their new design), etc. We’ve also added alt-fire for every marine weapon. The alt-fire for the assault rifle (LMG) is a rifle-butt that can be used to knock aliens back, L4D-style. The trick is to improve every aspect of NS1, while still retaining the “feel” of NS1.
