Nothing particularly interesting, but it's nice that they're fleshing out lore this time around.

Underground Cities

Yeah, that stopped me dead in my tracks too. Also uncovering Vanu ruins. Very cool. Can't wait to see them.

It's time to do some science!

Would have been nice to get a screenshot of an '80s Kelly LeBrock, but oh well.

Good, some underground areas could be very cool if done right. PS1 just did them about as badly as you could ever do. Underground areas themselves can be very cool. Ive played may shooters that were in a crappy open world, doesnt mean all open world zones suck.

On another note, who the eff picks these character names? Dear god they are awful. Bobby Jones, Sally Smith, Johnny Roberts...i mean they dont even try. So generic and boring...i dont want to see Gruff McBulletslinger, but atleast come up with somethin that doesnt sound like it came from "Leave it to Beaver".

Wait, we're Scientologists now?

Umm, this may have been obvious to all of you, but I thought the Vanu were a race, not a god. Mind = blown. :o

I don't get this part at all...

Harris’ face filled the screen again. “We left because your people ordered your mercenaries to attack T.R. settlements in the Kaorr desert region. You marched in and slaughtered dozens of innocent settlers.” Draper responded.

“Innocent? They were building weapons of war. You terrorists were intending to use them against the citizens of the Terran Republic.”

I think it should have been:

Draper responded. “Innocent? They were building weapons of war. You terrorists (?) were intending to use them against the citizens (?) of the New Conglomerate.”

Can the TR be called terrorists, and do the NC have citizens, though..?

Whole race is now a god.
Underground cities.
Searhus is no longer spoken of as a continent but an island.
VS discovered rebirth(nananana-hahahaha)

Edit: Would the God Vanu be the voice heard during the bending?

An item in the cash shop for Vanu: Lab Coat

DO WANT !

SKYeXile · 2011-10-13, 06:59 PM

they said"vanu and his people were real" thats new info as the gods name is accutaly vanu, not the race?

i find it funny that we have joked in the past about the NC living in the caves while the TR and VS control the surface.

Im getting a whole star wars TR republic/empire spliced america vibe and vs NC rebels/iraq...meanwhile the VS are probably japan....BRING ON THE TENTICLES I SAY!

Crator · 2011-10-13, 07:02 PM

I liked this one better then the first. Had a bit more content in it.

Crazyduckling · 2011-10-13, 07:11 PM

Parts that I find interesting:

…while the N.C. went off and built their damn underground cities

We’ve excavated [VS] cities.

Vanu and his people were real.

They also mention Kane Prison again. I guessing it is a TR stronghold that is uncapturable on Searhus.

There will probably be a lot of urban combat. Underground NC cities and excavated VS cities.

Vanu is now a single person/thing. Hmm...
