The Vanu MAX so needs a redesign. - Page 3

The vs max really does look like an alien crab. If you are vs and dont like that look I imagine some customisation will fix it up for ya.

Yeah, so it's not a deal breaker on PS2, but I do tend to agree with the OP. the VS Max has been toned down a bit from the concept, but remains too "manga-eqsue" to fit comfortably in my view of Auraxis. The Vanu have become too separate from the other factions in terms of anatomical design. The vehicles are great though!

I'm still gonna play VS first, but if I can't get used to fighting next to a bunch of luminescent crabs and grunts with light sticks then it may be "another faction" for me, and that would be sad after all the good VS times in the past.

Whingeing, I know, but isn't that the need the interwebz were created to fulfill?

Isn't that VS's goal?

Just wishing the VS looked more like this.

That design does look awesome. Hehe, every time the max killed another player it could say "for the greater good".

Personally, I love the look of the VS MAX. Keep in mind its not as bad ass as the NC MAX ofc.

But I still rank it up there as my 2nd favorite MAX over the TR.

The Vanu MAX looks great imo. My only complaint is its stance, it might be the animation problem TB was talking about but I think it should look a lot more fluid then it does in the screen shots, more like an extension of the person inside rather then the mech style of the other two factions lifting up two giant guns.

P.S just had a wild thought, if the Vanu MAX could have some sort of Katana that the other MAX's didn't for infantry fighting, that would be pretty cool! Just a crazy idea :P

Crazy idea that will probably get a lot of shit talking sent your way. lol

Wonderful community, but folks around here do have their pet peeves.

The VS MAX design is growing on me. I really think that pose has a lot to do with it.

lol sry, my imagination got the better of me. Anyways these ARE just screen shots of the MAX, when the beta happens (whenever that may be) or at E3, we'll get to see the Vanu MAX in motion, which is when I think when it will really shine, speed over brawn.

That brings painful feelings.

I was so looking forward to Tau Empire expansion in Dawn of War 2 and now it looks like there won't even be DoW3 thanks to the stupid Company of Heroes 2(I don't like the dull WW2 setting).

I think the VS MAX looks sexy.

EVILoHOMER · 2012-06-06, 06:06 AM

Seeing it in motion the suit doesn't look as bad as the screenshots did to me. However it does look friendly and not something to be scared of like the other two suits so it does need something a little extra.

UKSwiFT · 2012-06-06, 07:20 AM

It looks much better in-game, but I still have to say it looks pretty terrible. Each to their own I guess!

I have a friend who works at Relic and DoW 3 is certainly being worked on.

As for the VS MAX I don't like it. I'd rather see it be blown to bits.

The problem with the VS MAX is that its arms are larger than its body. Which gives it that silly crab appearance. I understand what they are going for though. They want the VS MAX to be more slender to represent that its more high tech, and mobile than the clunky heavy MAX's the others use. But when you give it gigantic arms that kind of ruins it.

Either the body needs to be larger or the arms smaller. The original concept art had Wing like things on its back that made the center body appear bigger so the giant arms didn't look out of place. Perhaps that should brought back though I suspect it was removed since Jump Jets for VS MAX were cut.
