Just saw some new concept art

[Dagobert]

In Edge magazines PC special magazine.

It's a small image, and it shows a large, high ceilinged corridor (probably man made, looks like the prison or hospital from Bug Bait).

There are some cranes in the room (obviously combine) and the cranes seemt to be constructing pod-like structures that are hung on the wall.

I can't tell the scale of the image, so the pods could be a way of building combine soldiers or the pods may be huge sections to be assembled into the citadel.

I would buy the mag and scan it, but I don't think its worth £5 to keep you loons happy.

 

[XtAkm4p]

heh heh heh, smart.

 

[DigiMajik]

well.. thanks for being a contributer.. *sigh*

 

[Direwolf]

This is some obscure, but old concept art.

 

[Dagobert]

__________

is that were the combines are made??? :bounce:

 

[Dagobert]

To me, it looks like the prison has been adapted to make something in pod-forms. It could be sections of the citadel, or a pod to make combines.

Not really...

I see where you're going, but... Nah.

 

[FoB_Ed]

how is that a matrix ripoff

 

[el Chi]

He's trying to compare it to the pods where all the people are kept.
Hnnnngh...

 

[droper]

that looks really interesting. Can't wait to walk through that place.

/me drooling over lighting effects

 

[Garp]

Everything that shows pods on a wall can't be a Matrix rip off, especially considering how vastly different the styles are. In fact there were plenty of movies before the Matrix with pods on a wall.

 

[el Chi]

<Whispers> It's artwork, dear. Not in-game.

Ya, but even so... if they can get the blur on the light coming through the roof, I'm happy.

 

[commando]

i can see why u think it is a matrix rip off....but...NAAAA. looks Gr8! can't wait to see it in the game (if they kept it.)

 

[Spiffae]

the artwork is a gulag ...or at least that's what PC gamer says.

 

[commando]

The opposite thing of a GALUG

 

[schaf]

sounds clingon

 

[Spyre]

Gulag is a prison or labor camp. It's a russian term for prison camps.

 

[Sushi]

Soviet Gulags were notorious for being concentration camp style hellholes. Perhaps the Combine is using humans for slave labor, and Gordon is busting them out???

[Dagobert]

I would have thought that the combine are using a Gulag for a new purpose.
