db6 Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 If you have visited the concept art section of the Lucas Arts website, then you've probably seen this: Does anyone know if anything is mentioned about the suit? It looks like a battle suit from the preview shots of Quake IV and Unreal 2, or maybe it has a different significance in the Star Wars universe; like a mantainance suit? Input is appreciated.

digl Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 damn ads It's an exo skeleton whatever that is... EU experts? what is that in the EU and how does it work? If it exists, It could be something new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgirion Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 maybe it's a spacetrooper's suit without a helmet on. Spacetroopers were in the some of the books if I recall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolsen Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 Didn't we start calling this guy "The Jerk" back in an old thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db6 Posted March 4, 2002 Author Share Posted March 4, 2002 It doesn't seem to have propellers, so it is a ground-type suit. It does seem to pack an awsome fire-power, though, which leads to the conclusion that it's some kind of "humanoid/wearable tank", maybe we'll be able to get into one of these things in Single Player?

Lord_FinnSon Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 Unless... this is going to be the suit that main villain, Admiral Galak Fyyar(not Dark Jedi Desann) uses when we fights againts Kyle. As Brett Tosti mentioned in XGR interview, "he was Emperor's sort of right hand man as far as new technology and science is concerned", so he really needs a powerful arsenal, if he is trying to defeat "Jedi", who doesn't hesitate to use Dark Side powers as well. I wouldn't be surprised, if Fyyar had designed this one himself. Or am I thinking too much AvP 2 here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight_of_Wrath Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 Is it me? or does that look like the machine from (I know it's not star wars) Alien or Aliens, at the end when the woman get's in it and attacks the alien? I know it's Aliens, but i'm just thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rat Boy Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 Originally posted by db6 It looks like a battle suit from the preview shots of Quake IV and Unreal 2 Might be for Quake 4, since Raven is developing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Apparition Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 We all know that there are some missions on a mining facility at the beginning and then on cloud city. This might be a mining type suit. It's got the claw and the gun so it kind of makes sense. Shoot crap and then carry it back. heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowen Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 It's quite obvious that it's a Dark Trooper heading to the bathroom and then wondering how he will be able to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broode Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 I'm pretty sure this thing is that really cool vehicle that everyone keeps mentioning and then saying "its a suprise". Damn. I like suprises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoowl Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 I think the drivable vehicle might be an AT-ST. I don't really think that the suit counts as a vehicle. Like Apparition said, if you look at the NRI reports they say about mining operations and the suit will probably be being used by characters there.

db6 Posted March 5, 2002 Author Share Posted March 5, 2002 Maybe we can have bots like this guy fighting us in Multiplayer Deathmatch, that would add some extra spice into Multiplayer games, and it would make sense, since with all that armour, he could go against a Jedi, but not for long!

The picture then would have been removed, or we would have been presented with an updated model of the person if anything had changed, but you might be right, afterall, they changed many things in different versions of the Beta's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolsen Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 I doubt this is a mining suit. If you look at the guy's collar, you'll notice it looks very similar to an Imperial officer's collar. I don't think officers would be wasting their time mining junk. I think this is more likely the concept of the combat suit that the evil guy uses.
