Shame they don't dump screenshots in a compressed or smaller format... I wonder which bright spark decided to ignore the whole screenshot factor.

There isn't really that much more to quote, but here goes:




Neocron Evolution 2.1 is a free upgrade package for the action-oriented cyberpunk MMORPG Neocron 2. It updates many of the models used in the game, including the complete vegetation of the game world and many weapons. Several features of the graphics engine have also been updated for better performance and improved visuals. In addition, new content will be added in form of quests and a new dungeon to explore.


The free Neocron Evolution 2.1 upgrade will be released on December 01, 2005. It will be available as a (large) patch, but a new client containing all patches and the upgrade can also be downloaded from the Neocron 2 website.



PS: shouldn't someone bump the old SA thread with these updates, or make a new one? No, I didn't just nominate myself.

Toxen
08-11-05, 17:01
Im going to go out on a limb here mainly to whack people that think theres gonna be mass loadsa new content with this.

Its majorly a graphics update new textures to go with the new models that (should have been part of the n2 release in my opinion, feels like marketing pushed n2 too early quite common in the games industry) But the quotes refering to the new content in the form of quests and "a" new dungeon to explorer (that appears to be a singular dungeon, im gonna take a guess and say either regeants legacy, darkmetal or doy will get its own version of the mainsewer thats so underused in nc). And im gonna take a guess and say that all the new quests will be WoC items. Think logical people this is whats currently missing its most likely to be higher in the priority que than some totaly unrelated quests.

I really like the guns, I think they look really awesome..

I just have one concern...

It seems you are going a lot with 2 barrels for pistols and 3 barrels for rifles in the new versions.

I´m afraid they might be getting to look too close too eachother.


This is not a rant or anything, just a concern.

Hell-demon
08-11-05, 22:47
Can we get a character model upgrade as well. Some of the pics of weapons with characters I can see weapon parts going through limbs and also how did you guys take a pic of a PE with out his lip jolting up.

Very skilled :rolleyes:

QuakCow
09-11-05, 00:23
new fusion weapons are...interesting, but i really hope thats the new auto pistol not the new uzi

retr0n
09-11-05, 00:36
Im guessing that by "submachine" they actually mean assault rifle, seeing how
it's a rifle and nowhere near an uzi...

QuakCow
09-11-05, 00:37
mmm...it very well could be the new assault rifle, but doesnt look beefy enough for it...hrm...

retr0n
09-11-05, 00:39
Seeing how it has the shoulder thingy, the part on the rifle you press against
your shoulder, don't know the english word for it, anyway it looks like a rifle to
me, the only one I can think of is the assault one... unless it's suppose to be
a silent hunter with the little scope and all...

Tratos
09-11-05, 00:43
Fusion cannon looks cool as does the pistol and i too hope that isnt the libby but there does seem to be alot of multibarrel madness going on.

vashtyphoon78
09-11-05, 00:46
personally i think the 'Submachinegun' Looks like the Pain Easer/TG Epic/all those other assualt rifle model, and they DID already show an autopistol model that works really well as a lib model...

tbh splooge on the new fusion rifle model, love it. gonna make my redeemer look pimp as hell O_o

Heavyporker
09-11-05, 01:22
still.. you guys gotta admit that the old fusion pistol/rifle models had some style to them.

These new models.. hmm.. nice.. but...

aren't you guys worried that things seem to be becoming too... sanitized?

The character models look like 19 year old fashion models...

these new weapons look like CGI'ed up bitches from the latest Final Fantasy movie or whatever, with EVEN MORE wax and polish put on.

I'm just a little concerned here.

Really hope there are some weapon types with the old models, and some weapon types with the new models. Sorta broaden the panoply of weapons to choose from, not only for effect but for style too, right?

As I've said earlier, doing it this way: street/unlabeled/normal type = old beat-up models, namebrand (Ryker, Tangent, NCPD, etc) = new shiny models

QuakCow
09-11-05, 01:36
i very much like that idea, heavy

i love the current fusion pistol..this new one is nice but it looks too similar to the laser pistols

Dribble Joy
09-11-05, 02:59
Perhaps they put submachinegun where they really meant assault rifle...

Yeah, it's odd how they have all the right models done, but they are using them for the wrong guns :p.

09-11-05, 11:20
the SMG is the SMG in game. its the other 8mm gun that no one uses. its not the assault rifle nor the uzi.

QuakCow
09-11-05, 11:34
the auto pistol you mean....i could live with that being the auto pistol, but i do so love the old auto pistol :(

09-11-05, 11:41
I just hope they decide to update the weapon icons (on the RPOS and whatnot) to match the new models. It's rather stupid to miss and match the new models with the old icons.

QuakCow
09-11-05, 11:42
i believe they have said they will update the little 2d thingymajigs to match

im pretty sure they just didnt do it in the screenshots because they are making sure the guns dont turn into bannanas when equiped :lol:

09-11-05, 12:08
Nice Models good to see them all getting a work over! :D

And yes they are sure to update the 2d models!

With all the model changes it's gonna take me a little while to figure out what someone is carrying now lol or for that fact what the hell weapons i have!

Ryen
09-11-05, 15:39
Just so you guys stop bitching, look at the model. If you examine it's features in comparison to the Auto Pistol, it's obviously an updated auto pistol.

The stock, the clip, the barrel, and even the readout on the side.

Also, scanner, if you are talking about the S(omething) A(wful) thread, I'm planning to repost it as soon as this comes out. I figure this would be an even better oppertunity to recruit as many people as possible.

Kame
09-11-05, 20:07
defenetly looks more like an auto pistol then a libby.

an idea i had was to make rare weapon's skin be choosen out of 2 or 3 models,SERVER side plz. a bit like slots, but for skins.
this could add something to do for runners w capped account and everything ingame.
so ppl would not only hunt for a 5 slots SH, theyd hunt for the skin model they want.
having to recollect all parts for a new one if they get wrong skin... see what i mean ?

but i do agree the laser models need to be revamped they looked so awfull...
weapons seemed to me like the only last generation graphics in the game...

Tratos
09-11-05, 21:06
i rather like that idea Kame like have a few colour varients of the weapons models - would be schweet.

Hell-demon
09-11-05, 21:10
Are the player models getting an upgrade? because they are extremly buggy and crap :(

Dominus
09-11-05, 21:26
Those weapon models are very nice. It's really nice to see you making the most of the Neocron engine!

But as has been said - The character models are mediocre. The models themselves aren't too bad, though they are rather skinny and don't quite fit in with the rest of the world. The textures are a little too 'polished' aswell though, and lack that gritty grainy and worn down appearance that you see on almost every other texture throught out the world.

The main problem with the character models though is the animations. They just appear too static. No one really stands full upright all the time, and especially not in the decayed, rusted and depressed world that Neocron is set in. Crouching is another example, noone crouches wwith their back upright (takes away from the point of crouching in the first place!), and makes you look like a duck when coupled with the extruded lip.

Tratos
09-11-05, 21:29
Yeah the animations seem very jaggered awell - they're good just dont flow (especialy visable in dancers)
