Have you seen the new leaked Thargoid model?

[Iskariot]

As the title says... Obsidian ant has shown a newThargoid model in his latest video, that looks like an evolved iteration of the previously leaked model.
I have to say it looks magnificent and truly alien and scary and I imagine it is extremely fast.
I hope this is the real thing.

Heh, can you imagine how many years of complaints they'll get for adding the FPS stuff after years of complaints demanding the FPS stuff? Get your whines in early, folks! Beat the traffic!

Looks fun, but I need to see it skittering around! Be good climbing up the walls of caves and dropping down on you suddenly in VR -- lit only by helmet-mounted lamp. And by good, I mean AGHGH!

They claim it's an FPS model, yet it may as well be an asset for trailer clips.

 

[Leper Messiah]

Like the Shivans from Freespace 1+2

I hope there are several Thargoid models and many variations like armors they could be wearing etc. Surely would get old shooting the same bug all the time.

If FD bottle that Shivan death vibe then they are doing well.

Too true, that intro of Descent: Freespace is brilliant and the way the Shivans are inroduced in the midst of the Vasudan/Terran war is also brilliant.

Hope everyone is prepared to be probed!

As long as no-one probes Uranus.

A trailer for space legs?

'Leaks' aren't always unintentional by the way.

Man, I'd kill for Freespace-style mission pack DLC with all the Frontier audio trimmings. At least they've managed to pull off the best space sim dogfighting SINCE Freespace... I'm probably starting to approach the hours I sunk into those games.

Dunno... Walking inside ships and interactions with systems and walking around stations would be nice. Also missions where you sneak inside outpost to retrive objects or information. I'm a bit tired of thargoids and guardians. If it's an announcement of legs I'm happy but I hope we can also see some atmospheric planets. Just walking for killing aliens would be terribly upsetting

They look a lot like Starship Troopers bugs, if this is real, I hope they run and act like those for a FPS type of game, in VR that is going to be mental

I can't look at a naked Thargoid.... Eeeeew!

Looks like this guy predicted at least some properties right https://www.artstation.com/artwork/JdVAD

I imagine the sound team would have a blast coming up with all the weird little noises they'd make moving around and chittering.

I've heard from somewhere I forget that they also more often communicate through some telepathic-like radio signal or something. But yeah, either way, looking forward to their sound assets and the quality Frontier usually do by them.

Get ready!
