Natural Selection 2 is the sequel to the popular Half-Life mod Natural Selection. It is built on our own engine and will be distributed through Valve's Steam platform.
I'm pretty sure it's 3D - look at the specular highlights on the teeth. They would look really out of place if it was just a 2D image and didn't change with lighting.
Check the Scenebuild Video which shows what layers are working in the engine to generate that scene: Youtube.com
Pretty convincing that this is actually ingame, right?
This is one of the first in game screen shots ever released for NS2, I don't know why you think you've seen it in the Skulk reveal but I'm sorry you're misinformed.
As for being the real deal, I'm not sure what you classify as real but that is an unedited in game screen shot of the pre-alpha build.
it would be pretty amusing if the alien decided to close his mouth through out the entire game, anyway, im pretty sure the actual mouth was added after the render, too cool to look like that in game
It does not have eyes inside its mouth, the player prospective was placed inside the mouth because its just lame not being able to see your self bits things, it has a much much better feel having the camera placed inside its mouth than not. It's tried and tested.
Also yes it is indeed a 3D model. The tongue is animated too.
Rawr?
Why we need toothbrushes. If we dont use them the insides of our mouths will look like that!
Looks like an image rather then a 3d model
To make a 2D Image out of a 3d model you need to render. And a render is an 2D image .. lol
I don't think so. Look at the pipes on the wall, you can see individual faces on the model. If you;re talking about the mouth then I have no idea.

I said that once, just to be directed by the lead of UWE himself. In front of the full NS2 forums.
That was the moment I became convinced I needed a newer machine.

Yeah, I think that's part of making it look stylized - rather than just making you feel like your in the throat of some grotesque monster...
i see what you mean, like a overlay of the mouth were u see thro middle.
still looks pretty dam good tho.
Lighting says to me, 3d, but I wasn't sure at first...it looks amazing either way.
either way it looks badass. great work
the mouth from ns 1 was a 3d model and realy nice
cool!!
(buried)
this is the same ******* image when they presented the skulk, but this time theres teeth on the edges, I dont think its the real deal

Now I understand why you think you've seen it before, what you saw was concept art: Unknownworlds.com
The vent you see in game is based on that concept art, just like most of their assets.
That's a great comparison.
Why do you have to cuss? Are you 12? Real men use grown up words in their big boy voices.
No WAY that's in-game!
It have an eye inside the mouth or it was made this way to better aim?
The perspective is from inside the mouth because you can see yourself biting Marines and generally it looks more interesting.
They're not actually meant to have eyes in their mouths, although they could considering they're fictional aliens.
Hmm I see
jeezes, *fap* material!
Apparently their eyes are in their mouth? (view from an open mouth :D) looks awesome though
Well, your eyes arent on your bizeps either, like it is in a lot of Ego-Shooters XD
GIVE ME A KISSSSSSSSSSS
Haha, awesome shot and details.
Love that view
woah wow im getting this game
My god, I thought this was a drawing.
this picture reminds me of the first alien vs predetor game on the pc, when you quick kill with the alien. i always thought it was cool
Spectacular Looks Like A sort Of First person DeadSpace May Even Better!
The other Skulk must be like: "Man that is one ugly *** freak! I dunno what I look like since my viewpoint is in my mouth."
Nom Nom Nom NOM
it would be pretty amusing if the alien decided to close his mouth through out the entire game, anyway, im pretty sure the actual mouth was added after the render, too cool to look like that in game
Thats pretty sweet. Though I have to ask one question. Why are you seeing things from inside the mouth?
It does not have eyes inside its mouth, the player prospective was placed inside the mouth because its just lame not being able to see your self bits things, it has a much much better feel having the camera placed inside its mouth than not. It's tried and tested.
