Two action shots from ONS-Redplanet:



Raiding a Node in Icarus on my board (it jumps the ramps pretty well too)


Think this jump is too much for the HoverBoard???

Well, looking close, keep going...

Whew, made it, woot free levi!

maybe it could be a bit more longer and thinner....doesnt look a bit like the Chaos site's POTW

what does it shoot

maybe you could make it blast not too thick smoke from it's back

I looks short because you are viewing it length-wise. You can use your own weapons while riding the board.

Its pretty long in game, but the character model blocks a lot of it. (see the first pic).

Right now it shoots manta balls but thats because weve not tweaked it to use weapons yet

The player model stands pretty far back on the board.

tho i still think it should have the redder skin and be a small bit longer,stretched

Looks fine to me...but move the guy a little farther up the board...he looks like he's tying to surf on the edge of a surf board to pull off some cool trick or something....looks ok other than that.

You say the hoverboard uses your own weapons... does that mean melee weapons will work too? I'm thinking something along the lines of jousting here :p

actually , jousting was one of the biggest parts of the thing. hehe.

so , yes , melee weapons will be hoverboard usable

sweet! now you can just fly by someone and cut them in half! will also enjoy the jousting. maybe it would be like a scorpion VS someone ON a hoverboard WITh a sword in hand. that would make an EXTREME sworfight!

*cough*
Not to be a buzzkill, but its not coded yet. Hoverboard is still in its primitive stages, and in the current IR cant even use the grapple let alone weapons. Luckily though, most melee animations use only the top half of the body, while the board should use mainly the lower half, so if we are lucky we can use that to our advantage.

I would say dont count your chickens before they hatch, but then again, im hoping just as much as you guys are that it will work as intended

sorry bout that , because we've been talking bout jousting w/ the hoverboard for a while now , I just assumed that We'd figure a way, but , you know what happens when you assume . . .

Im not saying it cant or wont be done, just that its going to take a bit of , some of , and a whole lot of

How do you switch weapons while using it though?

As of the time of taking these pictures, the weapon switching feature had not been implemented yet. Not sure if it has been put in or not yet, as ive had a lot of school work recently, but i beleive the general idea is that weapons should function as normal when riding the board (though some might effect movement some)
