Wow.. just some amazing art in this thread!

Although on a separate note (and possibly this is a good thing!) is anything like this ever likely to be made? It all looks very expensive, and no doubt far more expensive than picking up some poor kid from the inner city, giving him some mass-produced khaki and a rifle and pointing him in the direction of the enemy..

Do I detect a touch of cynicism, Pacific?

Ah, but can a kid from the city do the same job without training in Zero-G and the Vacuum of space? Can he do it on Mars? Also, will be able to conduct Info-War like in the Infinity universe?

I have to remind kids in school almost daily that Crtl-C & Crtl-V allows them to copy/paste and that they need to save a shared file on their profile before they can modify it... So I would hazard a "no" to your question, CDK.

Very much so.. although had not long been reading a book about the Great War, my cynicism towards human nature was at a high level at the time of writing!

Anyway..more pictures of cool future fighting stuff!

Excellent thread, somehow I managed to miss it. I'll have a look and see if I have anything saved on my PC to add in. I'm surprised there is no Deus Ex in here yet, that game was like playing first person Infinity.

If we can keep this thread going for a bit it's a shoe in for a link in the sticky! Post away my prettys!

Turns out I don't have a folder in my PC for Infinity inspiration or I've lost it, time to start one! And here is some Deus Ex that I mentioned before:

Loads of great pics here: http://www.deusex.com/media/images

I thought this girl looked very Nomads. To bad her hair isn't some bright color.

This would be a pretty cool Nomad Lizard.

Nice one CDK, I'm actually looking for ideas for my Lizard right now. It's like your read my mind, or more likely my blog.

Even more coincidental, I was considering how I would go about giving the TAG a head of sorts. That first image is all kinds of useful!

What a Badass thread!

No art spings to mind but i did recently see the remake of Total Recall! That had all kinds of Infinity'esk delights in! (Not to mention Kate Beckinsale )

Yes definitely! Say what you like about the film (which personally I thought was perfectly serviceable) but the sets and effects for that film were absolutely stunning.

+1 to that. I loved the movie. I liked it more than the original. Probably because I hate Arnie.

Whilst visually, the remake of TR is amazing.
The homages to the original AND to Blade Runner are very well done.

It's the casting that let it down. Don't get me wrong, watching Kate kick arse and take names is always entertaining.

It was the casting of Colin Farrell. I'm no fan of Arnie, either - but the only actor who would have been more wooden in the role is Keanu.

It was also the complete removal of MARS from the story. Something which is kinda central to the "we can remember it for you, wholesale" story (and then you have the plots-within-plots and mind-fu*kery that PKD was famous for also).

Yes it was rather shallow I thought, although you are never, ever going to get anything like those levels of paranoia (or mind-expletively as you put it! ) in a hollywood film release.

Actually, regarding Kate Beckinsale, as someone who found her immensely tedious in everything else she has ever been in, thought that was by far the stand-out role of her career and the best thing about the film!

There's this guy, Vitaly Bulgarov, he's made a bunch of mechs for a fictional military corporation called Black Phoenix. I've posted some of his work here but you can check his website HERE and his CGHUB profile HERE. It's got an District 9, Elysium, Metal Gear Solid feel to them.

Wow those are awesome!

All very cool but love the doggie!

Those are really cool! They look very real.

This site is crazy cool! Look at this possible Yu Jing guy!

Yeh i can tell I'm going to be spending some time on that site!

Always find "cosplay" (dressing up! ) a bit weird!

Although, if the wife wanted to . . . . . .

Sometimes they are so well done though I think of them as actors from the "movie."

That last image though wasn't a real guy! He's all CG.

Thanks for the inspiration I have a Wu Ming that needs to be painted and that picture gave me some ideas

Wow that's pretty amazing CG! I thought it was real too at first glance..

Kind of looks like the ninja guy (Kai lang is it?) from Mass Effect 3, although this guy has eaten a few more pork pies.

Isn't it CG over a photograph? I could be wrong but that's what I'm seeing. No less awesome though, beautiful work.

A photo might have been used for a frame work but I think most of it's CG. If you take a look at the CGSociety site there's a lot of pure CG stuff.

Yeh I thought the face was real but looking again I could well be mistaken. CG has come along far enough that it can be hard to tell in a still.

The future ninja is not a real person?

whaaaaaaaaaaaat?

Found this funky stuff...
