http://i.ytimg.com/vi/T8daCrDY7ZY/maxresdefault.jpg I'm pretty new to PS2 (started in March 2014.) But where is this helmet? It looks amazing. Wanna buy.
Can't find it either. Went through all VS helmets in-game and none of them looks exactly like that. The closest one I found was Ganymede but it doesn't have the teal streaks on the sides.
I've seen this helmet floating around on the internet for a while so I'm guessing it's pretty old. Was it removed or something? And the Ganymede is new.
Looks a little like a PS2 version of the PS1 rexo helmet, just need the black to become more of a goldish tint to it and it would be perfect.
There's lots and lots of fan art from players and prototypes submitted for player studio that never made it to the game. So it might be one of those helmets. Someone made it for fun and it was never included in the game.
I'd be all for that, but player studio stuff rarely makes it into the game anymore. Used to be updated every month with new items. Nowadays it feels like the devs feel like adding player studio stuff is a chore to be avoided at all costs.
I can see why a helmet like that would not make the cut. It looks far to similar to NC helmets. Upon closer inspection, It gives the appearance that things are just "Glued on". T-ray is a good at seeing this in helmets and denies them. If I had to say why it was declined, I would say it doesn't look VS and that certain parts of the helmet just look like they were glued on to take up space and add detail.
Some helmets go through a "tuning" pass before going on the marketplace as well. I remember seeing one TR helmet on VanuLabs that I really wanted to buy for my heavy. I waited months to get it in game, and saw that they had modified the faceplate, so I never bought it.
