Very Interesting Files

So, I had some time on my hands today and was digging through the PS2 model files, when, lo and behold, I cam across these little beauties. Besides these there are a tone of Hossin and Searhaus textures, and new hood ornaments (including PS1 vehicles!). I'm sure there are more things to be found and I will post updates If I come across them.

NOTE: Some of the pictures themselves are not very interesting, but the file name certainly are.

Some of those are from the BETA and were scratched I think, namely the Turrets.

Im having a hard time reading the file names.

People have pointed out hidden files since launch. Until they are in the game, I am only going to consider them very covert easter eggs at best.

Funny colors. Seems like the rumored rocket launcher for flash is in the works, picture 7. When are we gonna get that railcannon? Hm I guess at MBT revamp at christmas.

inb4 topic lost and op never seen again

Most of the time you stumble upon stuff like this, you need to realize that much of it is not planned new content, but actually scrapped old content.

In particular, old beta ideas that were discarded.

Hmm, okay, I'll make a post showing what each one is.

1. Autoturret
2. AA Missile Phalanx
3. Minigun Phalanx
4. AV Missile Phalanx
5. Vulcan for Flash
6. Flash Particle Cannon
7. NC Flash RL
8. TR Flash RL
9. VS Flash RL
10. Engi Missile turret
11. Same, different angle
12. Phalanx Missile Turret
13. 30mm Ball Turret
14. Railgun Secondary
15. Reaver Railgun
16. Vanguard Railgun
17. Prowler "Overdrive" canister
18. NS Grenade Launcher
19. EMP Mine
20. Bipod
21. Turret Control Unit
22. A Nice Bank of Monitors
23. KOTH Console

I know, it's sad

Oooh look at the grenade launcher, imagine the fun times I could have with that in a biolab as an engineer.

*BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM*
*cue weapons lock due to idiots walking in front of me*

Yeah, I expect to see the 'nade launcher, Flash weapons, Railguns, and possibly EMP mine in game, not much hope for the rest.

Hey man, its their fi-

I think shelved for later resurrection would be a closer explanation.

ESRL for flash? Do we get a camera guided one? Or laser guided? Does vanu have the choice to shoot 1 rocket at a steady rate of fire or charge it up for a quick burst?

I might agree with you if the original concept design for the Vanguard didn't have parts attached to it that became cosmetic add-ons.

It's poor business to develop 3d models such as these and not put them to good use.

Thumper spam kind of ruined PS1, I really don't think it'd go down differently in PS2.

Say no to Grenade Launchers. Real men throw grenades by hand.

I sure hope so, those phalanx turrets are seriously sexy.

I am hoping these things get added. The new deployable turret especially looks enticing.

Exactly most gaming development teams don't waste the resources modeling objects that won't be used, only tweak them to improve. Scrapping stuff that modelers spent time making just means loss.

I want that deployable turret.

Yeah, the colors are really weird, but they're what PS2ls puts them in automatically, and I don't know how to export them to Blender/Maya/etc.
