Vampire lord wings

Post » Thu Jun 14, 2012 12:16 pm

So did anyone else think the wing claw things were kind of pathetic looking?

Honestly they looked WAY to small, Like at that one part in the trailer were he was kinda flying above the ground and flaping them I seriously laughed out loud cause of how ridiculous it looked.


Before it comes out they really need to make them bigger and actually look like wings, Ever since i saw underworld i always thought it would be cool for vamps to have those big praying mantis arms coming out of their back but the ones i saw were just way to small and scrawny, They need to up the size by about 200% lol.

they're just the right size to provide enough lift to "fly" inches above the ground ;)

They float via magic, so the wings are mostly cosmetic i would assume.

You are laughing as if the wings were the size of a flamingo.


Maybe you expect too much from wing size? They don't look small to me. besides, when using 3rd person, there is player visibility to think about for the gameplay.

Yeah, I agree. They look ridiculous and stubby. Still, the new vampire model is still cool as hell.

To me, I think they look fine. If they were bigger, it would look weird to still be flying not too high above the ground. I'm happy to have a flying vampire lord in the game. Been looking forward to it since the GameJam video.

I think the wings look cool. No need to make them look like huge bat wings.

Im not really worried how they manage to fly with them i just think they would look cooler if they were really long, like as tall as the guy so you could like decapitate and rip people in half and stuff.

The big batty fellow that busts through the wall (or out of a statue) has decent sized wings, I'd assume the "vampire lords" have evolved past needing huge wings and now levitate with sheer power instead.

Well if thats true then why were they flaping?

I don't even care how they fly anyway I just think they would look cooler if they were bigger and more menacing.

I don't think they're amazing tbh, but I can live with it.
The pros totally outweigh the cons.

Also I appreciate how awkward bigger wings could get in 3rd person, like in tunnels for example?

That said... floating around in confined spaces may have it's own issues.

I don't want them fleshed-out like dragon wings, because that would just be obstructive to the view. I like the skinny wings. They have a meek, sickly look to them, and I always imagine vampires that way.

They are smaller because the vampire lord hovers, larger wings would be for full flight.
