From the scrapbook: "In a later version of the story these sadly deformed creatures were victims of a biological weapon developed by the S'pht rescued in the first game. Though close to being completed, the Zombies were dropped when someone pointed out that a superintelligent race like the S'pht probably wouldn't design a biological weapon that didn't actually kill its victims, but transformed them into shambling, blood thirsty savages. " and "Picture 3: Sketch of the Zombie Pfhor, probably the coolest monster ever conceived for the game. All the upper part of his armor is gone, including the mask; his legs are deformed, swollen; same goes for his hands and arms. While the left arm is still recognizable, the right one looks like the cross between a slug and a pice of mucus; the shoulder is so swollen the pfhor head is slanted to the left. " heh, sounds familiar :) And say, is the Yeti coming back as the Brute? Is the Covenantleader not awefully close to the M1-P'fhor-head-tonto? Fwiw, is GS not a bit a crossover between The Logo, a drone, Durandal and a S'phtKr? |
