Hey everyone,

I just played Chaos Theory and Double Agent again, and I was thinking about the different suits sam fisher has in a lot of missions. I'm not talking about the vacation suit from the boat level :P.
Wouldn't it be cool if there was a iceland kind of map with spies in white suits, or a jungle map with the splinter cell suit from pandora tomorrow (not my favorite sc but the suit was cool :D)
Maybe there could also be some sort of desert camo suit.
It could just be like a simple texture change...

It's not as simple as you make it sound.

It's not "just" a texture swap, there is around 10 hours of work (if not more) in the Spy texture. And it's not just one texture, you have the diffuse, emmisive, mask, normal, whatever.

Besides, the model was modelled to have a black spysuit, if we make it white, I can predict some parts have to be remodelled to not make it look like Just Another Texture On The Same Model (which a lot of games do and which I hate).

Even though, unlockable skins (or just chancing skins per level as you describe) would be nice.

Like a whorehouse level where the mercs get whips and the spies get black leather?

I'd like to see the gameplay with that.
Spies can't move very fast and mercs can strangle the spies with the whips xD

sry about it ;)
I worked with Unreal 3 for some time now, so I now there is a lot of work for every material, I'm not trying to say it is very easy, but I think if you can get a nice texture artist in your team, who knows a lot about the material editor from Unreal 3, it could be done very nice, and it would create a great gameplay experience :)

You seem to be under the impression that we dont have a texture artist.

goodkebab, our Lead Character Modeller, made the Spy model and the Spy texture, winning 3rd place in the MSUC Phase 1 for Custom Character. So when the time comes, he'll also be our guy to make another Spy skin :)

Exactly, I was just saying that there is more to do when it comes to another skin, not just changing the textures.
