Title: [ WHITE-FLY PROJECT ]
Name: Andrew Curtis
Country: United Kingdom
Software: Photoshop

Concept for the main vehicle in a next-gen console (PS3, 360) shooter

Pained in 6 days in Photoshop and using the wonderful (and free) Google sketchUp for perspective under-painting

Comments welcome good or bad

When the last units have withdrawn from the city the solitary White-Fly will stick around to mix things up. Capable of rigging skyscrapers with demolition charges and dropping them on an invading force a single White-Fly has been known to rack up over 100 kills before refueling.
The White Fly 5 is the result of 9 years development by Ogami Industries into the gravity manipulation technology commonly seen in hover vehicles today. By radically reducing the size of the unit OI were able to literally stick a vehicle to any surface irrespective of the amount of traction that surface provided.

Stickiness is one thing, but it means little unless the surface it's sticking to is capable of holding the weight. To account for this, I might suggest that the vehicle only spend a limited time on glass with an increasing amount of fractures acting as a warning, or some sort of mechanism for pushing the weight up from below. Theoretically anti-gravity and extra-gravity would glow, however extra gravity would appear reddish whereas anti-gravity would appear bluish, as result of "virtual photons" and red/blue shifts caused by stretching/compressing of the light.

All technical mumbo-jumbo asside, I like it, and it would make for a very interesting gameplay experience if they can make the camera work properly for it.

Nice, reminds me a bit of Eurobot (http://a1862.g.akamai.net/7/1862/14448/v1/esa.download.akamai.com/13452/mpeg/Eurobot_WET_testing.mp4)
