Velvet Assassin: Have a Sexy Xmas!

New artwork right here

Posted by Staff
SPOnG's not normally inclined toward taking an interest in dress-up, but when blood-soaked nighties, leather and sexy spies enter the mix, our interest is piqued. As such, we've got some new artwork from GameCock's Velvet Assassin for you to cast your gaze over.

Also supplied was a bit of info on the different outfits on show. In case you're not just skipping straight to the pics, here it is:

Pilot Outfit - Violette’s mainstay is her standard brown leather jacket and blue canvas cargo pant set. While not exactly all the rage in Milan, this is a very likely outfit of the times; providing the wearer with the storage of cargo pockets, durability of canvas and toughness of the leather. This outfit gives Violette a solid set of threads to get by with. There isn’t too much to be said for these duds, but they get the job done.

Leather Sneaking Suit - The all-leather suit gives Violette a slight edge in darkness. For obvious reasons she’s able to blend in with the shadows much better in this suit. Made of supple leather, this is the ideal outfit for Violette, with the tough, yet soft feel of the leather offering her great flexibility in both combat and stealth.

Nazi Officer Uniform – As the old saying goes, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em! Isn’t it funny how they never seem to find the things right under their noses? With one quick wardrobe change, Violette takes on the Nazi Officer uniform and can easily infiltrate enemy ranks. The minute Violette dons the uniform, she takes on the persona of a Nazi officer, walking and saluting to keep the other soldiers completely fooled. As long as Violette doesn’t have any close face-to-face encounters and doesn’t behave suspiciously, she should be able to fool any soldiers she comes upon.

Night Dress – This outfit is completely unsuited to any of the exploits that Violette will undertake, but that’s the point. The entirety of Velvet Assassin is actually a flashback, with Violette remembering her efforts while in a coma. Whenever players get into a tight spot in the game, they can go into Morphine Mode which simulates Violette getting an injection of the drug from her nurse to calm her down as she lives out the horrific memories of war in her violent dreams. When this happens, the action slows down and the world around her becomes more of a dreamscape, and whatever Violette was wearing is temporarily exchanged with the nightie she’s garbed in at the hospital.

It's a World War 2 stealth game. In it you play Violette, but the Life on Mars like twist is that she is in hospital in a coma, and you play through chapters of her memories.

The action doesn't take place on the front lines - it's not a MoH style game. instead you'll take part in espionage and intrigue for from the field of action.

Sounds a bit like Castle Wolfenstein vs Sam Fisher

She somehow looks far closer when she's in her nightie.
