3rd SI confirmed by VALVe, "the Jockey" will be making its appearance at PAX sept 4th to the 6th. Its a mind controlling SI that "tears you up from behind" while controlling its victims movements.

within the first 5 sec of the video there is a scrunched up rabbit looking SI with pasty white skin, coach kills it and the box with red letters says "coach killed Jockey"

A few other things are different as well such as Melee weapons are now holsterable, ellis also seems to have undergone changes: http://www.eurogamer.net/gallery.php...=745873#anchor Rochelle also has more of a finished-more detailed looking face.The animations for the AK-47 have also been finished.

Yeah, that link doesn't work for me. I actually think it shut down my internet for a bit. I wouldn't click on it.

The link did work and now doesn't.

For all who want to know, it is supposed to be small, grab you from nehind, tear you apart while controlling you.

To what extent it controlls you who knows.

OMG Sounds like an absolute blast to control, especailly if you grab onto a friend who is in the same xbl party / on all talk.

i just read this, this sounds like a really great addition,
i wonder if you will be able to "control" survivors off edges, and if so will it be an insta-kill or just the survivor hanging on the edge,

i think this SI will come with alot of stradegies, just like the spitter and charger.

The link was up, but for some reason the page is down. Maybe it will be put back up?

edit: if you scroll down midway on destructoid.com, the headline is there.

**LightsAndNoise** · 09-01-09, 07:44 PM

I jump on a friends back:

'Hey...hey get off me...what are my teammates doing! Get this thing off me! No...NO! Wait what are you doing! Not off the cliff...noooooooooo!...I hate you.'

EDIT: Yeh I know, cool story bro.

It probably cant make people jump, but it will probably auto-grab onto the ledge... so they will probably only get incapped... omg what if the survivor didn't have a mic. and the jockey just pretended to be one of the survivors working with the others... they could be killing the survivor off and people might not notice until they are incapped... how awsum would that be?

P.S. the link works for me
