For "6D" they were talking about player movement through the environment, with an emphasis on vertical. Oh yeah! :thumb:
The devs never called the T1 apebeasts "ratmen". The confused FANS called them ratmen, so I theorize we inspired the devs to make Rat Beasts. :D "Giant rats. Greeeaaat..."

They didn't?:confused: Or do you mean talk of the character before the game was released and then they decided to call them ratmen?

The term ratmen was only used by fans. They were never called that either in-game or by the developers.

:o Gah, I must have made it up then in my twisted mind.... just remembering wrong.......:tsktsk:

What about that then? Does garrett say that line then, I don't remember. (i know that doesn't say "rat man" but it has "giant rat")

The Rat Beasts are TDS-only, and that line is said by Garrett in the
Sunken Citadel mission, while looking for the Kurshok Crown.
"Ratmen" is purely a fan term. "Rat Beast" is the creature introduced in TDS. Funnily enough, they don't have tails, either.:laff:

Reviewers called them rat men as well. They may have picked this up from fans or vice versa

It's very common, yeah.

However, I guess the designers wanted to reprise the model of TDP.
sNeaksieGarrett on 16/3/2009 at 05:25
Whoa, that thing looks kind of creepy.:o Btw jtr7, you posted it twice.
jtr7 on 16/3/2009 at 05:46
Rat Beasts so nice, I posted them twice. Double deleted. Thanks!

Nope. Popular fan mistake.
