Heisenberg assets from the RE8 files: Symbols and iconography
Huh, so, judging by the number of notes on that recent post about Heisenberg's conspiracy board, I'm taking it there are still folks interested in RE assets connected with everyone's favourite magnetic hobo? Well, what the hell, have some more!
To start with, have some textures and close-ups of his cigars. Did you ever notice he's got his own logo on them? (Yes, the Duke smokes the same cigars, logo and all.)
Next, some maps of the factory. First two are the diagrams you can find up on the wall at each elevator stop ‒ red outlines mark 'you are here' for each stop. Latter two are the 'official' maps you can pick up to navigate by (in both stained and unstained versions).
Icons below cover every key/treasure item unique to Heisenberg's domain (for more on some of these, see my post on unused icon assets). I've also thrown in the the page of map icons, his included.
While we're doing icons, here's a new bunch of icons and other assets added to Mercenaries with the DLC, to cover Heisenberg-specific abilities.
You'll also see Heisenberg's iron horse logo when he talks to Ethan through the TV, so here's that asset ‒ plus the one the Duke uses to talk to Rose the same way in the DLC, just for comparison.
Finally, below are all the texture assets used to create Heisenberg's crest on his book, Rose flash and the Iron Horse Ball. Since these are mostly game textures, they're not the prettiest on their own, but maybe someone will find some use for them.
For something a bit more user friendly, we'll start with a couple of close-ups of the book from in-game.
For one last work on iron-horse iconography, it may interest you to know there may have been some intent to work more related imagery into Heisenberg's domain at some early stage of development. Or at least, there is this one piece of concept art that appears briefly in one of the making-of features, featuring horse statues apparently made out of scrap and barbed wire.
Hard to imagine why Heisenberg would've actually had this stuff lying around his factory, which may be why they never made it past the concept stage. But they do make for some striking imagery, all the same!
