Perhaps they use two eyes to look out and the other two to read a detailed HUD?

That... makes sense!

This.  I actually really like that idea.

Erm...Not so much.

Why would Batarians evolve eyesight that works less than an inch from their face?  Of what possible use is that from an evolutionary stand-point?  Did they evolve like that so that later on when they started using impracticle helmets they could use an internal HUD?  Damn that was lucky!

Just Bioware cutting corners.

Actually, "cutting corners" was the idea behind giving them human-like bodies. They were originally supposed to look more alien with bigger, wider heads.

Edit: awww, what the hell. I'll post a pic:

Lilo and Stitch, anyone?

It sure seems it's all about cutting corners sadly. It's nice though that Bioware at least included some aliens that weren't so simliar to humans in size, if not shape. The volus, elcor and especially hanar come to mind. The whole two arms, two legs, two eyes thing isn't too creative with the first two but Bioware has done a pretty good job as a whole. Alot of people have issues taking an alien design seriously if it doesn't look at least a little bit human, so perhaps that has had alot to do with it as well.

I always just thought that the Batarians were using Human armour. (In my head, at least) It's probably way more widespread/easy to find and/or better than their own stuff.

Something feels very familiar here....

Best explanation.

I know they were just saving rescources, but this works well for me.

Sounds good ^^

Still want proper helmets for ME3 (if they´re still alive then! )

I'd say more like Sid from Ice Age.

[who would know]

I'm pretty sure two of the four eyes wouldn't simply be able to function independently of the others to read a HUD. Would that not screw with depth perception? Also.



This is so much cooler than what's in the game.

It's interesting that, in the first ME novel, the batarians are described to look as they did in the pre-BDtS codex, yet in BDtS and ME2, they look totally different. I still prefer the new look to the old, personally.

[emanziboy]

This didn't bother me because I doubt those are really eye holes in the helmet. Even for two eyed species like humans, it wouldn't make sense for them to be eye holes. It would be like walking around with toilet paper tubes strapped to your eyes. You would have absolutely no peripheral vision, which would be a major problem in combat. I think it's more likely that those eyes are actually cameras or sensors that feed visual information to a HUD inside the helmet, kind of like modern day night-vision goggles.

I thought they said the batarians were a modified version of a shelved species from a different game that was canned (i.e. that picture was never intended to be a ME batarian).

[Heimdall]

Honestly, I think Bioware probably just overlooked it. I never noticed until I came to this thread.

It's not a screen so much as the HUD is projected directly onto the eye itself.  There are displays being researched right now do that same thing.

[Rulid]

Why do you need for eyes anyway?
It doesn't make any evolutionary sense to have four eyes set in a predator's field of view.
It would make even less sense for Batarians to have four eyes to see an entire panoramic view, since that would indicate they were actually NOT predatory and, hence, wouldn't explain their aggressiveness.

I think the whole two eyed helmet actually stems from a primary shoddy designed alien race. The designers who designed the helmets (apart from the designers who designed the Batarians) overlooked the whole four eyes, because it didn't register as important since it didn't really differ from having just two eyes in the first place.
