[PlanetSide 2] Oh man.

"We're looking at late first quarter, early second quarter [2011]," says SOE head honcho John Smedley in regard to the long-awaited PlanetSide sequel. Players will have to wait a bit longer to get their espionage fix, as The Agency is still slated to arrive "late this year."

Why so long? It boils down to SOE's desire to differentiate itself from the competition. "There's some stuff coming out in the next two or three months, MMO-wise, and a lot of it is generic copycats of other games,"

http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/01/17 … n-planets/

Ironic since this is basically Halo.

Planetside 2 will be free-to-play, but the exact form is still under consideration. The developers have indicated an admiration of the League of Legends model.[5] Planetside 2 will feature certain free aspects, and will include a cash shop. The cash shop will not sell items such as guns or vehicles that make players more powerful. The cash shop will sell things such as customization.

Hats?

I doubt it will be hats, this game is too serious to have that kind of goofy shit. Things such as making your armor have a different helmet or have a different style, however, I believe it to be more serious.

And this is not halo Aussiereaper, the gameplay for planetside 1 was nothing like halo.

The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.

Yes, they may be headwear/gear, but they are not the same.

Is it just a cosmetic change to the characters head, or are some form of stats gained?

Cosmetic change to characters head, still not a hat.

They say at least 750 v 750 v 750 on a single continent, and that they're aiming for 1500 v 1500 v 1500.

I'm a bit disappointed with the F2P model. More cannon fodder, sure, but more cheaters as well. When PlanetSide did the free trials, and free play until BR 10 or so, cheating was more rampant than in any other game ever.

So does that mean if i were to join a game, i'd be able to see 1500v1500v1500 all fighting in front of me? Even if it's 750 v 750 it's bloody huge, you must need a damn good internet connection

Whether it is designed badly or not is a matter of taste. By the way Uzique.

would love to see the game (successfully) updated and relaunched for this generation of hardware/gamers.

Quite a fucking transition considering this post was 10 months ago, what changed? The fact that it is free-to-play?

No, many of those people are on completely different areas. The maps in the game were huge and had so many different bases and checkpoints. Sometimes meaningless ground was fought over because some vehicle that turns into a spawnpoint was setup there or some force was advancing in that area with some serious vehicles. Sometimes it was just 1 faction vs 1 faction in 1 area, while in another all 3 factions were fighting eachother. Even simple small firefights with a few people were quite nice and fun and could even take hours.

Game was especially a blast with friends as you could all get tanks plus a gunner and coordinate. Could get 1 galaxy and 2 guys with fighters to escort ya while you transport forces onto an area.

i love how i've single handedly brought the word "mong" into bf2s parlance and common usage. now that is pretty hip of me i say aside from that, i lol'd at your post. i wish i could live such a bespoke lifestyle with the budgetary and lifestyle constraints of being a broke postgrad. but then again being broke is also pretty hipster. i might move to the village to do my phd at colombia, it'll just be the pits.

war man what has changed is that the games industry is locked into gravity's rainbow and is currently riding a parabolic curve at three times the speed of sound into the fucking ground. a year ago i still had hope that a few great fps games would still come out of the pc platform-- bf3 has pretty much put the final nail in the coffin for me. the fps genre as a hardcore pc genre is dead in the water, totally done. free to play to me just screams "TF2 MICRO-TRANSACTIONS! COME GET YER FANCY HELMET HERE!" and, well, tf2 was the best fps game to come out in recent history and it was completely, utterly, irreversably ruined by its free-to-play micro-transaction real-world-economy gimmick bullshit.

Skill, work, time investment, thinking, reading, learning curve.

These are concepts anathema to the new target demographic, the "adult adolescent" and kiddie-with-mom's-credit-card.

Button mashing, faceroll, obsessive micro-reward achievement chasing (there was a research paper on that), and general console knobbery - this is the new gamer.

I'm off to play Lunar Lander... and replace the used claymores on my lawn.

i wear douche bag glasses? i'm short-sighted. i have to wear glasses for pretty much anything involving reading or seeing for further than 5 metres. therefore, glasses are normally always on my face. so fucking sorry, sir, that i choose an eye accessory with a bit of style that compliments my fashion taste, considering it's being worn by me 24/7. i really do apologise for caring about matching my glasses to the rest of my appearance. nice one though, you really got me there!

When I played the beta of planetside 1 I never noticed the music, man I regret it 'cause this is kickass. Hopefully Planetside 2 has kickass music like this as well.
