*** Official Planetside 2 Thread ***

i have applied for beta access but doubt i will get it as i never played ps1. I hope i can though because watching all of the commentaries by the devs it sounds like it is going to be a killer game.

And no monthly subscription woot :)
 
Hmmm I liked all the stuff in PS that they seem to be changing. C4 just means suicide deaths to take out a tank, I used to like the "holy ****, it's a tank take cover" mentality when you were infantry. I don't think the multiple cap points in a base will capture the "defend the core!" of PS either. It still looks good and I guess things have to move on...

Personally, I don't see it as being any different from having boomers. Looks like the same mechanic, albeit somewhat more powerful. Run forward, stick it down, run back, detonate.
Just watching the video now though, so may be proved wrong by it!
 
A lot of people asked for secondary generators / cap points to reduce spammy stairwell sieges.

<3 better boomers.

The only reason they didn't do that was engine limitations.
 
I just hope we get the same/better gaming experience as PS1 with loads of galaxy's raiding bases with hundreds of people dropping in. I can't wait for some videos of large scale battles with hundreds v hundreds v hundreds as i bet people who didn't play/see PS1 are thinking "it looks ok i suppose" but without seeing the game with full servers it is hard to comprehend what a FPS is like on this scale.

To me planetside was the pinnacle of MMO gaming. I was never into warcraft as casting spells and travelling miles to find the "sperm of the elven dwarf king" just seemed a little tedious to me but hundreds of players shooting each other in the face was my kind of game. I can't wait to play PS2.

Up Auraxis.

At least it will be free to play I guess, from what I've seen so far it just doesn't grab me like I thought it would. It doesn't look like it'll play like the original and I'm sceptical that they'll get the netcode working to make accurate use of hitboxes with 100s of players on server... Things like not having the ANT or AMS anymore takes a lot away from the game for me.
 
PS1 was a great game I played, I remember clutching my PS1 box on the day of release in the uk haivng read reviews in PCZONE. I have never experianced gameplay like it since, probably down to the fact that I dont have the time with having kids:) But life goes on and I am hoping to get the same gaming greatness from PS2.
 
The guy in these PS vids sounds like the narrator from Thomas the Tank Engine :p

Game is looking great though, really can't wit for this now.
 
I have to say as a PS(1) fan I was really dubious of PS2... but damnnnnnnnnnn... that video makes it look incredible, even though he hardly did anything. Also.. I love the guys voice lol.
