[Megathread] Planetside 2

[Drdigit]

I gotta say, so far the Development team for PS2 has been exceptional, if you follow their twitters (https://twitter.com/#!/mhigby Matt Higby the Creative Director and https://twitter.com/#!/PS_TRay Tramell Isaac the Senior Art Director) they are always in contact and very good at answering questions on the game and even showing some behind the scenes screenshots. There have even been changes made based on the input by the community, so I really do have a good feeling about PS2, especially with how much communication is going on between the devs and the players.

I'll never fully forgive SOE for swg but this looks too damn epic to pass up

[Eternal Champion]

I'm loving what I saw so far. Can't wait for TB to upload more stuff.

[Orby]

Looks nice, but once again its an fps, not my cup of tea!

[Nirawen]

Short video from Totalbiscuit showing a brief view of the loadout customization for the Liberator and a bit of flying, or attempts at flying atleast .

[Drdigit]

Very Exciting videos today. One from TB and one for SOE itself.

Mind you it's still in Alpha, but it's shaping up to be amazing. Keep your eyes open at E3, some big stuff to come out then.

This game looks to be amazing, I just wish it wasn't free to play. I have yet to see a game do free to play well, but I'm hoping this one will pull it off.

[Maku]

Hnnnggh.
Doesn't just look good, the sounds are pretty awesome too.

[Drdigit]

Damn, I don't mean to post so much today but holy crap! Some new pictures of Max Suits;

I really love the Vanu artstyle.

I really love the Vanu artstyle.

Me too, I really like the Vanu faction. I just like that they are based on Alien technology.

And they are the only ones with lasers I think.

[Drdigit]

Yup, not only do they have lasers, but their weapons for the most part don't have bullet drop; however they will lose damage quicker over distance than the other factions, but no bullet drop is quite nice, they are also the most agile and maneuverable IE; their Main battle tank can hover over water, so in some cases it can bypass bridges. I still happen to be quite fond on the Terran Military design style and their philosophy on large groups working together.

Before I came in here I was thinking "meh, I'll check this post out."
I leave here thinking

I did the whole magazine code for Beta a while back and now keeping my fingers crossed for an invite.

[looopy]

I'm going wherever TB goes which I believe is the Terran Republic. So depending on how binding your choice is, I think I'll be trying out all 3. Which are yal thinking?

[slayton]

I was extremely stoked for the original Planetside when I first heard of it, sadly the combination of having a dial-up connection and being on my sub-par parents computer I didn't even get to try it out. Needless to say an improved Planetside 2 has got me super excited to have an alternative to WoW when I need it..can't wait for this.

Aye, TB was a Terran Republic soldier in the first game and all odds point to him playing the Terran Republic again as his main faction; as of now I think you can only have 1 faction per server. In the old PS you could have all 3 faction characters but there was a 12 hour cool-down to switch factions. I am a bit biased though, being a Terran soldier in the original planetside for years I am going to exclusively stick to them; plus our max suit looks so damn menacing.

Case in point;
