Topic: Planetside 2

[Woapalanne]

Yes, you heard me Planet Side 2 could be coming.

From what I understand, sony sent out a survey asking people what they thought of the 1st planet side in order to create the next version.  The link to that survey was:
http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/09/26/sony-to-develop-planetside-2/

However, that link no longer works or the site is down.

I did get the survey and filled it out. It looks promising, we'll see.

[Sidewinder{DoH}]

Promising for how far down the road though? Could be quite a ways out. 

[Thor]

I imagine it's a very long way down the road. This survey seemed to indicate, though not directly, that the game wasn't even in development yet. FPS games are more quickly developed than an MMO but PS is an FPSMMO, so I'd say we're talking at least 2-3 years out when they are done their surveying and actually start coding.

Here's to hoping they go forward with it. 

The first version was certainly a lot of fun.

[Demuclese]

Planetside was a whole lot of fun, they sort of ruined it when they introduced Core Combat, but overall the game was pretty solid besides the lag in heavy combat zones, but then again you have to expect that in whatever game you play.

[Nattydread]

yes, I enjoyed Planetside when it first came out as well, here is to a sequel!

[Razor]

Yes, heres to hoping that it doesnt suck as much as most of the other MMOFPS games coming out these days.

Amazingly they are looking for it to be live this spring.

[Connor]

I'd play that shit.

[Hawkeye]

I'm not sure how I feel about an MMO that is theoretically close to being released, and yet we know nearly nothing about it.

[Thor]

It's an MMOFPS though, so very different. They don't need to program quests, NPCs and compelling story lines. They need to create worlds to fight on, cool environments and give us guns.

[Demuclese]

Its mostly going to be along the same lines of the original Planetside, hopefully Sony can do a better job of moderating the hacks as well as not release a stupid x-pack like Core combat (what a waste that was).
If you played the original its a lot of fun mindless killing with a good opportunity for group action taking bases, towers and eventually continents, we will probably just have to relearn all the basics, this gun does this, that vehicle does that type of thing.

[Nattydread]

I am in on this one.
