Squeeky's Interview Reflection

Just some reflection of a couple parts of the interview

HomeLAN - Now that PlanetSide is getting closer to its release, how do you feel about the progress that the game has made since you joined the team?

Dave Georgeson - It's night and day. The game was in a non-playable state when I joined the team and now it's the single greatest game I've ever had the chance to work on. The last year to year-and-a-half of any project is fun to be involved with...that's when all the features come together, the gameplay begins to click, etc....so let's not pin this great progress necessarily on my arrival to the team...but it's truly been a dramatic change.


Key words being "Single greatest game i've ever had the chance to work on". This is good news :D



HomeLAN - Cheating sometimes runs rampant on other first person shooter titles. How will Sony Online deal with cheaters and hackers in the game?

Dave Georgeson - We're pretty merciless this time around. We've spent quite a bit of time on security for the game, but we also have a Watchdog system that will be actively watching/listening to random people's gameplay at random times during the day. We'll also have a 24-hour Alert system where we can focus Watchdog on suspected cheaters and watch them 24/7. It's amazing how little you can get away with once the system is actively watching you.



And if we catch you cheating, you're banned. No warnings. Just permanently expelled from the game. Not your character...your entire account. So don't do it.

Hey, you ever see him play? Just because you play it, doesn't mean you're any good. That goes for any sport.

Ok, the common misconception that nerds suck at sports is wrong, last time i checked It was a NERD who held the world title in Maden 2002.
