Will SOE/PS2 be at PAX Prime?

[LZachariah]

Just wondering if anyone's heard anything about this. PAX Prime is supposed to be showcasing a LOT of games (including Skyrim, which is going to rock unfathomably hard). Any word about Planetside 2 being there? Or SOE in general? PAX Prime will be Aug 28th and 29th, I believe.

In the schedule for PAX it says:

PC Gamer Presents: The PC in 2011 and 2012
Unicorn Theatre
Friday 12:30pm - 1:30pm
We did a crazy thing. We got tired of the world's most popular gaming platform not having a formal presence at gaming conventions. So we did something about it. For one special hour, we've gathered PC gaming's best minds and producers and "Voltroned" them together into a giant presentation-giving robot of unlimited power.

Rally up as we roll out the red carpet for the platform with the most fans (see what we did there?) and reveal unannounced secret projects, and exhibit world-first live demos from EA, Guild Wars 2, Minecraft, GOG.com, Sony Online, and still more. Hosted by the team that's been yelling about PC gaming for 15 years, PC Gamer.
So either they're "reveal[ing] unannounced secret projects" or "exhibit world-first live demos". I'm hoping the latter.

Hrmm. Interesting. Well, it will certainly be worth a look. Honestly, I didn't expect that there would be any playable demo of Planetside 2 just yet, but hey, it would be fantastic to be surprised!

...
damn you! im trying to keep my expectations low here. spent teh last few weeks
locking the fanboy deep inside and here you come posting infos like that.
i hate you! no i dont! argh

[Graywolves]

Omg if they have a Demo at PAX I will.....

I seriously don't know. I think it would be like going to heaven, I can't explain it and I have no clue what it will be like but I know that when it happens....I'll be trippin bawlz.

[hippieschuh]

if they wantet to show a demo or new trailer, they would have done at gamescon, no?#

I think we have to wait for christmas until we see any real new infos.

also consider that battlefield 3 and diablo 3 are just around the corner so not also they want to finish the game asap but also they need to find a good timing to relase it.

I wont play bf3 but d3 will keep me up a bit for sure

[bjorntju1]

:D

[Hamma]

I'm sure they will be at every Con from here until the game release answering questions and doing interviews. Here's to hoping PCGamer has something sweet on tap.

Not really no, it's probably more cost effective to do it in the US.

I've been checking the PAX sponsor list and "Sony" is on it, but not "Sony Online Entertainment" - we'll know for sure in 5 days. I skimmed over the event list and missed the one Sirisian posted. PAX usually has demos in the expo hall, but not always.

[Hamma]

Anyone here going to PAX Prime?

[Malorn]

I go every year, including this one.

[LZachariah]

You'll be our reconnaissance!

Bring a king sized redbull for Higby, and maybe we'll get that beta schedule.

I LOLed. :)


No Game Cons in Sweden. Would be awesome if SOE decided to go to Dreamhack to advertise PS2 then I would sooo go to Dreamhack. :D

[FIREk]

Regardless, it would be a pretty cool thing to do. :)

Excellent! You can be our eyes an ears. ;)

[Brusi]

yeah, something about their gaming netbook, maybe?

[basti]

Aye, it is indeed, just check the link again.

Wonder how much that thing is going to cost. :>


Anyway, any word from Planetside at PAX yet?

[Bags]

It's cute where they put the touch pad.

[Aractain]

Its not very impressive....



(thats what she said)

[Malorn]

PAX has grown a lot in the last few years with multiple expo halls, but SOE is not among them and the Sony section is all PlayStation garbage. No sign of PS2 at PAX.

On the upside, Higby and co. are actually working on Planetside 2 now instead of preparing for / attending a gaming conference.

[FIREk]

What about the PC Gamer panel, with GOG, SOE and someone else?

[FIREk]

So ir looks like, although it was announced here (http://prime.paxsite.com/schedule.php), SOE didn't present anything, or wasn't even present on PC Gamer's PAX panel:

Edit: looks like they officially pulled out at some point. I suppose whatever they wanted to show turned out to be not ready yet, at the time.

Interesting news, from Twitter Purrfectstorm has been pulling quite a few all nighters so they are working hard on the game.

[FIREk]

Crunch time usually means a milestone is coming (or has been missed), but I wouldn't get my hopes up... I will anyway, though. ;)

Yes, they are playtesting it hard as well apparently

*EEE* That was a really fun play test! Woot. Killing co-workers ftw! #PlanetSide2

I know you can technically play-test at any point in the development cycle really, but it's encouraging we'll be able to get our grubby paws on it before the end of the year. =P

They tease like loose women at a bar, its insane.

"Ohhh i just got to play it, oohhh killing co-workers is fun, ohhh its shiney, oohhhh did my skirt just ride up a little bit?"

I love the devs, but really - what a penis. :P

[NCLynx]

Aye, it is indeed, just check the link again.

Believe they said 2700$ rough estimate.

And yes, where is our PAX info!? :(
