So TR can expect to take out an entire NC squad with just a pistol? Sounds good.

What makes you think he's taking them out?


Awesome stuff, I assume those aren't actual game screenshots but just renders. However if the game will look even close to that, then I'd say it's fucking beautiful.

Nice to see the NC still have a bit of blue and yellow without looking too ridiculous, but TR needs more red tbh!

The first screenshot looks amazing with the bushes, and the fact that TR is about to get smoked.

The second shot looks a little weird to me, it almost looks like a clay rendering with the way the lighting is set up.

Needs a bit more color on the soldiers IMO. Looking good regardless.

Matt Higby is "rockin' the sternum bush" to quote Psych.

That or wear an undershirt. Higby, when we say you are the Hair God, we mean your head, not chest.

Also, it looks like the background person in the second screenshot has his helmet off?

Nice. I love the attention to the animations and the foot positions. The way the shirt is pinched between two of the bands is a really nice touch.

My only complaint would be the grass. It's patchy. I kind of expected a full grass rendering below my feet this time. This better not be DX9 holding back everything.

Looks nice, but like Bags said could possibly be more of the faction colors on the soldiers but looks awesome. :)

Nicely whritten, but the group photo reminds me of a "Supernatural" poster. I wonder why.

I think their outfits have little color because they are low-level characters. Low level characters in PS1 are very bland also.

Lets look at the screenys then:

http://www.planetside-universe.com/media/main/psnext/screenshots/423.jpg

Just look at the detail for the armor. Now look at the guys back of his knee. This isnt just some usual stuff here, this really is high quality work, because it actually looks like it would look like in RL, and not just the model smashed together whenever someone is kneeing.
This really is quality

The Shadows are also quite nice. The bushes cast shadows on the guy, he also has self shadowing. And also look at the grass. Gone are the days of giant grass bushes that makes it hard to see mines.


http://www.planetside-universe.com/media/main/psnext/screenshots/422.jpg

Everyone with a slight clue about modeling sees that those trees are low poly. But thats usual stuff for such objects, you cant just waste the count there. Yet, the textures look like high quality.
The rocks in the background are just fantastic, and if the game allows them to use them the way they look, such rock formations may provide useful cover for snipers. Just climb into one of those dark spots and be almost save.
If you look at the grass, you notice that the grass up front on the grass texture is green and alive, but the grass back on the sand is actually dead.





SOE guys: if you read this, Tell T-Ray and the art guys that they really did a fantastic job. I have seen lots of quality graphics in my live, but on those two screens you really feel the love those guys put into their work. <3

I hope these characters they are using the model the game are the starting armor you get at BR1 and once you go up the BRs the more they will become a lot more red/blue/purple.

That being said the game looks beautiful!

cellinaire
2011-09-14, 05:53 AM
When SOE said like "ForgeLight engine is capable of 2011, AAA-FPS quality" I took it with a grain of salt. But here finally, some high quality screenshots that can compete with even Cryengine3 and new Frostbite2, in this epic scale Yay ^_^

(yeah I've played Crysis with maximum setting many times and seen enough of Crysis2 max and Battlefield3 HD quality footages.)

Of course, games are not all about graphics but I really have to say Kudos to the art team and T-ray =)

Shogun
2011-09-14, 06:10 AM
do they really use these high quality stuff ingame? i mean are those really ingame graphics of an alpha scene? or are that rendered concept art shots?

if they use these extreme high quality models AND keep the game lagfree, i am very impressed!

CrystalViolet
2011-09-14, 06:26 AM
stunning on all levels. Really impressed with how much more realistic and mature the uniform designs are this time around. The neon GIJoe look of PS1's characters was kind of cool at the time, but really doesn't hold up all that well.

Just look at those screenshots up close and compare it to the previous screenies and trailer. I think it's highly unlikely that those are pre-rendered concept shots =)


But we will see, though.

idk, i think i like the TR with less bright red OMG HERE I AM GIANT BRIGHT TARGET.... with the more "bland" look comes better terrain blending better stealth esp for night ops... which i hope kick ass. and why do the tr maxes look like giant red beetles with huge round eyes... epic fail nc and vs maxes look badass. cant wait to see more armor options and examples of huge ammounts of personalization...

Heaven
2011-09-14, 07:34 AM
I cant wait to see some in game screen shots of MAX units, I can't imagine what they will look like. Hopefully bad ass! And to the guy that said they dont like the look of TR MAX units I personally think they look the best.

When I looked at them first I thought they were of real people in PlanetSide 2 uniforms :o Yep they're really well done.

Anyhow, while the pictures are awesome, reading about the team is cool too :D

And for those who missed it, apparently tomorrow there's a live video cast to further introduce the PS2 team!

Brusi

notice TR on the left has a closed face helmet with a nub on the back of it and the TR on the right has a more open face helmet, except maybe with goggles? Other than helmet and weapons, their armor looks identical.

Customisation, or demonstration of different classes maybe?

Hmm. In the shot with the 2 TR, is it just me, or do they appear to have helmet visors that are pivoted up off the face, like the iconic knight's visor?

FIREk
2011-09-14, 10:16 AM

Not identical. The one of the right is the one we identify as the ReXO, the one on the left is what seems like an Agile equivalent.

Notice the shin guards and forearm armor on the soldier on the right. The one on the left shares the uniform, breastplate and knee pads, but lacks the two pieces I mentioned earlier. I think the "ReXO" also has that ridiculous "Eye of Sauron" belt buckle, not visible on this screenshot of course. ;)



Edit: Nevermind, I managed to watch the trailer and the Repeater looks the same. ;)

The TR are receiving less and less red in their uniforms every time. I love the quality of the models and textures, but the faction color scheme makes me want to puke. What's up with all of the factions being covered in an identical grey?

I realize they are shooting for a more "modern" and "gritty" feel, but it's so hard to distinguish between the TR and NC, I feel this is not the right direction to take the faction color schemes.

However, kudos for some top notch environments, those look very slick.

Customization is great, and all, T-Ray, but I worry that if there's a choice between "stands out as a target" and "blends in with the background," the former customization options a) won't be taken, because b) they'll be a liability.

It's a great idea to offer different texture patterns for armor, different armor/helmet shapes, etc. I worry about the notion of offering different thematic styles when it comes to camo/color.

Will there be any limits to color customization, though? Will there be anything stopping me coloring my TR char an unholy purple? ;)

It might be a good idea to make these camo patterns the default ones, depending on the cont's theme (grassy/jungle, desert, snowy etc.). Aside from being realistic and reasonable, it opens up doors for people buying the same customization stuff many times, only to give that stuff the appropriate color. ;)

Running around with HA/AV/Med/Eng/Hacking is not a role.

I'm so sorry you're going to have to play with other people in an MMO to be effective this time around, but honestly, with the attitude you have you would be doing the community a huge favor if you just stopped being interested in this game and went away.

Let's try not to turn yet another thread into the same debate thats been hashed and rehashed over and over.

T-Ray, the artwork is looking incredible. It's hard to comprehend a game can look that pretty and have the scale you are talking about. It's looking better than my wildest dreams. It's hard to keep my expectations in check when everytime a screenshot gets released, it looks better and better.

I never said you couldn't run with others, but you didn't need to. If I wasn't in a reaver I was running around with a jackhammer, phoenix, med tool, bank, cud, rek, plenty of ammo, and health packs. I never needed to rely on anyone but myself to do anything.

But that wasn't the point of my post. I was mainly just telling pointman to shut up or leave, because his attitude is shit.

I noticed in the shots that the TR with the repeater has heavier lower body armor, thigh and shin plates along with a toe guard thingy. The lone NC has similar leg armor upgrades. At that distance/resolution it's hard to tell for sure, but I don't think the NC has the toe guards.

I wonder if that's a cert unlock for this particular class, or a different class all together. Similar wonderings for the helmet.

I realize they are shooting for a more "modern" and "gritty" feel, but it's so hard to distinguish between the TR and NC, I feel this is not the right direction to take the faction color schemes.

This may have influenced the "no friendly fire" decision.

t-ray, if these screenies are all in-engine, are you still aiming for the same systemspecs, that were mentioned before? or do we have to get the newest topnotch alienware system to enjoy the game?

but seriously, i am very impressed by the quality of the models and the amount of customization.
could you please clarify, if the colorpatterns shown are battlerank 1 or highlevel?
i guess telling us that the patterns change with br like in ps1 to show a little more of the empire colors in higher ranks would settle down a lot of worried minds ;-)

by the way, great to see you are on the team! i loved the general design in planetside 1 and its wonderful to see a lot of this in modern AAA graphics!

The screenies are fantastic and all, BUT!

This comlink is written to us, the community members of PS1. We are adored and all, but we are just not enough (even if all PS vets come back at the same time) to maintain the epic scale of PS2.

Matt, just consider bringing the stuff to an audience without the positive bias of THIS commonity. Planetside2 will compete with shooters like the COD (whenever PS will come out, a new COD will come/has just came out considering the speed they are developing the new sequels), BF3 etc... You must convince them, not us!

I photoshoped that team photo but decided not to post it....

Dude, if only I wasn't under NDA I would show you some of the photoshops going around the office of those photos. Insanity.

Hey T Ray:

Whose the guy in the red shirt between you and Matt and why is he wearing lipstick?
CSR-DanB.

Dude, if only I wasn't under NDA I would show you some of the photoshops going around the office of those photos. Insanity.
Your red-shirt guy was already likened to Foreveralone.jpg so I can only imagine... like someone photoshopping a wolverine coming out of your half-open Miami Vice shirt - or maybe kudzu. Jokes aside, who's the dude on the far right? I know who the other three are.

So THAT's why the power was out. Man T-Ray - got to be careful with that.
With great power comes great responsibility. :p

Sorry Mars, but i start to believe that T-Rays manly, manly glare is better than your manly, manly voice.
You may want to talk with 321 in the rejected lounge.

The graphics look FANTASTIC! I'm going to be saving up all my monies and blow it all on a huge upgrade before game launch so I can maximize my FPS and eye-sex. My current box just barely plays modern games well enough

Where all the Vanu at, though? These TR and NC be hoggin the screenshot spotlight :(

See. TR are the Rednecks, NC are the Ganstas from da hood. They fight each other, because they dont know what else to do.

in the meantime, VS develop better weapons and play games. Once we feel like we want to fight for a bit, we just kick the door open and nuke those NC and TR boys to bits, with our own handcrafted lazor technology.

Thats how badass we VS really are.

I'm sure there will be settings for slower computers.

Personally I want this game to age well so supporting things like large texture resolutions and DX11 tessellation and fancy graphics and effects would be appreciated.
QFT on the tessellation. The difference it makes in Deus Ex is astounding. Subtle, but amazing.

Great job so far....its a shame that the more detail you put in... the more I'll be taking out for leet fps. ;)

seriously, I can't f'ing wait for this game. Thanks for making my dream come true and finally making the sequel to PS.

Me too, I've wanted another shot at PlanetSide for the longest. It will be Glorious

Really? So, when they started making PS2, they didnt hire you, but you just showed up in the office and didnt go away? :D

idk, i think i like the TR with less bright red OMG HERE I AM GIANT BRIGHT TARGET.... with the more "bland" look comes better terrain blending better stealth esp for night ops... which i hope kick ass. and why do the tr maxes look like giant red beetles with huge round eyes... epic fail nc and vs maxes look badass. cant wait to see more armor options and examples of huge ammounts of personalization...

WHAT??..

SPEAK UP!...

I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE LOUD NC COLORS!!

Didn't you play PS1? The trees are made out of the strongest material known to man. If the factions had made their weapons and vehicles out of wood instead of cheap, lousy metal...

That's good in theory, but.... How are you going to get the wood?

There may be less color in the armor because camouflage will play a bigger role in PS2.

I must say the game looks absolutely beautiful!

Personally I don't mind not seeing more Vanu armor or hardware because I know T-Ray's going to be good for it given his empire preferences, they're sure to be amazing.

And yea... I'm not even sure how the game looks as good as it does in those screenshots.

I was worried about the general atmosphere of Planetside being changed, but it seems i was wrong, the environments are starting to get that "alien", "planetside" feel to them, which is too awesome for words.

I have a concern. There is no third person in PS2, right ?

....somewhere....I need a building with a floor-to-ceiling mirror....so "I" can see how pretty I look in The Light of The Forge.

How can I possibily customize my toon to my liking if I can't see how my ASS looks in different cammo variations ?

BEAUTIFUL LOOKING GAME - Can't wait. I'm afraid I'm going to be staring at the terrain and new PS2 world for the first few months.....I'll be walking around everywhere staring and gawking...like a 5 year kid at Disneyland for the first time and too much sugar in my system....no clue of my surroundings...stumbling into an enemy base like a drunken tourist.

Can't wait. Keep the eye candy coming.

Frostbite2 better lookout.......FORGELIGHT IS COMING!!!!!!!

Frostbite 2 is nowhere close , compared of what you guys are making imo. Forgelight is much larger scale, there are no fake backdrop images, no shitty skybox pictures, its all rendered and thats why i like it :) keep up the excellent work
