View Full Version : The bi-weekly info cycle What do hope to see?

So it appears, judging from what was said on Twitter and during the Video interview that we can expect bi-weekly occurrences of those events. Last week we got quite a bit of info from the Twitter event (even though it was like pulling a needle from a haystack.)
Anywho what do you hope to get out of this upcoming week's event?

New screenshots! Game-play videos!

Little more detail or some examples of the customization for the objects in the game. Like revealing 4 upgrade/sidegrade/customize options for a single gun and the pro's and con's of each. Just so we can get a better feel for it.
And for extra fun and something that will keep the fanbase dicussing, have a "Whos that Pokemon?" bit but with vehicles. Don't reveal them, just have them blacked out and shown so we can still the general shape of the vehicle. I'm sure there would be a huge thread of guessing what each one is and its function.

Aside from moar screenshots it would be great to see a gameplay video in the form of one play session - no montage, doesn't have to be pretty, just a look of how playing the game currently looks like.
It should span two "lifetimes" (spawn, death, respawn, death) and at least one class/loadout switch (during respawn or at a terminal).
As for stuff that would be most worth seeing in my opinion:
1) MAXes in-game, ideally with varied weapons on both arms; especially the VS model, as I want to see the insanely cool concept art translated into the polygon/texture budget,
2) a comparison of the three empire-specific fighters,
3) a sneak peek of the heavy assault weapons,
4) concepts or in-game renders of NC and VS cloakers; I'm wondering whether or not they've got as much DAT ASS as the TR concept; if the concepts are male, I take this all back :p,
5) the Prowler,
6) the Sunderer.

This. I wanted to write this, but you beat me to it. :)
I think what you meant were stats, but I'm also very interested about visual changes that would, most likely, accompany these customizations.
The weapons we've been able to see the most were the Cycler, and afterwards the Gauss rifle.
It would be great to see some of the changes that can be made to their looks. Stuff like shorter/longer barrels, quick draw mag attachments, vertical front grips etc.

Info about the game world. Screenys of the map etc, i wanna know how a continent looks these days. :>
I really am dying to see the new HUDs. They said they would be a little different for each faction/class, and I'm itching for a peek at the views.

I think we should get as much info on the driver/gunner turmoil that is all over the forums
we should look at the top 4 or 5 threads on the day of the twitter feed and determine which topics are the most talked about and start there with the questions,it would also help Higby and crew,they could take a quick look at the forum and know what questions are coming first and be able to prep for them.

Ingame screenshots, gameplay footage et cetera. And also some information about the weapons and vehicles would be nice. So you get 1 or more screenshot(s) of a weapon/vehicle with some (background)information and stats.
Also information about the bases, towers and stuff. I also like to see the vehicle pads.

Screenshots of the Vanu empire, including (please!) the suits of armor, from Infiltrator to Standard to Heavy.
Also, I would love a list of the combat demolitions/engineering devices. Not the turrets so much, but the tactical devices; high explosive remote mine, anti-armor mine, and any others.

On a related note, it's cool that sniper rifles are empire-specific in PS2. :)

Id like them to cover a different topic each time with in-depth design principles and logic behind why they made the decisions they did and what their vision is for each topic.
For example, some good topics would be tanks, implants, area-affect weaons, medics, support, ES fighters, MAX, etc.
I much prefer good information and design insight on a specific topic over random ambiguous one-line answers to questions. That also means twitter is terrible for what im after. I think a podcast or article on PS2.com would be better. With screenshots and concept art of course.

I've seen it already, I mean THE REAL sniper rifle. The thing from your pic just resembles HSR. In the trailer it fires 2 shots without reloading. Doesn't feel like bolt at all. But if it is, then it's imba. I mean automatic OHSOK sniper rifle? Bullspam!

I'd love to hear some detailed explanation, or a description, of some battle flow and base captures, involving pulling vehicles and how resources work.
So basically a scenario of x happens, allowing y to occurr, then z.
That sort of thing.

Somethin interesting, new or exciting pics/info, would be cool to see a video clip, even if its fairly short, they need a good adrenaline shot for marketing cause its been awhile. Somethin that actually says PS for once, not more announcements of PS ideas they scrapped, we got enough of that. I'm hoping for somethin to help me bring back the friends who bailed after the solo-vehicles blunder and other non-ps stuff. I'm tryin to get the friends interested, but i'd like to have somethin to back up saying "its really not Battlefield 2.0, i swear, you'll like it!". (honestly i dont hardly believe that line myself anymore)

VS helmets. Seriously, I can't wait any longer. I need to see our agile helmet.
I'd like some more information on the gunner turrets for tanks. How powerful will they be. What will the types be? Can we expect an AV turret for the gunner?
I'd also like to see some pictures of a gunners turret on a tank. We've seen a shot of the Magrider with no gunner turret and we saw that Planetside Next version of the Vanguard, but I'd like some visual idea of how those turrets will look. Maybe we could get a picture of a Prowler with a gunner turret? Kill two birds with one stone?
I guess we will have to wait and see what the theme of the week is. On a more broad stroke like that, I'd like to maybe see a theme about mapping.
We could learn a little more about bases, base layouts, towers, the different biomes we will be fighting in, more information on environmental hazards (I'd love to see snow and ice be really arduous to fight in and on).

1) Finally a glimpse of the Prowler! Depending on whether it's ridiculous and ugly (PS1) or actually looks like a tank (fingers crossed!), I will either stay TR or give up and go play NC. :P
2) Some more info about empire-specific sniper rifles and AV weapons. I want to know if the sniper rifles will have identical stats (they should) and if AV weapons will use the same mechanic across all empires, or if they'll be vastly different from each other, for the sake of being vastly different from each other.
3) Pics of the Dyson, by popular demand,
4) An update on tank driving/gunning and buggies. I'm wondering if there were any new developments here.

It may be just a coincidence, but Higby did ask us what weapons we would like to see on twitter. So if I had to guess, I'd say it's related to this week's theme.

T-Ray asked the same thing 2 - 3 weeks ago and when I followed up on it he said he had screenshots of the things I asked for but marketing wouldn't let him release them yet.

I don't much care what kind of information we get as long as there's a LOT OF IT. I'm an info gourmand, not a gourmet. There's so much we don't know about. Lots of general information about one large topic (class list with some info on class-specific abilities/gear/skills), or scads of details on something specific (here's the New and Improved Punisher, it's skill tree, and all the attachments available for it, both common pool and empire specific).
Whatever. Don't much care. Just want.

Would definitely love to see some some shots of the Urban environments and what combat will look like within them. Also, inside of towers and bases would be cool too.
Also, SCREENSHOTS AND VIDEOS!!!!!! I need something I can look at and watch a million times before PS2 actually comes out.
The # thing we need are videos of game play, preferably of a big fight. That way I can link it to people to show them instead of having to say, "but trust me it will be huge and awesome!"
