Information Lulls

[Hamma]

Yea I know, spam. But I admin the forum.. ;)

I hate PR/Marketing information lulls it really sucks ass for the community who is waiting on every piece of info. Things really quiet down around here when we see nothing at all of substance.

Some new tidbit at least once a week can't hurt their push - heck I think we would all be happy with a single screenshot somewhere once a week.. :lol:

[Talek Krell]

Eh, I don't mind it so much. I spend too much time in here as it is, and I only browse the PS2 section. :p

[Hamma]

I fail to see the problem.. ;)

[TigerClaw]

I fail to see the problem.. ;)

im on training and supposed to be learning about powershell scripting and IPSEC. But im on here instead :rolleyes:

[Hamma]

Those things are boring anyway :D

Who uses powershell and it's crazy long commands.. ;)

i love microsoft so much.... :mad:

[RedKnights]

Yea I know, right Hamma? Nothing to look forward to on these 'off weeks' but at the very least we have some kind of schedule to look forward to with these biweekly themes they've got going, I hope next week's theme is "We picked Don Ferrone for our music" or "Meet the Dyson" :rolleyes:

[Brusi]

It's enough to drive one into checking the Tribes forum!

Oh the humanity!

[Hamma]

Not cool. :lol:

Although Brusi, I'd recommend checking your gmail as well.

[Peacemaker]

Def a boring week. A screen shot, a tidbit of info, a concept drawing, anything. Haha. Then again do you remember how bad it was before PS 1? I've had g/fs with not as tight pucker holes

[morf]

Hamma needs to step up to the plate and call and ask for some more exclusive screenies and a trailer asap.

You should have the direct number for the big red phone on smed's desk. If you don't, ask them why not.

[Goku]

Seems like causing a massive uproar gets Higby in and if things get real bad Smed comes in for more info. Any topics at hand that may cause that?

[FastAndFree]

You mean like "I heard from a reliable source that they are not posting info because they are too busy creating instanced raid content" ?

[Goku]

Thats what I'm talking about. Could say that is due to consoles. That will really get this forum going ;).

[Vash02]

How about we just ask for one SS of a tree? how about that Higby? just one freaking tree!

or a bush!

[FastAndFree]

I would like to see a screenshot of a toppled tree

[Tigersmith]

:( I hate these times. Hopefully we can get a gameplay video soon!! Been saying this the past 6 months haha :D:D

[ThGlump]

I would rather see nothing for long time, and then cover some game mechanic deeply. I hate releasing info by small pieces, and hints. It makes me fill unknown with speculations and i always think about worst possibility, and then loosing hope in success of the game.

So i rather take proper info once every few months than little bit every week.

[Raymac]

I need my fix too, but we are still a ways out from release. I'm sure when we get closer to "beeta" (you da man basti) then the new information will come faster and more furiouserer.

I'm jonesing pretty hard right now. Maybe we should make up some crazy rumor TMZ style, like "PS2 is on hold indefinitely because the Creative Director and the Senior Art Director got into a physical altercation over a tie dispute."

[Hamma]

:rofl:

As I mentioned in the AGN thread - we I am always doing this.. trust me. :lol:

[TacosWLove]

Yeah or even some new screenshots, with a glance of some new we havent seen thats really far away. Dont get me wrong, I really would like a bunch more, but I think they could easily do this just to keep us happy...

[Vash02]

Toppled trees? why that would ruin PS2 and spits in the eye of PS1!
*flounces out of thread*

[Lonehunter]

I've said before this marketing plan is too traditional, and sucks ass. A couple screen shots a week is totally within their ability, but they'd rather not be innovative.

I'm really getting tired of the repetitive information out right now. Of all the articles/interviews in the past few weeks all they do is state the same thing.

It's still early. They're not going to release stuff that is half-baked. Plus, with the bi-weekly themes, it appears they have a long term marketing plan. Patience my friend. I'm jonesing too, but we can get through this together. :cool:

[Crator]

Ya, I'm not complaining really. It does feel like the story week was a little weak. :P Some screenshots, or even comic art, to go along with the stories would have been the bomb!

[Hamma]

I will agree this Marketing is a bit to traditional, they have attempted some Twitter things but they don't have a ton of value either.

Speaking of Twitter:

"I got the green light to start tweeting some more BEHIND THE SCENES #Planetside2 dev goodness... Stay tuned!"

[Crator]

Oh yay!

[Miir]

Hopefully "BEHIND THE SCENES" means releasing something substantial and not photo's of an open concept office.

Shit I can stand up at my desk right now and see that anytime. :huh:

[Hamma]

:lol: Same here!

:D

But this does sound like it will have a bit more meat, fingers crossed :)

[Bags]

I imagine it will be information and pictures about their weekly wet t-shirt competitions.

[basti]

Just saw matts tweet. Woha, exited! Funny enough, i right now listen to the perfect tune to describe my exitmend
J-CUT & KOLT SIEWERTS - THE FLUTE TUNE (SOULPRIDE REMIX) - YouTube

[Marth Koopa]

I'm not sure if you guys were around for it, but Super Smash Bros: Brawl had a daily update blog thing leading up to release day. Each day would cover a gameplay mechanic or single piece of content. It was lead personally by Masahiro Sakurai (the lead director, like Matt Higby).

The internet was going mad balls over every little detail(I remember one time people were going bonkers over a couple clouds that looked like their favorite characters they hoped would be in the game), it was the biggest hype train I had ever seen. It was called the Smash Bros Dojo, and literally everything about the game had been featured in the blog.

Something like that for PlanetSide 2 would be awesome, say "PlanetSide Training Camp".

*nudge nudge Mr Higby nudge nudge*

[SuperMorto]

I fail to see the problem.. ;)

((Sorry quoted wrong post!!!)) Its should of been Hamma's first!

I totally agree m8, you hit the nail on the head, its a big shame they cant give folks anything at least once a week. And I watched the interviews the other day and if they say detail once more im gona puke!, Ok we get it, tech has moved on and the clouds will look nice but where may I ask is the VS pix? Either they have something to hide, its poor choice making or its going to massive....

Not sure what to think, but I can guarantee, dont wait to long SOE, other things will be coming and you will loose player!

That folks is a fact.

Morto.

[Bruttal]

Seems like causing a massive uproar gets Higby in and if things get real bad Smed comes in for more info. Any topics at hand that may cause that?

Create a new topic called Leaked Planetside Max suites

[Goku]

Create a new topic called Leaked Planetside Max suites

Such as the NC Scatt having a tripe shot at the range of 20 m. VS having unlimited jump jet and the ability to one shot anyone close to them with a light saber. Then the TR being stuck with a nerf gun that fires 100 darts a second.

[Logit]

Personally I used to troll this forum pretty regularly, now it's once or twice a week maybe.

At first the lack of information was bearable when there was so much to speculate about, but it seems the topic train is running dry and the new information is in the form of back stories rather than actual game play.

No thanks.

[Raymac]

Hamma, ask and ye shall receive. :lol:

Can you start a thread about me not winning the lottery? You seem to have the midas touch.

[Death2All]

I've been out of the loop for PS2 for awhile now. Maybe I've lost interest or the lack of information has deterred me. Never the less, it doesn't look I've missed anything, save from a few screen shots of people posing with the same guns and positions we've seen before in the same desert like background.

SOE has been good with information thus far, but a little more with a little bit more consistency would be nice. Like I said, the lack of information made me give up even looking at the game for awhile.

[Graywolves]

I can't wait to take a squad through Mount Lavastorm dungeon and get epic loot!
