Please tell me the people responsible for this will never be a part of PS2!

[Vash02]

Ideally jets should have a significant cooldown period. It would be so irritating if people could just spam them.

[SKYeXile]

id pay for wings in PS2, provided they were butterfly wings.

[Magpie]

WTF was that peace of crap, it was just some ugly winged bellends flying around to clown music

Was that a joke trailer? The maker seems like he/she was high lol they should sack the person in charge

[EVILoHOMER]

It has to be one of the embarrassing things I've ever seen! I bet the person who put those stupid bat wings into SWG done this, I knew things in EQ2 were bad, didn't know they were this bad. I so hope they don't get the person who makes the EQ2 trailers to do the Planetside 2 ones or the game will flop so hard lol.... kinda like what EQ2 did.


I don't understand why content made for SOE MMOs always sucks after launch. It's like the development team gets cut down to like 10 people and everything just sucks in quality compared to what was made pre launch.

[SuperMorto]

I know what will sort this shit out right now

Fortunately for us, EQ is in a different building.

Unrelated tweet from Luperza stating that EQ is in Building 3 and PS is Building 2.

I'm glad that I'm in building 2 and not building 3. They have crabs over there... O__O #EQ

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

[Crator]

So, I get it... People got bored of playing EQ2 and decided to go check out Aion. Then they got home sick and came back to EQ2 and said, damn, I need wings! So they cried to SOE to give them wings in EQ2 and boom... There ya go!

[CrystalViolet]

kill it with fire.

[Soothsayer]

Offensive in all aspects.

Yes, this is the rainbows wings i would pay for.

[Draegon]

We need wings in planetside 2. Screw jetpacks!
500 purple barneys flying in from the air with their purple wings laying siege to dem bases, now were talking!

[Higby]

So am I hearing that you guys wouldn't be excited about player Pegasus wings in Planetside 2?

I'm going to have to revise the entire business model now, thanks a lot.

[Hamma]

:rofl:

I think you guys can calm down.. different games.. differnt focus. :p

Noooo, they would have been accseptable, if the butterly wings were not avalible.

next I'm going to find out you don't want unicorn mounts or enchanted cudgels which have the power to smite the undead??

I know this may come down hard on you Exile, but...



That vid...


It is actually...

Can I do this to him? Can I tell it?

...


It is...

A fake. There I said it. It is a fake, a phoney, not real, not true, not in this reality or the next.


I am really sorry to be the one responsible to have smashed your dreams, but one of these days, someone had to bring it to you. :(

[Figment]

Hey Higby, could we discuss plans for the next big trailer or for one post-beta? As some mentioned in another topic we can stage a big fight for you to get some footage you need!

Next to their ideas of some player made and scripted trailers, PS2 trailers should simply show utterly massive scale. Instead of zooming IN to the fight like in the previous trailer, start small with infantry vs infantry, then a tank crushes some of them, which then gets crushed by aircraft, which get shot down again. Zoom out to show this scene to be a tiny part of a base assault. You could show the calling by a commander for an orbital strike. Then you see the satelite target and zoom to the map location (like in previous trailer) see it position and aim 'Golden Eye' style and see it go off on a fortified CY entrance for instance. >.> Then have an armada of tanks and troops move in on the base, as defenders rush to defend the breach. Hell, you could end the trailer with a full scale ambush backstab assault from an overlooking hill by the third empire.

Zoom further out from there, show the bigger battlefield overview between the three empires of people fighting not in just say a canyon over a tower, but over the base, the countryside, the entire continent! And then zoom out again, showing the world full of continents and ask where the viewer's loyalties are.

Something like that... Just make it look so incredibly epic and give a good sense of the massiveness of the battles, that people want to see more and simply can't even begin to compare it with smaller scale FPS games. :P

[LZachariah]

That is monstrously stupid. And it is a TERRIBLE trailer. Ugh. That MUSIC! O.O

[FastAndFree]

next I'm going to find out you don't want unicorn mounts or enchanted cudgels which have the power to smite the undead??

Pegasus or bust!

[SniperSteve]

ROFL! This trailer is so bad it is funny.

Does SOE know their logo is at the end of it?

[Xaine]

I used to love Everquest 2, i have all these nostalgic memories of it as my first proper MMO.

After seeing that, a small part in me died. That is the most heartbreaking thing seeing a game like Everquest 2, which was amazing, having stupid shit like that put into it. If game devs ever wonder why their games die, then look no further.

Even if the video is a joke, which i hope to god it is, the wings are just the dumbest idea ever. Just so obviously following WoW/Aions lead, about 3 years too late and with something that just looks terrible.

I'm sorry if you read this Higby, i'm a massive fan of your work for Planetside 2, but SoE seem to take every game they make and crush the fucking life out of it with both hands with the worst design decisions imaginable. Happened with SWG, with EQ2 and to a lesser extent, Planetside with Core Combat.

I'm certainly no developer, and there must be reasons why these decisions are made, but i'd love to see the rational behind some of these choices and/or sit in on the design meetings.

God save Planetside 2. Keep these people away from it Matt, please. :(

[Lonehunter]

ZOMBIES Confirmed in PS2 yay!

[Zenben]

I had to think for a second and make sure it wasn't April 1st when I heard Ride of the Valkyries. That looks so stupid... Aion anyone?

[cellinaire]

....?

Obviously, you are one of these NGE/BFR refugees aren't you? ;)

[EVILoHOMER]

....?

Obviously, you are one of these NGE/BFR refugees aren't you? ;)

These are all the MMOs I've ever liked;

EQ
EQ2
PS
SWG
EVE Online
WoW


As you can see Four of the Six are from SOE and every time they say they've learnt from their mistakes, they fuck it all up again. I'm not just biased towards my SOE hate because I hate Blizzard nearly as much for ruining WoW. The only MMO that has been managed well is EVE Online, after all these years they've stayed true to what we like about that game. Yes CCP have been focusing too much on that walking in Stations stuff, however it was a move that needed to be taken for the future.

I just know I'm going to love Planetside 2 and then six months down the line someone is going to think it is a good idea to add these wings to the item store to replace your jetpacks.

[Tikuto]

Does SOE know their logo is at the end of it?
rofl :rofl:

[Ailos]

I DARE them to incorporate something like that into PS2. As long as they make those guys proper AA targets (susceptible to sparrow/quasar/flak).

(EDIT: no, really, I dare them to even try that during beta)

[Oryon22]

That's all kinds of turrible

[ARosaria]

No!

[psimonk]

I know it's easy to just make fun of this or brush it off, but it really does concern me. It's amazing how I have loved the concept and/or beginning of nearly every game SOE has made but they consistently and steadily milk loyal players for money and make baffling gameplay/style choices to the point where I swear them off for life once again. Be careful when you say "oh it couldn't happen to MY game" because while I love Higby and the PS2 devs interaction thus far, the same people are ultimately at the helm and approving these decisions.

The main reason I hold out hope for PS2 is because they are developing it with a freemium model from the very beginning, so we hopefully won't end up with another EQ2 that tripple dips (sub, cash shop, and expansions) from it's own fanbase and following every lead WoW gives it to stock the cash shop with overpriced items that ruin the flow and style of the game.

[Biscuit]

Ya........ im going back to the office to do overtime.
Screw this.

[Tikuto]

SOE has one more chance from me, if they don't listen or break shit we beg them not to, then I'll leave without a word said.. i won't even troll...... I'll just go...

I'll do same tbh. There's other great MMOs coming. If shit happens I'm gonna fall safe on World of Darkness, which gonna be so awesome I believe.

[Tasorin]

:rofl:

I think you guys can calm down.. different games.. differnt focus. :p

Same company.

Speaks directly to the previous debacles with PS, SWG, and EQ2.

This is the kind of crap that gets green lighted or pushed downward by the suits over at SOE. They don't have a very good track record over the last 12 years and SOE has proved time and time again they can pull defeat right out of the jaws of victory.

Planetside 2 is a great chance for SOE to reverse its fortunes and regain some of its swagger and remove the tarnish from there past transgressions.

[sylphaen]

I think Higby and T-Ray have some of their own pride tied to the game.

We're safe from angel wings until they downsize the dev team.
:doh:

[Figment]

Then again Brewko is on the team and he might think of sci-fi wings as a jetpack upgrade.

[Crator]

:doh:

Ah yes, but the fear is that, years after PS2 has been out and the original dev team has moved on to new projects, that SOE will ultimately do something to the game to screw it up....

[Xaine]

Ah yes, but the *FACT is that, years after PS2 has been out and the original dev team has moved on to new projects, that SOE will ultimately do something to the game to screw it up....

Fixed.

Lets hope its years, and not months.

[Shogun]

they said there is a 3 year plan after launch. i hope the original dev team will at least stay with the game for these 3 years.

so we might be safe for more than 6 months this time.

we must find a way to enslave the devs to ps2 after 3 years... maybe something like eve is trying to do with dust514. bringing another game to auraxis, and let those two games influence each other or interact directly! this way the devs have challanges waiting for a long time, and cannot move on too far away from ps2 ;-)

[FriendlyFire]

"Wings, the new BFR."

[BlazingSun]

What's all the fuss about .. all we would need in addition to the wings would be a soundtrack from Queen!

Flash Gordon Hawkmen vs Ajax - YouTube

[Shogun]

holy shit... just checked the eq2 site and realized this wings "trailer" is NOT fake!
i thought that was a funny joke!!!!!!!

shut down everquest and make a flash gordon mmo instead. or even better a flesh gordon mmo! oh and strap those wings on everybody that was involved in making this blockbusting trailer!
then push them from the roof of the soe building...
