Gamebreaker.tv covers latest PS2 vid

[Brokinarrow]

It's one of the first stories they cover on the show (show is called This Week in MMO). To summarize their view on it; production value of the vid wasn't impressive, but the actual gameplay footage looked promising.

They do tend to rant about the devs not sounding too excited and such for a while, but in the end to chat about how they can't wait for Planetside 2 to get released regardless.

[LZachariah]

Those FOOLS! The reason the Devs speak in normal tones is because they're EXHAUSTED from working 9 days a week on Planetside 2! Don't they remember seeing Higby knock back one Red Bull after another? Our Devs are fucking HARD CORE.

And Hell yeah; these reviewers BETTER be excited for Planetside 2 o.O

haha, yeah that's true, but only us hardcore fans know that stuff.

[Hamma]

10 minutes of making fun of the video we have seen, complaining about its resolution when it was uploaded by a community member..

I'll pass :lol:

[LZachariah]

Hahahaha, these guys are like "LOL, Vanu- everyone is gonna pick THAT faction!" They don't know anything about this game o.O

They barely DESERVE to be excited for this game o.O

[Canaris]

The A-G-N is way better anyway :D

[TheRagingGerbil]

Devs not excited?!?

Is this the very first video/news/blog/info they have seen on the game? Higby is probably one of the most energetic and charismatic devs I have ever seen.

Hmm, not impressed with gamebreaker...

On another note though, I think Hackney was trying to steal my soul. :hass:

[Ailos]

The A-G-N is way better anyway :D

+1

[Shogun]

but they are right about their claim soe should hire some better media guys.

hire a hot advertiser chick that talks about the game!
we love our devs, but higby is the only one who can really talk in front of a camera right!
i was scared by the death stare in the first few minutes of the video, as well!

get your headhunters ready to recruit her :

The Hackney Stare still freaks me out whenever I see it, but I stopped watching after they told the same joke two times in a row. I regularly comb for Planetside 2 coverage but I don't think we need to jump and make a new topic on every single mention that doesn't include new content or observations that we missed.

This foolishness should subside once we get this footage in HD, hopefully with some additional gameplay and a better sense of the scale.

[Shogun]

i don´t understand why the main ps2 site doesn´t have footage yet!
even if it were the same video the chinese have(, but in hd of course)

[Raymac]

Yeah, they make a good point about the Hackney 1000 Yard Stare. We've seen him in other things so we know he is a cool guy, but if that was your introduction to him...well yeah, I feel sorry for Josh. Whoever made that vid didn't put him in the best light.

As for them saying the devs don't act excited, I couldn't help but lol. I don't think Higby, T-Ray, PurrfectStorm, Arclegger, etc. could act any MORE excited about PS2. These Gamebreaker guys just haven't seen it yet.

Also, it was a bit silly that they are ripping on the resolution when it was posted by a fan who pulled it from the Chinese site. Whatever. I have a feeling the first "real" trailer will blow minds because even they concede that the gameplay is really hot.

So yeah, I'm sure SOE is on it, and we'll likely have to wait until the maxes are done before we see it, but they need to make a true trailer that is worthy of this epic game.

[kklkit]

This video is BS. Devs are devs, they are not a fucking community manager. They don't need to be very sociable or talkative to make great games.

Damn you free speech for once again showing how retarded people are!

[Shogun]

did you watch the full ps2 part?
they said that, too. their point (which is legit in my eyes) is, that this video should have featured a professional community relation manager instead of the developers.

i agree that the ranting they do is stupid, especially because the footage is not from the official mainsite. but after all, the chinese site is official, too. and the video came from there.

[Crazyduckling]

I'll be the community manager. Where do I sign up?

[Nobel]

Honestly, I agree with this Video and I think that only good things can come from (what I see) is the weakest part of the Planetside 2 Process so far.

The Devs are GREAT at interacting with the Planetside Veterans and those that love this game. So far though, I feel that they havent been able to convey the proper feeling to people who have never played Planetside, or arent particularly excited yet.

Even though this was placed on a site in China with a very different audience; however, as Higby said once its on the internet it is everywhere. This is a BIG reason Planetside 1 failed, failure to permeate the market from a marketing standpoint. The more pressure put on SOE here... the better.

Planetside 2: Trailer for Partnership with The9 - YouTube

[Tasorin]

Cut rate show is cut rate.

Those guys are clueless. Quite frankly all they had to do was a search on youtube to find the AGN monthly show to see the Higby stream where he gave us 3 hours of inside access to formulate a totally different opinion.

Reviewers that don't do there homework only lend credence to the fact that they shouldn't be listened too and that there reviews are suspect. Just ask EuroGamer about that when they gave DFO a 2 out of 10 and we trolled and stomped them into the ground for months over doing such a shitty job reviewing a game.

that´s the reason why most of the interviews are given by higby! he is the best in advertising the game so far! and in the last interview we read, he even managed to point out the differences to other shooters and why the world is waiting for ps2 (even when the world is not aware of it yet)

and i agree that the footage may have been pointed to an asian audience with a different mentality than us or europe. maybe the style was especially tweaked for that. it´s time to get something similar especially for our mentality as well, to prevent more ranting like in that coverage.

[Shogun]

yes! finally hd!

the stare is still there, but at least the quality of forgelight shines through now!

somebody going to comment on that gamebreaker video? put in links to the hd footage there!

[Raymac]

Fraking HD version makes the gameplay look beyond amazing. I...cannot...wait!!!

[Higby]

It's kind of unfair to criticize the talking in this video because it was intentionally slower than normal, over-enunciated since it was directed at a non-native English speaking population. When we go to China we always have to be careful to talk a bit slower than normal and it's tough to make that seem natural. I think that's the main issue that these guys are picking on, and it's valid, but theres a explanation for it.

[Tigersmith]

Gamebreaker..I dont mind it. Gary does a great job with the webcasts.

But they really dont know anything about this game, they briefly talk about it like once every 3 months. And they did not know this video was for a Chinese viewing audience.

Its ok guys. Planetside 2 will blow all of this away

see? it was especially made for the chinese audience!
thanks for stating this, higby!

now we wait in anticipation for a video made for us!
to show those gamebreaker guys their stupidity ;-)

That's what I figured was happening. Honestly, good Sir Higby, I think you should get with the guys at GameBreaker and other similar net shows at some point to get the word out for Planetside 2, pass along new gameplay footage to sites like those as well as our site here. As the host at GameBreaker said, he IS really excited for the game, but as he isn't one of us hardcore Planetside fans he's not on this site to get the quality info that we've been getting.

I felt pretty bad for Josh because I have seen him in videos before and he may be less expressive than you and T-Ray but he's not a creep. I know that there is some sort of stereotypes that exist about us bug eyed freaks over in China which I don't fully understand so it seems more likely that he was instructed to do it. Another possibility is that he had just consumed WAY too much coffee to try to recover from Jet Lag.

Thank you for getting it released in HD!

Lets be honest though, SOE has never been known for good trailers and my friends who don't play MMOs always point out how bad they look if I show them. I really don't get why SOE follow the same format every time they make a EQ2 trailer. Big letter flashing up with game play inbetween and some cheesy licensed music.

Like I linked in another thread, this is how you make a trailer a trailer to make people excited for the game...

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/life-in-red-dead/63316

What SOE normally does is makes a bad trailer that no one takes much notice of and the few that do just laugh at how bad it is. Even though this is in Japanese (I think) it got more of my friends excited for EQ2 than any SOE trailer did http://youtu.be/-ZuA_q6jbNA


I'm not saying this to insult people at SOE or anything like that. I want to see Planetside 2 be a hit and just need to point out that you need to make a trailer like that RDR one that shows the strengths of the game. You need to get footage of mass scale PVP and explain the tech to make sure people understand just what Planetside 2 is about.

The marketing for Planetside 2 has been so bad that I see a lot of comments of people saying this will just be another boring F2P FPS. People think Planetside 2 is instanced and small scale like Global Agenda or all them crazy Asian F2P FPS games.

I just hope SOE realises that marketing is everything, if it is bad then Planetside 2 wont sell.

Amazing. I don't know if this was pointed out when the original was found but at 0:47 the one guy left standing, with the yellow backpack, looks to be either a infiltrator/recon or light assault cause that weapon has a barrel that has a striking resemblance to a sniper rifle.

I think you are right. If you watch, it has a very slow rate of fire as well.

I'll pass :lol:

lol yea i saw this yesterday thought about posting it here, but yea, who wants to see some random dudes that really know nothing about the game talking trash about a video?

[sylphaen]

Yeah, they were clueless.

The9 video was very good imo.

And Josh Hackney's stare is awesome: you know he means business and they are serious about it !
:D

I'm still wondering what's his side though.
^^

[Shogun]

he is not nc!

he is not tr!

he is not vs!

he is VANU and he will haunt the battlefield to feed on your souls!

[sylphaen]

So THAT is where the black ops come from !!!
:scared:

[Shogun]

blackops are just the soul-less empty hulls of foolish vs soldiers sucked upon by vanu!
