Nope, the bit about GDC is taking up too much of the screen.

These "behind the scenes" twitter pics never cease being awesome. This game is looking so pretty, I really can't wait to jump in. I'm really exciting seeing the Reaver in flight.

By the awesome pictures, the even more awesome Reaver in flight (ME WANTS!), and by Higby's crazy desktop background (Dafuq man?!)*

haha should have kept quiet about the desktop icons. Now look what you made him do.

So, what do we think the facility is? Id say either a Tech Plant, or Bio Lab.

biolab / tera forming facility.

So, base shields.

I noticed that unlike PS1 capital shields, the outer walls are not included and it seems sections of the base aren't either.

So. Bets on there being some shield gen or something you need to take out first?

Will we be seeing a lot of people doing hit and run with units such as aircav from these shields again?

The pictures are cool. I am really digging the look of the new Facility's. They just look awesome.

Am I mistaken in thinking that this is the first time we've actually gotten a look at the back of the Lib? It's kind of hard to tell, but I'm pretty sure I see what looks like a ball turret.

On Higgle's icons: OH GOD MY EYES! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY EYES?!

By the way, I don't want to make a thread about this, but do women just not exist on Auraxis?

I haven't seen any screenshots that have any women in them. Which lead me to believe that, in order to cut costs, they explain that people reproduce by cloning or something. I was hesitant to say "Men and women of Auraxis" because I was afraid I was going to stick my foot in my mouth by mentioning women when they went extinct or something.

Never played PS1 though so feel free to correct me on this. If there are women, how come we haven't seen any screenshots of them?

I fully admit I laughed out loud when I saw the desktop. Well played sir, well played.

My favorite voice of all time in PS1 was one of the females...it was that "clueless / rookie / airhead" one... makes me *lol* just thinking about it.

V-V-E

Violet,

Not sure why we haven't seen any females in game, however we have seen some female infiltrator concepts and/or renders so they are in game for sure.

Higby will make it exciting and juuuuuust miss the tree while doing a roll (no, not a barrel roll).

VioletZero

2012-01-25, 09:40 PM

There are women in some of the screen shots, so long as they have the same physical size as men that's fine let have no more female agile crap.

Can you show me one?

im not sure if any are ingame except maybe the infil, but there is some concepts around.

Omg, can't wait to try out the lib. Need more details!

CidHighwind

2012-01-25, 10:29 PM

So I couldn't help but TRY to see through the desktop camoflage, even though I figure Higby is trolling us :-).

I see that most of the original icons are on the top of the screen, and it IS possible to see SOME of the text below them. Some of the particulars that I noticed were what appears to be a Fios works icon. I can only assume this means that Planetside will be run through fiber-optic cables, and connected directly to my brain for maximum immersion.

In all seriousness though, if Higby ISN'T trolling us, then I do see a lot of sound editing/ sound levels programs hidden in that mosh. Perhaps a hint at the next theme week?! MUSIC! :doh:

That Liberator looks amazing. Also seems to be massive, could we get a side by side size comparison between an infantry and the Lib possibly?

Zenben

2012-01-26, 12:22 AM

I like that the Lib is much bigger this go around. I wasn't a fan of the fact that you had to squeeze 3 people, over 100 bombs, and almost a thousand rounds into something the size of the PS1 lib. Seemed a little silly.

And the wallpaper.. We all see what you did thar, Higby.
So the milestone thing is legit? Trololol...

Higby will make it exciting and juuuuuust miss the tree while doing a roll (no, not a barrel roll).

The tree will probably move into his new path though. They are evil like that.

For some reason that made me think of all the times my BFR, and others I've watched, have gotten stuck on a shrub not even a foot high, but it can walk over a 7ft tall boulder.

Another annoyance was getting caught on twigs when you're dodging inbetween trees in a Libby or Reaver.

Trees also had this nasty habit of quickly moving in front of your Thunderer while you were typing and unable to steer. Diabolical beings these things with telepathic powers.

Exoskeleton

2012-01-26, 09:09 AM

That shield or force field on the 2nd picture, does it stop only projectiles and energy weapons or it is also a barrier for vehicles and infantry? For instance if I fly my Scythe into it am I going to go through it or I'm going to blow up?

Shogun

2012-01-26, 10:06 AM

when you fly your scythe you are going to blow up! no matter if thereis any forcefield involved...

That doesn't matter much as long as I take more enemies down before I blow up. The life of a single pilot and its Scythe are just tools that can easily be sacrificed on the way to global Victory.

I cannot confirm or deny that trees are sentient and have skill trees in PS2.

Trees should have tentacles that grab everything within 10meter radius.

I don't know whether to be thrilled or terrified that this is what someone helping make the game is saying. I have a feeling they could throw something like this into the PlanetSide beta test just to mess with us.

Now that would be a challenge breakthrough in MMOFPS games !
