[Bags]

Fucking sexy.

[Saintlycow]

Laser pointer on the side of the gun

[DayOne]

Lasers. Sweet, sweet lasers.

EDIT: also a confirmation that the side rails can be used. I assume you could put a torch the other side or switch them up if you wish!

[atone]

gauss looks like it got some texture upgrade and sight. Very cool;)

[Synapses]

Very cool, but I know I was thinking this the other day so I am going to say it.. WTH is up with Higbys desktop icons?

[Geist]

Beautiful. And Gauss is still rockin'(although I still prefer the new Cycler ;) )

[Knocky]

I really wish I knew what the system was that is running these.

Or at least the GPU

[Death2All]

Wow :eek: That looks amazing.


The detail on the weapon, the lighting and shadows from the railing.


Think I might just get the game to look at all the pretty environments :love:

[CrystalViolet]

Anyone else notice that the rear sights are attached to different points of the rail in the 3 most recent pics? Really hope this is a feature that allows you to adjust how the sights look when the gun is shouldered. :)

This PC is rocking SLI GTX 580s which is serious overkill for PS2, but I run at 2560x1600 most of the time... And I have to be able to play the game when there is no optimization done.

Holy moveable sights batman!

Seriously, nice catch. As Higby is here, will this be the same for all sights and is it purely aesthetic?

only noticed it because it was something I suggested back when T-Ray was asking for attachment suggestions on twitter. :love: The long rails on all the guns were also a tip off.

I can't imagine these screens if you took them with print screen instead of a camera phone.

[BloodySoul]

That is one really amazing tree. I call dibs on that tree. NO ONE CAN TOUCH MY TREE!

[Hamma]

The trees do look amazing. lol

And yes Bags agreed - they would be crazy!

If 2 580's is serious overkill, how well might one 460 run it? I was considering upgrading but if my current card can run it maxed out then there's no point.

I doubt anything he can tell us at this point will matter, since it hasn't been optimized. Though he told someone a 560 TI would be "bitching", and a 460 is only like 10% slower.

[Grognard]

For the Fn sake of all thats holy, let us in the damn game... I promise I will not have any fun, I will just test my ass off... :wantbeta:


Edit: Nice pic... inspired my whine.

[Shogun]

the beauty!

look at the details they pump into something like stairs!
really, noone will ever complain over bases getting boring and looking dull again!

[arclegger]

Shout out to @xanderclauss I recognize that outpost. It was built by him.

[Shogun]

thanks ;-)

xanderclauss, yor work looks beautiful!
cheers!:groovy:

a question about those trees:
are they static, or is there any kind of movement in the leaves?
they look awesome!

[Hmr85]

Stunningly Beautiful. Awesome work xanderclauss.

[Fenrys]

Is the laser pointing up and to the right compared to where the glowing dot appears on the far building?

[DayOne]

Looks like a reflection off of something.

[Death2All]

I'm noticing those rectangular bunker like buildings everywhere, especially in bases.


I have some inkling that these are the spawn rooms, and that there can perhaps be multiple ones per base? Am I late to the party? Have they been explained?

[Skittles]

Thats very nice. It leaves me to believe theres actual movement of the sun then? As in a flowing shadows affect throughout the game. Dawn has long shadows, noon is highest visibility, dusk, night, ect.. Nice SS.

Yes.

Epic engine is epic. :cool:

Love the way things are looking. I looked at this last night with PS_Tray's tweet on the reflex site if you look at that image ( http://yfrog.com/odcvbrtj ) and then pull up the original teaser trailer ( PlanetSide2_h264.mov - YouTube ) and pause that at 0:22 you can compare how much further we have come along with the weapons alone.

[Shogun]

red, thst´s really true! nice comparison!

the screenshots keep getting better and better! your fingers must be smoking and i guess you all get your coffein intravenous or got some form of gene therapy that enabled you to work 24/7 without any sleep?
now go and clone the whole dev team several times, to get the beta up yesterday ;)

That was me :) thank god as ive bought the thing and i dont wanna upgrade again lol

[SniperSteve]

This shot reminds me of Crysis.

Looks so pretty. Let us help you test it! :wantbeta:

(please!)

THat's some awesome stuff didn't even think to do that :)

At 00:28 what is the TR in the back left doing with his hands? It looks like Buzz Lightyear calling on his wrist radio.
Pausing frame by frame you can see all kinds of cool shit. Looking down from the sky at all the guys fighting, you can see one jump jetting off some rocks while shooting.

Patience.

Let them prep up a good build for us. Then we can have fun..erm...finding bugs...o_o

[Khellendros]

Wow, this game is going to be my life once it's out, haha.

[cellinaire]

Kudos, PS2 Devteam !!

(and of course, this wonderful community!)

Maybe Pip-Boys have made their way to Auraxis.

Watching Dora the Explorer on his Squad Leader wrist pad?

So this is an Outpost? Not a tower, not a base, not a field, or a canyon.

I just can't get over how awesome that is, it gives them so much more freedom to make a small village/outpost where ever they want, then slap some bonus resources on it.

There could be certain outposts built into mountains, caves, on a hill, that would be just as much fun to fight for as a "base".

Imagine a City Continent!

[Shogun]

in the pc gamer article a "city continent" is mentioned... a destroyed one, littered with ruins and broken highways and stuff.

if this is true, we will all totally freak out when we get to see it ;-)

Higby has alluded to this before, if the city ruins are done well it will be truly epic with great building to building CQC.

[Mastachief]

Did he build a little plague on the outside that says "Hand built by...in.."

[Geist]

That would be the new Esamir, with it's frozen, ruined cityscape. :D

Can't fucking wait, urban combat was always something I wanted so badly in PS1.

oooooh almighty higgles please please please if esamir is already far enough in developement to enter it with a soldier, look for a nice spot and give us at least a blurry shot! just to give us a general idea how it will look!

[WellWisherELF]

That ramp looks awfully small considering a massive battle for that building might break out at any time.

[MonsterBone]

Take my damn money NOW!!!!!!!!!!

Damn it looks way better.

Edit: Once we start talking more about "Urban Combat" SOE could pull an April fool's joke, make a promotional vid for "Urban Combat". It could be this sweet cave where you can't see anything around you, except these random lazers that bounce around everywhere. No night vision either, and everyone's clip size is doubled!

I have no interest in said continent.

Thanks for the benchmark Higgles. Many of our clan and the community are considering a tech refresh for those that didn't do one for the Skyrim/BF3 cycle of releases. The expectation in our Clan is that the BF3/Skyrim benchmark for playing on High settings and pulling at least 50fps would be sufficient to handle PS2 graphically speaking and leave the question marks with client stability and latency. We are planning on a comparable system to a SSD OS/PS2 - i5-2500k - 8Gb Ram - 560GTX-ti - @ >/= 1920x1080 - Ping < 105 - 6mb/s ISP as an acceptable baseline for enjoying what you are creating and still min/max'ing in order to Crush! If Bulldozer and Ivy Bridge teams can get their act together and release before GW2 and PS2 go live we could even get a discount before the last stages do a tech refresh.

In addition, way to rep the NC. Someone has to balance out T-Rays Vanu love. I like the wash out by atmosphere effect at distance in order to force the fight in the box of LoS and make range matter.

Tactics +1

[Jamini]

It's... it's so beautiful.

Seriously though, I really can't wait for PS2 to go into beta. I can't wait to get my hands on an assault buggy or two (you still have them... right? Right!?) and go careening over those hills with my outfit mates.

I just built a new PC a little over a month ago and put a single 560 ti in it (can always add a second down the road for SLI if needed). So far, every game I've thrown at it runs max resolution on ultra-high settings. When combined with SOE's claims that the ForgeLight engine is designed to autoscale down to roughly 5 year-old GPU hardware, then Higby's comments don't surprise me at all.

[SuperMorto]

Looks like Halo?

[Knocky]

>we will all

That's ok, there aren't many people interested in Esamir as it is now.

Then again, if there is winter camo then Esa might be fun indeed with snow, ice and city ruins everywhere.
