"The #Planetside2 demo today will feature about 30 minutes of live gameplay. Really excited to show you guys the goods. #PS2GDC"

[Hmr85]

YES!!! We need it now. Give me.

Hopefully we get some good footage of all the factions. 10 minutes each of all 3 factions would be perfect.

[Bags]

My body isn't nearly ready... brb.

Hope the video we get is good qualty. I want to be able to show this to people if it's great.

[RedKnights]

I hope SOE is recording the demo themselves as well, I really want to show this to people too.

[MrBloodworth]

Bring on the popping in and out of vehicles and the rocket launchers from the pants.


( Yes, I am in a love hate relationship right now. I love her, I think she is gorgeous, we were really close friends for 5 years (PS1), but she (PS2 Design) keeps hitting me. Please excuse me. )

[Magpie]

WOOO looks like I'm watching Free 30min porno tonight

[Squeegeez]

Mother of god. I want to see the entire demo unedited in its entirety. Please tell me there's a way that's going to happen.

[Death2All]

Has anyone found a live stream/know exactly when this presentation starts?

Not to mention in proper quality

[Tigersmith]

They need to show this live.

[DayOne]

Want live stream :cry:

[Knocky]

They need to show this live.

I don't want it live...

Want live stream :cry:

I don't want it streamed...

I want it recorded in 1080 HD, properly downloadable and watchable on the 60" plasma.

[DayOne]

I want it recorded in 1080 HD, properly downloadable and watchable on the 60" plasma.

Both then.

[WiteBeam]

I'm going to be freeze framing all 30 minutes of it to see every little thing. I hope it's good quality.

[Synapses]

Do we have an estimated timeframe of when this will happen/start?

[polywomple]

yeah is this going on right now or something or tonight?

[Hamma]

Later today I believe - dunno when exactly.

[Synapses]

Later today I believe - dunno when exactly.

I know its today sometime Hamma, I was just wondering if we knew exactly when by chance. So I can keep my eyes peeled for any streams of it or anything.

[DOUBLEXBAUGH]

Higby's "T -20 hours" tweet went out at 10 EST last night, so that puts it at 6pm EST/3pm PST

[SniperSteve]

<5 hours to go then. :D Someone pester Higby to see if they are recording it in proper 1080p. :D

[DayOne]

Higby's "T -20 hours" tweet went out at 10 EST last night, so that puts it at 6pm EST/3pm PST

Is that 11pm GMT?

[DOUBLEXBAUGH]

GMT is 5 hours different from EST for 5 more days, so yes, 11pm GMT

[VioletZero]

I really hope it is direct feed and not cam footage.

[LZachariah]

I strongly agree with VioletZero (and I Tweeted Higby my preference :D )


~Zachariah

[Gandhi]

I don't think I can last 30 minutes...

[Tom Peters]

Oh man, uncut gameplay? Do want.

[Coreldan]

Except it's most likely cut.

[DayOne]

GMT is 5 hours different from EST for 5 more days, so yes, 11pm GMT

Hooray! Now I don't have to jack up on caffeine to stay up to date! :D

[Coreldan]

1 am for me then :/ I would manage, but my fiancee probably wants to go to bed earlier :D Not to mention 30 mins to watch it and its likely gonna be later when we actually get to see it.

[Synapses]

Why would it be so late at night? Its not out of country. Its in SF, CA... I have never heard of a conference going that late. They usually close for the night around 8 I thought.

[IceyCold]

Why would it be so late at night? Its not out of country. Its in SF, CA... I have never heard of a conference going that late. They usually close for the night around 8 I thought.

It will be 3pm in the afternoon in SF.

[WellWisherELF]

Except it's most likely cut.

They're going to demo the game live... Sorry but you can't cut that.

[Synapses]

It will be 3pm in the afternoon in SF.

DERP I saw "GMT" and was thinking "General Mountain Time" (Utah) lawl. I failed, I am sorry.

[Coreldan]

They're going to demo the game live... Sorry but you can't cut that.

Yeah, read that later on after I had posted, I thought it referred to the demo they talked about probably month ago that was shown internally and said that we will see at some point.

[Johari]

8PM is the fan meetup afterwards at a bar. Glad I have plans on going. Hopefully we'll get to see the footage sometime today beforehand.

[polywomple]

utility? curious.

[Death2All]

Nice, they kept some of the old outfit logos.

[Bags]

And 4 appearance slots, oh my~

[FastAndFree]

The new Reaver is definitely something I will miss.

And where is the Scythe love? When was the last time we saw it?

Utility Slot 2 looks like... a flashbang?

[AncientVanu]

And where is the Scythe love? When was the last time we saw it?



Absolutely! It's been ages since we saw anything about the Scythe, I can't wait to see this baby in action!

[DayOne]

Interesting to see if it flies any differently to the other aircraft.

[Shogun]

didn´t higby tweet concept art of the new remodeled scythe just some days ago? you know, with rainbow tail and a single horn on the front?

[VioletZero]

didn´t higby tweet concept art of the new remodeled scythe just some days ago? you know, with rainbow tail and a single horn on the front?

I don't think so.

Link pls?

[DayOne]

I don't think so.

Link pls?

:rofl:

[AncientVanu]

I don't think so.

Link pls?

he's trolling... I think :) "Rainbow tail" reminds me of the nyan cat, probably that's what he meant.

Edit: yeah that's what I thought :D

[DayOne]

With a horn? No sir, this be a brony troll!

[AncientVanu]

With a horn? No sir, this be a brony troll!

trolling or not the Scythe kicks ass and the sooner we see more of it the better!

[Shogun]

not trolling ;)

http://www.planetside-universe.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39239

we just misinterpreted the pic, it´s not armor, its the new scythe!
..
ok, might be trolling. hate to wait for the video ;)

[AncientVanu]

^^ lol that's not the Scythe, that's what the enemies turn into when hit by the Scythe's new super-duper experimental cannon. See VS scientists thought that instead of killing NC and TR soldiers, we could populate Auraxis with bronies, so they designed this Bronyfication cannon :D

[ringring]

Interesting to see if it flies any differently to the other aircraft.

In my mind's eye I am imaging it to be slow on the roll but fast on the yaw and bank. Will be interested to see......

[KALU]

Bloody hell! 30 mins wows hell yes! I hope they screen capture the hole 30 mins.

[Warborn]

It's going to be a 30 minute slide show of all the images they've tweeted over the past year.

[Wakken]

It's going to be a 30 minute slide show of all the images they've tweeted over the past year.

T_T stop saying stuff like this!

[Hydra]

:lol:.........:cry:

[Knocky]

:lol:.........:cry:

Initial reaction is to laugh....then he thinks about it......then he realizes that this could be true since Smed is in charge.

[Fenrys]

Hopefully they'll distract the velociraptors.

[Shotokanguy]

They have to do this right when I'm about to play Mass Effect 3, don't they?

Damn. I'll watch it later.

[Whalenator]

My body isn't nearly ready... brb.

Hope the video we get is good qualty. I want to be able to show this to people if it's great.

Not enough money to throw at the screen?

[Bags]

I used it all up last time.

[Tom Peters]

This is happening right now right?

[WiteBeam]

This is happening right now right?

In 40 minutes.

[texico]

And there's no way for us to watch the video?

That sucks >_>

[Atheosim]

Yeah wait a second, how exactly are we going to see this?

[Tom Peters]

We wait until it's over and uploaded then we watch it?

[Atheosim]

Then we really have very little idea as to when we're going to actually see this

[Xaine]

We wait until it's over and uploaded then we watch it?

Pretty much that.

I doubt we'll see it tonight, but we're all sat here salivating at the screen anyway.

[WiteBeam]

PlanetSide2 posted another pic about 10 minutes ago. They started the demo.
We will just have to wait till tonight when someone uploads a decent quality video.

[SniperSteve]

'attending' via twitter updates makes me sad. :(

[Cyborgmatt]

Pretty much that.

I doubt we'll see it tonight, but we're all sat here salivating at the screen anyway.
Actually there's a good chance we will:

By the way, don't want to seem like I'm plugging my channel but Ill be at the PS2 event today, and we'll be filming everything they allow us to and will be posting all the content to our channel immediately following the event. So check back later today after/during the event for video footage, possible interviews, and gameplay.

Can't tweet. Watching amazing #planetside2 demo. Omg. #ps2gdc


:clap:

[Xaine]

Actually there's a good chance we will:

I love you.

Would you like a drink? Foot rub?

[Boogster]

"Giant battle we're watching now has players working along side AI squad members. Amazing team work, considering. #planetside2"

that's from @massively

AI team members?!

[VanuMAXGuy]

AI is DEFINITELY just for demo purposes.

[Sabrak]

AI team members?!

That's for the demo.

How could they show huge battles without AI team members since there is only the PS2 dev team playing?

[duomaxwl]

AI is DEFINITELY just for demo purposes.
This.
Actually.
No, game will have AI.
/startpanic

[Boogster]

I'm not trying to stir, but do we know it's just for the demo?

[Sabrak]

I'm not trying to stir, but do we know it's just for the demo?

*sigh*

Of course we do...

They've said from the begining is PvP only.

[Fenrys]

There won't even be spitfire turrets, and non-player base defenses have been built, tested, and then removed. Why would there be straight-up bots for anything but a demo of massive battles with few human players available to participate?

[WellWisherELF]

I'm not trying to stir, but do we know it's just for the demo?

Fully functional AI takes an extreme amount of time and resources to develop, especially for something the scale of PS2. So unless all the AI is coded to do is roll foward in the tank constantly shooting, I'd expect it to see it's way into the final product in one way or another. A possible use of this would be for a tutorial mode, where a large scale battle is simulated using AI to give new players a feel for the game.

[wasdie]

There wont be any AI on the live servers that's for sure.

They are probably just trying to fill the continent. A continent that is supposed to house 1500 players would look really damn empty if only 20-30 people were playing.

That was my initial reaction too. Will be interesting to see what Higby has to say.

[VanuMAXGuy]

He retracted his AI comment:

"Correction! No AI. Sorry about that #planetside2"
