That was a pretty awesome video!

I think I need one of those planetside 2 diapers now

Cannot wait to get my AA geared Magrider out and have some fun... :evil:

Seconded.

[Murph]

"we did yesterday on our beta server!" stop fucking with us

[Knocky]

That was a pretty awesome video!

Especially from our NC Freedom loving perspective!

:rofl:


I swear it looks like those Reavers were drifting around their turns like a car.

[Raymac]

Higby corrected it by saying it was on their internal QA server, NOT I repeat NOT on the Beta server...."yet".

[Nobel]

New Logo at the end.

[Mod]

Lots of Reavers flying about kicking ass!

[Higby]

That was on our beta server, but with internal QA, not external testers.

[Bags]

WoW.

[duomaxwl]

Towards the end, is that the first shot we've gotten of the liberator shooting its under-belly cannon? Or am I mistaken?

[ichebu]

Well, my coworkers are now all aware of my nerdom after exclaiming "HOLY CRAP!" while watching this video. I think I need me one of those diapers...

So, they've got a beta server...all they need now are beta players ;)

Oh man, I have tears in my eyes, tears I tell you

THE GAME IS BF3 REMASTERED. BF3 TOOK MY WIFE AND CHILD. BF3 TOOK MY JOB. BF3 IS COD INCARNATE. I HATE COD INCARNATE. I HATE THE DEVS BRINGING THIS UPON ME AND I HAVEN'T EVEN WATCHED THE VIDEO.

Got that out of the way.

Seriously the games looks great. I want to name my future daughters higby and tray.

Tears of laughter now. Can't take it any more.....this...this...rollercoaster :cry:

[Crazyduckling]

Beta server is currently operational, although there are no external beta testers yet.

Boys, suit up for E3. We might just show some punks how Planetside works.

And who parks them all so neatly together? Pfffff, completely ruined my immersion.

[QuantumMechanic]

It was great to see so much air-to-air action, a first for us sofar.

But the big takeaway here is that they have their beta server up and running which I assume was recently built as this was the first we've heard of it, and the tweets boasted "recent test on our BETA server".

Sounds like the start of beta is just around the corner...!

I've been watching the video many more times.

Have you guys hired someone new for the trailers? Shit is blowing my mind. I'm having nerd chills over here.

Everything about that video screams PS1 v2.0 to me. Just look at the old youtube outfit videos of air raids,except now we can do barrel rolls and canyon runs and some badass explosions and laser beams and tracers and sshit.

ssshshhiiiiitttttttt.

truth hurts guys , i know it does , its like sticking a knife in then twisting it and then twisting it and then pushing it in some more , watch the bloody video and then tell me that this is not BF , i'm suprised they never put any flags in on any of the capture points , oh and i don't recall flying out of bounds in the original game

Looking like and playing like BF isn't a problem. We just need to get the TTK up a bit and make sure we don't have Disabling and that kind of thing.

PS2 has already beaten BF3 in my mind just by not having meatgrind maps.

[RSphil]

holy crap. loved that vid. after seeing the NC aircraft i think i know who im gona try when i play. love the look of them.

In the original if you went too far out, your vehicle died. Though while I agree that I think they could make it a little farther out based on TB's video, the way you are bringing up your concerns is stupid. Mostly because you're commenting on the wrong damn video, but also because you present yourself as a 15 year old kid.

[dpranker]

yeah its definitely better to randomly explode and not give you a message

but oh wait they did it in battlefield guess they're the same game now

There has to be an out of bounds or else imagine how much land the game would have to load just because of 1 person flying 10 kilometres away from the continent, all games have a boundary, without it then you will have serious problems of people flying away. And these boundaries are only at the very edge of the continent, you won't find one in the middle of the map, well i hope not, so stop stirring up trouble and be quiet.

[CrystalViolet]

Awesome vid, but Flight of the Val curies? Really? Couldn't have pick a more cliched track that in no way fits the sci-fi theme of this game. Sorry to bitch and I do really appreciate how cool the visuals are, but I think a remix is badly needed.

From my experience all players are 12 year old american kids that yell every time they die, so he is probably not 15, maybe 12 or 10.

to be honest it does look awesome , it just annoys me that the developers are running battlefield on another computer and then saying lets copy this and lets copy that and lets make the mossie sound like a jet , lets put capture points in the name em A B C D and E like what in bf3 . it just looks to me like the developers and getting all their inspiration from bf3 rather than the original game planetside

What I find fucking hilarious is that you think naming base objectives A B C D E in the GUI as somehow taken from BF3.

Get real, BF3 did not implement the alphabets or really half of the stuff you think is even ripped from BF3, even if BF3 may have been the biggest title to implement certain things this far.

There's no point in reinventing the wheel either, PS2 also has to cater to some of BF3s audience as well. The game will not be succesful if it's just gonna be Planetside 1 all over again. Planetside wasnt really even a commercial success for many reasons.

[Gogita]

lets make the mossie sound like a jet

Were they supposed to make it go "BZZZZZZZ" like a mosquito? hahaha, you're so hilarious :lol:

Would you rather them name them alpha,beta,the generator piece off to the left,the smaller generator piece that isn't left but isn't right....your arguments are absolutely pointless,the entire continent is our capture ground,not just one base.

Strange you have

100's of vets
outfit leaders
new folks
ex BF3 folks
devs

all thinking it looks amazing.

You could be right and your entitled toy our opinion. But look at the stats and wait for beta to full make up your mind. Or you will come across as a troll.

Just my opinion.

Edit I actually think you love BF3 more than us all, you never stop going on about it.

infact this will be my last post on this subject , but lets do one thing 1st and this is for the developers , load up planetside and then load up planetside 2 and play the games on two computers side by side and then set up another computer next to the other two computers and load up bf3 , see what i mean ?

On an unrelated note, where's Tikuto?

[Kurtz]

From a marketing perspective I'm not sure its a great idea to show a bunch of empty tanks and ATVs sitting there getting nuked. Its like "hey we made this cool game but we don't have enough QA folks to internally test it".

The game looks great and the flight mechanics look fairly good. There are some developers here at work looking over my shoulder nitpicking some of the physics on the flight. Particularly the scythes abilty to nose down to almost 90 degree angle without losing any lift.

From a BF2/BF3 veteran's perspective, I felt the PS1's old Hack and Hold was the best game mechanic ever in a FPS and that going to a BF Conquest system wasn't the best Idea, but we'll see how it plays out in Beta.

[Ieyasu]

And who parks them all so neatly together? Pfffff, completely ruined my immersion.

they said ai might be in 5 year plan. maybe as a short term crutch they outsourced chinaside players to fill in server? those guys used to love parking various vehicles in rows.

To be honest they have said they are still working on capture mechanics and that those here are just alpha.

If we are going to do the old point capture system there should still be a timer after all points are captured before the base fully flips.

[kidwithstick]

There was an out of bounds in PS1... I remember because I used to load up galaxies and then drop the entire crew out of bounds so they would all die... :lol:

I hope to be able to do the same in PS2 on opening day:rofl:

P.S

Dont pay attention to the tards calling it a BF3 clone. They are just ignorant when it comes to planetside.

That is the design goal of the Scythe. The developers said they want it to handle very "ufo-like" and that vanu tech allows their air vehicle to move in ways conventional flying vehicles can't. Hence, the scythe is the most maneuverable but sacrifices speed (TR) and armor (NC).

[kaffis]

Especially from our NC Freedom loving perspective!

:rofl:


I swear it looks like those Reavers were drifting around their turns like a car.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one with either of these thoughts.

Beta server is currently operational, although there are no external beta testers yet.

Boys, suit up for E3. We might just show some punks how Planetside works.

(I'm just speculating)

That would be a genius demonstration technique, but for some reason I don't think SOE has it in them to pull off a stunt like that.

Then again I could be wrong, their marketing team seems to be top flight, bringing in Totalbiscuit and others to view the game and get some name recognition going into E3. Releasing Beta or even Public Alpha during E3 could cause an uproar of awesome and steal the show. So maybe, just maybe.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCpMIe8FjEU

and lol.

Oh, and the trailer needed more wub wub. I demand wub wub.

[2coolforu]

Jets do 'Drift' though, they can't turn on a dime as the momentum keeps them turning. In sharp turns the jet will have a tendency to continue in its original direction.

Speculating or not, this would be such a gratifying way to spend E3 from home. Forget game announcements. I'm too busy showing the press what MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER means. I think years of WoW and SWTOR has made them think it means 20-man arena matches or something.

'sup baron. I remember you. I played with Tricky quite a bit.

And there is no fucking way I'm going to allow those devs to give you (or any other pilot from AC) an air vehicle that can nose down 90 degrees without losing lift. ;)

[SurgeonX]

Aaaaaand the pieces are starting to slot together.
Hello epic combat persistent combat.
Goodbye monotonous round-based FPS's.

Those sideways drifting air physics are simply amazing.

A massive E3 Alpha test would blow EVERYONE away, but it would have to be done right. MAG did it and it seemed to work for them. I'm definitely not counting on that.

I noticed that the Galaxy hasn't been armed yet. I also noticed there was a single Galaxy in the battle, just flying around....

So I HAVE to ask all the devs, was that Clegg just... ya know.... clegging about?

[KTNApollo]

From my experience all players are 12 year old american kids that yell every time they die, so he is probably not 15, maybe 12 or 10.

I flew out of bounds a few times, that where we would rally up because ppl like you would never stumble on 40+ mossies rallying up.

I would also fly out while typing,which happened even more

then everyone on vent would start with the old man comments,then /C

I had to sign up for this site just so I can post how excited I am. I subbed from PS1 from 05 till 08. Never really joined an outfit and this looks amazing. Hopefully this will fill the hole left from other FPS's released last year.

Those engine sounds
That cockpit HUD
Those tracers.

E3 will be fun.

[Captain1nsaneo]

Looked to be about a squad of players. Was hoping that when they said massive they'd have a platoon or two of aircraft. Guess we can figure out how large their QA department is now. Liked the new footage of the lib gunner though.

Now that I've cleaned up, at 1:26 you can see a flash with a weapon on it! :D

[Lunarchild]

This video is epic and awesome. And I'm sorry, but I can't think of any soundtrack better suited for this than Ride of the Valkyries!

The only thing that is sad is that most people don't have a proper sound system to properly listen to the sound track, cause I'm sorry, but those little computer speakers you can buy for up to 300 Euros, are NOT good enough! Laptop speakers and headsets = don't make me laugh :P

[Xyntech]

Oh wow... awesome.

That's fantastic. That's the kind of thing I'm planning on spending a lot of my time doing in Planetside 2. Awesome to get a sneak look at it.

Awesome vid devs. I thought it was pretty cool that you let TB get some footage and release some videos, but you've gone a step beyond.

Very awesome. Damn. I gotta go rewatch that a few dozen times. Beautiful.

Edit: Did I mention the word awesome? That was awesome.

Everything about that video screams PS1 v2.0 to me. Just look at the old youtube outfit videos of air raids,except now we can do barrel rolls and canyon runs and some badass explosions and laser beams and tracers and sshit.

ssshshhiiiiitttttttt.

Sinsce Ive been struck speechless Im just going to quote zealot here.

[GrapesOnDrapes]

As a dedicated pilot, this video has really rustled my jimmies in a most excellent way.

[Corax]

HOLY FREAKING CHEESE AND CRACKERS!!

1. I have goosebumps
2. I have downloaded the video and am watching it on loop.
3. My jaw just dropped and needs to be found and mailed to me.
4. I love you Planetside 2 please marry me
5. Higby and crew..... you love us...you really love us.

The Bad:
6. Im sorry video was incomplete. We did not see Clegg attempt to land his gal into the middle of the TR armor pool.

[Baron]

'sup baron. I remember you. I played with Tricky quite a bit.

And there is no fucking way I'm going to allow those devs to give you (or any other pilot from AC) an air vehicle that can nose down 90 degrees without losing lift. ;)

Hey man, I remember you as well. I hear Malorn is TR now, is all of Liberty switching?

Anyways, I'm sure the Scythe will get nerfed as the devs have already mentioned it's a little over-powered at the moment with it's current maneuverability. Least you don't have to worry about me in air combat, I was always the guy in the Skyguard :p

Cheers

You don't mind if they package your jaw in the same box they packaged mine do you?

[arclegger]

I noticed that the Galaxy hasn't been armed yet. I also noticed there was a single Galaxy in the battle, just flying around....

So I HAVE to ask all the devs, was that Clegg just... ya know.... clegging about?

If that was me, that thing would be upside down in that video. Followed by a crash, with style.

I can back this up - he did some fun things with the Liberator. It wasn't a Galaxy but he rolled it with style.. into a building.. :lol:

I thought yall might like this. This is a screenshot of a munitons shell right before it hits at the end of the video right before it cuts to the PS2 logo. Enjoy.

[UKSwiFT]

I wonder what would happen if Clegg and TB crashed into each other.


"...Sir...There's....Some sort of anomaly on the charts..."

[TrenchcoatNinja]

"I feel a disturbance..."

"As if a million voices cried out"

[Graywolves]

"I can't detect our heat signature."

We'll just have to collect them, and send them over to SOE, so they can sign them and send them back! ;)

After rewatching it for the 6th time now (Im searching for things to breakdown).

Here are some things I have noticed.

1. Banking in the reaver looks as close to real life as possible. I am going to need to get a high quality joystick.
2. Piloting in PS2 is gunna be a whole new show. And I cant wait.
3. I really like the way the liberator ground pounder gun makes the screen shake and wobble. I noticed this first in TB's 1st PS2 video. And after watching it now. I am really digging the way it inspires the "holy shit Im getting bombarded" feeling "I need to run and hide". Its one of those details that may go unnoticied at first, but then once its happening to you, you're crapping your pants and your adrenaline is spiking.

[Corax]

And for those wondering about the numbers.

NC = 16 Aircraft
15 Reavers
1 Liberator

TR = 20
19 Mossies
1 Liberator

This was ~36 People (Maybe more)

This little show case was basically a 20 v 20 match.

Use your imaginations on what is really possible =)

Also I found....

[CyclesMcHurtz]

You forgot add that the video is way too awesome, and that awesome isn't really an awesome enough word to properly describe how awesome this video really is ;)

Are you saying ... it needs more ... cowbell?

[Corax]

McHurt... I do have a fever...

[atone]

Oh my god...

i immediately started to pass the word of this vid! ALL SHALL SEE THIS GLORY!

[Corax]

In some of my downtime inbetween teaching my classes here in china, I show some of the students the videos that have been put out so far. It has basically caught on like wildfire on our campus.

[SniperSteve]

OH MY.. Higby said "BETA SERVER". BETA IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

[Toppopia]

OH MY.. Higby said "BETA SERVER". BETA IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry, but it means that the server is created, but no one has been invited. (That we know of.) But i'm thinking that is them creating a server for beta because right now they will have been on a testing server. So i could be wrong, but i am most likely right. Which is a bad thing in this case. :cry:

What can I say but.... THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU DEVS this is awesome.

My favorite part is, this wasn't at all an uncommon air battle size in Planetside. The devs may have had to make a special effort to create this with their current numbers, but this shit will happen all of the time in PS2.

More often than even in the first game, because the first game had 500 total players per continent, where as PS2 is shooting for 2000.

We could very easily see air battles 4 times as large as the one in this battle, on a regular basis.

Imagine the largest air battle you ever saw in Planetside, and then multiply it by 4 and add in some amazing flight physics and empire specific fighters and weaponry.

This is going to redefine the word 'epic'.

[Captain1nsaneo]

spent a bit of time slowly going over the video in HD. That shot with the cannon I don't think is actually our 'bombardier' but is the tail gun on the Lib. Reason for that thought is that in the next view we see the lib from the backside and it's the ball turret turned around firing at the ground. There's no light scatter from the turret on the tail at all. As for the direction the turret is moving while shooting, remember this is alpha and I wouldn't be surprised if the ball turret's movement limits have been added yet.

Another thing I noticed was as green sheen on the tanks that just entered the screen when the video was in the turret's view point. Seems like it was the same sheen that freshly spawned vehicles have.

[Sabrak]

I love it when awesome developpers make me giggle like a little girl with their videos.

(Nuff said?)

[Tachyr]

That was just pure awesomesauce

[SGTalon]

All the lightnings just sitting there was way too unrealistic.

Ever see the Attack on Pearl Harbor? Same thing. Everything lined up all nice and pretty, then BOOM!

I think it was just to have an awesome finale explosionfest

[Whiskey Jack]

The only problem with that video was the lack of Scythes. I am just continually blow away with what I see.

[Xyntech]

That would have been pretty spectacular if a dozen Scythes had flown in towards the end of the video to ruin the NC and TR fight (like we always do ;)).

So epic, I'm watching this thing at least 3 times a day till beta starts :D

[Kurtz]

I think they were having a Wine and Cheese party in the tower, and the valets tipped off the NC ...

LOL well played. Great name.

Hey man, I remember you as well. I hear Malorn is TR now, is all of Liberty switching?

I always remember you killing me in a Max for some reason.

Malorn is usually all over these boards to speak for himself but guess he's whoring up diablo 3. He is rolling with The Enclave, TR.

[Kato]

I cant be the only one who is super excited about buying cosmetic customizations. Stupid? I know... but fun nonetheless

[Satexios]

Question: What is the maximum altitude you can reach? As with TB movie of the lib and this movie it seems the height isn't that impressive high. Which wouldn't be very fun for dogfights and such.

Anyone know this?

Anyone know this?

Particularly, what is flight ceiling compared to the reach of AA? Is there a safe zone for aircraft from ground fired AA?

[Serpent]

Actually those vehicles weren't manned. The Quads weren't so I think it's safe to assume the lightnings weren't either... otherwise I doubt the aircraft would survive quite so long :P

You're right, they were just targets for show.

[LegioX]

Getting my pilots license next month (after 7 months of training), im so going to be a pilot junkie in this game.:D

Planetside 2 - Airwolf Combat - YouTube
Best game with the best tv-show? :P

god, I finally got around to showing my 58 yr old father this video yesterday and he nearly wet himself (not related to age)

I wish I used your's, then'd he probably really would have wet himself from laughing so hard.

[Sigg]

I have to say the air physics look amazing some serious work must have gone into that.
