TenTonHammer Mostly nostalgic story:
http://www.tentonhammer.com/games/planetside2

[atone]

sooo great to see some exposure. this is only the beginning!:D

[Figment]

I was getting worried since we had this full day of E3 and no real mentioning of PS2. But it seems in the last few hours the reports are starting to poor in. I've also noticed it being spammed on random forums (often in small threads still).

[Hamma]

Nice!

[sylphaen]

Interesting to see how those gamebreaker.tv guys used footage from Alpha GDC that were reused by Morto who picked them up from gametrailers.com.

Pretty poor journalism imo, they could have taken their own footage from E3.

Edit: good to see articles popping up though ! It's just that putting up stuff rehashed to death when there is fresh stuff available is poor. PC Gamer's work is much better.

TB's stream is an awesome first-seats hands-on experience and I love it.

[Destroyeron]

Good links purple dragon.

[Raymac]

Nice work Figgy.

I still hate you. ;)

[Figment]

Added another vid with E3 footage, this time from Gametrailers.com

[FastAndFree]

Man, some of these journalists are really lazy/misinformed

"free to play. As of this writing, there’s no word on if that means there’ll be microtransactions for new weapons and the like, or if there’ll be a divide between hypothetical free and subscriber memberships."

"PlanetSide 2 is currently in closed beta, but will soon be heading into open beta"

[ringring]

Nice figgy

[Kran De Loy]

Hmm I'm not seeing posts 1 or 3. Sad face? Fixed now. Awesome links, yo!

Checked my ignore list, I have no idea why Figment was the only person on it. Seriously, what did you do?

[Thomas]

Gary Gannon loved it. PS2 GOTY. Would be amazing if Gamebreaker made a podcast just for PS2.

Man you guy's impressed Gamebreaker, you have their whole front page

http://www.gamebreaker.tv/

[Praetor]

I thought the Gamespot interview / game play with Higby was the best so far.

[Thomas]

That Curse.com article lost me at - "Unlike the previous title in the series, 2 will not feel like a dungeon crawl!"

[Spoof]

Gamespot: Stage demo (taken from the full Day1 live stream)
http://e3.gamespot.com/video/6380664/planetside-2-e3-2012-stage-demo

At 9:27 the play tip in the menu reads:

"The Vanu mostly come at night... mostly."

And another:

"Apply some hand sanitizer before it's too late..."

[Figment]

What I find weird is that IGN has their booth right next to SOE and they still haven't even uploaded the new trailer (!), while trailers for other games are all over the place.


All I found on IGN over the past couple days mentioning PS2 was this:
http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/06/05/igns-best-of-e3-2012-awards

One nomination in the list for best MMOs. No nomination for best PC game. No news whatsoever. They are even waiting for the FOURTH DAY with discussing PS2.

[Thomas]

Well I guess Gamespot is forever superior to IGN.

[Figment]

Added article on GameSpy on free to play. Quite a good read that one.

[ThermalReaper]

Nice reads there, I loled at the amount of people asking how to prone in tribes ascend. Thanks mate.

[Aractain]

That Curse.com article lost me at - "Unlike the previous title in the series, 2 will not feel like a dungeon crawl!"

W. T. F?

[Figment]

http://nl.twitch.tv/soe/b/320471743

SOE put something up on Twitch.tv as well, but unfortunately it echoes like hell for the first 5 mins (then goes on to discuss other SOE games at the booth)

[Hamma]

We are also updating this page as stuff happens:

http://www.planetside-universe.com/p-e3-2012-roundup-109.htm

Thanks Figment!

[Hatchak]

I would like to see people that watch this shows to help hyping up the game a little more, help liking those videos and ask for more footage, interviews etc, if they see interest in it (and i bet they have because almost everyone loved the demo) they will put some more info about it, so far the reaction its been amazing, and more attention to the game = more people finds out and the better the game will do.

[GreatMazinkaise]

That Curse.com article lost me at - "Unlike the previous title in the series, 2 will not feel like a dungeon crawl!"

Maybe she's talking about the current lack of basements? It certainly wasn't all that grindy back in the day.

[Figment]

Np Hamma. Found something else:

[EZShot]

I don't understand why Josh and Matt are going with the interviewers when they say stuff like "change maps", "capture maps" and "instances" without correcting then. Gives people the impression that that amp station is a "map" as we never see the battle evolve outside the walls.

[raidyr]

That Curse.com article lost me at - "Unlike the previous title in the series, 2 will not feel like a dungeon crawl!"

From the context it seems like it was referring to the closed off tube style map design of the bases.

[ikon]

this makes me very happy. obviously i think just seeing the gameplay is enough to give us a huge boost in exposure

[Malorn]

She didnt land her job because of her astute intellect.

[solracseptim]

lol cant spell ignorant without IGN

I've noticed this as well.

[Bittermen]

In the gametrailers one...

"NC cover point A"

Runs towards C....


Lmao who do they get to play these games?!

[Bittermen]

So much false information.

[Spoof]

Here's a pic from The9...

http://ps2.the9.com/images/news/2012/6/6/CD93D5050E7049CCAECDCA989109A43B.JPG

Two Vanu girls. One is the real deal. The other is wearing armour.

[Figment]

Added MMORPG.

[Figment]

Updated with SOE video on a little press conference they did. Also includes new (!) Faction Introduction Trailers!

[Figment]

IGN finally discovered PS2 and actually frontpaged it (smallishly).
http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/06/07/e3-2012-planetside-2-night-terrors-and-small-victories

[ringring]

Added MMORPG.
sounds like they liked it. :)
PlanetSide 2’s polished, tight, shooter gameplay combined with massive three-faction battles are going to take the MMO world by storm

[Thomas]

Saw someone on IGN compare PS2 to MAG and they have hopes that if MAG can be on the PS3 then PS2 can as well.

Poor guy.

[JimmyOmaha]

Poor guy.

Truly, but some believe the PS3 runs on magic, and the Cell Processor is valid for years to come, the industry are the ones that have it wrong...

Good example, go read the comments on articles that make it to the top of N4G.com :)

[Figment]

Added EGMNow and another TenTonHammer article. And another IGN blog.

[Figment]

Destructoid article and IGN Demo. :)

[Red Beard]

"Planetside 2, of course, is the successor of the first mayor game to make a serious attempt at this kind of gameplay. Like its predecessor, it seems exclusively single-player focused." -From second link

Is it me, or are they intentionally misrepresenting the game...?

[SirDart]

I wish to thank SOE and Planetside 2 crew for their awesome setup! And I have this for the great live streaming feeds that were delivered.

[JimmyOmaha]

I seem to remember the big limiting factor when they investigated PS3 was memory capacity and not the processor but yeah when PS4 hits with a quad core AMD CPU and PCI-X GPU. Things will change in a hurry.

Indeed memory is a huge factor with consoles. 360/PS3 have roughly 1/2 a gig or RAM, not a lot at all.

I really hope so, this gen started off amazing for consoles, but has hit a wall lately.
