Planetside 2 Footage uncovered.

[Pella]

After the last thread got deleted i wont post the actual video.

Look at the other clan match videos the voices on comms are exactly the same as the planetside 2 footage.
*Edit* The Audio on the video sounds that some people are playing BF3 in the background.

So it looks like SOE have invited certain members of this multi gaming clan to the tech test. Which i'm absolutely cool with. But looking at the forum and players names i cant see one planetisde 1 vet i recognized.

Not a flame at SOE but its interesting. Its a shame people cant stick to a NDA.

[stoof]

Damn, why can't people obey an NDA? It's not that hard. :mad:

[Canaris]

invite L33Ters and what do you expect, they're to cool for NDA don't ya know

[Death2All]

The only player I saw in the video who I recognized was "NVSniper". As far as I know he's also apart of a multi gaming clan too called "Nova Gamers".

[Logon]

*Sigh*

[Firearms]

Hard to reply without looking Trollish - But how would you go about choosing a Vet to concentrate on how their rig handles the game compared to either pointing out everything that isn't Planetside 1 or how the game plays in general.

It would seem easier or even more sensible not to have a vet in a tech test IMO

[Sturmhardt]

Damn, why can't people obey an NDA? It's not that hard. :mad:

I really dont understand reactions like that... are your working for SOE or what? Or maybe trying to get into beta :>

@topic: Yeah.... I dont get it either.

[Kran De Loy]

They also probably go out of their way to use alternate names for certain circumstances. Improbable, but possible.

Anyway the Tech Test is meant for testing hardware, they could have gone out of their way to grab Vets, but they could also have gone out of their way to make sure that people run as a unit to truely test some system aspects they want to be sure are implemented and we in all honestly don't know which is which.

Soon(tm) should be replaced with "Beta will happen when it happens" party:

[Pella]

Silly though. They even had a TS3 overlay so you could see all the players in channel who where playing.

Is it coincidence that these guy's where chosen for the tech test via system specs lottery which the community has been sold on the last few weeks. Highly unlikely.

[Dart]

Without wanting to discuss the issue of selection too much; most of those involved in the first day of the tech test WEREN'T Planetside veterans. Whether this was a deliberate choice by SOE or merely luck of the draw, I couldn't say.

[Firearms]

Silly though. They even had a TS3 overlay so you could see all the players in channel who where playing.

There were ppl playing Battlefield in that channel. It would be a shame to ban them all.....

[TheCaptainC]

None of the people talking was playing planetside, all of them were playing bf3. If you guys would actually listen and not instantly become super jealous because some other people are in the game and you are not this would be pretty clear to you guys

Fair enough. I have absolutely no problem with these guys playing beta. SOE can decide what todo. But i hope they dont get kicked.

Welcome to PSU, always good to have new members join up.

[Kran De Loy]

NDA is there because the company is still making the game and it could be in a lot of flux. Logical sane people understand this, however even the best of us get emotional about things that we find dear or important and the NDA is there to keep the company from getting flooded with constant complaints about this or that small piece that each person complaining feels like a huge issue. NDA is better that keeping telling people "Step off my dick and let me work, shit's not done yet. Fuck."

Silly though. They even had a TS3 overlay so you could see all the players in channel who where playing.

Yeah, some people are just Dense.

[Dreamcast]

WTF do I google to see it?

[Kran De Loy]

WTF do I google to see it?

Can't say or the thread would get closed imo.

Probably gonna get closed anyway, tho.

[StumpyTheOzzie]

all i noticed is that the turrets rotated WAYYYyyy too fast.

[FatherJack]

After the last thread got deleted i wont post the actual video. you can just search Google.


Well the video is unlisted in youtube so you wont be able to find it through there, I am sure there are some forums around with the link though......

Anyways, as a PS1 vet I have very little concern about who gets into the tech test. Whether they be 9 year vets or someone who has never played it before.

[Solidblock]

Not going to say or link, but I've found it.

[Pella]

The youtube video has been set to private. So people with the actual link can see it.

I'm not willing to share this sorry.

Unless someone stumps up 5,000,000 Ugandan dollar's

[Wrekriem]

It may be against the NDA and I agree with that but how do you know that they won't report bugs and faults they find by playing the game normally? Surely the kind of bugs that are important to find are those that arise from playing like a normal player would.

The foundations of this look incredible! The liberator bombing cannon type thing makes the most satisfying explosion and sound, same with the tank shells, aesthetically very battlefield esq, in a good way! I also find it funny that the vehicle piloting looks 'clunky' in the same way it does when a bunch of new people start playing battlefield. ie it seems to have a lot of depth to it.. the whole moment where the liberator is trying to land and just explodes reminds me of the 'battlefield moments' that my buddies and I often laugh about due to bad piloting, where things seem normal then something just explodes.

The whole look and feel of the game to me looks brilliant! After playing a lot of betas it looks to be at the point where as I mentioned before, the foundations are there, then with polishing it'll be ace.
For example, for some reason the hacking looked weird.. kind of like there should have been an animation there.

[IronMole]

They have it public on their forums...

[StumpyTheOzzie]

what's that? 20 cents?

[Pella]

what's that? 20 cents?

About $2000 USD i think :P

[Stew]

Just seams it was a blend of hardware lottery and Invites on purpose i will not be suprise that totalbiscuit , hamma , jenny and few others have been invite as well its how it work few people have privilege for been close the SOE many people will feel its unfair but whats you can do ? Yeah just wait and hope your name will be pick ;)

I would have hoped Higby would have appreciated my creativity of the HigbyMeme... Guess he hated it! :huh:

[Kran De Loy]

Yeah. I refuse to watch the leak because if I did I would have to bash my head against the wall or something or I'd probably lose my mind trying to contain the abstract mountain of desire to play the game again.

I mean I only live a 2 hour drive away from the offices and now that I know where it is, if my mind broke I'm not sure I could hold myself back from storming the building and rabidly gnawing on some server wires or something.

[rTekku]

Fair enough. I have absolutely no problem with these guys playing beta. SOE can decide what todo. But i hope they dont get kicked.

So wait, you create a topic and link us directly to their website where the footage is on their forums and you hope they don't get kicked?

[IronMole]

I hope he/they does/do...

[Pella]

No, Dont try and twist it.

[Fara]

Wasn't very hard to find, but on a side note it's nothing we haven't already seen.

Not 100% certain about seat hot-swapping in vehicles. Liberator passenger swapping from bomber role to tail gunner, defeats the point in a 3man vehicle.

Fara.

[Dreamcast]

Somebody Download it before they take it off.

[DirtyBird]

Friend of mine said it wasnt a great video to watch cos the place looked nearly void of players.
Hardly the impression you want to give.

[Fara]

Somebody Download it before they take it off.

Why? So it can get taken down for a second time? Also it's not like the video has Higby and TRay ballroom dancing, its just another combat video which we've seen before.

Indeed.

[Rago]

The Problem is Ppl make 2 Accounts and use one for the Public, i saw this coming a Nda with that many People ist nearly impossible, The Guys from FireFall made it Clever they had a close Beta and later they dropt the NDA & invidet many many ppl into public Beta !

[Rhophi]

Silly though. They even had a TS3 overlay so you could see all the players in channel who where playing.

Is it coincidence that these guy's where chosen for the tech test via system specs lottery which the community has been sold on the last few weeks. Highly unlikely.

They are in a "Battlefield 3" channel on TS3, and some of the chat in that channel was actually about BF3 not PS2.

[Logon]

most of it where, only 1-2 people are playing ps2

Got it anyways....maybe Ill want to get 100k views on youtube:D



Jk

Re-upload it and share it with friends.

[Coreldan]

Yeah, I really do not approve the 100% hot swapping of seats. Also still WTB a delay to enter/exit vehicles, if we cant have animations.

For what it is though, it looks really damned amazing, just some ironing here and there to get the above kind of sillyness out of the game.

[MyMeatStick]

This topic has already been removed once, why can't people have patience? You'll all be playing soon, posting these NDA violation topics will hurt the development more than help it.

Remove this :/

[PilotJack]

yes, a 'friend' of yours. ;)

get on mumble

[Mirror]

All people want is information and are happy to see footage of the game.

If the person who took the footage has broke the rules then they should have their access removed. I doubt that will happen because it will be difficult to track them down.

This could mean now that the nda will be worthless and everyone currently in the beta will start posting pics/vids etc because there will be no fear of punishment.

[Pella]

Why does it? I am under no NDA. And this topic clearly doesn't violate anything.

I have patience which i have stated about 20 times now. I don't care that other are playing Beta. They probably have for a while now.

This is news which i'm sure 99% of the PS community would like to know.

Also the footage is a great insight into PS2 so stop being the SOE good guy here its not going to get you into Beta any sooner than anyone.

Well,that was the first time i have seen the lib in action

The guy who made the video ,didnt have a beta key on 6/27/2012.So he was really lucky

If Hamma already closed down one thread, doesnt that tell you enough?

Hamma has also forbidden sharing any footage here that is under NDA, whether or not you have signed that NDA. I hope you are lucky enough to not get banned over re-opening the thread, lets hope he has some mercy on you, third time will probably be the charm though if you still keep on trying.

This is Hamma's kingdom and his word is the law, the law you have broken supposedly twice now.


The guy who made the video ,didnt have a beta key on 6/27/2012.So he was really lucky

Cos this isnt a beta and has NOTHING AT ALL to do with beta keys. This is a technical test to which they have invited people from NA who have submitted their specs and have the kind of specs they want to test.

[rTekku]

Technically, there was no footage shared here.

[Coreldan]

Technically, there was no footage shared here.

Technically, no, but do you really think Hamma is stupid enough to not see how obvious this is?

He could've as well linked the footage, he gave very good instructions on how to find the video.

Going around manually set rules like these that are taken seriously isn't a good idea, cos as said, Hamma isn't exactly stupid.

He hasn't shared any footage... Therefore no rules have been broken... Also, I believe Hamma isn't as anal as you make him sound out to be...

[sumo]

im happy i saw it before it was deleted:) it was the most epic planetside 2 footage i have ever seen. not even kidding, most epic footage ever.

Firstly: I have not shared any footage.....
Secondly: I didn't create the original thread which had the video.

Get your facts right next time. And stop acting like your part of the NDA police its not cool.

[KTNApollo]

A few things....

#1 Swapping seats on the fly - No, just, no. This is baddd. You should only be able to swap seats while landed (air vehicles) or not in motion (land vehicles). Swapping mid-flight allows 2 people to effectively run a Liberator at a high enough efficiency that having 3 people could be seen as a waste. If 4 people can operate 2 Libs quite well, why would would we want to use 6 people?

#2 Turret rotation speed - Seems a bit odd for a gunship bomber turret to rotate that fast.

#3 Model clipping - less of a problem, I'm sure it will be fixed but just throwing it out there. All sorts of model clipping going on with the gunner's view.

#4 Drop pods - They look kinda silly when they hit the ground and bounce back up before landing a second time. They need to implement "invisible walls" where drop pods can't fall on top of so they don't bounce off the sides of rocks and stuff.

One of the things I loved was how powerful the Liberator's tailgun seems to be. It even sounds badass. No more solo Mossies taking down a fully manned Lib...Also, tanks leave treadmarks! So exciting!

[SwiftRanger]

There wasn't much to see (not enough players), it showed the game looking pretty (we knew that), that the explosions are a bit too much Michael Bay (we knew that) and that hotswapping vehicle spots is up for discussion (we also knew that).

About the hotswapping: with a proper player count in the game we might see it in a very different way. It could even become a real must to hotswap then. Remember this is a much faster game than PS1. They could instill a slight delay into it.

3# Tech test wtf this is why the NDA exists because people cannot see past stuff.

#4 I think the bounce is to give people a chance of seeing the pod bouncing

He was stupid enough to show his name, i guess the tech test is over for him.

[Azren]

It's still retarded. Just like the instant entry/exit, especially since it's possible with flying aircraft...

[Coreldan]

I don't care so much for being an NDA police per se, what what annoys me is smartasses going around fairly direct rules set on the forums by twisting some semantics and technicalities. If Hamma has wished that these forums are not to be used for sharing footage that is under NDA, why can it not be respected instead of doing it so that it may not break a rule, but still does the exact same thing than the original thread that was closed for a very good reason?

The point that bothers me the most is trying to go around it. Being a forum moderator on other forums, it's somewhat hilarious when people try to go around the rules by doing similar technical roundabouts and then QQing when the thread gets closed or they get punished. It would work if this shit was automated, but it doesnt quite work against manual moderation :D

That said, I do despise people who can't respect an agreement they have agreed to follow. Now this has nothing to do with this thread per se, but the poster of the video. I think breaching an NDA or any agreement is, while first and foremost a legal thing, but also a spit to the face of SOE in this case. He gets an amazing opportunity like this and decides to breach the NDA first chance he gets, meh. As for this thread, Hamma has asked PSU not be the place to share these videos (even if the thread wouldnt directly do it, it is extremely easy thanks to this thread), but still people have to try their luck with threads like these :/

But I guess more on topic of the video content we're not supposed to talk about or share:

I would somehow like to see the turret speed limited too, in addition to the instant enter/exit and hotswapping seats being worked on.

[KTNApollo]

It's still retarded. Just like the instant entry/exit, especially since it's possible with flying aircraft...

That's another thing I noticed...The Liberator hadn't even landed and he jumped right into it. All vehicles need to be stationary before you can enter them.

If 4 people can operate 2 Libs quite well, why would would we want to use 6 people?

I have seen evidence of certifications that reduce seat swapping times, so it probably haven't been impemented yet, but we will have delays on everything, including entering/exiting the vehicle at launch.

#2 Turret rotation speed - Seems a bit odd for a gunship bomber turret to rotate that fast.

Yes, this is one of those things a big chunk of the community has to be vocal about for them to implement. So if people want more realistic turret turning speeds, we'll most likely get that.
Unless the devs already are planning to do it of course :)

#3 Model clipping - less of a problem, I'm sure it will be fixed but just throwing it out there. All sorts of model clipping going on with the gunner's view.

Beta is beta is beta :)

Totalbiscuit mentioned this in one of his videoes earlier. The physics engine is not finished, and they are still working on getting everything to not bounce around ridiculously.

Jog on please.

[Sledgecrushr]

For me the hotswapping seats wasnt that big of a deal, it could use a tiny delay. The lib is freaking AWESOME!!! Tank busting looked like it was a piece of cake. Against air superiority fighters the liberator really seemed to shine. The rear aa gun was seemed very satisfying to fire, powerful and nice controlled bursts. Im thinking when I run into a libby Im going to want hellfire missiles equipped and come in from a higher elevation.

Liberators are definitely going to take more than one solo fighter pilot to bring down unlike PS1...

I know there's always a first language thing on the forums but I think the rule about not talking about what you saw in fight club was referring to the people actually in fight club rather than the people looking in through the window.

It's good to see that you're taking it really seriously though.

Finding the footage in question was easy.

This thread is set up specifically to discuss a video in violation of the NDA. I think this thread should be closed and/or deleted.

[Pella]

Just me or does the combat footage remind you of any other recent game you played?

[Coreldan]

Just me or does the combat footage remind you of any other recent game you played?

Mostly BF3 in the vehicle mechanics, mainly the hot swapping and instant entry/exit.

Also the infantry combat/gunplay also reminds me of BF3 to a degree, but that's only a good thing for me. I really liked that in BF3, it's problems were elsewhere.

The footage lacks the population to truely feel like Planetside, so what is left is overly staring at the mechanics :D BF3 then again doesnt have anything "unique" to it unlike PS2, so it's all about it's mechanics :D

Still WTB "smart reloading", as in not cocking the weapon if there's a round in the chamber.

I've reported the original video to SOE.

Be patient guys - this footage is shit. Wait to see the actual game and the good stuff.

Attempts to bypass deletion of threads that violate the NDA will result in infractions and bans.
