My question is, what will this mean for us unlucky ones still waiting on an invite!?

Will we be likley to see videos from the Likes of TB? or will it be just write ups about in game experiences?

Cheers! :love:

I think TB said he had some footage that he wasn't able to show until the embargo was lifted. :ncrocks:

Where have you seen that the embargo has been lifted?

Does it mean we'll be able to sell our products to Cuba now?

Well lets just wait and see what he has to spare.

Until the official word is stated today that it's lifted, I wouldn't really bet on it.

I will be filming Planetside 2 stuff today. I can't release it until the 17th though, general press embargo

i guess this answers my own question now.

But is it only press related? or can others now release videos too?

I'm pretty sure it's a deal SOE made with TB and other gaming press that revolved around a specific event they were allowed to attend and footage from it.

thank you for the clarity sir! So there is still an NDA in place for beta/tech testers we can assume?

Twitter is the devil's work. Retweets, clicking on buttons to see the conversation...ARGH.

Yes I am sure there's a brilliant app or platform but I'm on my work computer. Need info. Need detail. Need play. need TO SHOOT SOME DIRTY TERRANS!!!!!

Yes, everything I have read and heard points to the NDA and the press embargo to be two completely separate agreements with different purposes.

I hate Twitter too, but that's where all of the info comes from unfortunately =(

The NDA on beta and the Press Embargo are two totally different animals. There is still an NDA on beta, no footage recorded can be released.

Actually, I wonder why they set the embargo lift to the 17th of July.

It seems like a pretty random date to me.

Probably SOE would like to give TBs footage a once over before he uploads it to his huge list of follows. Makes sense.

He talked about that in a video once. If a studio wants TB to make a video about their game he has one very important demand. To be unbiased and say whatever he want. That of course means the game developers don't have a say in if the video will be released or not. However one time he did send a video for review (can't remember what game) but that was only to make sure there weren't any factual errors.

So no, he probably won't send the video to SOE. Especially because he filmed it while in SD.

If there is money involved + A love for the Original game. I'm sure TB will be biased in some way :P

Yea TB's video is not being reviewed I know ours isn't ;)

He was sitting just across from me filming at the same time. I honestly don't know the reason for the date/time you guys will find out when I do.

There may be no reason other than to get it outside the Comic Con coverage.

That seems like a very good reason if you ask me, all pr might be good pr but someone has to view it first!

If there is money involved + A love for the Original game. I'm sure TB will be biased in some way :P

Well yeah he did say that since Planetside was his first MMO he might be biased in some way, but aren't we all? As far as I can tell I'm okay with that, especially since there will still be objective thoughts on some subjects.

We are probably overhyping this and it will come to nothing.(one part is of me is thinking).

The other part is like a little kid waiting for xmas
