*Too much awesomness, can't take it. Freaking out in 3... 2... 1...*

[TheCaptainC]

thank you so much!

[BlackBaron]

"size always matters"

No matter how badass the trailer is, i can't take that phrase seriously.


EDIT: and thanks!

[Canaris]

awesome!

[Dreamcast]

"size always matters"

No matter how badass the trailer is, i can't take that phrase seriously.

When it comes to war size always matters.

[Hamma]

Glad you guys FINALLY get to see this stuff! Hope you enjoy the videos :D

All the screenshots have been added as well.

[haticK]

lol at the tip "The Vanu mostly come at night...mostly"

[kaffis]

Galaxy surfing and shooting the pilot through the cockpit confirmed IN!!!

:rofl:

[Mirror]

very nice

[ScreamingRooste]

Pretty epic stuff!

Agreed.

[VaderShake]

I honestly can't remember the last time a cinimatic trailer got me excited about a game??? I mean really.....

[Envenom]

Cinematic trailer touched me in ways women can't.

[Oryon22]

Hot damn that was insane.

[Bruttal]

Wish the cinematic trailer was a bit longer but other wise was really good thanks

[haticK]

The biodomes are awesome looking

[Sabrak]

Wish the cinematic trailer was a bit longer but other wise was really good thanks

That's a teaser, not a trailer ;)

Wait for the July 25/26 (depending on where you're from) to see the full stuff.

That's gonna be damn epic!

[Logon]

I would really like to see some gameplay :(
There was a few small segments and they just made me crave more.

[Jennyboo]

Wish the cinematic trailer was a bit longer but other wise was really good thanks

It was just a teaser full version will be out July 25th :)

[FINALCUT]

The biomes are awesome looking

The Biodome is gonna be a cloakers paradise.
The only thing I hated about the video is that I wasn't there to help my NC brothers out.
Like how Hamma said his mouse got stuck ;) Sure,we believe you.lol.

[TheCaptainC]

very interesting and informative video! thanks again. do you by any chance know the pc speccs on what settings the game was running?

[rTekku]

Has everyone ever told you that you're the best, Hamma?

[Pella]

The biolabs look amazing i have to say.

[VSENSES]

Woho awesome footage, Biodomes will be my nest of love :groovy:

[HalfManHalfGod]

Hamma, how do the guns feel? Are they BF3 like? Which I believe is the tightest feeling gunplay in the industry.

[NewSith]

Cinematic Teaser, WOOT! Got my hands shaking until 26th now...

[ringring]

Very good walkthrough and commentary Hamma :)

Proximity mines inside buildings, perhaps that's something that will be changed.

[stargazer093]

wohoo!!!

apparently there will be a longer version of cinematic trailer during ChinaJoy

[Doxy]

The cinematic showed alot of NC/TR and very little VS wth?
Cool gameplay vid, but with theyd show more action

[SixShooter]

Bio Lab looks pretty awesome. Great videos, thanks Hamma.:cheers:

[snaffe]

The cinematic showed alot of NC/TR and very little VS wth?
Cool gameplay vid, but with theyd show more action

They're with the other fish, in the sea, mainly.

[Furber]

Very excited about biolabs now!

[IgloGlass]

This looks amazing, thank you Hamma!!

[BlackBaron]

When it comes to war size always matters.

Not saying it doesn't, but my inner twelve year old refuses to take it in that context. Please, forgive me.

[Hamma]

Thanks all!

To answer a few questions.. the aircraft feel most similar to Battlefield for sure. But it's definitely not the same.

The gunplay is pretty close to on par with BF, IMHO anyway. But I've never been a stickler for mechanics. It's getting there and has more to go now that Jimmy is on the team helping out!

[longfire]

:O the cinematic trailer was amazing cant fuckin wait for the full one to be out :D and thanks for the other vid too its helpful too n seems like im gonna love driving around the desert on my rocket flash xD

[Sabrak]

To answer a few questions.. the aircraft feel most similar to Battlefield for sure. But it's definitely not the same.

So, it's as easy to crash as it is in BF?

(Yeah I know, I suck. I really don't manage to pilot aircrafts and helicopters in recent BF games :( )

[SurgeonX]

Glad you guys FINALLY get to see this stuff! Hope you enjoy the videos :D

All the screenshots have been added as well.

http://www.planetside-universe.com/media.php?album=123

Cheers Hamma.
Can't wait to see the full cinematic, it's looking really tasty.

And those beta screenshots are top notch too.
Will get the walkthrough viewed tonight :)

[PredatorFour]

Can`t wait to be an absolute bastard with them prox. mines as a cloaker, this is going to be epic

[RodenyC]

That biodome is just so fucking awesome.That is just so awesome.I really just hope those borders get removed before beta.

[Lorgarn]

that biolab footage. *drooling*

Thanks Hamma, good work. :)

[snok]

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b200/jsnock/vsmines.jpg

I believe those are the mines in question :)

[bjorntju1]

Fuck that CGI trailer looks fucking amazing. Going to watch the walkthrough now, can't wait to see the Biodome you guys are talking about!

And do you guys think the CGI trailer is being made by BLUR? They also did the DCUO CGI trailer.

[Hamma]

AH! :lol:

I was not looking there.

[Hamma]

Another thing of note is all the assets used in the trailer are directly from the game. I got to see the full length when I was there you guys are going to love it. :D

[Sabrak]

Hamma closed the embargo topic, so I'll post this here untill he opens another one :)

After what they have shown us here, i would be more impressed if they managed to ruin the trailer... hell you could play the damn thing to the dora the explorer theme and it would have sufficient man-sauce.

[Hamma]

Thanks to everyone posting the links - I will do a summary article with all of them later today.

[Graywolves]

I'm loving it!

The bio-dome looks great! Can't wait for some action in there! The continent looks VERY polished and ready to be littered with corpses and vehicle carcasses!

Cinematic looks bad ass!



But they're seriously committing to that "Size. Always. Matters." line? Seriously?

Seeing "Size always matters" in the trailer was like going to watch the Pacifier and expecting a serious action film where Vin Diesel does nothing but kick ass.

The Pacifier Trailer - YouTube

[sameer]

Why is Indar so smoggy? The viewing distance is terrible. I suspect its not optimized yet.

The little bike sounds terrible. The gear change sound does not exist (really bad if it is). Again, all this will, should be changed :)

Oh, wow. I didn't realize I wasn't being a smartass...

[MrBloodworth]

I love how the cinematic has vehicle interiors, and enter and exit animations.

[Rago]

Okay i like that

[Canaris]

I love how the cinematic has vehicle interiors, and enter and exit animations.

they trollin us!! :eek: ;)

[Jonny]

MOTHER OF GOD.


Planetside 2 looks amazing but I hope I get to see games look as good as that trailer!

Very hyped now..!

[Raymac]

DAT TRAILER!!

I was really kind of hoping for something like this, but this teaser looks better than anything I imagined. 7/25. I can't wait!!!

[Rago]

Let´s go to the Lab XD

[Solidblock]

Amazing!

[Coreldan]

The lightning was hitting him in the weak rear armor.

He was taking AV fire from a VS heavy assault as well.

This, I doubt the lightning would've stood a chance had Hamma not been exposing his trunk :D

And even if not, numbers are easy to tweak. I wouldnt be concerned at this point. If people say Lightning is too strong or MBTs too weak, it's editing a couple of values and its a whole different thing already.

That said, I did just notice too it wasnt only the rear of the tank and the Lightning sure seems pretty strong everything considered.

[PoisonTaco]

Aw come on SOE, trailers for trailers are so lame!

[Minigun]

So apparently tech testing is over and CB is taking place. Looks like they had us all fooled.

[Rago]

I havent played it, i cant say, the Video Way.

[Bags]

The trailer was brown as fuck.

[elementHTTP]

So 25 july is ps2 premiere ( aka beta) ?
- edit - from video last 10 sec

[noxious]

The cone of fire in that game represents the level of aiming technology that those tanks have, because they could not really be precise while moving, but this is a game that is set in the future and the computers let you be super precise while stile on the move.
Yes, this was assumed an obvious aside (hence its intentional omission).

[SgtExo]

So 25 july is ps2 premiere ( aka beta) ?
- edit - from video last 10 sec

That would be fun.

Edit: it is the date that the full trailer will premiere, but I doubt that means the start of official beta.

[fb III IX ca IV]

The CGI trailer looks to drab compared to the gameplay footage.

[Rago]

That would be fun.

Correct ! It only says TRAILER RELEASE nothing more.

[Jennyboo]

The CGI trailer looks to drab compared to the gameplay footage.

Well it is War after all ;)

[MrBloodworth]

Can you see the action outside of the bio-dome when inside?

Or do they remove all that activity when you are inside?

[Snipefrag]

Nice, stuff. Thanks for cutting/commentating it Hamma.

[Kran De Loy]

I just woke up and saw the news article.

I have to admit I drooled a little.

Also those two pictures of Galaxys.. Do mine eyes deceive me or is that first one a Gunship variant? Seeing that a normal Gal and a Gunship variant could have drastic visual difference... I came.

[Thunderhawk]

O.....M.....G

[Sturmhardt]

Very nice video and VERY good Quality. We can finally see all the details in HD and not the washed down SD-look that is usual for PS2 videos. Thanks for the comments as well, very good job!

[IgloGlass]

Can you see the action outside of the bio-dome when inside?

Or do they remove all that activity when you are inside?

Nothing is instanced in the game if I'm correct which means that you will still be able to view dogfights or something from inside!

[ratfusion]

Hamma, that Cycler (I'm guessing) in your hands looks far better than what we saw during weapons week. Have any more info on it?

[MrBloodworth]

Nothing is instanced in the game if I'm correct which means that you will still be able to view dogfights or something from inside!

Doesn't have to be instanced to be removed. They just stop sending you the data. Its a common optimization trick. I'm just wondering if you can see the action. From every other video I have seen, you can't see IN to the bio-dome from the outside, but it almost looked like you could see out.

[CaptFuture]

Thanks for the video, some new details in there. :groovy:

[Sardus]

Pretty epic stuff!

I totally agree! I've been eagerly waiting to see something like this ;) Can't wait till the 25th for the full thing!

[SavageB]

Nice vids.

[Hamma]

You can still see stuff going on outside the dome it's definitely not instanced. You just can't get inside.

Well you might be able to get inside but it would not last long.

Also, please do not derail this topic with specific feedback on things you saw. Create new threads for those to keep the main post clean and on topic.

Well that's good, should add to the epic feeling. As for new topics, your mods have a habit of closing those.

Remember, different Biodomes are different. Some may be transparent enough to see in/out, others may be heavily tinted so seeing in isn't very practical or you have to be very close to do so.

Who knows, some Biodomes amy have perpetual fog lingering inside! That'd be creepy/cool.

I recall them trying to work out the look of the glass ( Concept art ), but no official word on if each are different. But that's also not my point.

I just wanted to know if you could see combat going on outside, and that was answered.

[noxious]

The mechanics are all in all promoting static gameplay, as long as you don't know how to work together with your allies to use your momentum. And that's particularly true if you use heavies, TDs and artillery because they provide less tools to be dynamic in the first place. Particularly if you go for Russian units.

It's absolutely NOT true if you're talking about scout and medium combat (particularly above tier 5 French and German tanks), which is positively the same as basic PS Lightning combat. With the exception that aiming is actually easier.

CoF is bad, true, but the hitrate only goes down by about 10% (for me at higher tiers at least, it's around 60-69% for my high tier meds, down to 55-65% with low tier meds). And I do tend to be very mobile while driving, because at those tiers you can't stand still while facing a Maus or other Tier 10. If you'd get hit, you lose 40-80% of your hitpoints in one shot.



Well, then it looks like I got over 10.000 more battles in it than you so sorry if I don't take your word for it as you can't have experienced more than the lower tiers. Sorry, but if you haven't gotten past tier 5 and experienced the higher tier mediums (tier 8-9 mediums) you've really got nothing to add here about accuracy on the move because indeed at the lower tiers accuracy is abysmal for all units except TDs and a few artillery units.



BF3 can be a decent comparison, but I won't compare to it since I don't play that very often and besides, its tanks don't have competition from other vehicles and thus little to do with balancing different types of tank combat with one another.



It generally does in comparison to static, yes. Your point? You were saying PS2 drivers sofar been accurate?
That you've put so many hours into WoT and still don't understand why it isn't a good analogy is very disconcerting. It's like theory crafting about how Guild Wars 2 will play based on extensive experience from World of Warcraft. Despite being of the same genre, they are completely different mechanically and any similarities are superficial in nature. The same is the case with PlanetSide 2 and WoT (indeed, the difference here is even more marked) and this is what we're all trying, rather in vain, to explain to you.

[SavageB]

The Bio dome Looks awesome man....Looking forward to having some intense fights inside.

[NapalmEnima]

I honestly can't remember the last time a cinimatic trailer got me excited about a game??? I mean really.....

Warhammer 40k: Dawn Of War trailer was pretty goddam epic too.

I'm pretty sure there's a copy or three floating around on youtube... lemeseehere...

Yep, here's one. Note that the trailer itself doesn't start till 30-ish seconds in, everything prior to that company logos. Lots of logos. Meh.

[Malorn]

That Biolab design looks quite awesome! Nice video Hamma, enjoyed the prowler time.

The Cinematic trailer looks great. I liked how the only image of TR was a squad lined up inside a galaxy. Makes me think of the PS2 teaser we got a year ago when it ended with TR mosquitoes & a Galaxy coming in.

I may be biased as the Galaxy is the bread and butter of the Enclave, but I'm really looking forward to that trailer showing some TR gal drops.


Also, does anyone else remember back in PS1 beta? My first impression of the game was logging into Sanctuary and seeing a dozen galaxies sitting around loading up as people were forming up squads, spouting off certifications, and putting together a squad with exactly 2 MAX, and a gal pilot. The Galaxy was the cornerstone of player organization in late PS1 beta. It was pretty awesome. Seeing all the galaxies in the cinematic trailer made me think of those first few impressions of PS1 with all the galaxies loading up and flying off.

The gal is definitely the most iconic image of PlanetSide. Its also the thing which strikes home that it is a MMO. Glad to see it takes center-stage in the Cinematic.

[bigcracker]

Watched trailer....

I just came.

Except we won't see that, no enter/exit animations. We will see gals barely slowing down as a whole squad pops inside.

I know, I know, beating a dead horse.

[Landtank]

[Rivenshield]

LOL at the MAXes walking around like statues. I hope that's an AI-demo bug and not an actual animation bug.

[Roidster]

very cool thanks for sharing,i think really the only we haven't seen is the warp gate bases

[CidHighwind]

Oh man! That gal in the cinematic totally CLEGGED! Epic landing...

[Luieburger]

What was the control on the aircraft like? Did you require a joystick/controller or was the flight designed for mouse and keyboard?

[Grinds]

Awesome Video

[Trolltaxi]

Why use Two Steps From Hell: Sons of War when you have such a talented composer like Don Ferrone? (not like 2steps weren't good though)

[NCLynx]

Dat cinematic...

Can't wait to see the full thing.

[Bittermen]

Jizzed in my pants.

[Top Grunt]

It brings tears to my eyes. *sniffles*
I'm not going to say I can't wait for beta like most... Just knowing it's there and it's real is all I need to know. Thank you so much SOE!

[SniperSteve]

Nice stuff! ^_^

And that trailer looks awesome.

[Rivenshield]

I'm not in love with the 'Size Always Matters' motto, but:

THE REBELS
THE VISIONARIES
THE PROFESSIONALS

....speaks to the corporate ethos of each empire, and I dig it. Whoever came up with that sound bite deserves a pat on the back.

[Hamma]

What was the control on the aircraft like? Did you require a joystick/controller or was the flight designed for mouse and keyboard?

You can use either, I prefer mouse and keyboard. :)

Yeah. I'm not too fond of the motto either. Makes the game sound like it is all about zerg strategy or something.

I could totally get used to being called a visionary.

[nathanebht]

Great job on your video Hamma. Its great that you didn't talk all the time and allowed us to hear the in game sounds.

The numerous screenshots added today are quite good looking. Everyone should check them out.

[Warwolf]

Really nice work Hamma. Great video. Thank you for putting that together.

Bio-lab makes me happy.

[FireStormNova]

WOW that is a Bad Azz Cinematic Trailer! I cant wait to see it all!
Also thanks for the walkthrough = its always great to get inside footage of the game I want to play so much!
Really nice work Hamma! I have to say also, you got a lot of good info about the game! Thanks

:cry::wantbeta::cry:

[Tatwi]

I really enjoyed watching this. Your commentary was great, so relaxed and happy. Not too shabby for a TR scumbag. :)

[LordReaver]

Fuck that CGI trailer looks fucking amazing. Going to watch the walkthrough now, can't wait to see the Biodome you guys are talking about!

And do you guys think the CGI trailer is being made by BLUR? They also did the DCUO CGI trailer.

I have had been hoping they would have BLUR make a cinematic, and that video definitely looks like BLUR to me. They make fucking epic cinematics. Even if it's not them, whoever made it did a damn fine job. My only problem with it, is the Galaxy that is landed doesn't have it's engines in the down position.

[Death2All]

Really wish they kept the old motto.

"For Land. For Power. Forever."


"Size Always Matters" is just silly :rofl: But I suppose if it makes people laugh and it's in good taste then why not.


I was so amazed by the Bio Dome. Really looked amazing. And that bit Hamma mentioned about each base being different than the rest really put a smile on my face. Even if it's something as simple as different positioning of capture points I'd be happy.

The only thing that made me go :huh: was indoor land mines. Hopefully that will be ironed out in the future. Cant wait til beta!

[Bags]

Yeah. I'm not too fond of the motto either. Makes the game sound like it is all about zerg strategy or something.

But that is what planetside is all about.

[Kain]

Nice vid Hamma. Watching that in full HD just shows how gorgeous the game world will be.

[Baron]

Still not too keen on the Out-of-Bounds being so restrictive. The devs give us so much freedom and customization, being very careful to promote all different play styles yet severely limit where we can go.

bummer

[goneglockin]

Like the several other people in this thread mentioned; get away from size always matters.

I'm all for a sequel for PlanetSide, but delivered with a a dick joke? Not like this. Not like this!

It doesn't fit and I get that same creepy feeling whenever I watch some Japanese commercial for a product i've never heard of where everyone is way too excited. Something like laundry detergent. At the end someone yells out one English phrase like, "Aha! Pussy fart!"

And the commercial ends, and I stare into the soul of my screen until I can make out individual pixels while thinking, wtf is wrong with *those* people?

That's the vibe your trailer is gonna send out to people who have no idea wtf PlanetSide is; Japanese detergent... pussy farts. Will make about as much sense as I am now.

[Hyiero]

BTW Hamma, the proximity mine was hidden to the bottom left like pressed up against the computers :P

[Anshinritsumai]

May be only a teaser, but it was certainly an amazing birthday present ^^;

[Kitsune]

Dang. You people and your cinematic trailers. Just all get together and make a bloody movie or web series or something xD

But thanks for the gameplay video, was good to see the game again. I had little butterlies in my stomach when I saw the random explosives and tracer fire going everywhere. Can't wait to see a fight with hundreds of people in the same station.

Oh, and thanks for pointing out you have to train into the squad drop, made me feel better that people won't abuse it.

And also thanks for reminding me how far gameplay still needs to go before it's realistic, like damaged aircraft need to smoke an excessive amount if hit in the right spot.

[Drakkonan]

That flyover at 11:00 is probably the coolest thing I've ever heard. Must've been Vanu.

[Aaron]

You know, you could make a pretty epic movie out of Planetside. The characters could do all sorts of crazy stuff because they can just respawn.

[mbarrett]

I would like to know if vehicle hacking is coming back as well as loot , i don't expect them to be at launch but i would like to know is there any plans to add this at a later date as DLC ?

[haticK]

I would like to know if vehicle hacking is coming back as well as loot , i don't expect them to be at launch but i would like to know is there any plans to add this at a later date as DLC ?

They don't want you using other empire's vehicles and I haven't heard anything about looting.

Didn't want to resurrect the Prone topic, and this is an (interesting) interview some of you might have not seen.

6:52. Bipod Attachment

" Bipod : Portable shooting platform attachment "

Prone oriented item?

[haticK]

You can use a bipod without going prone

[Sephirex]

You can use a bipod without going prone

Definitely saw some windows, ledges, and boxes where a bipod would be useful.

[Brambo]

New footage? YES PLEASE. Good naration and everything too. Good job


I saw totalbiscuit's footage already and am always looking for more gameplay to still my unstillable hunger !

[sylphaen]

my unstillable hunger !

Did you mean "insatiable hunger" ? :confused:

[Striker KOJ]

Forgive me if this was answered somewhere else, but is there an option to stop the minimap/compass from spinning around? I would rather North always be on top (and I don't really understand why anyone would like it the way that it was shown in the video, but different strokes I guess). Personally, I find it much easier to tell where you are in relation to what when those "whats" are always in the same orientation. Similarly, I find it easier to call out directions to fellow players when I know that regardless of which way my character is pointing in the world, North is always on the top of the map.

So yeah, anyway to lock the map/compass?

[Brambo]

I probably do :(

Not that I saw but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I wasn't looking ;)

[Striker KOJ]

Thanks for the speedy reply Hamma. Just something to keep my eye out for if/when beta.

[Snipurs]

The Prox mines that got you are http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a173/Snipurs/proxmines.png

[Hamma]

Yea I'm regretting saying that in the video now.. everyone keeps telling me :lol:

[Landtank]

Yea I'm regretting saying that in the video now.. everyone keeps telling me :lol:

That was easily the funniest part of the video, do you know if you can still shoot mines to blow them up?

[FireStormNova]

You can mine indoors. :eek:

Yea thats a new twist = you could never do that befor in PS unless there or different types of mines? Outside/anti-vehicle! inside/anti personnel mine!
Hmmm?
:confused:

[Hamma]

That was easily the funniest part of the video, do you know if you can still shoot mines to blow them up?

Not sure :D

[GuyFawkes]

You can mine indoors. :eek:

I'm actually pleased about this , max crashes ftl , no plasma spam, looking good so far;)

[batliff]

I thoroughly enjoyed you walk through Hamma. Thought it was very informative.

[Hamma]

Thank you! :D 34,000 views on it! More than I ever expected.

[Avarice]

Great walk-through. The game looks so amazing.
