Something to happen on 25th?

[Coreldan]

Not sure if this deserves it's own thread, and I know the trailer is shown at that day, but wonder if something else is going on...

Paraphrased:

"Chance for some beta keys!"
-merp derp herp-
"Make sure you keep the 25th clear then! [BetaKeyBill]"
here's your key XXXX-XXXX etc

Wouldnt need all of 25th just to watch one cinematic, right?

[Arkanor]

The way everything else has been hyped I'm expecting nothing but disappointment.

[LazyBonez]

I would guess/hope beta is starting that weekend since they stated closed beta will begin this month and there being only one weekend left. If they follow how other MMO's have in the past invites will go out over the week and there will be a schedualed beta test over the weekend.

If this is indeed the case then.... :thumbsup:

[Anubisstargate]

This is true, I mean the tech test was put out on the same night as AGN's interview with Higby. :P So I'm feeling the same .... "Here's the trailer and here's the email"

The trailer is just going to distract us from checking our emails xD

I'm not expecting more than the cinematic either.

On the 25th, they'll reveal their real-life experimental Galaxy with full-scale VTOL jets and drop guys in flight to present their new PS2 CG movie.

Those present at the SOE Command Center studios during the event will be offered to participate in a raffle to win Red camo army pants/blue jeans/purple italian-silk trousers. They will pair nicely with their faction's collectible t-shirts, dogtags, shoes and boxers.
:groovy:

Hype ? :D

Yeah must be something more than just cinematics, beta invite seems plausible or announcement of what sort of marketing is going to happen.

If I don't see a TV ad I will be disappoint! :)

[Greenthy]

It will not be more than the cinematic :)

Their plan is to keep a single day hyped for every week we're waiting.
So all the focus is kept on those days.

We'll all be hoping its our beta invites, and in the end it'll just be a nice movie/event/...
It's the way Hype is built up these days.

Unless its a 24 hour cinematic movie!

[Coreldan]

I wont be home until friday that week, so I'm mostly gonna be mostly watching you guys either be disappointed or happy on that day here on the forums :D

Even if I'd get in that day, no chance until friday :P With some luck I might be able to get my fiancee to start the downloading process so I dont have to wait 1½ days for it to download on my 1mbit net...

Pics or it didn't happen.

a trailer with another date at the end of it

Truer then it should be.

Also @planetside2 tweets have proven to be an unreliable and easily misinterpreted source.

[Atheosim]

They clearly expect us to re-watch the trailer all day and night.

[basti]

I already have the 25th marked as "the great Ban day of PSU", just in case. :D

For all the NDA breaking? Or just general revenge and spite?

[disky]

I'm sure I would do it anyway.

[Comet]

I doubt they will release any information about beta. The dev team and smedley said the tech test will take as long as it takes (more or less anyway) so how can they commit to a day that's a week away?

If they were ready to move forward, they'd just do it, not have an 8 day countdown to it.

[Kayos]

It's probably just the video

[Shadowrath]

I'm sure revenge and spite ;D

What event happend last friday? Did somebody get a hair cut? What was that hair cut to mean?

[Rivenshield]

What, you're not...?

People from the outside world started playing the game on the beta servers. Around these parts it's called a 'tech test'.

Something to happen on the 25th:

More disappointed people who didn't get emails.

People need to stop thinking that out of the hundreds of thousands of people available they'll be one of the lucky few. If they don't stop that kind of mindset, they're delusional. Like the people who buy scratch offs and dream of what they'll do with the money.

Are you saying people shouldn't have hope to get in the Tech Tests?

[DarkChiron]

Yes. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

[Sabot]

24 hour cinematic? I very much approve of this!

[capiqu]

The minute I saw the sneak preview of the trailer and then the clock count down to the July 25 premier of the video I couldn't help hoping that this trailer will be the kickoff to beta. Lets hope.
I mean what would be the purpose of a sneak preview of a trailer and then give us a countdown to the full version. Doesn't make sense to me, something else could be in the works.

[Sephirex]

I'm very excited for the 25th.
After all, I get better looking every day.

[Minigun]

At the current rate this is going Fall semester will be starting, so much for thinking i was going to be testing the game all summer, they must really want me to make bad grades this Fall.
