I am now ever more grateful to SOE...

Oh dear merciful god...

So I witnessed something that made me throw up a little in my mouth today; the trailer for another MMOFPS coming out called "Line of Defense".

See here:

And I realized after watching this painful exercise in game development failure that if it weren't for Planetside 2 this would be the only really viable MMOFPS like the original Planetside on the market.

No matter what happens with PS2, I now know that it could be so much worse.

Thank you Higs, T-Ray, and the rest of the dev team.

Oh

. I made a thread about Line of Defense and Derek Smart a while back in the games forum. I thought the game died.

(Not gonna lie, got a little jealous at 2:10).

I can't believe they added mechs at launch. Thats obviously what is going to cause this game to fail.

Looked like the whole trailer was rendered in 3DS Max or something...

Planetside clone :P

Everything was so jerky, it feels more like stop animation to me.

I like the concept. It looks like it could be a cool non-MMO game.

The more I read about what some people on this forum would find acceptable in an item store, people who claim to be against the pay2win concept, the more convinced I become that Sony will fuck it up and make PS2 pay2win.

So I hope this game or something like it comes along and offers a subscription based model.

I saw Derek Smart talking to T-Ray a few times on twitter stating that this game will kick PS2's ass.

HAH

That trailer was horrible. It even looks like they edited the particle effects on the video. And those animations. Damn...

Also like how the beginning of the video states:

''This official trailer features actutal assets and gameplay mechanics'' like it is something amazing.

Rubius · 2012-03-04, 01:59 PM

Wow... people are already bashing this game when the trailer showed NO ACTUAL GAMEPLAY! Yes the animations were clunky, but that doesn't mean the game can't be decent. It also doesn't mean the animations can't be polished for launch.

Interview over at RPS: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012...ne-of-defense/

and I chatted with some of the Planetside developers about this, my biggest concern is that they’re looking to do Planetside 1.5 and I think they’ll regret it. From what I’ve seen and heard, I don’t think they’ve gone far enough.

Oh Derek!

Hamma · 2012-03-04, 06:24 PM

Yea I read that also

I'd agree with him if they were using the old engine like they were planning to originally.

IceyCold · 2012-03-04, 11:08 PM

Planetside 1.5

I think that made me laugh harder because the more I look at the number 256 for players on a cont, all I can think is that this game will be a Derek Smart attempt at "Planetside .5".
