Another day another Dev Interview on the Official Site. Today's interview is with Dev Chat with Kenneth Coker Character Artist for PlanetSide 2.
I originally graduated with a BFA in illustration from the Memphis College of Art in Tennessee. However, I had been learning CG tools in my spare time during college, knowing that I wanted to work in video games or animation. After a few months of freelancing I got hired at Robomodo LLC in Chicago as a character artist for the skateboarding game Tony Hawk: SHRED.

Re: Dev Chat with Kenneth Coker @ Kenneth Coker Arsenal fan eh? Grats on the qualification to next stages of the Champions league, as a Manchester United fan living in Manchester (we were knocked out this evening. Gutted!) that's a pretty tough thing to say. Still we whooped you silly a few months ago, what was it 6-1? So it's all good!

Re: Dev Chat with Kenneth Coker First dev to say he enjoys playing his faction instead of "i like their ideology". Though, it could be that the question is phrased to them "which faction's idology do you like more" |

Re: Dev Chat with Kenneth Coker
maybe they really have learned from all those mistakes they made in the past? it´s a really great strategy, to feed us the bios of everyone on the team to bridge the time until they can present some brandnew ingame stuff for us to drool over! they have realized that we are veeeeery hungry for every little piece of info on the game and the great guys who create this world for us! and giving us these bios keeps us busy and happy! and i think almost every happy fan keeps on promoting the game helping the word going viral! at least it works for me. whenever i talk to gamers who like pvp, i point them in the general direction of ps2 and psu! and everytime i go totally crazy about all the options ps2 will deliver. nobody can believe that ps2 will feature every playstyle you can imagine or know from any other shooter. i totally like the infos on the team members so far! great to learn about the team! now we can start complaining to the responsible guys instead of flaming matt or t-ray for everything! muaharrharrharr!  fun aside, i am impressed so far! we got some really big caliber experienced devs in the team! who was responsible for the recruiting? this guy made a great job! can´t wait to hear about other devs, their previous works, and what they do for ps2 right now! |

Re: Dev Chat with Kenneth Coker These are so much better than the normal credits list that you have to go out of your way to find and read. I can't say I like hearing that about the TR but miniguns do have a certain panache I must admit. Pity about how they need ammo. |

Re: Dev Chat with Kenneth Coker i just hope you guys keep the NC scatter max the same , in terms of same x 3 fire modes , splatter max is one mean Max unit especially with a good player using it , i really hope it stays close to the original scatter max as possible ! |

Re: Dev Chat with Kenneth Coker Personally as an NC player I hope NC gets no faction specific shotguns. Having a common pool shotgun is enough, I HATED being pigeonholed into shotguns, that are niche weapons in general. Well, I don't mind NC specific shotguns, but I want a non-shotgun alternative. NC HA specific weapon being a shotgun? No problem as long as I get equally viable... Heavy Gauss Rifle If I have to use shotguns, fuck that.
