Today is the first day of October and it was a very busy week to end out September! Monday was the PC Gamer PlanetSide 2 Preview, followed up on Tuesday by Comm-Link Art on the Official site. Wednesday we got a video of artist Patrick Ho building a Spawn Tube for the game as well as an interview. Thursday Matt Higby was interviewed by VideoGamer.com which revealed some interesting information, and Friday Massively posted an interview with Tramell Isaac as well as 3 new screenshots! Last but not least was the Twitter Developer interview which we have summarized here on PSU.

There was also various developer interactions both here, and on other websites. Higby dropped by PSU to clarify how the air vehicles will be in PlanetSide 2 and even revealed a new VS air vehicle called the Dyson.

Each empire has their own unique air fighter in PS2. The Reaver belongs to NC, the Mossy is TR. The VS have a new fighter that we're currently calling the Dyson, although that may change (and no, it's not powered by cyclone technology or a smarty-pants British accent).

Each has slightly different flight mechanics, strengths, weaknesses and capabilities which help to reinforce and round out the empire.

Each of these fighters will serve multiple roles depending on how the player loads out the vehicle, you can configure any of them to be more air-to-air orientated, air-to-ground orientated, etc. You'll be able to change out afterburners to get more speed, or armor to get more durability, countermeasures, radar dampening, etc. We're working on a lot of really cool gameplay here, I think you all will be stoked and I can't wait to share a bit more about them soon! =)

Higby also noted that he took this screenshot just the day before it was posted.

I actually took that screenshot yesterday running around reviewing an area on Indar... I ran up the stairs and it looked awesome so i snagged it - so yeah, that's definitely in game, in engine, and at playable frames per second.

Higby also dropped by Reddit and dropped a few tidbits.

We won't be as fast as BFBC2. We'll land somewhere between there and current Planetside for TTK. The overall pacing is a lot more than just TTK, though. Travel speed, speed to get into battles, % of downtime, etc. We want all that stuff a lot faster than PS1.

There will still be lots of opportunity for slower paced, less hectic gameplay, but in general we're going for a faster paced feel. Now, that doesn't mean we're making it anything like MW or UT - those are games we like a lot, but it's not Planetside and it never will be.

We're building everything in this game from the ground up with the pacing in mind, so any assumptions based on PS1 mechanics (i.e. infiltrators are screwed in a faster paced game because they don't have armor!) don't fly.

Discussion is hot on the forums as well the community discussing the new implementation of kill cams, the confirmation of the TR MAX Lock Down, and the new pace of combat. As always stay tuned to PlanetSide Universe for the latest news!
