Dude looks like he is working his ass off. Thanks for finding the interview, Bravic! I almost thought he was going to let some sort of date slip at the end there. So close.

Matt Higby showing off the sternum bush.

Wondering, how does one cloak, snipe, and shoot rockets at the same time in PS1?

Man, I thought we were so close to getting an actual date at the end! hah

Higby looks annihilated. I'm sure answering the same questions over and over again going through his whole schpeel of what PS is gets tiring after awhile. He looks as if will be permanently exhausted for the rest of his life and his relationship with his wife is in jeopardy because he doesn't take her to enough movies.

The mark of a good game developer.

I'm sure there is some Jetlag involved as well.

I'm sure that will mostly be jetlag and the 14+ hr days of public attention etc that takes it out of you

"Where continents are dozens of square Kms"

Starting off with just one isn't so bad, now is it?

Certainly sounds better than the 4kmx4km that had been the belief

4x4 = 16km²

Thats more than a dozen. and even if ment 2 dozen, it would still be just 5x5=25km²

I forgot about the squared part. Still, the maps in SWG are larger than 5x5 Kms so I would imagine that Smed's comment "seamless on a scale you've never seen before" is more along the lines of 25x25 Kms.

That would be indeed epic.

In all those years playing games, i figured that in every game you have the same issue: Bigger map = Harder to capture. With something like 25x25, a single continent would be much bigger than cyssor is these days, and with the territory system instead of the lattience, taking such a continent entierly is pretty much impossible, even if you have all 333 guys of your empire in outfits working well together.

Such big maps would even make more sense with sancs on them. it wouldnt matter anymore at some point. Hmmm.

Re: Matt Higby Gamespot Interview


Matt Higby, whether or not the Red Bull can was only an empty prop, or you actually poured so much liquid sleep into yourself in one go, that was probably the best way to start an interview that I have seen in my life. You're an Internets hero in my book and deserve all the vacation you need.

Now, I may not have played in a while, but since when is PlanetSide 1 "very popular"?

I also love how all the devs stick to the "thousands of players at the same time" statement. They're not jumping between that and "hundreds" or "over a thousand". Makes it all seem real.

Seeing Higby so worn out makes me almost feel bad for leaving 20 questions for him on Reddit..............


I wonder how the rest of the team is feeling. I think they should all just have one day to chill. And then get back to being our slaves and making our game out NOW!
