A month to E3

SKYeXile · 2012-05-01, 07:51 PM

So its not long to E3, SOE is in attendance, what do we expect?

Do you think we could see beta prior to E3 so they can showcase PS2's truly massive scale in a live world demo at E3?

Ideally Higby and T-Ray come along and show a trailer with some sort of huge bomb dropping announcement (like beta by July or June), along with a fully playable floor demo. Everyone is blown away by this, and PS2 becomes the next hot game this year to watch. EA and Blizzard Activision then go cry in a corner because their respective games (ie more COD and Battlefield expansion packs) look like absolute crap compared to the awesomeness that is Planetside 2.

Hoping for a new trailer, one that really shows scale.

E3 is exciting every year. This one will be no different.

Really vague I know but it will be worth the wait.

I expected you to be along shortly, but I was expecting a more cryptic response.

I think beta might be announced there, or start happening very shortly after.

I wouldn't go for a live world demo, just in case somebody finds a unique way to make their Sunderer fly upside down and backwards, right at the moment that Higby is presenting it with his back to a giant screen

i think i figured out the hidden message here. if you take out alot of it and take "be" along with the T from "worth" and the A from "wait" and put them together you get BETA!

You cant trick us!

SOE shows off PS2 to the 3 gaming outlets that show any interest because lets be real for a second, if it doesn't have EA, Activision, or a console then it pretty much gets ignored by many outlets. They impress the viewers with a free flowing battle that may involve a large amount of SOE employees playing, hoping for a couple hundred players this time.

MAX will be featured, perhaps it is controlled a little differently from PS1. Everyone enjoys the mechanics, get some random news outlet asking a stupid question. Worst thing SOE can do is have the same content for E3 and SOE Live so I'd prefer them focusing on something manageable for E3 then perhaps around October they will be able to highlight something that will be released close to launch or tease a feature that will be out after launch

One thing I know for sure, they won't get the press they deserve and that is unfortunate

The whole dev team is going to arrive at the show via a hot-drop from an actual real-life Galaxy?

yea true, i dont think they would want that for a live showing.

but if they have a playable demo, i think they would want a large number of beta testers in there to showcase its scale.

A *really* exciting E3 would be one in which I'm ignoring all the news about upcoming games because I'm, I don't know, maybe too busy playing beta! *hint, hint*

lol agreed.

At least we can say we liked it first, before the COD and BF fanboys jump ship and join us.

I seriously have no Idea why people still play COD. I played that game like 2001 and it's the same game just shinier. It still uses the old quake engine for crying out loud!
