So an acquaintance of mine saw a video about Planetside 2 for the first time...

So an acquaintance of mine who has never heard of PS saw a video of PS2 for the first time. I tell him that I played PS1, thought it was the best game ever and am really looking forward to PS2. He said, "Yeah it looks cool. I hope the multiplayer will be as good as the single player mode looks."
I lol'd. Just thought I'd share this funny story.
To have this thread be of some worth, please share your funny PS/PS2 stories! Thx!

Gotta ask, what video did he think he was viewing single player?

[Novice bot]

- Log in the first time
- I have no idea what I'm doing
- Some dawg approaches me
- Helps me out
- "Here are you orders, you are to guard this location" (He was higher rank than me, and the military backbone goes stupid says stupid does)
- Go to the tower like thing
- Sit there for two hours in "guard duty"
- Realize you've been tricked all along.

you havent seen the awful ps2 trailer apparenly. Its totally absurd with some superman runnin over tanks, dropping nades down the hatch, leapfrogging from galaxy to galaxy, shooting thru vehicles with a simple rifle, and taking out armies all by himself. Its totally retarded and nothing to do with actual gameplay. Maybe that works as a single player game with some super hero fighter thing but its not PS in the least. Its so bad i wont even tell friends about it, they would laugh and/or think the game was somethin else completely. Too bad, since the game has the potential for epic real trailers with actual things you could do in the game instead of all the make believe stuff that will never happen at all and just looks ridiculous.

Don't mind him. He's just grumpy after seeing what's gonna happen to his faction once he steps into the game. As soon as he gets his binky (the Terran centered trailer) he'll stop fussing.

Lmao yea.


I have to say though... They could have went in a much better direction with the trailer.

Yeah, this is a pre-beta trailer though. They'll probably have a different one for launch.

[Timithos]

When I tell people about this game through email or a forum, I provide all the links I have to in-game footage only. I refuse to send any trailers.

A few years ago I saw this cool game looking over my brothers shoulder.
He had a PS1 Beta key from fileplanet. I got myself a key pronto.

Seeing the Sturmgrenadiers recruitment video defined this game for me, but alas they were on the US servers.

Sony have the cinematic version.
Create the gameplay equivalent.
Scale it up slowly from soliders, to squads, platoons, empires. Really show off how big the game is.

That last scene when the Vanu assault force rises.
Record that, with real players.

That's what the game is.

I always thought PS2 was 100% single player with this INCREDIBLY human-like AI....

It's recording all the 'voip' messages that's taking them so long. So many voice actors...

Not to mention the coding that goes into making sure the right messages play at the right times and getting all the cussing, swearing, and casual racism good enough to feel authentic.

PS2 will make COD "set pieces" look boring with it's normal gameplay
