In either case I theres still probably plenty of time for new, more gameplay sensitive trailers. Not to mention inevitable beta footage that people will sink their teeth into.

They didn't do it to show off armor designs....but honestly I don't know why they did that.


Maybe they were bots...Maybe they were trying to make it look epic but failed...IDK but they screwed up.

We're just giving feedback. I don't have to like everything SOE puts out just because I like the game.

[Anderz]

Not bad, but not the kind of trailer that is going to turn heads, I'm afraid.

It's all up to the hands-on gameplay now!

[Satexios]

That music... brings back memories..

What's the budget of PS2 anyway? 30 Million?

If I didn't know about Plantside, I would think the game is free 2 play game that wasn't good from the trailer..

I know is free 2 play but Planetside 2 looks way better in actual gameplay

If this is their official E3 trailers, that's really sad. And it's really really bad for the game. Because it has potential, but the trailers just don't do it justice.

Exactly is sad that some people are gonna be like, why are all people just standing still shooting at eachother.

SOE needs to know the truth...Maybe this trailer was good back in 2003 but today, this is not a good trailer.

[Jennyboo]

i thought it was really good reminded me of recruitment video Which side are you on? pretty sweet.. loved the music!!

No trailer can do PS2 justice. Only gameplay can. If people need reassurance that PS2 will be great, tell them to go watch the GDC demo.

Oh and because people have worked on it, we can't have an opinion and share it?

If you go to the restaurant and that your food is disgusting/cold/whatever, you'll just eat it and not even complain once?

You must be a cool customer!

Now that you mention it they definitely seem like bots. I would have waited until beta or a large play test to get some solid trailer footage rather than using bots that won't even be in the game. As someone else mentioned, it just looks like poor gameplay if you haven't played Planetside before.

Were they really bad? But, but, that's how I used to play!

This trailer reminds me of the first one with more variety i.e. MAX units and heavy assault. There isn't much substance beyond establishing that it is a first person shooter with air vehicles, tanks, and mechanized armor suits between three factions. The voice-overs could have been done better (would have preferred WE instead of I) but they get the point across and everything looks good enough to grab your attention. It might just be my past experiences creating bias but this battle seems somewhat flat/staged in terms of scale and when compared to the fluidity of an actual battle. Too many infantry and ground vehicles not moving all at once. It is probably difficult to portray the experience in a trailer but I would recommend that the feature you guys are building in to capture video and upload directly to YouTube be routed to SOE during Beta so that we can constantly feed the marketing machine, could also be a good tool for identifying and submitting bug reports.

The music is superb, gives me goosebumps every time I re-watch.

I'm happy to see any and all gameplay footage but RAWR I WANT MORE STREAMING TIME!

[Death2All]

That trailer was amazing. You really can't say that about most trailers now adays.



"Size Always Matters". Oh wow

[Tatwi]

Because I can swear here...

Guys, this trailer fucking rocks! Thank you!
