[Biscuit]

holy frackin crap. amazing.

big step up

[SixShooter]

Any new vid is a good vid now that we're in that awkard space between E3 and beta.

[DirtyBird]

Sweet video, short but sweet.

[Khrusky]

This is certainly an easier trailer to show someone than the last one.

I kind of feel like it's the first one to truly try and capture the overall flow of assault and capture, even if it is in such a condensed form.

If they keep working on these, then we should see some truly fantastic trailers by launch.


Oh, and

[Majordopehead]

this video produced a tactical boner

[Brusi]

I like how they are producing their teasers in-house, using gameplay footage. I expect they are enjoying doing them too... overtime machinima nights with pizza and beer, maybe

Looked really good!

If referring to the general frame-rate and lag, the E3 and other totalbiscuit streams are always being relayed through multiple systems, thus making the game look choppier then it actually is.

If you are referring to other things, then carry on.

[FireStormNova]

Nice to see new pictures and video's ! Too short this time thoe =)

[Greeniegriz]

*Contented Sigh* That was just what I needed...

Cheers,

[DarkChiron]

Damnit. I gotta be a part of this game soon. All this non-VS badassery must be remedied!

I'm not sure if you're serious, but I'll proceed under the assumption that you are, since we've got a lot of folks around these parts for whom English is not their first language.

"Size. Always. Matters." is the slogan. And it's what's known as a double entendre, meaning it's intended to have two meanings. Typically, one of those meanings is considered risque or suggestive, usually in a sexual sense.

So, looking at the phrase and taking it at face value, the slogan implies that Planetside 2 is a more awesome game than its competition because it's bigger in scale. More players on a map, bigger maps, persistent world instead of rounds...

The risque way to read that plays off the suggestion that the size of one's male member plays a significant role in his ability to sexually satisfy his partner.

"Sex sells," is the marketing term that applies here.


As for me, I kind of like the slogan. It's playful, just a little self-aware of its cheesiness, and yet kind of loud and in your face with it's bold declarations. A good match for the generally male-centric video-gaming market.


I also liked the trailer well enough. It unapologetically went after the game's strong points, trying to draw you into a battle and make it seem big and exciting, with lots of action shots. Some of the staged shots where you just see guys shooting off-screen continued to look canned and a little dull, but there were plenty of more dynamic shots where you could see both sides of the conflict behaving sensibly, and I particularly liked the ones that implied off-screen action, as well, like when the aircraft would swoop through the shot in the background. I could do with a few less explosions, though I certainly understand that the devs are proud of the lighting and particle effects in their engine, and want to show them off.

Mechanically, I'm interested to see how the door fields work and what they will do to shape the game flow. The interior of the tech plant looks more interesting than last we saw it, which is also encouraging.

Better video than the E3 one that's for sure. Music could still use some work.

Graphics are still breathtaking.

[The Janitor]

Pretty good stuff.
