Is it just me, or does Higby have a serious dinosaur fetish? I'd wager we'll see some Jurassic Park event in PS2s future at some point.

No real new information, but I did like reading the bit about Reaver customization. Speaking of the customization, they are really making sure to be clear that each unlock is a trade off. i.e. lower armor but more speed. So we won't have slider bar type options for customization, but rather Mk1 - Mk4 versions. That should make balancing considerably easier.

No kidding... I really would like a mountable Flying T-Rex w/ rocket pods though. Purchasable Reaver holocloak anyone? hehe.

Nice find btw and thanks for scanning that

IIRC, similar footage had a harasser flying around at a fixed height, clearly a placeholder for some aircraft (probably mosquito). Can't find it now.

Either that or he's mocking my creatures thread. I can't tell.

Would crack me up if they've been secretly adding creatures to the game world and he can't talk about it so he's just been slipping it into conversation as much as possible.

Speaking of that Terra Nova is on tonight. Maybe he's been watching commercials for it.

Just got back from my vaycay, and now this! Is this like PC Gamer UK or something? I think I can get that sort of thing here in Poland, but I need to know what to look for.

Last, but most important info: picture 4, bottom right corner.

Release: 2012.

At least not 2013... and beta may come sooner

am i the only person that over analyzed that second picture and tried to figure out what kind of base that is? lol

After reading the bit about fighter customization and the Reaver, I'm starting to wonder if the Reaver isn't the NC fighter variant, like the TR Mossquito... Meaning that a "gunship" is essentially an air-to-ground version of the "empire-specific fighter".

Any screen shot is welcome. I need more. To the DEVs that have been playing/testing this game the in-game graphics may not be a big deal anymore.

Me ? I'm starving for more signnificant PS2 morsels to get me thru.

Give us some in-game video. It can just be driving/walking/flying around the new environment(s), getting an idea of the game mechanics, vehicles, uniforms, game audio, ..... it doesn't have to be all weapons-based action. I'll be satisfied "SEE"ing the PS2 world. Sure, some action would be ideal. At this point - ANYTHING is better than nothing. The screen shots are nice, but I think we deserve more.

Make it well-over 4 minutes. I'd watch 7 minutes of the PS2 world OVER, and OVER, and OVER,....and OVER..... I think SOE needs to start releasing video. Not just for the immediate PS community - but for the players from other games they hope to attract. RELEASE THE VIDEO. FEED THE NEED.....it will help spur DEMAND and interest from the broader gaming community. We're already here. SOE needs to start throwing chum in the water.

Hey DEVs ....... FEED THE NEED.

thnx

That's enough to get some serious hopes up... but magazines like this have been wrong in the past.

Still... hopeful.

I'm right there with you, dude. I keep trying to remind myself though that the map they are playing on now is most likely just a testing area and not an actual in-game continent. I could be wrong though.

I don't care if it makes it in the game. Give me SOMETHING to WATCH. I feel like I'm going thru withdrawals.

Am I the ONLY One dying for some extended in-game video ? I want to "SEE" this new PS2 place and get any "FEEL" that I can for how it might look and sound.

I know.

I'm begging for some in-game video. I make no apologies for my desperate pleas. I'm "asking" for it cuz I'm juiced to see more ..... until the game actually launces.

no worries
