I played PS1 since 2003 as well, its one of the best games i've played and one of my favourites, but people need to unstand we're not getting Planetside 1.5.

Times have moved on. People want to play games competitively, the Esports scene is growing and this game has a massive chance to really mix it up.

I don't want this game to become 100% Esport focused. But they don't need to change anything. The balance is already there from the main game. We need an instanced map with a base in it. Thats it.

if it is picked up by a esl then you can add another 1/2 mill to your game pop.
competitive gaming is huge right now. why not be on a uber team and get paid to own people all day.turn on your tv and see your boys at a major tournament owning people.people dont want this to happen????? thats like sayin i hate money, i hate the sky, i hate apples, i hate my wife,,,, wait bad example.... but you get where im comin from.

I just don't see it happening without ruining the core game.

No i fully agree, but i wouldnt want to see it as a special thing like you say with rating or clan wars in WOT. there should be a map or acouple for it for it with 2 tech plants and hold tournaments for it every few months or something.

Competitive pvp was something we all looked for in PS1, HT, PCP and FC ~~had~~ attempted Tods at private towers regularly and there was about 18 outfits from each server that signed up for compete in outfit wars.

the regular game is good and all, but outfit wars totally changes the way you play the game and i think its good to have some variety in the game.

The problem is that esports organizations in other games are struggling to actually make money when the teams have five people. Completely ignoring whether or not PS2 would be a good spectator sport, which I also don't agree is true, it simply wont be feasible for any tournament organizer to try to split the pie between teams of fifty.

Edit: Thank you Hamma.

i dont think it could be an esport per say, but it could be competitive pvp.

You're killing me!

Just because a game has more than one dynamic, doesn't suddenly change the entire philosophy and idea behind the game.

It widens the audience it pulls to it, makes it more competitive and builds a new community around it, enhances the community already there by adding a competitive mode for Outfits to fight in.

If its done right, its doesn't effect the main part of the game at all. Enhances that if anything, makes it more interesting when Outfits meet each other in the field.

Honestly don't understand what the fuss is about. I just think you're all terrified of adding something new into the game because it destroys your nostalgic view of PS1.

enrollment would be the same im sure, the pot would be 10x bigger.

Right, but you will absolutely not see ESL or MLG or any other tournament "pick up" PS2 like Rumblepit was suggesting.

I'd be interested to hear why.

Rumblepit · 2012-05-30, 09:24 PM

aswell

phazon · 2012-05-30, 09:25 PM

no shot because the game is too pub oriented as well as 99% of the attracted fan base

let the game be what it was meant to be...a unique and fun pub game

if anyone even mentions bf3 comp as a comparison you're opinion is already invalid

i could go on for hours w/ reasons why ps2 couldn't be a valid esport regardless of the scale, just like bf3

too many people and without support for it by SOE, its hard. also with no real prime focal point and +60 players, it makes for hard watching to see who's winning.
