Re: Realistic and Futuristic


Future/Realistic can be done and done well, see PlanetSide 1 and Battlefield 2142 as examples. There IS one option I would like to see added to this poll though: "What is the best balanced/fun".

I would like PS2 to be a little more lethal gunfire wise than part 1, especially with head shots added in. But it doesn't have to be instant kill on everything ala Call of Duty because the fights will be so large scale with vehicles/machine guns our poor squishy asses need to at least be a bit durable. I figure +33% leathalness and head shots will make PS2 plenty fast enough for our tastes as players.

As for "magical abilities", (can we just call them Biotics like in Mass Effect?) they should be kept relatively low key compared to other futuristic RPG games. PS = Planetside, not Phantasy Star here. PlanetSide has always been a game about putting your cross hairs on something and shooting, not casting magic spells with dice rolls. That said, maybe Brink style class abilities (like armor/weapon buffing for engies, high cool down AOE rez grenades for medics, special grenades for the infantry specialist, for example) that can fudge the line between realism and 'sci fi fantasy' would work well here.
