Just wanted to make an observation and, hopefully, provoke some discussion.
There's almost 500 votes in that poll, and I think it's pretty awesome that the interest in each faction is spread very evenly. Of course we're biased and it may work differently for people who will see PS2 for the first time, plus there's a lot more information about the TR and NC than the VS, but still...
I just think it's an amazing feat by the current PS2 team, as well as the original PS1 team. To create 3 very different factions and give each enough appeal to spread out the interest as evenly as this. Let's hope the current results translate into the actual game.
