News: Video of GDC Media Event

[Coreldan]

I hope not many see that Gametrailers video as opposed to the actual demo part. That does not sell well

[Oryon22]

Sometimes I take a step back and think: "I can't believe this is happening".

When Higby was saying this is a dream come true... it really is.

[BlazingSun]

I am a very picky person, but I have to approve what I just watched. Sure there are things I didn't like that much, like the killcam, the personal shields (?), the big markers on enemies, the NC infantry armor (except the recon), and the time to kill, which seemed a bit too fast ... but those are things that can be worked out in beta.

Despite all those points of criticism i just brought up, my urge to play this game has never been greater than today.

I'm a bit late to this thread. Don't really know what to say here. It's just...

[Jennyboo]

Very exciting stuff course as a gamer I have some concerns about thing I have seen but I know it's just Alpha. I also know that the whole dev's team has promised to listen to the community and the players likes and dislikes so I look forward to beta even more now:P I can honestly say I have no desire to play any other game after seeing that footage

I would like to say I'm so very happy with all the dev support on the fourms. I would like to thank them all for the time they spend really listening to all of us.
I personally think they are going in the right direction to quote T-ray "The players are the content." ...I am very excited!!! Thank again to all the hard working Dev's

Let's all be honest here, some of the funniest moments we've all had in gaming have come because of killcams.

In fact, I just reminded myself of a video I have over on Bungie from a loong time ago now. If it weren't for killcams this kind of thing wouldn't happen!

The entertainment and hilarity that comes from killcams and the activities people undertake as a result of them shouldn't disappear in my opinion. I know a lot of people take their games very VERY seriously, but we all blow off steam and doss around from time to time, right?

I couldn't see ... but are you implying that there is no 'kill spam' box and it is replaced by the kill cam?

Noooo, 'kill spam' has got to return.

[TacosWLove]

Fuck yes! Very nice, shaping up quite well here

Also... hex grid map shot seems to indicate there are ~60 outposts / facilities to cap per cont.

He stepped in front of me! I swear!

Regardless, good shot.

You'll really make something out of yourself if you join the VS, you're half-way there!

Totally agree. The killcam is just an overall bad idea in a game like this. I understand that they really wanna be Battlefield, but some things just don't translate well. It's important in a game like this for people to be able to evade detection, strike from unexpected angles, and keep the enemy guessing.

What are snipers supposed to do? The first guy you kill outs you to his buddies, or respawns and comes right back to grease you.

Killcams = bad idea.

[Surge72]

I don't like how you just instantly spawn on squad members.

What happened to there being restrictions on this, such as only being able to do it outside, and coming down in a drop pot ALA the HART? I REALLY hope this changes. It's too far from Planetside otherwise.

I like where you're going with this idea of a big, bad central "heart" to an empire participating in a particular battle, but to make it both a dropship and a spawn vehicle just seems like poor designing. I would say you should have made two separate vehicles for each roll (and the AMS on top of that), but in line with the whole customisation thing, I think you should at least make sure that it can't fulfill both functions (you have to remove the transport "slots" to put spawn tubes in it), so somebody can make it a dropship OR a spawn point.

Quote from a different Thread.

I Just REALLY REALLY loved this idea.

Sooner or later he might learn more situational awareness.
