[Tikuto]

Interesting. Someone on top of the building in the distance ... but what is that they're stood next to?

Probably because they still working on the Vanu art assets, always gonna take more time to finish the best looking side

Also did anyone else use chrome to translate the blog, quite funny reading the chinglish it comes up with.

Today is # planetside2 # old Zhang Gaoqing game players to send a second screen in the hope that this most visual material so that we planetside2 an impression. Look forward to it!

Notes about the screenshots:

- Depth of Field effect looks great; I can't wait to see this engine in action!
- Only the Rexo suit has the orange buckle, the others are gray
- The landscape detail is incredible, look at the number of polys just on a single hillside in shot 1
- What's that translucent green tube on the left side of the tower -- a texture or an elevator shaft?
- In shot 1, the two guys on the right appear to be wearing black jetpacks
- As someone above mentioned, the guy on the right side is definitely flying and not jumping. Same pose as a Tribes jetpacker
- Hard to tell, but the left-most guy in shot 2 seems to be balancing realistically on that rock, a not-so-common feature seen Euphoria games
- Shot 1 shows off some very rough/impassible terrain that will make jetpacks and air vehicles a lot more useful on certain continents
- The texture detail is great -- look at that serial number on the rifle
- That MAX looks pretty bored up there on the tower
- No wonder the TR are featured first -- that VS in the background is entering the fight with a leaf blower

lol NC dead on floor. I didnt see that until just now xD

The armor looks cool all scuffed. I wonder if thats an effect of being higher BR or just standard.

If the former i think it would be cool.

The "jump" pack is going to open up the game for e-hate from the Halo community... I can't believe they said tribes ascend copied halo for the jetpacks... stupid console gamers... I sometimes wonder, but anyways. I'm digging the jump packs, just enough juice for a hop maybe 30 feet, I lets not take away from Tribes, plus... imagine the FUBAR action with 100 agiles jumping around LOL!!! I'm assuming while in jump the crosshair is going to fully dilate.

Pshh, those kids were already saying that crap when the teaser was released. I wouldn't worry too much about those comments. Once people see the sheer scale of this game, they'll be eating those words.

Let them cry. The further console kids stay from PS2 the better.

?

Higby said in the panel I believe that infantry thrusters would not be as powerful as MAX jump-jets, and would be used mostly to pass hazardous terrain

Great stuff!

They look like ports for enigeers to place turrets, hopefully they'll be a lot of different turret variants to customize!.

yay! Good to see the incredible detail in the textures. Also that dead NC looks like somewhere I've been before...

Looks like an aircraft of some sort to me, kind of resembles the mossie imo.

Looks like a MAX unit on the right and some sort of aircraft that's landed, I think it looks like a mossie...
