News: FPS Guru Live Interview Friday

[sylphaen]

Overall, decent interview for beginners but crippled by many technical issues.

Questions were mainly about explaining the concept of PlanetSide to a non-MMOFPS crowd (e.g. Will fighting be instanced or sandboxed ? Will there be vehicles ? etc... )

Good for viewers who heard about PlanetSide and what a MMOFPS can be. IMO, TRay and Higby did a great job in explaining everything while also conveying a lot of excitement.

The interviewer seemed somewhat distant from the topic of his interview.

[VelRa]

This sucks but Higby rocks

[Brusi]

i didn't get any ads... maybe ad-blocker?

[dorgo]

the interviewer is total crap, should be Hamma doing this

[Crazyduckling]

stream just dropped again. wowwee.

[Synical]

Did someone really just ask if Planetside 2 has vehicles?

I know it's not really mainstream, but come on, why waste time asking questions like that

At least TRay and Higby ran with the question and expanded on it giving new people an idea of just how crazy the customization of loadouts is going to be.

Edit - Oh and yeah, the interviewer is really doing an awful job.

[VelRa]

No one asked if there is hit detection either, but that's how this guy interpreted it...

I think the interviewer doesn't know a whole lot, so he attributes questions to the chat, even though we didn't ask it.

[FIREk]

The stream was absolutely pathetic... :/

[Johari]

So I only caught like MAYBE half of that becaues of the issues we had with it continuously going offline and whatnot.

Thanks for trying but you gotta make sure your stream is prepared for something like this.

[Mod]

Well, props to the T man and Higgs for taking the time out to do the interview...

Had to stop listening half way through they as it was quite painful. I think the kindest thing we can say is that the stream didn't quite go as planned.

[Graywolves]

Stream was clegged up real bad.


Higby and Tray rocked it like they always do.



But the two questions I heard were:
'Vehicles?'
'Hit Detection?'

[Burnzblood]

Did Arclegger drop a Galaxy on that stream or what? Hopefully its re-posted w/o interruptions.

[Bags]

Didn't radarx say that we'd gleam something of interest?

[Crazyduckling]

End of stream thoughts:

I'm pretty sure they started early, so if the stream was working then, I missed it. The stream kept cutting out, and i watched a thousand ads. Same questions as always.

1/10 would not watch again.

He said he wouldn't be surprised (doesn't mean yes or no), but the interviewer had no idea what to ask.
