News: SOEmote *Could* come to PlanetSide 2

[wraithverge]

so head tracking software attached to a webcam? sounds to me like free look just got infinitely better. I'm all for this.

For a game where 90% of the characters have a helmet obscuring their face I don't know why they'd even bother with this.

[Fara]

No ... no ty.

[Hobitt]

This feature would be great for infiltrators

[Gonefshn]

OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm so afraid lol.

This answer all day!
I am also sure the PS community can think of 1000's of things they would like to see in PS2 other than SOEmote? Dont get me wrong SOEmote is great for a game like EQ but its a waste of time to have it in a game like PS2!

I personaly would like to see a working Weather Environment that could be used in Tactical Warfare!


Well after more research I changed my minde a little. I think most people in the community dont like idea of SOEmote in partly in the fact from the video we have seen , they don't want players makeing silly face. : Insult to injury!
I guess the video could have ben presented better if they where trying to get PS2 community on board.
After looking at a video from Coreldan about the TrackIR it has more value in the way it could be used in PS2.
Also thinking back military squads use different body signals to communicate and not give there location away, but this could probly be done with emots?

If they want to install something like SOEmote please make it later on in the games life , and make it more suited to the game play of PS2 then just making your mouth move when you talk and makeing silly faces?

Honestly, this is stuff I couldn't care less about. It adds nothing to the game for me. I don't even look at faces or tell them apart in a game, let alone watch their facial expressions or mouth movement.

[Bazilx]

Great new idea; instead of a kill-cam, have a face-cam that shows you a 3d rendering of the characters face of the guy who killed you, so he can do stupid faces at you while you are dead, it will revolutionize the gaming industry.

This is the most ignorant idea i have ever herd of for PS. Heres an idea work on beta and make this the best mmo/fps ever, leave it the fuck alone for a few years so i can actually enjoy the game. Then SOE can begin to patch PS2 into a sugar coated terd like ever single other quality tittle has done.

Unicorns and rainbows son. At least be accurate in your response.

[Kayos]

What a stupid feature. I can do without it. Like I'm even going to watch someones face, they'll be dead before they get close enough for me to see it.

[Notturno]

I can think of a hundred other things I would rather see in PlanetSide 2 than this. Not to say it isn't impressive technology, it's just that I don't think it adds anything useful to the experience I am looking for as a gamer in a game like this. I would rather see that development time invested into other features that would enhance the PlanetSide 2 experience, such as additional vehicles, weapons, continents, bases, statistics tracking, stream integration, et cetera.

This just doesn't really align with the genre well. It works great for MMORPGs, but this is an MMOFPS. It's less about socializing in hubs and more about shooting things.

[Folly]

This is fail on soooo many levels. It's sad to see SoE going the way of Nintendo.
