SOE marketing team?

[krnasaur]

Did a decent job with DCUO. Where is PS:N's love?

[Rbstr]

The game hasn't even been officially announced yet.

Good enough?

[Bags]

Regardless of the above post, I don't think they have one!

[DviddLeff]

I think its pretty safe to assume that the game will be officially announced Q1/2 with a website if we are lucky, then it will follow the usual waiting until it actually gets released.

Again, if we are lucky we may get it released this year rather than next.

[Furret]

We'll be lucky if this game gets released.

By released I mean marketing, commercials, hype, and then the day where it comes out being a big day at gamestop/such. Not just: uhh hey guys, we made this game and its open now. shhh dont tell anyone.

I'd guess the reason DCUO had great marketing was they likely had financial backing from DC comics and Warner Brothers Games.

Planetside has no extra love outside of SOE.

Those trailers with DCU are incredible if you ask me. I would be impressed if PS:N had anything similar trailer wise even a few notches below that.

[Miir]

I agree. Those trailers were awesome!

I hope PS:N gets a CGI trailer this time.

[krnasaur]

Hell, i bought DCUO just because of the spectacular commercials and trailer. If it did not have those i would never know the game existed.

[Raymac]

I don't think it's fair to compare DC with PS. The DC intellectual property is a little more well known and has a few more resources behind it than the Planetside "franchise".

If there is a trailer for PS:N that even comes close to the DCUO trailer, you will fucking die. Your fucking heads will explode and your bodies will melt into a goo of blood and sperm. SOE is just looking out for our health.

You make death sound so appealing.

Im thinking an EVE style trailor would be epic, anyone remember the "scope" news blurps they did for one of the expansions? That was epic.

If we had something like field footage coming up for a couple mins of the Terran Republic storming a New Conglomerate (the fact that spell check isn't bitching about my spelling of that makes me worried since im sure i fucked it up) battle line, with the Vanu Suddenly coming in on an air raid or something, then at the end the camera gets killed by an EMP or something worse and it just cuts to the logo and release date.

BAM! everyone's heads explode and SOE sees the greatest sales ever as the survivors run to nearest store and get in like 3 months before it comes out.

[Hamma]

EVE has always done an awesome job with their trailers.

Orbita Strike or bust

For reference look up that new EVE/Dust514 video. Our trailer needs to be about 20% cooler!

If the trailer was just Planetside: Next fading in, playing the old soundtrack I would still probs cream myself
