SOE Fan Faire and Planetside 2?

Grimster · 2011-06-15, 05:01 AM

Well I started the E3 thread so why not start a Fan Faire thread since it is less than a month away.

Lets hope we get to see some Planetside 2/Next news there.

I was browsing Twitter and saw that Margaret Krohn(PurrfectStorm) aka Luperza is going to the Fan Faire. Since she is a part of the development team for Planetside 2 that could always be a good sign?

Maybe not a trailer but a official announcement and some screenshots or info would be nice.

EDIT: Here is the direct link if anyone is interested.

Nice. I hope that means some news will come out. I thought I saw her tweet something about "Free Realms" (as working in development on that as well) and writing quest lore (can only thing EQ stuff) so I would take it with a grain of salt.

We can hope though! I should ask her via twitter, she has responded to me and Tigersmith on stuff from time to time.

You know you are a fan that is hard up for info if you are stalking developers on twitter.

Yea

She was also at E3 also though :\

If SOE doesn't hint that a PS2 announcement will happen at Fan Faire, then I'm not going to get my hopes up. I know we'll hear something eventually, but all this silence has gotten old.

For what its worth, I hit her up for info:

Well I have to admit that after I started this thread I took a look at the schedule on the Fan Faire web site. It didn't look to promising.

There hasn't been in years I think, so why are you guys surprised.

That was the same last year, however they added some EQ:Next panels after the announcement... If anywhere, keep an eye out for the community address. If it's not in there, it's not anywhere.

I see so many people say stuff like this. Oh PS wasn't acknowledged in previous years and hasn't been for a while, why would you even expect such a thing.

Because in previous years there wasn't solid evidence that a Planetside 2 was even being worked on, now that there is why shouldn't we hope for any information we can get? Especially at a convention that caters to damn near 100 % SoE games I assume.

EDIT: I mean the Fan Faire, not E3.

It's funny because..

If there in fact wasn't going to be any PS2 news at FF, shouldn't she be allowed to tell us that? I mean, what's the point of hiding, well, hiding 'nothing' basically. It's like trying to hide an empty box, what's the point of that? For the lolz?

Which naturally leads me to overthink the situation, if she can tell us that it wont be there but doesn't. She just tells us that she cannot tell us anything, shouldn't that ultimately mean that there'll be PS2 news at FF?

Or, was the entire "hiding the empty box" phenomenon's purpose to prevent this type of theories in the first place?

Then again, because of this, that entire "box"-theory becomes moot. Because that's ultimately what's spawned this theory in the first place. So the wise thing would be to just say "It's not going to be any PS2 coverage at FF". Which MUST mean that there'll be PS2 news at FF. Period!

(I'm getting confused, I shouldn't think..)

Its like schrodingers cat. As long as we dont see the event yet, there is both news and no news of ps2 at the same time!
