Is planetside gonna become EvE/SW:Galaxies?

It's Battlefield 3 on a really big map where the round doesn't end. It isn't ever going to be anything even remotely resembling EVE. Or Dust 514, for that matter (in terms of fighting etc having actual consequences that is).

I might be the only one but I really wish PS2 could have been a Warhammer 40k game instead. Instead of VS, NC, and TR you could have Orks, Marines and Eldar. All you would have to do is replace some models.

Just wishful thinking I guess. Still looking forward to PS2.

A space expansion I can see. You have orbital battlefleets that are stationary like the untouchable bases on the ground. From there you fly boarding craft to large satellite stations that control orbital weapons and drop pods( drop pods giving you the ability to drop anywhere on the map). Space fighters and large galaxy size combat vessels duking it out would be pretty epic. A special feature on the space stations could be where an attacking for could shut down the gravity on the space stations, or have spacesuits that could magnetically attach to the hull of the station so that they could access hatch ports only operable from the outside.

They could also setup moons with low gravity in which you assault a mining station for resource control. Set them up so that they have different vehicles only usable on the moon like rovers and small max-like walkers (not BFRs mind you).

I think PlanetSide 2 will be one of the next big Sandbox games, although we dont know much about what they have planned yet they certainly have hinted at it quite a bit.

[Sifer2]

Did I imagine it or did they once say they were going to announce their 2 or 3 year plan for the game so players could tell them what they wanted? If so I wonder when that is going to happen. Launch?

I think its safe to say we know they will add more continents, and equipment. They also hinted at the possibility of NPC's an PvE content if the playerbase is happy with that. And im sure we will see the resource system be expanded, and tied into more of the metagame as it goes on.

As for it being EvE. That might be a little hard to do an possibly against the spirit of the game. Since its more about the Empire in Planetside than your individual little Outfit. I hope they don't go too far there an turn it into a game where Empires are fractured into hundreds of Outfits with their own agenda's who only cooperate if its mutual gain.

Yes there is a 5 year plan (I think it is 5) Pretty sure the plan has already been written.

[The Kush]

Sounds lame. Please no
