T-Ray Goha.ru E3 Interview

[NewSith]

Didn't find it anywhere here...

I'm not putting in the translations of the questions, because they're all easy to figure out by the answer. (Though I can, if you want)


There's nothing really new, though. The only "new" part is about BFRs, but it's not new, because it all was dicussed quite a few times already.

Always love a Tray interview

The VS guy who even the NC have a hard time hating.

We're getting so much new info from E3 and dev tweets and shit, that not getting much new info from interviews isn't bothering me at all. It's just good press for the game and will expose more and more people to PS2. Glad to see the coverage keep piling up.

TRay and Higby are both awesome people to interview. Higby is all crazy enthusiastic, charming and also informative, while TRay is very clear, honest and a very "down-to-earth" kind of guy.

Be it either by tag-teaming or on the side doing their own thing, they are both delivering every single time!

As of the interview itself, not bad at all. While we rarely hear anything extremely new and fresh at this point it's still a very interesting experience nonetheless.

Sounds like TRay is interested in a BFR revival some day post-launch. SOE please don't go there. Add something new instead, like heavy battle tanks, outfit bases, or naval combat even. BFRs are a failure that simply can't be operated upon.

This. T-ray: Do not open that old wound. Leave those hulking pieces of trash in the garbage where they are.

The Vanguard can be customized to be Air-to-Air? They're giving the NC flying tanks?

<3 you T-Ray

[Virulence]

I think they learned enough wrt what not to do with BFRs that we shouldn't really worry too much about having them implemented in PS2 in the future.

[Exmortius]

i'd like to see them not rehash bfrs and go a different route making more empire specific vehicles/weapons to keep things interesting. if anything they can roll out new continents with new vehicles and expansions after sort of beta testing all that stuff before rolling it out. they got the core stuff down pretty solid so far and kept the best of the original they just need to expand upon the stuff that was popular and add some new stuff on smaller than bfr scale. i would definitely recommend bringing back the loadstar eventually it was a very handy vehicle for tanks who knew how to take advantage of them. new air vehicles eventually would be very cool too imo.

Ditto, seems to me like some people are anti-BFR beyond all reason, but the only reason BFRs were so terrible in the original were because of how badly balanced they were. Balance them well, like all things, and I don't see what the problem is.

[Sirisian]

Kind of old news. T-Ray has always been pro-mech. He's mentioned this twice before and on twitter. He just wants to see a better design as many of us have mentioned. It doesn't take a lot of though to realize why the implementation in PS1 didn't work. (Hell, we have like 10+ threads dedicated to the topic on this forum).

[Bags]

They could implement the perfect BFR and people would still be in an uproar because of the history of them.
