Well that sucks.

Yeah just some sillysource crap.

Still only one Massive Wargame on the books.

Either way it would see they are working on an action game that is small scale. (Probably quite similar to halo... yeah).


Thats good news, less crap to worry about.

I still don't know what to make of this news, but apperantly "Destiny" was just a hoax by Bungie......yeah wtf indeed. I don't get it, a hoax? Really?

So we went from thinking the age of MMOFPS was coming to apparently just hoping Planetside Next is good cause its the only one again lol. Oh well if SOE turns around an says Next was a hoax then at least I can play Battlefield 3.

Lol, good luck making the transit from one cell to another unnoticable. And if they want to archive their 1k players with THAT game, well no need for a complicated server architecture then, because with just a little optimization a single strong server would be able to handle that...

But for a game like planetside, well, your gonnna be screwed. And no cell stuff is going to save you there, unless you can live with some nasty issues... (have fun figuring out what happens is a player from one cell server shoots at a player from another cell server)

Ehehehe.

So its just Planetside Next, Dust 512 and the Blizzard MMO left? While Titan (the Blizzard one) is completly unknown and years away (Blizzard aims for a Q4 2013 release), Dust 512 is known, but a console shooter only, and therefore useless for most of us. That means, all thats left of the great MMOFPS revival is Planetside Next. And that seems to come along soonish.

TBH Battlefield 3 seems like the closest/best competitor to PS (orginal) at this point. Sad.

[DviddLeff]

DUST is going to be small scale?

Sucks ass. I do love the fact they will integrate it with EVE though; genius concept.

Games inside other games is awesome; they could have an X-wing style game slot in nicely as well, not to mention all sorts of RTS conflicts.

Joke != Hoax

[Raymac]

I remember seeing a funny video from Bungie back on an April Fools Day where they said the next Halo game would be chess. That was clearly a joke. This whole idea of a rumor being out there for so long and then they just now say it was a joke...it just doesn't feel right. But whatever, less competition for PS:N, the more people will play it.
