Yes, I agree completely. I think higby makes a great face and voice for planetside info/interviews. You are a natural.

Joining the other clips together and adding a good voice over has created an impressive video. Good work soe!

Ive got high hopes for this game, the quality and concepts (new and old) are good and I loved planetside 1 plus this seems to be a strong team behind planetside 2.

No wonder the NC have a rough look to them.

Very cool.

So the TR is all about 'speed', now. That used to be the Vanu forte. Now the smurfs get the big guns AND the best armor. In addition to the best long range smallarm (gauss rifle) and the best point-blank one (Jackhammer). Not to mention the chain-shotgun we saw. Joy.

Ah well. We'll just compensate as we did in the old days -- with lots and lots and LOTS of land mines.

Pretty cool. I feel like the pressure is on now to fill that site up with tons of content. Not that that will be hard with the current rate of information and the fact that it will be undoubtedly ramping up as more features and assets get completed.

I'd love to see something like a video for every class and every vehicle in the game. Just a short video like the empire design videos, showing off some of the customization, empire variations and some live in game footage of them in action doing their thing.

The Mag was/is a sports car and the Van always seemed to be a off road truck (once it gets going, good luck stopping it).

the Prowler acts like it's a fat*** bumper car that somehow found it's self on the battlefield.

What is that background music in the video?

Sounds familiar...

[ECM]

Neat stuff. I really liked the commentary. It will really help any new person know the difference for each faction. Can't wait for beta, hope I make the cut.

[atone]

nice, brief, and informative

Answering Machine?

It still throws me for a loop that he sounds very much like Jeff Dee.

Ya, that happens because it sounds unnatural for you to hear your own voice, without also hearing the vibrations in your skull that result from speaking. So, even though it sounds the same, it sounds different, no matter how flawlessly it matches your voice.

Takes getting used to. :P

Plus, you hear your self all the time, so you will consciously/unconsciously notice subtle changes in tone/pitch that you didn't intend or didn't realize you did.

But we sure wont. It's nothing but sweet, melting, butter to our ears.
