Something tells me next week is next Saturday at 11:58p.m and his letter will be telling us that we can expect a big announcement/launch soon. it will be super cryptic and give us no real information.

I'd guess it'll be during business hours. So if anything they'll make us wait until end of the day Friday.

I'm hoping they'll feel sorry for us and give us something on Monday.

Hey...If they need someone to do some spell checking and grammar they could always post it here I'm sure we could help them out

Greetings faithful followers of Planetside, I wanted to take this time to personally address the loyal fans of Planetside after last weeks news of SOE closing down some studios. We wanted to assure you that releasing Planetside Next as a quality MMO is one of our top priorities so we have allocated alot more manpower to the Planetside development team.

We're abit behind on our initial time of a March beta, we have delayed that to sort out some issues and put the game under further inhouse testing before letting you touch it. You will see beta soon, but at this stage we cant comment on when.

yada, yada yada...

About all the info we will get.

Sounded like a thinly veiled dig at PSU and Smedley...

Can't wait. While I like pictures I would rather have a more laid out letter with what the game actually will be. I know we heard it will basically be PS with new graphics, but I am curious with any changes such as the sanc being gone and if it is still 133vs133vs133 for fighting on the maps.

If this 'letter' dosn't contain at least 1 peice of actual game info (I don't care about release date or that your behind schedual - deal with it) I will be serverly disapointed...

Don't not let me down... umm Smokejumper? Whoever has it. WHOEVER, who has it!

Don't get your hopes up. It's probably just saying "We are now working on a new PlanetSide title! Here is the website to check for news."

Hey, its SoE, which means it's all about opposites and expecting the unexpected. When they've said 'we're going to improve this game that's already awesome!' they've destroyed it. So by that logic, 'at least a few words from the Producer' could mean so much more!

...I can dream...

No I think it's plausible that they could say "here is a website to check for news" then drop a link to PSU :P

I know I like spicey chicken wings...

My powers of mind reading and second guessing are really poor though.

Please guys chill out and just get some patience, if not please make do with ulcers.

We can not change anything or hurry anything up but we do know it has been green lighted which is very very cool.

Aractain · 2011-04-04, 10:32 AM

You know... They added more people to 'focus' on the game and then delayed it (possibly). Dosn't that mean the version of the game they planned to release was crap? :P

Or I guess it could mean they have time and manpower to put BFRs and Flails in for launch? YAY!

FortunadoAE · 2011-04-04, 11:07 AM

I would guess that they're in the very, very early stages of development.

They're probably still making the strategic decisions: What tech to use for the new engine (or what engine to reuse), what philosophies to develop with, organizational hierarchy for the new team, etc.

I don't think PS:N will have a 2011 release at all. At the earliest I'd predict a beta around this time next year.

Aractain · 2011-04-04, 11:14 AM

I think they are further along than that! I mean think of all those people that resubbed for beta? Does SOE take them for suckers?
