Again he said "quite"... days or weeks as you say perhaps.

It's funny. We are in some weird limbo where it kind of feels like Christmas Eve only we have no idea what day Christmas is.

I wish they'd just release a couple more screen's. Even if the game isn't completely ready it can't hurt to show some more models or concept artwork.

Lol Raymac, that's exactly how I feel. The amount of times I've checked these forums or twitter today is rediculous.

No actually you're wrong. Outdated info is outdated. Your quote is from December 14th. On January 17th he said.

So Mr. Outdated info, when you get done buying that Enron stock why don't you pick me up in your Delorean and we can have lunch at Windows on The World and discuss wtf is happening with the USSR.

Of course, all of this is outdated after today's announcements. Game will be out when it's ready.

I suspect that Sony began to believe that The Agency and PSN would cannibalize each other, given that they were both slated to release around the same time and were both MMOFPS titles.

In the end it probably came down to having to choose one or the other, and they decided to go with PlanetSide Next over the The Agency.

It sucks, because I think The Agency had some unique ideas and some promising concepts, but the end I think this was strictly a business decision that will probably be welcomed here but less so in other places.

Well shit, you don't have to be an ass about it...

This is why stressing about rumors is stupid. It turned out to seem like one of the best things to happen to PSN.

I think one of the main reasons everything is so hush hush about PSN, is that PS is the only MMOFPS, they don't want to have other companies turn heads and think, "Hey, let's do that too!" PlanetSide really does have the potential to be the next big thing in the gaming world after all.

To clarify the whole March thing. I think it may have just been poor wording.

Could actually mean...

Which is susceptible to delays.
