Yeah. E3 would have been the best place for PS2 information. Why the fuck would they do it at Fan Faire, really? That caters to a specific crowd, and that crowd only cares about two things: pointy-eared elves and the hot models that cosplay the Everquest mascot woman.

IT'S NOT PLANETSIDE 2 NEWS. THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT.

Other than that... nothing. I regularly destroy hot cosplayer pussy. It must be my Space Marine costume.

I have one thing to add to this discussion.

The arguement I can see for a PS2 announcement at Fan Faire (and the tiny shred of hope I'm clinging to) is SOE would be rewarding their fanbase by giving them an "exclusive" announcement. SOE has done it before and Blizzard makes announcements at BlizzCon all the time.

Having said that, until they hint at a PS2 announcement happening at Fan Faire, I won't be waiting for one.

Now I have no clue regarding the size or the amount media coverage Fan Faire usually gets. One have to consider that BlizzCon is an entire full-scale event. Media coverage like nothing else, hundreds and hundreds of fans and fansite staff.

Again, I have no clue about FF. All I know is that most of the people here are very skeptic, it seems to usually be a lot about EQ and such. But, we'll see. Though I'm not holding any thumbs at least.

"(and the tiny shred of hope I'm clinging to)" aside, SOE's fanbase doesn't really consist of a lot of Planetside players. It's mostly fat-ass neckbeards that play Everquest. SOE ran off most of the solid Planetside fans with their goddamn stupidity and abusive maltreatment of our game.

And yet, Casey Anthony is the only bitch on trial.

Actually, looking back SOE has always done their major game announcements at Fan Faire (Since it became more than just EQ Fan Faire anyhow), I don't see why PS:N / PS:2 would be any different.

Case in point: Free Realms, Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures, The Agency, DC Universe Online...

That explains why all of those games seem (to me) to be flops (or in one case, a screaming abortion) - they're telling it to Everquest players. Talking to an Everquest player about any other game other than Everquest is like talking to people who still play Ultima Online in a hardcore way.

Surely there will be loads of Planetside players at the Fan Faire as well ....

LMFAO!

No.

Well. I could always be surprised, but for the last 4-5 years they haven't even talked about Planetside. The last Fan Faire that I recall having anything PS-related was in 2006. A max of maybe ten people showed up, thirteen if you count the devs. So when I say LMFAO in bold-max-size font, I really mean that. I honestly don't think more than maybe a dozen would show, and I think most of them would be there for Everquest. That's if SOE even has a damned event for PS2, let alone Planetside.
