News: SOE Partnership w/ TotalBiscuit

[Satexios]

Nice footage as always, but am I the only one who thinks the galaxy lift-off is bit quick? He gets inside and with one little push he is up in the air.

Would expect it to take some time like the liberator to get the aircraft up in the air?

i wouldn't pay much attention to physics at this stage.

It looks like he wasn't. MobyGames has a list of Higby's credits as well as the published credits for Planetside, and the two don't intersect.

PSU: where PVP launches before release.


No but seriously guys, whether you like TB or not, cut him some slack. For PS2, he's just been doing coverage so far.

Good to know about E3 ! It will be nice to get live news from there.

Edit: and the way we can feel the weight when that galaxy turns is awesome !

Hey TB, you gotta realize that nerfing surge changed everyone's game not just the surge exploiters you refer to or their victims. I was a victim of it, and I can still say the the pre-surge nerf days were some of the best times ever if not the best. I ran rexo.

I highly disliked the surge nerf because I found that it slowed the games pace down at least twofold. The game was excitingly fast paced prior to, and even though I didn't miss the warpers killing me, I found that as a REXO grunt I was less effective in general. I preferred the fast pace it had before.

To add to that, a number of people gave up on PS1 during this time. Nobody likes seeing active numbers drop from their in game Outfit list, or saying "bye" to cool gaming friends.

The surge nerf left a bruise on most of the PS community in some form or another. Sadly, it is known that you were in favor of the nerf, and people love to blame guilt upon association. *cough-danb-banning-half-of-SMF-for-minor-infractions-like-saying-the-portmaneau-"mangina"-in-/c-cough*

Anyway, I'll try and cloaker infiltrate E3 again. I'll see you there but you wont see me.

Will people give it a rest already, SOE get TB on bored and he reaches out and shoves the game we love in hundreds of thousands if not a million gamers faces and all you people can do is bitch and moan.

I have some info totalbiscuit was not the only person that moaned and got stuff nerfed and not the only person to bitch about surgile.

Go it up and enjoy the FREE mass publicity by a guy that pretty much says what ever he wants.

is there a ceiling so aircraft can only fly to a maximum height like in the original 400 feet . I would like to know this as i would like to know if it will balance the game out with AA units like the lightning and AA max units etc

Promote it all grudge/deathmatch-like.

Well, I wouldn't call him oppresive, but it will indeed be fun to see him and highby together in a cast (which hopefully will lead to some sort of bickering over sides and maybe even a shoot-out?)

*gets his tophat and popcorn*

anybody else want some?

Anyway, can't wait till next week

[ZeroOneZero]

I'm looking forward to seeing some feedback from players who will be attending E3 and trying out PlanetSide 2 (bastards ). The more details, the better. Thanks TB for the awesome coverage.

I don't think I've said it yet, but I really love the animations on the Galaxy. That's one sexy rear end.

[Meecrob]

I like to see that the gal can take a little punishment. (like flying into a mountain ) All i know is, im never getting into a gal that TB is flying. partly because he's a bad pilot, and mainly because im NC and will be shooting his opressive TR ass .

Looking forward to what E3 will bring.

[UKSwiFT]

Glad to see the partnership, should be good for everyone involved!

Even more glad to see the Galaxy taking a pounding and shrugging it off. The handling is just as I would of expected too. Good sign of things to come.
