Medic AOE makes me uneasy, but I'll give it the benefit of doubt. I'm hoping it has a cooldown, etc.

The 'square' nano-repair effect on maxes just looks broken, like placeholder art. At least I hope that's the case because it looks naff.

Wicked. Not really keen on that music though, its pretty cheesy.

running animation are bad. I think the best running animations i ever seen was in Battlefield bad company 1-2.

Not bad per se, but there is something awkward to them indeed.

To me they look the same as I have seen of actual soldiers running but weighed down by a lot of body armour.

You might be right. I havnt really seen soldiers with heavy gear running about.

I can't really say what is it that looks a bit off to me, either. I dont know how "realistic" BF3 is in this sense, but there it doesnt really look awkward to me.

This trailer does sorta show how hard it is to easily show the scale of Planetside. This trailer could be from any run of the mill shooter coming out. It's just like trying to describe Planetside to someone who isnt familiar to it, there is no easy way to do it that makes the game any justice.

great example of a video that would have rocked 1000% more with vehicle boarding animations!

IgloGlass · 2012-06-20, 07:52 AM

Someone has probably mentioned this but pretty funny that they chose to name the place after an island in Croatia!

Running is way off.
I already noticed that in the very first trailers.
Watch the trailer and stop randomly at running scenes.
Feet are going underground, chars make strange movements (in fact there
are stances that would make real-world humans fall down - especially with armor)

Sure, coming from BC2 / BF3 it might be hard to impress me with player
animations, but it's important to make those animations good-looking as
nothing turns you more off than playing an awesome game but when you
look at other players all you can do is facepalm.

Somehow i doubt that they named it after the croatian island.

MacXXcaM · 2012-06-20, 08:23 AM

What disturbs me is this whole camera shaking when something explodes...

Sorry, pretty tired, I of course found it funny that they shared names, wouldn't make any sense to name it after the island.

What if........

we have to wait the other 2 factions video for the beta

Hvar was the name of the base in the original PlanetSide. All base names in the original PlanetSide originated from mythologies of different nations. Oshur (where the original Hvar is from), for instance, has a based named "Dahaka", those unfamiliar with Persian mythology should at least find the name familiar (Prince of Persia should ring a bell if you played it).

As for the video, I'm not impressed, tbh. Too much michael bay, too little storytelling. I mean even knowing what the game is, I wasn't able to tell what's going on on the screen. The vid needs longer fighting sequences and softer transitions. But that's just my imo, nothing personal.
