The Render looks good. It would be even better if it was a NC soldier with the Full CR5 Rexo armor on. Just my opinion.....

I agree with this I've never liked toggleable (is that a word) stuff like that. It should be similar for everyone in one form or another.

You mean flora.

I don't want to know what animal's bush you're kneeling in...

Your mom's bush. I mean, she's wild but homegirl needs some hedge trimmers.

PS: Thanks. Fixed.

Lol you're right, that means local animal life. Well hiding in a passing animal could be a valid tactic - Ace Ventura style.

Nurf the terran goggles now!!!!

Just getting in before the rush - you all know it will be right on the SOE forums next to the nerf the lashers posts with in hours of launch.....

On a serious note looks really nice and I am really glad I resubbed.

Oh and damn you T Ray you have got me thinking about net code, algorithms and graphics engines now. I gave up tech a long time ago because it made my brain hurt.

the9 is using the vision 8.0 engine? Does that mean PSN could be using that engine?

How can a game like Planetside Next still have no trailers, no announced title, no release date yet. I'm starting to get really nervous... I mean, the Agency has had trailers for a very long time, and it isn't supposed to release until late this year.

Are they going to change Planetside into a farmville game? Play for free, but spend money on PSN dollars to buy certs? Is this going to be a "b" game? Why aren't they putting any advertising into it? Do they really expect the game to be so unpopular that advertising PSN would be a waste of money that could be spent on advertising the Agency? Oh Smed, say it aint so! And then please explain

Games can spend several years in development before they are actually announced, and then spend another year where things like websites/trailers/media/advertisement start to appear. There's no reason to think this is any different. Anyone who thinks the game is actually going to be released in March is blissfully ignorant.

The game doesn't even have an official name yet.

I totally agree... It's like they are relying on the existing fan base to spread the word which as it is would be difficult to get anyone (who hasn't played PS1) excited because all we can show them are a few screen shots of models. If they started a full campaign today it would still be hard to imagine the game being released within 6 months and have a decent player base at kick off.

I concur, smed said on his blog post they will have announcements early this year followed by a beta. the beta could be 6 months from now or even later.

BTW is there any big event in march where SOE can announce this title? maybe in GDC?

PAX...

I want full Billy Gibbons beards, and, in fact, fully customizable facial hair. I just know there are Brits out there who would be incapacitated with disgust to have some Teebakky-Chawmpin' ridnick, especially with a real ridnick name own their asses.

Somehow, I doubt toothbrush mustaches will make it into the game, however.

My dear boy you are quite mistaken, we are really are quite proud of the fact we removed them from our Septured Isle and found them a new home a couple of centuries ago.

We do find it amazing though that you have put together a socal structure which allows them to flush and become part of mainstream society.

I just hope the mossie is a B*tch to fly so we can seperate the men from the boys

Other good things would be full dynamic day/night (not sure if this is already included. This would add a massive dynamic to battles and would make lasers and tracers look awesome in the night.

Destructable fauna ? Having a scarred battlefield after a major engagement would look awesome.
