i got this from PC Gamer UK Georgeson talking about his ideas for future

"We've limited are ourselves to just 4 expansions believe me when i say 'stick around'. planetside will be the best FPS game that's ever existed because nobody can match us"

He also said there mite be under water and near space expansions in the future

also his vision of a whole new skill-based hacking system:

" imagine there was a defender of a door you where hacking, hooked into the facility. when you try and hack, you're interfaced into cyberspace and get into a arena-type duel and fight over control of the facility whith troops watching your back while you fight this virtual sub-game. would that be intresting?"

planetside is the dominate game on my pc. It has the best record of being played, or even on my harddrive the longest. but I still have The Sims on my comp, why I dont know.

most mags tend to put their important articles online. try and find it.

Lise · 2003-10-04, 06:40 PM

Or get a scanner and scan the article.

Pics/links or it never happened, right guys?

Hamma · 2003-10-04, 06:54 PM

Indeed

Where does it say that...?

Actually, I can corroborate that. A UK player in my outfit posted this on our forums this morning:

An article for Core combat in the UKs PC Gamer had an interview with one of the main devs and the article has stated that Core Combat is due for release within a month and other interesting points are:

1 they have 3 more expansion packs planned
2 underwater, on water and space are on the books

So wootage for beta and guys test it to death and get that pack out

OMFG. I know they were talking about making the hacking skill-based, but that's awesome. Add it now.

The space platform assets are still in the game btw, there was always supposed to be one but it was scrapped at some point. But the files remain

Lise · 2003-10-05, 02:29 AM

Yeah, trying to code a space layer for release just would've been insane. (The moon/space expansion is really the one I'm waiting for, but I know that's a long way off.)

And corroboration is OK... but it is pretty much the Rule of Hamma� that linkage or pics must be provided or it simply isn't true. Shouldn't be too hard for one of the UK people here to find a scanner.
