PlanetSide and E3

Im sure everyone knows about the E3 expo this week. The question is, what if any PS annoucments are you expecting or hoping for?

I expect for there to be no PS announcements,

I hope they don't announce that they will no longer be selling it.

(and maybe a hope for a free expansion to make up for the steaming pile of crap that is CC)

I am hoping for naval combat

An Updated version of the Game will all Patches in the Release version, And OBO's

Rabbid Forest Rabbits!!! Spork keeps telling me in IRC that it will be in the next patch then the next but they never put them in.

hehe

CC is ok. There are great battles to be had down there, especially if you're looking for smaller-scale engagements. The CC weapons hold their own as well - Radiators and Maelstroms are great for closed-in spaces. I'm not sold on the Switchblade, but noone can doubt the destructiveness of the Flail.

As far as an expansion, water is ok, but space combat is what I'm hoping for - moonbases, hostile physical environments, orbital platforms, suborbital combat, new suits, weapons and vehicles...yeah, that's Planetside.

I am hoping for what diddy said, its been a years worth of patches, lets make them available to people just buying the game.

I'm hoping for an announcement on either an expansion into space or water combat or both. But my guess is it will probally be something along the lines of Planetside and Core Combat being combined for one low price...and if you own planetside already you get CC for free via download or something to that effect. I doubt they would spend $ on a floor space just to say "Were going to tank Planetside". The other unlikely (but I wouldn't put it past them) scenario is....Planetside will be available on the PS3 or PS2 (for $100 which included 40 gb hard drive, keyboard & mouse).

Maybe I ought to ditch work and see for myself...oh thats right...no more vacation time (I do have more..but I'd rather go to Lost Wages....I mean Las Vegas).

I'm thinking they'll announce an expansion. Sony loves cranking those things out.

EarlyDawn · 2004-05-12, 03:57 PM

Well, Smoke mentioned something regarding release in China. I think they'll explain the tournament mode too.

Wraithlord · 2004-05-12, 04:51 PM

hmm...china...chinese food...oh damnit I'm hungry >.<

Im hoping they give away free trial CD's to the masses, that would be a nice boost to the population

Just for those who think there'll be nothing. Unless you mean nothing of interest

I would not have made this thread if I expected nothing, especially after sporks post
