Planetside 2 in Game Informer

Lonehunter · 2011-08-13, 03:19 PM

Unfortunately almost no new details, Creative director "Matt Hirdt" (did Higby change his name?) did say there will be command chat channels and skill research + resource gain/use will be what they tweak to balance empire populations. Plus a lil quote...

"Planetside 2 is not a theme park ride. Instead of forever collecting bear asses to satisfy an NPC's endless need to feed his nonexistant children, you'll be assaulting strategic objectives..."

But it's also nice to see Planetside2 actually advertised.

Update: For those going to buy it, It's just a one page article towards the back. I personally wouldn't buy it just for this lol

I'm still going to collect all the bear asses that I see, just in case.

Wow game informer fails they can't even get the person they interviewed name right? I take it this is print only?

Either way - def good to see coverage.

Yeah no access to a scanner and can't find an online article. But if definitely says "Hirdt"

Higby, changing your name to avoid us only works when we don't know your new name...

I don't know about bear asses but I always enjoyed collecting VS and NC weapons just to smile at in my locker.

I do the same thing. I'm too afraid to take them out because I know that when I do a vanguard shell will smack me in the face the second I open that outside door.

Collecting bear asses? He must be referring to those big hairy guys with the leather hats and leather assless chapps. That sounds like a terrible theme park!

Seeing the 2 pager GI ran for the original Planetside was the reason I bought my first gaming PC and started playing
