Interesting. He seems to know which side is best too

But we all know that, don't we?

[Gwartham]

As a staunch SOE hater, I have to say I have been finding myself very impressed with the information and interaction I am seeing this time around.

Hope they keep it up!

Deep down we do, Vanu speaks to us all, some just choose not to listen.

[TheHalekTheory]

you have to remember, when the first planetside was released, we didnt have the social outlets like we do today, so that being said, it would be easier for them to communicate with us this time around. also, they are building this sequel with an established fan base.

Krav-maga ? xD

I finally understand how those TR or NC bad influences have not managed to sabotage the VS this time around.


Edit: btw Amit, +1 on the industry switch ! The hammer is about to fall on NYC; if it has not already started yet.

extremely fast-paced development environment

Great stuff... Love hearin' these details!

[GTGD]

UI is one of the most important things in a game by far. A great one can make or break atmosphere (see Metroid Prime for an amazing UI). Really great stuff getting to know the dev team like this in the updates! I hope this game will be a resume builder for them

[Captain1nsaneo]

I can see how being a quant would help with UI seeing how they're dealing with a very fast environment and need clarity in what their read outs display. Very impressive background there.

It's resume builder for us, and we aren't even developing it.

Everyone's credentials make me all that much more confident that this game will kick major ass once it comes out.

Glad to see some hardcore SOE haters softening up.

Matt should whip these guys to sign on to the forums to say hi.

[SuperMorto]

Vanu Sovereignty – Best vehicles, best equipment, best everything. It’s pretty much an open and shut case there, anyone who disagrees is clearly and unequivocally wrong.

[fuzzehthehydra]

Didn't really give us much information we haven't heard before, I was hoping for some details on empire-specific UI or something, maybe even a couple of screenshots. Still a really interesting article though, and his choice of faction is certainly wise
