This might be better in some suggestion area and I'm not even sure if you can conveniently do it, but is it really necessary to make a thread about a news that only has a link to the front page news in PSU, which then has a link to the actual news?

Couldn't you just have the forum thread link direclty to the news? I'm sorry, but this has been digging me for a while now lol

But I guess it could be that you pretty much have to do it that way for it to work or smth.

STOP RIGHT THERE!


Before Anyone posts now "OMIGOD ITS GOING ON CONSOLE", NO ITS NOT!

Higby pretty much 100% just confirmed that, AGAIN. He said a future planetside game, in the sense of "some other game, not Planetside 2".

Honestly, whoever freaks out about PS2 going to console needs to take a deep breath and think about how absurd that is... There is a reason BF3 is only 32 players for console... that's ONLY 32 players... not 300+ players EACH faction. lol, get your head of yo butt!

If its a success and they think they can make money in that department they will.

Well.. I think it would need to wait for the next gen consoles, tbh.

It probably wouldn't be the same servers as PS on computer, due to the constraints of controllers requiring different gameplay mechanics.

1. Yes, it is totally going to go console one day. At launch? I highly doubt it. But one day it will be on the next gen of consoles. When the game was first announced, Smedley all but openly told us that it will come out on console. He didn't say it outright, but he gave us the strongest hint he possibly could.

2. The bit that Hamma quoted on the page about the technical difficulties remains my number 1 concern. I'm still haunted by the days of slideshow-esque framerates and needing to update all my hardware and drop all visual options to the bare minimum just to reach a playable level. Compound that with the stunning visuals and details we see, and I'm still skeptical that this game is going to run smooth. I'm extremely hopeful, but skeptical.

Re: NowGamer Interview with Matt Higby


great new interview!

and this time matt put some emphasis on the pvp factor!
i always asked to make clear for everyone what the real difference between ps2 and other fps is and he found good words there!

the thing that other games script big ai battles because the players want the feel of big battles, but ps2 will deliver the same intense big battles all without scripts and ai but with real players in every tank or airplane!

that´s what no halo can do! ;-)

now please go ahead and put this statement on the "about the game" section of planetside2.com! very far up on the site! so that even the tl:dr kiddys get it!

Re: NowGamer Interview with Matt Higby


another good point in the interview is, that matt does not want to deliver anything until the whole dev team is proud as hell!

that´s exactly what we veterans want! just stay strong and stand up to the suits! whatever happens, don´t let them ruin the game by insisting on a release date! if the beta unviels the need of a delay, put your balls on the table and delay the release!

i did a lot of beta tests, and a lot of games with great potential released just too early and buggy as hell, causing me to leave these games at release. and none of these games ever recovered to its full potential, so i was not the only one who didn´t want to pay for games in such a bad state.

give planetside 2 the release it deserves, and i am sure it will take off like a rat from an aquaeduct!

Wonderfull to read, gives me hope to read things. Lots of companies develop and shut the **** up about games and suffer from players loosing hype.

Tbh cant wait for it, and as soon as there are some more news about a beta start/release date, im gonna upgrade my rig to enjoy this^^

As long as I can run it on my rig on medium (i5, GTX 460, 4GB RAM) at 60fps, I'll be happy. The wait for the beta is killing me though, I've been enjoying PS as of late but I really want a game that isn't stuck in the era of dial-up.

I'm a bit worried about how Higby speaks of challanges thrown to the devs concerning the scale of the game... I feel they have problems with that...
