Planet Quake-side

MrVicchio · 2003-03-20, 07:10 AM

In my hounding of the official forums, there seems to be much talk about the Quake style of play in PS.

If this is truly the playstyle, Quake run'n'gun'n'jump I will be...
Dissappointed. I dislike Quake style, I prefer more tactical gameplay to Quake run'n'gun'n'jump....

Thoughts?

I agree with you Mr. V. For some reason, they constantly compare it to Quake, yet, I don't think it looks anyhting like Quake. BTW, I will be dissapointed aswell if it is Quake-like

MrV, you might be up President Bushes ass, but you are not dumb you are an intelligent individual commanding muchos respect even if you are wrong

Those in the official forum however, by enlarge, are the opposite!

I have a strong belief it wont be "quake" style game-play

I hope not :P Bunny hoppers suck!

I honestly dont know where people get these comparisons from. Its anything but quake.

I hope not :P Bunny hoppers suck!

I don't think bunny hopping will be possible due to the fact that you run out of stamina very quickly when jumping. Most of the official forum posters have no idea what they're talking about, PS movement doesn't seem anything like Quake to me.

Hamma broke the NDA!

Ima tell. /me runs off to tattle.

Madfish · 2003-03-20, 10:20 AM

You heard it here first! Information straight from the BETA!!! PS IS NOT QUAKE!

Damn it. So does that mean my 130 fps won't give me any advantage over people who can't afford good vid cards? Bugger.

Most of the discussions are bonkers over on the OF's anyway; all those people who've just found planetside, who can't read a faq all in one room at once?? crickey.

nothing like quake - no bunny hopping, but the battles are pretty fast paced and do take alot of aim and skill to kill. So thats the only real aspect of Q3 in the game. You can't run around spamming MG like a newbie and be good, ask hamma, PS = puts the skill into MMORPG's. If your coming from everquest or something, and aren't a FPS player, and don't have any skill, your going to get romped in fights. if your an FPS player, without any RPG background, yor going to be useful in fights, but not as useful in a strategical strike, because you aren't used to doing anything but running/jumping/killing. This is of course if you are coming from a game like quake3/ut. If your a BF1942/WW2 online/T1/T2 player, you should be fine. Also , if you play everquest o asherons call o whatever along with Q3/UT, you'll be alright

hope this post helped
