Needs more shaky cam, though. I almost didn't get sick

A very strange teaser.

Nice. But I'm already hooked

6 mill, really? I wonder if there counting subscribers, casual F2P players, or just every single account ever made for PS2 regardless of activity?

Every single account would be my guess. But, hey they might have a shit load of players in China

In my book, someone who has not logged in for 6 month or more can hardly be called a player. The 6 miliion player number is a blatant lie. Not that anyone would care. Because almost all MMOs use the same misleading terminology.

Tell this to people in PR departments who fling numbers around like only monkeys do. With poo.

Registered accounts is like using website hits as a rating for the popularity of a website.

It tells you nothing about how many people consistently use the website, but it does tell you how many people gave it a look.

Well, atleast we get 2 continents next year!

Wonder how long it will take until a worldwide lattice can be implemented

SOE really needs to start pulling the camera back a bit, maybe even enabling larger player distances with the spectator cam or something. Show players what the game is about and have the camera pan out to a satelite view showing a region under assault by the Vanu, then fly across some mountains and spin around a dozen TR galaxies, then dive the camera towards the ground and slide in to an outpost shoot-out between a few NC players, fly the camera over a canyon with an armor column rolling by and end at a warpgate showing a massive push by the NC.

My first guess with all of the teasers so far would be that the game is a 32 vs 32 (48 vs 48) arena fight ala Battlefield. Even if you have to fake it (via pre-rendered scenes), get the vibes going on the 64km territory battles that are happenin' guys.

What Edfishy said.

If "size matters", then SOE needs to show just what that means: big maps, big populations, big pushes, big armor/air engagements, big strategies, big fun.

Is this the official Superbowl commercial?

Ghoest9 · 2014-01-11, 11:22 AM

Im fairly sure that a 'player" is any account that logged into the game so far.
