Also; updates to the current game?


UPDATE 2: We were able to speak with John Smedley tonight CEO of Sony Online. While we could not get any specific information about the all-but-confirmed PlanetSide 2, I was able to get some feedback on the current PlanetSide: 1. A new patch is coming. We're going to be fully Vista compliant among other things and bug fixes / anti-hacking work.

2. Planetside fans will be happy We have big things planned in the next 12 months. We're working on something new that's really cool. Some awesome news for the current game!! As always PSU will be your #1 source for any new and upcoming information about PlanetSide 2 so stay tuned!

Personally, I'm more interested in what they're going to do to *this* PlanetSide; from the survey it sounds like PS2 is in a concept stage at best....

Lets just hope and pray that it does not turn into a rpg with npcs etc.

Just give me a new engine, upgraded physics, hit detection, and better FPS. I think I'd see almost the whole Immortal Sovereigns outfit come back in one fell swoop.

JP - waiting in eager anticipation.

Yeah, then tack on SERVER SIDE HIT DETECTION, new maps, new bases, a real aircraft flight model, a dynamic task system for people interesting in leading to create tasks with rewards....and pretty much anything on Hayoo's Idealab. Then, you gotta game.

[Espion]

I'm pretty sure they've been working on this for a while. It was over 2 years ago Smedley said in an interview that they had big plans for PS. SOE is retarded in that they have no idea how to develop and maintain their game, but they obviously know how to run a business. They own this market and know that no-one is going to touch it until they've mastered it, much like what happened with EQ.

SSHD has its ups and down. It would likely make playing on a NA server impossible for Euros, and vice-versa. Lowest ping wins with SSHD

I was going to say, "I'd come back just to see Rahl's smiling face," but you've already obliged.

:P

I posted my feedback and suggestions.

It will be interesting to see what SOE does. Hopefully we'll get more info other than Smed's 3 word tweets.

Don't get excited until its released and you played it. SOE has a away of totally screwing up everything so a Planetside 2 will be no exception. I would actually prefer if SOE sold Planetside 2 to another development company so they could give it a shot.

It might not even get to release in these times, maybe not even alpha.

[Espion]

SOE's track record is release great games, destroy them over time. This gives us at least a couple years of good play in PS2

[Laylos]

Most Definitely filled out the survey though. Get everyone you can to, more responses the more they will consider doing it rather then not.

This development could see the return of the Drunken Commander!

[Noyjitat]

Would never want to see the current command system altered in anyway. Although the addition of a outfit leader chat channel would be nice. But making it so you have to be in a outfit to lead or making it so that only certain outfits can lead just makes it even easier for zergfits to control what happens. (they already basically do control what happens)

BFRS will not be in ps2 thankfully. I hope max suits are included with that as well.
