Planetside 3

[Memeotis]

I'm impressed. The first planetside was way ahead of its time, and as a result was riddled with compromises due it's ambitious goal of 400 players on one continent. This is certainly not the case for Planetside 2. Not only does the game seem completely up to date for modern standards, but its makers also believe they can manage to have a whopping 2000 players on one continent.

So here's my question to you guys. Now that planetside has managed to catch up to the graphical and mechanical level of modern shooters and will probably manage to keep up, what do you think Planetside 3 will be able to achieve? How many players do you think it can have per continent? And do you think there is a limit to how many players should be on one continent? (Assuming we have the technological capacity to sustain say... one million on a single continent). And if yes, why?

Hard to tell.
Lets play PS2 ?It must be done first o/c.

I guess the theoretical limit would be to have the entire pop of every empire on the same server, and make continents close to real world size.

Makes use of not touch-screens but mind-screens.

Remember that commercial for the Playstation 9? Planetside 3 (or 4) better be on that.

I'd like to see a remodel of Earth with constant updates from like google Earth and it'd fit the player amount of each continent on that continent.

I predict Planetside 2 will be a massive failure and Planetside 3 will never be created.

Only time will tell but if SOE reverts back to its former state of imprudent decision making then there is a 99% that will happen.

Make the continents the size of real world continents and Continent lock the game on One huge server for the world.

Depressing much?

[Kupo]

ps3? whoa one step at a time buddy

[Kitsune]

I already have a Ps3

Jokes aside,

it would be played in a virtual reality with crazy good graphics and all movements are 100% cohesive with your brain and muscle movements.

bad jokes aside,

I dunno. For all we know that cinematic teaser trailer we saw will very well be gameplay footage from Ps3.

[TheBladeRoden]

All the mass appeal of PS2 plus all the sophistication of PS1

[Ait'al]

I thought they lost the sophistication of PS1 back around the first year after they started saying they didn't have to code anymore to revert the game because nobody saved it.
