Straight from their live stream on Thursday, MMORPG.com has submitted their article depicting the shenanigans that went on throughout the night (as well as a recording)! Higby, Tray, and Grakulen teamed up for a night of Black Ops to fight against the entirety of Gemini's population.
One of the most interesting things we talked about was the impact that the environment would have on the player in the game. A day night cycle will appear in Planetside 2. To use the night cycle to their advantage players will have the ability to obtain night vision optics. You can imagine the tactical advantage this will give players in the dark. Players will also be able to find creative ways to hide when is not dark outside. Tramell told a story how aerial vehicles could take advantage of the sunrise and hide their approach on the horizon by keeping the sun at their back.
Check out the full article here. And discuss on our forums here.

Re: MMORPG Interview I think this is the opposite of what is usually in the game settings (horizontal?) so it works out around 110 in usual terms. Im going off hazy memory here. |

Re: MMORPG Interview
If the game is not Hor+ and the Horizontal FOV is not adaptive for the attached display that that is a massive fail. 3:4 vs 16:9 is a big difference let alone 48:9. I Play games with ~150 Hoz FOV. |

Re: MMORPG Interview The part when Higby jokes around with playing music from your desktop while inside a vehicle is actually something that I've been wanting for a long time. Kinda like in the GTA series. The week I tried EQ a long time ago, the only feature that I wish I had in every MMO since was the in game mp3 player. Alt-tabbing in a first person shooter to turn on some music gets me killed sometimes.

Re: MMORPG Interview A fixed 74 degree vertical FOV? Wow, thats an unusual way to handle things. Not bad at all. Just unusual. So often a new FPS will have some funky fixed FOV or you have edit an obscure file or you use some command line thing. I like this degree of intelligence in my developers.
