Very well done and good interesting content....

(weekly might be too often and being good quality at the same time)

...great stuff!..
very enjoyable watch (on my phone at 4:30am on the train heading into work)..

I think this is a great show if they manage to keep it up...especially with AGN also running, showing the community aspects / feedback and this showing the insider / company line ...

Beta Start
My takeaway was there will be outside people allowed in on Thursday. Let's break down the language: an external test starting on Thursday. External being notable in the regard that it will include folks from outside. Test is also notable because it isn't technically beta. Who will those outside people be? I am guessing very carefully selected people that will be invited based on their previous experience or insight to the original game. Perhaps ESports teams who can find exploits, perhaps high profile PS1 players who created meta game strategies, found exploits, or created popular play styles in PS1.

Higby's Haircut
The guy couldn't wait forever and external players entering the server was probably his primary requirement for the haircut. If you don't get in until August don't call Higby a liar.

Command Center
I thought this was fantastic. Almost mocking us fans rabid persistence for a beta while providing us CLEAR and PRECISE language that can be taken away and come up with a time frame. They had great chemistry and I'd really like to see this as a weekly thing, but they probably just won't have the time. I can see it as a monthly thing, perhaps handled by some CSRs in the future.

SOE definitely is handling marketing better than they did for PS1.

At this point T-ray should be mostly done, at least with the launch version. Deserves a break before going full blown on expansion stuff.

Higby.... Ya, Wtf. Get back to work!

I'm confused

Only thing CONFIRMED is tech test starting Thursday. Everyone was assuming beta was starting because of the hair cut. Higby said he wouldn't cut his hair untill people were playing the beta.

Was the "brand new studio" that they were talking about in reference to the filming area where they are shooting Planetside Command Center, or did the Planetside 2 team get moved to a new location?

Planetside 2 getting more cash thrown at it's development in the wake of winning so many awards at E3?

Pretty sure just their "news" studio. Sure if they moved offices would have heard something, since moving the teams would have delayed the game. This looked way more professional. The other interviews looked like they were in a made over lounge. Lol

And agree, great job. Nice blend of relevant game info along with stuff from the community.

Re: PlanetSide Command Center

even a monthly show like this would be pretty sweet about some of the epic battles over the month with some footage. maybe like monthly best kills or greatest noob moments

there is a lot they could do once it goes live.

Re: PlanetSide Command Center

Fun

Reminds me of the studio setups I did for film in college.

Anyway, I really do like those costumes though, really good grade for something so unique. Really appreciate the guys' work on those, they came out amazing.

The infiltrator is a cool class, but very tricky to use as far as I can tell. I highly doubt people will stand still and not say anything when they fall to the ground from a sniper. You get maybe 1 shot, hit or miss before people start running around looking for ya.

Re: PlanetSide Command Center

ya somehow i don't think one shot kills will be very common on sniping classes. i'm curious how the cloak recharge length will be. if it's like mass effect where you can stay cloaked, unlock fire, re-cloak to find you next target etc..... it'll be a bit more balanced if there is a cooldown like 10 sec or so imo. but it's gonna be damn tough probably to take down HA once they find ya. hopefully there is a good balance in weapon dmg and the cloak though. infiltrator has like no armor so if a grunt finds ya pretty much are toast.
