Re: John Smedley on PlanetSide 2


I worry about SOE track record too. Notice in comments everywhere people are excited by the prospect of PS2, but are also like 'You better not mess this one up Sony'.

I was also disheartened to hear the mention of cash shop, cosmetic stuff sure but it's usually just to pave the way for pay to win elements when the marketing goons feel they can push their luck. It starts with cosmetic then it'll be % skill training speed booster and by the end we'll have rent-a-gun. The first sign of any type of advantage giving items in game shop and I'll drop PS2 like a stone even if it's the best game ever made.

Other than that I'm trying to remain optimistic though, the team (including Smed) seemed pretty sincere about making an awesome game in that QA session.
