I think Firefly already has a "Box Theory" copyrighted so you may need a different name.

I would also not be opposed to doing a live feed/tweet session during anything Planetside related, if Hamma would like.

YOur Hired!

Make sure to get another thread going before you hit FF, telling us where to look for your live feed.

And dude, if you spot PSN/PS2 on FF, i expect live feeds every 20 secs and a photo every 1 minute. If you cant bring that, your fired!

Hurray! We get something! I also am happy Im getting anything, even if its just barely more then nothing

The PR for Planetside has always been crap, I know we all want more, but can we really expect more when they have already set the president of barely even letting the general gaming community know about Planetside over and over?

I mean look at CCP and Dust514's. For a game from a much smaller developer, they've made announcement after announcement, trailers, etc. and its not even coming out til next year.

This issue is most likely that Sony is a Broke Arse Joke and would rather spent money on comic books games then something that could really change the industry. As long as I get to play it though. Ill be happy

No, have at it, lads. My theory is called "The Peach Theory" and it is, in fact, copyrighted. It essentially states:

"Eating a woman's pussy is like eating a peach. If you get it too young, it'll have some fuzz on the skin and the meat is going to be hard and not very tasty. If you get it too old, it's going to taste a little dry, stale and it will be all mealy. If you get it JUUUUUST right, when you bite into that sumbitch it will be juicy, tender, and it'll juice all over your chin."

Dude, you always come through.

I sense a sudden urge for peaches...

My bad for using Smed as a symbol for the Company he works for and normally represents. By your logic this was also said off-the-record yet got recorded anyway, and since we got screwed then it's safe to assume we will get screwed now?

Unlike the article you quoted before, Smed clearly meant for what he said to become public knowledge...Though I would say we should all be prepared for PS2 not getting so much as a mention at Fanfaire despite today's "tweet".

Seems like it worked again. SOE lowers one's expectations to almost zero, and when they finally release a patch after a year of doing nothing, or in this case some info, everyone gets excited

Movin' to the country gonna eat a lot of peaches.

Mooovin' to the country gonna eat me a lot of peaches.

Hah, by that argument you'd be saying SOE is brilliant when it comes to efficiency in PR

All in all though, I would expect something similar to what happened to EQ:Next last year, maybe even a bit bigger reveal. Overall though, SOE has always been a big too much into using their player network for advertisement IMHO. I just hope this time they take a bit of effort in their promotion for the game, and air it big at some of the game shows / cons after it has been released. Even if that might mean setting the release date after e3 next year...

Heck, even without that, there's still SD comic con, GamesCom, Tokyo Game Show, DragonCon, and a few others... But e3 would do way better for promotion to the FPS market, and putting some money in TV and outdoor promotion would not be misspent money anyway...

As for those who are complaining about there only being fantasy players at Fan Faire, you are quite wrong. About a third of the populace is usually from Star Wars anyhow, and there's usually even a couple of Station Pass / ex-MxO / Planetside players around there, and lets not forget that DCUO will also join this year.

Almost had to do a double take when I read this news post.

Good to hear some new information is coming.

RedKnights · 2011-06-18, 09:12 AM

Yea, I agree. After having SOE stonewall on the subject of Planetside NEXT at E3 I didn't have much hope, it's awesome to hear something.

Frankly, I'll be overjoyed if they confirm the Vanu are still a playable side, or that the game will be a first person shooter, or that the battlefield will be persistent. -.-

MgFalcon · 2011-06-18, 12:20 PM

Smed has confirmed VS (i.e. All three empires) will be playable in Next. I was creeping on his posts on these forums not too long ago

Also it's common sense that it'll be FPS, you know being a core element of the games design and all...

Naeadil · 2011-06-18, 12:35 PM

i wonder if PS2 will have third person..
