It 's another ridiculous limitation of the world changing ForgeLight engine... because I can't believe they are actually the jerks their responses to it make them out to be.

I miss all the ES variants to the Deli. Loved the TR Raider (of course). If we get some continents with water....it will be LAME if there are no vehicles to go out on H20 to challenge or harass the Mag. Also, Mags with VS deli variants mixed in is more interesting (especially in an open water fight) to fight against that just a swarm of Mags-only.

I wish all weapons we're a little less OP, so we could spend 5-10 seconds more time fighting.......especially vehicle vs vehicle warfare.

This thing looks incredibly badass.

Bring back, oh bring back, oh bring back my Raider to me, to me...

Nice! I like secret vehicles

My bet remains on deliverer.. though when I last asked about it.. it wasn't in the plans. Hopefully plans changed!

Also, I really wish people would stop asking for enter/exit animations.. let it go. It was awesome.. it's not happening in PS2.

Can we still ask for specific entry points instead of vehicles magically sucking you in so you can predict where someone has to enter or exit and they get to understand if they even can enter or exit?

I feel the same way about the lattice.

Why? We already got one. Why can't we discuss what we have?

Looks like A TR bad boy called Marauder to me. But the Marauder had one driver and 2 gunners. Tray tweeted Marauder. Don't know if it was as hint, hint or just questioning our Marauder guess.

Baneblade · 2013-02-07, 09:42 PM

Well Marauder doesn't necessarily mean it will be an ES vehicle.

Seeing that makes me wonder what ever happened to this guy?

Why didn't I ever think that? When they tweeted this, they mentioned something about getting troops to the battle safely, so I assumed it was some type of troop carrier. But this sucker would make an awesome ANT for Planetside 2. Now you got my hopes up!!

I had the same opinion until I played far cry 3 recently and I was amazed how good those first person enter/exit animations feel. It's just awesome. they are very short and hardly noticeable, but give a great feeling of immersion. I'd love them like that in ps2, but it would take some work to implement them for the animators and modelers... and they seem to struggle with even the basic stuff like different weapon models or decent helmets, so I'm not getting my hopes up.

The devs obviously have their hands full as it is now, and signs are indicating that the dev team has less resources now than it did a few weeks ago. So I'm not expecting this anytime soon.

But if we keep the candle lit, who knows? Maybe in 5 years, when they are scrounging around for ideas they can do it. But if there's no framework in place to support this right now (which it appears there isn't), then I suppose chances are it'll never happen. But I will keep waving my lighter up in the air for it.

Dodgy Commando · 2013-02-08, 08:12 AM

Exactly.

I'm used to the magic touch with recent games, but in an ideal world it would be great to have the animations back. They were one of the things that set PS1 apart from other games for me, and really contribute to the immersion in the games that still use them.

Now I agree the Devs have bigger fish to fry at the moment.
