Planetside 2 missing from IGN.com article


I know several who go to IGN.com for gaming news, and today there was an article about 2012 shooters and the almighty Planetside 2 isn't mentioned at all. I know it really hasn't been confirmed but it has been speculated. There are other titles listed that don't have an official release date, and are really much lower in expectations. If you all ready have a gamespy log in just use it, or make one so you can comment and help spread the word.

What the Hell!? That's like listing "popular sources of heat" and omitting THE SUN.


BAH!

The only ones I personally agree with are Starhawk and Bioshock Infinite.

Syndicate is a joke.

Halo 4 is failbound.

The Darkness 2, while actually pretty good, doesn't really deserve to be in there over Planetside 2.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2? The sequel to one of the trashiest shovelware titles ever? Okay...

On the note of exclusivity, PC gamers should see the release of two online shooters this year. Both Firefall and Tribes Ascend are currently in beta and should release later this year. Both games feature fast-paced futuristic gameplay. If gamers are lucky, MMO FPS PlanetSide 2 might just see the light of day before the end of the year.
Is that not a mention, or has he just edited that in?

Planetside 2 is still under the radar for a lot of people. There's a lot of folks out there who don't even know what the original Planetside is. All we have right now for the casual observer is a one minute trailer for PS2 which doesn't say anything at all. Go watch that announcement trailer. You see a bunch of dudes fighting over a tower. You see a couple tanks then those gunships start flying in. Sure for fans of Planetside it's exciting, but to anyone else watching that they likely won't care.

I don't blame IGN at all for not including PS2 on their list. If anything I think Planetside 2 is going to come as a big surprise to a lot of people

Wow, I really thought he didn't. Like I read this whole article very slowly twice just to make sure I could be accurate with "not even mention".

Edit: Yeah I'm 100% there was no bold/blue "Planetside 2" link before either, so I guess they tossed it in

But let this be a reminder, if you see PS2 has been left out say something

In this thread: Inflated sense of significance.

PS2 is a reasonably big deal, because so few things like it exist - MMOFPS solely focused on PVP.
PS2 isn't that big a deal because so many things like it exist - There are many large multiplayer FPS titles.
Compared to the big console titles it's small fry. Compared to other MMOs it's teensy.
Even in its heyday, Planetside just wasn't all that big.
I'd say Dust is more significant because its part of a currently popular MMO's universe.

In short, PS2 has the "good enough" problem. You can play Battlefield for pretty darn large FPS battles. Does adding in 100 more people really matter? Probably not for FPS folks.
You can play EVE or WoW or SWTOR for lots of people and PVP and persistence and depth. Do people that care about those things really wan to add FPS to the mix at the sacrifice of large amounts of non-pvp depth? Again, maybe, maybe not.

PS2, if it's going to get big, is going to have to be a "grower" title that doesn't have the release peak and decline but a more gradual build. And it seems like that's what SOE has set out to do.

Planetside 1, in its prime, was a time when:

1. The internet wasn't what it is today.

2. MMOs weren't as popular as they are today.

3. Planetside was ahead of its time to its detriment.

4. The Steam buzz didn't balloon the PC gamer market.

Surely it deserves more recognition, if for nothing else than being a true MMOFPS, than ****ing Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2.

What? IGN missed PS2?

Lemme take care of this...

edit: err, Planetside 2 IS mentioned? Its there, right besides Firefall. They just dont think release is anywhere close, and assume we are lucky if we see it released in 2012.

Very few sites have picked up our Higby Q&A either.
