Just found these two pics on Tony Park's blog - Page 2

Did anyone else think that the renaming I pointed out could simply be localization?

Anyone else worried that all they can show us is a drawn image on a board. No actual map of a cont, it is very very first stages at the moment.

How the hell can we trust anything Sony say now when Smedly was convinced that PS 2 would come out in March? Or a beta even? It was an out and out lie as you can see that they are still at the drawing board stage.

I would be saying end of 2012 minimum now for release.

Apparently you don't know who were dealing with here.

Because a beta and/or game was NEVER promised in March.

Agreed. My comment is that it looks terribly primative for something that was supposed to have a beta already out (now postponed to later this year?).

I'm looking at the SouthEast corner of the map, as seen in this picture. Being an experienced gamer and map-reader, I'd wager that the FISH icons I'm seeing indicate either a body of water, or a bunch of pet stores.

Well, I *WAS* fapping but reading this thread and its degeneration into yet ANOTHER thread about marketing and he said/she said/what was said/what wasn't said promises just made my cock go limp quicker than being asked to mercy-fuck Sputty's mom.

I really hope the game world isn't going to be smaller. They really just need to reuse all the current zones but make some improvements to them. Perhaps make one big world but you can use the same warpgates to get around quicker.

No. I want all-new zones that are less boredom-maximizing. More that are above plane maximum altitude. Trees that are so dense you can barely fit between them. Terrain that actually offers the soldier some advantages.

Eliminate maximum-uberstupidness Desolation, specifically designed for tank battles, but no tanks are allowed.

Uh oh... Didn't someone about PlanetSide from SOE says the name with a "2" on the end -- PlanetSide 2 -- wouldn't work because of their EverQuest 2?

Here's the important Google Translate quote of Tony Park on his blog (http://translate.google.co.uk/transl...m/the9tonypark):

I do not like it.

I'd rather they change the name of the old one or just put it in the "PlanetSide refuse" bin and keep the original "PlanetSide" for the new PlanetSide. It's their stuff after all. What harm could it do? Who'd fret over the confusion of both the better of the older game... ?

4km by 4km seem a little small - are they not the same size of the mini conts that replaced Oshur?

I would much rather have something on Cysors scale

Oh happy birthday Planetside at least you fans still love you....

What the fuck is that, a Warpgate in the water??

rnc100 · 2011-05-19, 09:02 AM

Thanks for the post looks interesting, map size brings a question to mind in regards to how massive are they aiming for in terms of players on the map.

Would make sense with some water vechs

Well thats 2.5 miles, honestly thats prob what we have now and its many times bigger than the BF maps. You have to understand that vehicles in PS move slow as hell. Their speed is in KPH which may be misleading if you are used to seeing MPH. A prowler for example moves at 33mph top speed. That means 5mins at full speed with no bumps or turns in a straight line. Realistically, 8 mins side to side at full speed in a relatively straight path. That seems about right for anything short of Ishunder which is quite massive but also has alot of empty space. (not a bad thing tho)

Also, keep in mind that if a map goes from 1 km across to 2, its 4x bigger, so the BF maps which are maybe 1km, compared to 4km...at minimum 16x bigger area than those maps.

Distinct biospheres just means the same as old ps where each cont had its own biosphere or climate. Aka, snowy conts, desert conts, jungle, temperate, etc.
