Also: Vanu 4 live bro!

And:


AND almost forgot: VS max concept looks bloddy AWESOME! Gimme ingame shot! :>

PS2 is a faster paced game, as it is, at this very moment, there are no vehicle enter and exit animations. Who knows, that could change tomorrow

yes VS does rock
and , No you may no have an in game shot of the VS max. Marketing would try to put a hit out on me.

Is there vehicle enter / exit timers or is it instant? I don't really see how taking 2 - 3 seconds to enter / exit a vehicle really slows down the game :/

Would you rather shoot someone in the face instantly or give them 3 seconds to run and hide before you can shot them?

BANG! you're dead?

Or

................BANG! Sh*t he got away?

Works both ways, guy get inside tank and kills me asap...or he takes 3 seconds meanwhile I kill him before he gets in, em I rite?


Dude has a tank already, he shouldn't get off to kill u anyways.

Well, currently in planetside the three seconds it takes for someone to get into a vehicle is enough time to pull out a jammer or head for cover before he starts shooting.
I have no idea how PS2 will work but I really liked that in PS1. Maybe I'm biased because I rarely drove tanks, but I thought it was more balanced this way.

I dunno. If he's in danger of running away, I should shoot him with my rifle/sidearm, rather than trying to get into a vehicle to kill him.

That's why I like the boarding animations. Heck, if I'm stupid enough to embark a vehicle with enemies around, he should get a last chance to try to get a shot in if he's feeling gutsy.

This.

T-Ray, you're going to find that almost no one on this board is in favor of instantly getting being able to use vehicles, regardless of whether or not there are animations.

http://www.planetside-universe.com/f...ad.php?t=36472

86% of 147 voters here want vehicle animations, and mostly it's due to the balance of not being able to instantly use a tank like in, uh, more modern shooters.

It will all shake out in the wash.... Nothing is etched in stone until its on live, even then it can be changed. Again, like I said, thats how it is at this very moment in time.

I will collect all those quotes of you guys saying "nothing is set in stone", and once it goes down to beta, and we all yell at you because of headshots and vehicle exit and boarding animations, i will just smack all those quotes in your faces.


Anyway, i won, cool. What do i get? ALpha access?

[BronzeElemental]

I'm cool with no boarding animations and also with headshots. A faster paced game is just what I would have asked for in PS2.

That and my other suggestions.

and how do boarding animations speed up game play exactly?

how does that fit into the "faster gameplay " argument?

lets slow everything down while i watch myself get out of the tank, that sure adds to faster gamepacing.

Doesn't look like we'll be seeing anything new in a while... better drink my own piss.

Now hypothetically speaking, if you told us how long we had to wait for new information, then hypothetically marketing wouldn't need to put a hit out on you... Yay loopholes!
