The NC and VS press will involve three times as many interviews with articles twice as long.

SOE building up some of the media's awareness and/or PS2 hype pre-E3?

I guess so. I like it.

Added as news.

TR trying to steal the title of "Bitchiest Empire" from the VS?

I'm not sure if I should celebrate this or bitch about it.

I like this article. Faction loyalty was one of the fun things in the original, and doing things like this to hook players in to which empire would suit them best will really help PS2 take off like a rocket when the game launches.

This guy keeps saying the NC has higher tech than TR.

I thought the NC just put everything together with duct tape.

Their time on Auraxis has caused them to rely heavily on their honed military tactics and wide-reaching resources, since some of their brightest and wealthiest have defected to the V.S. and N.C. respectively.

Too bad that what he's saying is not true or doesn't show AT ALL when looking at the NC.

The NC utilise electromagnetic projectile devices so, we have SOME things.

But, yeah, we could use some more. Like experimental alloys to explain how our vehicles can take more damage.

i think the NC story was altered alittle from straight up freedom fighters, to freedom fighters with corporate backing.

could be wrong though.

Why do the NC only get a health boost while the VS get xp boost and hp boost and TR gets -1xp? The NC should have the bonus health and xp, TR should have bonus xp, and VS should have -xp, that makes no sense. because its rewarding people to join a superior empire.

Good questions ! I don't know why, it's a SOE screenshot. Or maybe that's why.
:P

Looking for the empire background stories, I found this:

Very outdated but interesting to say the least.
