Planetside 3

Memeotis · 2012-07-03, 06:13 AM

I'm impressed. The first planetside was way ahead of its time, and as a result was riddled with compromises due it's ambitious goal of 400 players on one continent. This is certainly not the case for Planetside 2. Not only does the game seem completely up to date for modern standards, but its makers also believe they can manage to have a whopping 2000 players on one continent.

So here's my question to you guys. Now that planetside has managed to catch up to the graphical and mechanical level of modern shooters and will probably manage to keep up, what do you think Planetside 3 will be able to achieve? How many players do you think it can have per continent? And do you think there is a limit to how many players should be on one continent? (Assuming we have the technological capacity to sustain say... one million on a single continent). And if yes, why?

Virtual reality with brain stem input.

I guess the theoretical limit would be to have the entire pop of every empire on the same server, and make continents close to real world size.

Science makes it impossible to die... and the story begins.

Makes use of not touch-screens but mind-screens.

Squad leaders can enforce teamwork by causing physical pain through neural jacks.
A happy squad is an effective squad! (You are happy aren't you?)

You will be able to level your character up through wishing. Also, free unicorns for all pre-purchase.

I'd like to see a remodel of Earth with constant updates from like google Earth and it'd fit the player amount of each continent on that continent.

I predict Planetside 2 will be a massive failure and Planetside 3 will never be created.

Only time will tell but if SOE reverts back to its former state of imprudent decision making then there is a 99% that will happen.
