"Maybe a minor gaming topic, but one which has been popping up throughout the latter portion of this week is whether Sony Online Entertainment has plans to launch their upcoming sci-fi MMO FPS for the PlayStation 3. The game debuted during SOE’s open conference at its Fan Faire in Las Vegas, promising to support huge-scale persistent online environments and class-less, skill driven gameplay; PlanetSide 2 is SOE’s most ambitious project to date and certainly worth keeping an eye on..."
Planetside 2’s future is uncertain as the IP was sold for a relatively low sum to a company with no history.
The last Live Letter is done and we were all surprised at the announcement of a delay to the release of FFXIV's Endwalker expansion, we got some more details about the MMORPG's new PvP Crystal Conflict mode, and some system details. Then we talk about PlanetSide 2's new continent and LOTRO's new expansion before wrapping up with some good changes for Ubisoft and Blizzard... but are they enough? All that and more on this week's Always Online!
PlanetSide 2 is going to be getting its next major expansion this December. This new addition, titled “Expedition: Oshur” will be the first addition in almost seven years to bring an entirely new continent to the game.
That would be pretty cool and I wouldnt be all that suprised since Free Realms and DCUO are but Planetside 2 looks like a system pushing game, seamless worlds, hundreds of players, I dont think the PS3 could be able to without making a lot of sacrifices
Wasn't there an article here that pretty much said it's coming to the PS3?
it will likely have to be brought down in scale if they do bring it out for PS3, but I'd love to see it, so please do it!
64-players MP? No.
256-player MP? No.
1000-player MP? Yes.
Not to be a pessimist but I'd pass on that. SOE can't program on the PS3 to save their jobs. DCUO is a hot mess on the PS3 and the servers reflect it. Ghost towns. I'll pass on that until they prove themselves.
