Gamasutra: Mobile social gaming network OpenFeint and Chinese online gaming company The9 have revealed they will provide funds to mobile developers BulkyPix, Fishing Cactus, Duello Games, and Binary Mill to help these teams port their iOS titles to Android.
President of Sony Online Entertainment announces that PlanetSide 2's launch in China has shown much bigger numbers than PlanetSide 2's numbers at release in North America.
Cant wait to play this on my new sexy,elegant,curvy...oh sorry i dozed off i meant my PS4.
Hopefully the PS4 launch will really boost up the PlanetSide 2 numbers in NA/EU! Would love to see more people playing this game.
I've been playing it for a few weeks. It's pretty good but the size of the maps take a while to get use too. I have to admit sometimes I'm running around with no idea what to do and when I do find some action it doesn't end well for me lol.
As far as I know there wont be cross play with pc players

you should know saying anything positive or anything about pc games on this so called gaming site will get you disagrees. i definitely gotta check out firefall looks hott
Was playing it on PC for a while. It's really good for a Free to play game and it's a different take on FPS games.
Battles can be huge, but at the end of the day, it's not a game I can play every day because there is nothing to strive or work towards..
I kinda stopped playing Planetside 2 since PS4 version was announced plus FIREFALL has really gotten better in so many ways as it strives to be an eSport and great FPSMMO.
I just don't care for games being dumbed down for consoles as Planetsides 2 new updates have really made the game move towards the casual gamer direction.
I started playing Battlefield 3 for the first time and I'm enjoying it more than PS2, but PS2 did stuff in the game I've never experience before.
It's beyond huge and ALWAYS alive and running. There are always battles somewhere and them adding alerts actually makes you care about a certain continent and makes battles even bigger.
It just doesn't have that quick addictiveness other FPS games have as there really is nothing to gain or lose.
They add stuff all the time though so I'm sure they have stuff planned.
Sorry to be pedantic, but its " *addictive* as hell". Addicting is barely a word (it only appears in less than 50% of dictionaries) and can only be properly used in certain circumstances i.e. 'Sara is addicting john to chess', the game of chess itself is 'addictive'.
Before Apple had Game Center it had OpenFeint, a gaming network that brought a cohesive online experience to countless iPhone, iPad and eventually Android games. Some of us may have opted to miss out on its fun features, but for many game developers it was a priceless tool. Come December 14, OpenFeint will be no more.
Yeah never used it myself as well. I dont like signing up for things I won't be using much. The only thing good was that it offered free games time to time. But it also seems these free app a day services are slowly dying as well. Games are now usually free for some time if the developers themselves issue it. I guess it could be the mobile scene is just dying down.
Besides the online for mobile sucks arse, there's barely anyone online. You'll spend hours searching or playing against the bots.
The mobile social game wars are heating up, as OpenFeint just took on former Glu Mobile executive Sarah Thompson (pictured) as its director of developer relations, SocialTimes reports. In other words, OpenFeint, owned by Japanese mobile social gaming powerhouse Gree, hired Thomson to strategically acquire build relationships with independent developers.
