geforce.com : To kick things off we visited Sony Online Entertainment’s booth to check out the eagerly anticipated Planetside 2, a free-to-play massively multiplayer online first-person shooter that sees over 1,000 players duke it out simultaneously for control of resource-generating bases. Creative Director Matt Higby gave us a quick rundown of the game and then dived straight into the tech, extolling the virtues of the game’s internally developed engine before detailing NVIDIA’s involvement with the project:
Planetside 2’s future is uncertain as the IP was sold for a relatively low sum to a company with no history.
Was such a cool concept back in the day - shame that it never really took off like it probably could have with more support
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.
$399 is the minimum price for a GTX 670. Ouch.
In a recent developer interview it was made known that the machines used for the trails of Planetside 2 at E3 were using high-end PC hardware. They also informed the viewers that they are doing all they can to allow for compatibility with a wide range of settings and hardware. I'm sure they will release more information as the Beta gets going and they can start to test a wide range of user builds.
Sony's first next gen game!
