MMOs are something of a poisoned chalice for game developers; they either go on to accomplish great things and prove hugely successful, or they crash and burn with nary a second thought given."
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.
SoE haven't produced a game this good since Everquest. If you look at all the free games out there nothing compares to this. Even most retail games can't measure up.
We could be looking at a new benchmark in the FPS genre. BF 3 should be worried.
