Junkiemonkeys: A MMO FPS (Massive Multiplayer Online First-Person Shooter) with large scale battles seemed too good to be true years back. With more titles in the genre being created today, I figured I’d give PlanetSide 2 a shot to see what all the fuss was about. I might be ‘Late To The Party‘ for the PC release of PlanetSide 2 but seeing as the game is coming to the PlayStation 4 in the near future, I figured I’d be early to the next party and give you all some insight on the highly talked about shooter.
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.
PS2 on PS4 will be epic.
This game should be sick.
The F2P titles on the PS4 so far have not been so good in my opinion. I downloaded DC Universe, Blacklight, and Warframe and have put an hour or two into each and I have not been impressed. Hopefully PS2 will be better than what has been released so far. It looks pretty good from the videos I have seen from the PC version.
If F2P games are to work economically the game itself has to be solid on some level.
When the game allows you to actually login after about 2 hours of trying and the game isn't bugging out and freezing your rig or CTD when things get fun or when people aren't lag switching, it can be a fun game.
I do not hold out much hope for a smooth release on the PS4 considering they haven't sorted out the myriad of big and small problems on the PC a year after release.
The Planetside 2 forums basically paints the picture of the current state of the game.
