PC Gamer have taken an exclusive look at the vast new free to play sequel, Planetside 2. Developers, Sony Online Entertainment told PCG that Planetside 2 battles will rage across “eight-by-eight kilometre continents” and take place on a different scale to the shooters we’re used to.
“I always like to say that Planetside and Planetside 2 are sort of like, they’re to Battlefield and Modern Warfare and those FPS games – and don’t take this as a denigration at all, I love those games, I play those games – but those games are sort of like Checkers where we’re sort of like Risk,” says creative director Matt Higby.
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.
I'm very excited about Planetside 2 as it's going to be beyond awesome as it along with Firefall usher in the the Next Gen of MMOFPS.
PC it's the ONLY platform capable of 1000 vs. 1000 on a single battlefield map that's 8x8 kilometers big.
