MediaStinger: "Based off the previous MMOFPS that started it all, technology has finally caught up after eight years and allowed Sony Online Entertainment to develop the PlanetSide game they always intended to make. PlanetSide 2 was one of the most ambitious titles we saw at E3 this year with servers that will allow for 2000 people all playing at once. Last year, Starhawk‘s multiplayer stole the show for us in terms of epic multiplayer battles and went on to live up to the hype when it was released last month. For those unfamiliar with the PlanetSide series, it plays a lot like Starhawk, but on a much, much bigger scale and only on the PC — sorry console fanboys, this is one war you won’t be a part of."
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.
Didn't play the first one but will for sure be getting this since its free!
