Planetside 2 bringing “2011 AAA graphics quality” to MMOs – Sony

Latest tech finally allows SOE to do justice to Planetside 2, says Creative Director, with a brand new engine designed specifically to bring the “AAA visual effects and physics” you’d expect from a modern FPS to the massively multiplayer world of Planetside 2.

This game might be pretty good.

That would be incredible! That could of PS3s killer multiplayer game! Liking the idea of huge warfare! on huge environments with huge player count with vehicles will be incredible! Planetside did it and Planetside 2 needs to come on PS3 :D

PC only.

[cervantes99]

I hope they decide to bring it to PS3. This and Starhawk would be epic!

Or - maybe launch on PS4 :)

Fun fact: PlanetSide 1 the World Record holder for most simultaneous players on a single server for a FPS game.

"Sony Online Entertainment was not aware that there was a "record" being kept for simultaneous gameplay, but since it has now come to our attention, we would like to point out that PlanetSide has routinely hosted almost 500 players in a single zone, and regularly reaches 2,000 simultaneous players on a single server since the game launched on May 18, 2003."

I played the original forever ago on PC and it was pretty darn good for the time.

from IGN "When asked whether Planetside 2 would be PC only or if it would make it to the PS3 (where it could be very well suited), Smedley and Higby told me to "stay tuned." That's far less than an outright denial, but it's also no confirmation. Planetside 2 for the PS3 could well be in the works, but for now it seems we'll have to do as they say."

it's not a no which is a positive thing.

unless the PS4 is coming sooner than we think it could make it on PS3, but if the rumors are true about the PS4 releasing next year, it could launch on that.

"PS4 releasing next year"

'PS4 announcement next year'

Fix'd

[DEATHSTROKE-cro-]

nice. so,it COULD be on ps3

I hope so

[NicSage]

M.A.G was the same thing as Planetside, just on a smaller scale with a different look. I love M.A.G still play it, and I loved PlanetSide, I can't wait for the second. New Conglomerate will rise again!

I watched the conference and he hyped the engine up SO much, he said that "not only will this have the best MMO graphics, but the best graphics in any Single Player game too".

If you can find a recording of SoE Fan Faire rewatch it and he DEFINITELY says this...

Plantside two, using that engine, looks OK. You know? Global Agenda, Aion etc have similar graphics ... so yeah...

But the good part of this game is real-time thousand player battles.

If it's on the ps3 then he's just blowing smoke. It would have to be ps4 or pc exclusive for that to be true.

[StayStatic]

"AAA" ??????????

These games for the hearing impaired ?

[TheCampfireSong]

Game looks very good

[TheGameFoxJTV]

Why does Sony have a PC exclusive game, but MS doesn't and MS has it's on PC service? Microsoft, you fail too damn hard.

One of my Favorite games of all time is Planetside, I heard it through the grapevine that Planetside 2 would be coming out, I also heard it may come for the PS3 as well.

I've always said that Planetside can Directly rival Halo since both have simularities, the only real difference is Planetside is Online only, not solo.

Planetside already has a huge following to, It came out in 2003 I believe and is still active.

[ATiElite]

someone asked if this is coming to the PS3 and the answer is NO, NOPE, NO Way!

this game will be played on one server so your looking at thousands of gamers going at it FPS style.

I was thinking well DUST 514 will be on one server but it seems that CCP will be spreading players out over worlds and galaxies so not to have 100's of fighters in one spot unlike on the PC side where they can literally have everybody in one area.

Then SOE is going for AAA graphics so that's another factor that would hinder the PS3. I'm sure Sony will address these limitations on the PS4 as MMO's are the wave of the future.

but until then lets just enjoy another Sony Online Entertainment PC Exclusive

[Apotheosize]

Looks amazing but I really doubt it could come to the PS3, this is a high end game with a lot of players on screen in a seamless world. Maybe PS4
