New PlanetSide 2 Teaser trailer
According to a recent study the video game MMO market is worth more than 12 billion. We live in a global village heading towards Johnny Quest or Tron, the point is that we have become so connected to each other that distance does not matter. PlanetSide fans would be glad to know that PlanetSide 2, a MMOFPS is back. What we have here is a teaser trailer.
PlanetSide 2 takes all the groundbreaking features from the original game – massive multiplayer battles, distinct empires to rally around, and enormous continents where intense ground and air combat unfolds.
With advanced technology, years of gamer feedback, and a new SOE proprietary MMO game engine called Forgelight™, PlanetSide 2 offers a truly competitive and visceral FPS experience with massive warfare, massive customization and massive community.
Personally I am a huge fan of MMPRPG but after the teaser trailer I want more. I am looking forward to what the developers have to show in the next trailer and finally in the game.
With a an extensive skill tree and free-form class-based system, players will be able to customize their soldier, weapons and vehicles to match their play-style, as well as the needs of their squad, outfit or empire. The battle can last for days and weeks hence the players will have to build alliances and battle gear for maximum survivability.
Some of the key features of the game are:
• MASSIVE WARFARE: Battles will take place not between dozens of troops, but hundreds; with air and ground vehicles slugging it out alongside squads of troops.
• Three Empires: Players will have their choice to join three different empires:
o Terran Republic – With a militaristic government, the Terran Republic uses its Imperial authoritarian might to impel humanity to peaceful coexistence through any means necessary.
o New Conglomerate – A loosely connected group of rebel factions and idealistic freedom fighters, the New Conglomerate fights against the hegemony of the Terran.
o Vanu Sovereignty – A technocratic faction that believes humanity can only evolve by rediscovering and tapping the lost technology of the Vanu.
• BATTLE FOR TERRITORIES & RESOURCES: The core gameplay of this game is about holding key territories and controlling valuable resources. Each battleground holds valuable resources and key positions, and the empire that can conquer (and manage to hold) these territories will be rewarded with fuel bonuses, ammo bonuses, tech bonuses, and more.
• ENORMOUS MAPS: The game will launch with several continent maps; every inch of which will be contestable space. With the new territorial control meta-game, landmass will have intrinsic value even without notable installations or major features.
• FREE-FORM CLASS-BASED SYSTEM: Players will be able to unlock diverse combat roles by advancing through the skill tree, including several classic roles from PlanetSide. As players unlock new roles, they will be able to switch between them at will.
• MISSION SYSTEM: Both SOE and players will be able to drive content, easing new players into the game and allowing veterans to feed content to players.
• SKILL TREES: Players will be able to build their soldier to match their
play-style, or to match the needs of their squad, outfit or empire. Each combat role, vehicle and weapon will have extensive skill trees. These cert trees will allow players to grow characters laterally, unlocking weapons, attachments, equipment, specialized skills, and more.
• OUTFITS: Outfits, what we also call gear. One of the most important things in a MMO. Players can customize their outfits to their own needs, combat style, and faction standing.
• WEAPONS: Players will be able to access more than 20 basic weapons, which can be customized to players’ preference or purpose.
• VEHICLES: Customizable vehicles with every empire having its own unique one.
• Vivox Integration: Players will be able to communicate with their squads both through keyboard and voice chat.
