New Planetside 2 video details new engine, factions, shows gameplay
A brand new gameplay video of Planetside 2 has appeared online, showing some of the SOE development team detailing the game’s new engine, the factions within it and some new gameplay towards the end. Get it below the break. The MMOFPS doesn’t have a date as yet.
Thanks, DSB.

Josh Hackney is staring at me.
So far it looks pretty interesting though. If they can mix production values with the intelligence of the original, it’s gonna make Battlefield look like child’s play (again).

@1 Hopefully, it’ll have the audience to properly appreciate it too.
As an aside, Josh Hackney looks like one intense dude.

@2 It’s always going to be hit and miss online I reckon. If it becomes popular it’ll probably suffer a bit.
I guess that’s one of the ironies of the original, it never really became big enough to be worth spoiling.
Hopefully they’ll keep the clan system. I think that goes a long way to make people serious about playing, all the way to seeing your emblem on the vehicles etc.

Good lookin’ out, DSB! Thanks! This is the first real “look” at this game to date. I hope this game lives up to the promise of the original.
Dude, that Josh seriously looks like he’s angry at the camera. Like if he didn’t have to talk to it he’d reach over and choke it.
