The had a fucking boulevard to sweep every person waiting for a combined arms FPS after the slump Battlefield was in with a Planetside 3 and they didn't do it. What gives?Hell, they could've just slapped a "3" on a graphical update of PS2 with new fancy animations and guns + rebalance and they'd have found an audience.
>>741616406Dunno, don't really care. But I did enjoy Planetside 2 some, it's only (or maybe second) online fps game that I played a lot. Nothing quite like it, even if balancing and nature of the game can make it kind of bad sometimes.
>>741616406In case you haven't noticed we aren't allowed to have nice things Go back to work and maybe they will make good games again
>>741616406I heard the old PS2 devs are working on an open world extraction shooter or some shit.
>>741616745Christ that's like putting a gun in your mouth at this point. Stop trend-chasing you fucking retards, the market's already filled.
>>741616406What they need to do is get rid of that P2W shit. It's ridiculous how much paypigs get an advantage in this game.
>>741616745>>741616829https://store.steampowered.com/app/2995670/Reaper_Actual/It's already in EA.
>>741616406the crown belongs to the TR
>>741617057>Mostly NegativeYeah.
>>741617356We're already pulling up outside
We don't have the technology for a massively multiplayer online fps with 100+ person battles anymore.
>>741616406I like PS2, the problem it has is that for a game like this it needs an active playerbase at all hours of the day, and for a game thatisnt a household name that just isnt going to happen/>love that Over the Top WW1 game>dead in a month>needs 200 players per server to be funYou just cant do it, unfortunately the average person just does not give a fuck about anything that isnt mainstream. PS3 could be a genuinely great game, and it would still be out performed by exactly what you expect. The only non AAA mainstream multiplayer games that do well are coop games, so if I was to make a game like PS I would actually make it a coop game, where its 200 players vs hordes of AI enemies on a large persistent map. These pvp games just cant keep a playerbase, and are unplayable without one.
>>741617410Somebody post THOSE NC webms. You know the ones.
>>741616829The market is already filled only if you're mindlessly trend chasing without stopping to think what you're bringing to the table. Duckov sold more than 3 million copies. Shart Raiders sold more than 16 million.
>>741617410>best aesthetics>best looking and sounding guns>best memeswe really wonned the war in the end
>>741616406If Planetmans 3 came out today it would be devoid of any fun.There is no hope it will happen anyway.
>>741619794I picked the NC purely on aesthetic grounds. TR had too many goggles and Vanu are just fags in general.
>>741616745>>741616829>>741617057It's unanimously considered bad by ps2 players.
>>741616993Eternal Crusade was supposed to be warhammer 40k flavored mmofps. Didn't they say some shit early on before the game died that f2p players could only play as orks? Anyways, next mmofps should have f2p players be conscripted cannon fodder if it's a purchaseable game. That shit would be funny. Make them a special shit soldier like Imperial Guard/Gretchins/zerglings
>>741619794I stayed NC my whole planeside life, bros.
>>741620489Impressive! Miss livin' free in the NC
>>741617551The funniest and most embarrassing NC webm is the one where some sniper is watching an NC base vehicle terminal, shoots the NC guy using it once, and then the guy turns around and frags another NC guy standing behind him because he thought THAT guy shot him (not unfounded).
>>741625347Yes, that's the one. There is another one, similar. NC has team killing problem.
>>741626326Problem is underselling it. The first time I spawned in as NC at a safe base some distance from the frontlines, a guy walked up to me and shot me in the face for literally no reason.
I loved Magrider as a gunner, with a good driver that knows how to flank and move around.
I NEED MORE BATTERIES
>I'll never play PS2 with my old outfit ever again;_;
>>741616406Do you have any idea how much that engine cost to develop and run? They were in the deficit until they milked the community with the generic universal weapons.
>>741631523Then play it with a new one.
>>741632378I dropped the game soon after construction update and game rebalance. They nerfed all the fun things. How is the game today?
>>741632512I have not played for a while no too, couple of years, at least, so I don't know. But before that? Seemed fine on weekends, when a lot of people were playing.
>>741616406Planetside hasn't had a development team that would be capable of creating a Planetside 3 in over a decade. Planetside 2 only existed because the developers were loosely a part of Sony, so they had some access to Sony's server architecture.
>>741616745a BLOCKCHAIN open world extraction shooter
>>741624505it was considered bad by everyone, it was a "foundational alpha" that had broken AI, it was laggy as shit, and had no content. It funneled everyone to a single zone on the map to fight each other, with very little risk or reason. Might as well have been a deathmatch game.
>>741632702>SOE is a kill>Name the new company "they break games"I don't know what I was expecting at that point.
because the planetside 3 battle royale they tried in 2019 shut down after a month and probably sank several years of dev budget
>>741616406Ps2 is a dogshit grindfest.Gas the tranu, aux war now.
>>741616406the problem with PS2 was the pants-on-head retarded devsfirst of all they released the game in a horrible state, with balance being wack out of place, you needing a supercomputer to run it above 30 FPS, etc.they added construction and other bullshit for no reasonthey made some youtuber the head designer and he fucked with the game balance so much that it became an unsalvageable messand then doubled down on dumb antifun mechanics and OS and router spam(hey what if made a hanheld sunderer with zero downsides???) was inevitable in every fightoverall just one stupid decision after another over the years made people abandon the game, and I spent several thousand hours and a shitton of money on cosmetics, and had maxed out my TR character and had aurax guns in my VS and NC alts as wellwhen it worked, it was quite possibly the best game ever, there was literally nothing like it in the market. but due to retarded devs and a loud minority of players that said devs listened to the game is now dead.
>>741633382cont'd.also, due to the fact that SBMM doesn't exist in the game by design (it simply literally can not), you would routinely have instances of vets just farming clueless noobs, which causes them to quit the gamethey tried to remedy this, but it was too little too late and they STILL couldn't get it right, you NEED to be in an outfit unless you know what you are doing, otherwise you will just get raped over and over and over again and just uninstallthe actual tutorial is worthless in explaining the game mechanics, the map flow, where should you fight, omg that ESF is farming me what do, etc.not to mention the same "vets" and "content creators" being extremely toxic towards new players and straight up organizing farming contests when some youtuber tries to bring in fresh blood into the game because they cannot fathom someone disturbing their circlejerk, this game certainly attracted a certain type of autist
>>741634072God I can't stand farmfags. Just play the game like normal people you miserable fucks.
>>741636987to be honest, if it's not ops hours for your outfit there is little else to dowhen you have multiple outfits across all factions playing the map is when the actual game begins
>>741616406Nobody wants to make or play games anymore.
>>741616406why did they have to make the only us server west coast man. i love having my us server being another east asia server.
>>741620489this is still my favorite ps2 screenshot of all time and maybe favorite vidya screenshot everthere's just something about it
>LIVE FREE IN THE NC>YOU CALL YOURSELF A SOLDIER?!>NYAAAAHAHAHAHAHAsovl
WAIT UPLET ME HOP IN
>>741616406Planetside 2 was totally headless as a game. It swapped studios 3 times or something and there was constant behind the scenes issues.
Childhood is idolizing TR. Adulthood is realizing NC makes more sense.
Since this is the oldfag planetside 2 thread what faction and playstyle did you guys gravitate towards? I pretty much never touched vehicles and only ever played infantry solo on my VS character.
>>741639258heavy assault cucking flyfagsthe dopamine rush of shooting down a flyer from the ground couldn't be beat
Why were NC allowed to have by far the best selection of guns/vehicles?>best carbines >best ARs>best maxes>ESF was the best for flyniggers>Vanguard wins every frontal encounter (the only ones that matter in big fights)>great secondary guns for vehicles>every patch featured some new gun that was busted OP (battle rifle that could shoot down libs)
>>741639062>>741639258>TR weapons all shoot incredibly fast as a gimmick>firerate is tied to your FPS for whatever silly fucking reasonI liked TR but couldn't play as them since I was on a toaster and had to cope by clicking heads as NC. Drifter LA was the most fun you could have in this game though.
>>741617356We call this tactical superiority
>>741639258TR light assault, PC was too laggy to grind vehicles. Still put 700 hours into the game, mostly at sub 30 FPS kek, regret nothing
>>741639838>spoilerI would get so many ragetells by farmfagging vehicle players doing LA drifter C4 fairy shit.
>>741617057>59 reviews in a month>mostly negativedamn, this is downright depressing
I think I'm one of the 10 people total who auraxiumed this piece of shit for that stupid NSO helmet
>spent so much time auraxing TR carbines>had a blast with the jaguar>finally get TRAC-Shot>it was nowhere near as fun as the jaguar>forced myself to use the TRAC-Shot anyway because of sunk cost
>>741639258I played literally everything>HA with the Butcher, nuff said, probably the most kills I have on any gun>LA shotgunmaxxing or just taking the longer range carbines and getting into weird angles>Medic has like 0 bad guns and you are printing certs>Engineer's turret with the right implant setup and good positioning is borderline broken>Infil with thermals+smokes for ninja gameplay>Park my Prowler on a hill and turn every vehicle, including ESFs into slag in the horizon>Commit horrifying atrocities with a Liberator>Transport my outfit pals with the Galaxy>Get my Sunderer into weird places and then play a full time babysitter for it, fending off wave after wave of LAsgood times
>>741631523
>>741640850TR's aurax weapon is so unfortunate because the jaguar is by far their best carbine
>>741616406They don't have the money or dev team anymore after planetside arena and bad updates going back afew years. The game has been on life support since that faggot director Wrel left so now they're just doing double xp, cranking out cosmetics to keep the lights on for the members that are still there all awhile adding garbage.On top of these the game is so old that new bugs are popping up that it takes forever to get them fixes like the one where the game will close after the anticheat flags you as a false positive and the only way to bypass it is to enter a tank and drive or some other retarded thing.
Why does everyone hate the VS?
How come we're not seeing more attempts at making 500vs500 games anymore? I think the Foxhole devs are the only ones who are doing it but wasted the engine on a shitty medieval MMO.
>>741642484Building and maintaining your own servers somehow became lost technology for gamedevs so now everyone relies on AWS for hosting. Its retardedly expensive to keep your shit up on AWS unless you are raking in the cash.
>>741642453this archetype
>>741642719Betelgeuse was so overrated. Identical stats to the default LMG the VS get and the cooldown time is the same as the default's reload. Then they just nerfed it to be worse than the default so all the stat padding HA autists just ran with the default.
>>741642453I don't like furfags or weebs, which make up 80% of the Vanu playerbase for some strange reason.
>>741642484The only way it will ever happen again is if some filthy rich nerd, someone with tens of millions of dollars to spare without thinking twice takes it up as his passion project.No fucking way any for-profit game company will touch the concept with a ten foot pole, just maintaining it would be a huge resource drain, not to mention that UE5 would never handle this kind of game and nowadays custom game engines are WH40k-tier archeotech. Especially when everyone is chasing that live service hero shooter dragon with 1/100 of effort requited.
>>741639258I played mostly VS. Started Heavy assault and engineer, but learned to love medic and light assault. Mostly just infantry, or as a gunner (love Magriders with good drivers).
>>741616406Smedley is a con artist who only cares about making a quick buck, they just capitalized on the success of Planetside 1 with Planetside 2 and then Planetside Arena which was battle royale slop and killed the series so they moved on. Hope you enjoy blockchain extraction shooters because your Planetside 3 is now Reaper Actual.
>>741642453it's the devs favorite faction with the least downsides to their weapons, which makes them alot easier to play, unlike the other classes where the guns actually have recoil and ballistics.
>>741646893>dev's favorite factionThat isn't NC tho?
>>741646974>That isn't NC tho?no to the highest degree
>>741641189War, war never changes.
>>741647113VS guns were largely subpar in their actual stats. They had like 3 good guns everyone ran like Orion/Betelgeuse, pulsar C, actually I think that was it. The no dropoff gimmick was a total meme because sniper rifles still had bullet drop and those were the only class of guns where it would matter. If you knew how to click heads you would be way more successful with NC guns. Even the Gauss SAW being a total meme default LMG is an absolute monster if you click heads with the fastest theoretical TTK in the game.
I liked wearing the giraffe armor for VS that looked kind of like NC armor and walking up to NC dudes and shotgunning them in the face
>>741647695Based.NC faggots would simply think it's just friendly™ fire.
>>741647474Doesn't change the fact VS is the devs favorite faction. There weapons in practice are just easy to use, they even had streams of devs using vanu most of the time. The most tryhard outfits on NA were all vanu like SoKaar's legion and still carries over today even after the server merges, vanu are a cancer.
>>741648727>The most tryhard outfits on NA were all vanu like SoKaar's legion and still carries over today even after the server merges, vanu are a cancer.That would be Joker which was an outfit filled with aimbotters.
>>741647695For me it was shooting anyone wearing the hideous pink camo that looked identical on all factions. Zero hesitation since there was always a chance it was an enemy and taking the fraction of a second to check would get you killed.
Playing on Connery and VS was always at 27% faction pop unless it was 3 AM when the koreans would wake up and rape the server.
>>741616406Angels Fall First is hitting 1.0 soon, planetside will die forever
>>741650060Pretty sure AFF's primary purpose for the last... let's check - twenty years was being put on resumes of aspiring game devs.It's a multiplayer shooter with 40 players 24h peak.
>>741647474Might be right, I usually do worse worse against NC than TR when playing Vanu.
>>741616406I suspect that most of the brown military shooter audience is too insecure for sci fi.
>>741642453in my time, it was a sorely oversaturated faction that was also heavily reinforced by actual Reddit clans. it wasn't wholly representative of the entire game but something close to a wide majority of Vanu on major servers were run by Reddit groups according to community polling. So not only did you have a surplus of gliding cockroach tanks on every hill, every killfeed you got was of a Zebra skinned soldier wearing a tiny rainbow flag .
>>741617410The only that prevented the NC from completely dominating the game 24/7 was our endless need to fuck around.Good times.
>>741655790NC was indirectly nerfed because the majority of NC players were highschoolers.
>>741642938It had an extremely powerful trait though, unlimited ammo; and it reloaded itself automatically when you pulled out your commi which was basically another primary weapon. As a result, it allowed you to have barely any downtime between engagements which was vital when holding/taking points.
I hate NC scatmaxesI especially hate fucking nigger maxes on NC that ran mattocks + slugs
