>500 players

Yeah right

>>15872643

They were 6 years early than the competition, but then Sony Online Entertainment/Daybreak were incompetent idiots who keep reading the market wrong or just plain old out of touch old men who still thinks it's 1999, while having no vision. They had to waste fucking time and resources on a DayZ clone then come back to PS2.

>>15872662

That faggot Wrel was looking at the current crop of shooting games like Destiny and WarFrame, we're probably gonna see shit like that. Which they promises 4 years ago but never bothered to implement while wasting time on a PS4 version.

>>15872686

>Also I think their biggest mistake was making the game free at launch. PS2 is one of the most underrated games. Players did not really appreciate the game because it was free.

Players did not appreciate the game because releasing a free to play game where not even your whaliest of whales can play it without countless technical issues is fucking retarded. And then you're trying to "balance" it for competitive play while also making performance somewhat stable, and while also trying to make money off cosmetics, it's a shitshow of conflicting objectives. Planetside 2 failed because the people working on it are idiots who had no idea what they were doing in the first place, not because it's free. It being free had a hand in doing it in, but looking at it from a retarded business perspective

>planetside 1 not make money

>free to play make money

>planetside 2 free to play

>planetside 2 make money!

I wish whoever made Dust 514 had the mental capacity to see that game could have had a following on PC alongside its actual companion game, instead of sticking an online FPS on a platform that isn't PC. Maybe the competition would have nurtured better practices in both games.

I gave up playing PS2 after a month of trying it in 2012, seeing how it was focused on a p2w scheme I wanted no involvement in. It was alright fighting for the crown for a few hours but it just kept on swapping hands every other day when people went to sleep. Besides how shallow that was, it just wasn't a fun game without deeper mechanics.

>>15873898

That was 6 years ago you bellend.

>Planetside 2 dies because of retarded developers

>LOL LET'S JUST MAKE PLANETSIDE 2 BR

>AND THROW ALL THE SHITTIEST GAYMER TREND OF LATE IN

>AND MAYBE NOT FUCK THIS UP LIKE THE LAST GAME

ok… Let me know when it goes f2p.

>>15874042

>ok… Let me know when it goes f2p.

Hey just letting you know, it's f2p

>>15874061

Ah cool. I wonder if it'll blow up my PC like PS2 did.

>>15873898

The biggest problem was that anyone could spawn anything anywhere, so you never had to worry about getting the shit you needed to the place you needed it, and then to balance that they nerfed the shit you needed to the point that you didn't need it anyway.

>>15874090

Old enough to know Daybreak is just repackaging Battle Islands from PS1 and calling them "Battle Royale"

>>15874014

Yeah and I still remember it being a massive waste of time and not as fun as Tribes Ascend.

Then Ascend died and I've never had fun on an online fps since.

if wwew is down, i'm down to play immediately.

although, once they add CTF and team deathmatch, i'm buying the game regardless. I have long awaited the day for a Halo-aesthetic shooter for the PC, and even wwew wont stop me from buying it.

>>15874498

You shit eating faggot. You make me depressed.

>>15874630

have fun finding popped fights on PS2 :^)

although i will miss autism base shenanigans

>>15874639

>>15874630

OH WAIT YOU'RE ON PS4, I FEEL PITY FOR YOU omg

>>15872650

how did that one ps2 game have 250 players

>>15874646

Life is suffering.

Gonna lol forever if they bring back the bFRs

>>15875168

suddenly shoving all of the elements of Ps1 even if they don't belong anymore would be a better strategy than releasing this shit

>>15873840

>Consolecuck complaining about the PS4 version being a goddamn waste of time with no content and support

>Fuck you! I'm a consolecuck

I'd insult you, but you playing he inferior version and decrying anyone who insults it, while still playing it, makes you a sad cuck/

They should fix their current game (ps2) and undo the changes that one faggot forced on the community. Im not sure why people want yet ANOTHER battle royale game. Is this genre still alive? I thought it was a meme that had died

>>15872738

>dust 514

And now CCP is owned by Koreans, all of the talent left because of shitty management, and they're making a generic lobby shooter instead of a sequel to DUST514.

Horrible idea and here is why:

Planetside 2 has only one thing going for it, and that is massive strategic/tactical warfare with hundreds of players. That's it.

Its engine and netcode are horrible for any kind of competitive play. Clientside hit detection, long times to kill, weird unrealistically handling weapons make the game really not kind of game your average fps player will play. Now taking the only unique and positive thing about Planetside and removing it while chasing the flavor of the week gameplay styles is a recipe for disaster.

If you think that Arena has some good ideas, yeah, but those things are supposed to be in the original game, not the shitty spinoff. Things like lobbies, additional game modes, social aspect should have been added to the game long time ago. PS2 has a problem of people not being able to do anything more but just kill and kill people, it gets old unless you have a really good outfit and make your own fun. Adding more things would make the game more varied and better. People were asking for these kind of improvements for years.

However, Daybreak is one of those third rate companies who desperately chase trends in hopes of striking it big. But at least they didn't kill Planetside like HiRez did with the Tribes Ascend. In any way I don't see this succeeding at all, PS2 community is small and dedicated mostly because of faction memes and everyone pretty much know everyone, I'm not sure who is this game aimed at, especially since it costs 20 shekels.

>>15872591

>battleroyale

And its GONE. This is just stupid. Are they really serious about splintering the playerbase like this?

>>15877234

Couldn't hear you over the sound of you sucking on nigger dick cawk.

Fucking hell, just as I got a computer that could run the game properly and intended to get back to it they do this and inevitably divide the userbase.

>>15879396

With how over saturated the market is for battle royale games, nobody is going to buy this. Even more so if you consider the cheaper version is 40 dollars when not on sale.

>>15878388

they don't care about their current audience, they want to siphon a few 12 year olds from fortnite's audience.

>>15877838

>Its engine and netcode are horrible for any kind of competitive play. Clientside hit detection, long times to kill, weird unrealistically handling weapons make the game really not kind of game your average fps player will play.

Closed alpha tester here.

This was entirely different pre-release, really not sure why they changed it.

Originally the weapons themselves had near 100% precision. That is, where you pointed is where the round landed. The game would invoke "accuracy" by moving your viewpoint slightly after every round, based on the gun itself and how long you've been firing. This encouraged players manning machineguns to fire in bursts, else you'd be very quickly aiming vertical as the barrel climb got unmanageable. At some point they reworked the system so the aim-point would remain but the precision of the firearm would degrade, that is the bullets would leave crooked out of the barrel.

Not really sure why they did this, but overnight I went from being able to surgically remove a sniper with a prowler round to not being able to hit the broad side of a barn.

>>15880500

My best guess was that it was a weak attempt to curb cheaters with aimbots, since everything was clientside. However, the game was so clientside that you could actually edit the hitboxes in the game files and this would enable to you to hit anything no matter how bad your aim was. Guess which faction got banned the hardest for doing this? Vanu

>>15879267

Keep playing a shit game on the shit console version and paying Soynee for it, you Tranu-loving cockmunching faggot lord.

>>15881267

You ok lad? All that cock going through your arse must be awful sore, oh I see that's what is making you so tense. Cheer up lad, it might never happen.

>>15880500

>but overnight I went from being able to surgically remove a sniper with a prowler round to not being able to hit the broad side of a barn

It's no secret that the devs didn't want people using anti vehicle weapons against infantry or that they approached balancing in the laziest way possible.

>>15882114

How does one approach balancing when half your weapons are variants of each other, and the other half are not faction specific weaponry that completely walk over the whole point of factions having strengths or weaknesses?

>>15872738

>instead of sticking an online FPS on a platform that isn't PC.

pretty much every shooter that's not exclusive has higher numbers on consoles. bigger issue is that most console players have no fucking clue about eve, going with pc (and not being retarded to not see the gen shift coming) would've made more sense

>>15881906

>Sonygger entitlement

Hot damn, you're becoming an even bigger insufferable faggot.

>>15882244

Do consolefags even know what EVE is?

Honestly sometimes I think there are people trying their absolute hardest to fuck up something.

>>15882796

>taking the three weapon slot heavy suit

>forge gun for sniping people, vehicles, aircraft, God himself

>mass driver for spamming doorways

>flaylock for backup spamming into doorways

>get a pal to drop you an ammo box

As shit as the game was, there hasn't been anything like it since.

>>15882902

>get your buddies to pile ontop of your tank for china-style reactive armor, with guns

They made an even poorer decision than Daybreak has just made releasing it on a soon to be outdated console and never porting it as well as releasing it not on the PC which was where EVEs userbase was.

>>15882119

The first step would be to not make half a dozen weapons that do the same thing, but that wouldn't have sold so many smedlycoins.

>>15872591

I wonder if DBG has the same investors as Zenimax does. We'll see though, I went from "oh hell no" to "maybe, just maybe it'll be ok after watching Cyrious and other channels' videos on it.

>>15882206

What's that? You like the taste of bbc cawk in your mouth after it's been in your arse, that's pretty rank that.

>>15883433

And that harkens back to the point that it shouldn't have been F2P, but if it weren't F2P it probably would not have gotten so many newfags trying it in the first place, even with Total Biscuit shilling it.

>>15883434

They're owned by Columbus Nova who is owned by Renova Group. Renova is run by a Russian Jew who is currently under investigation for muh Trump Russia ties.

>>15874299

Are you me?

WWEW was the only reason I played that piece of shit game.

>>15872591

Who the fuck even owns daybreak games anymore? how the fuck is this company even still alive after h1z1 shitshow

>>15888343

>>15874299

The only reason people still play ps2 is because there's not a single other FPS like it out, and ps1 which was an actually good game is dead.

>>15874652

competent developers. Something that went extinct over a decade ago.
