Huh. We'll see how it turns out, but that big SOE logo doesn't give me much confidence.

@Hitchenson If you'd bought a copy of the April PC Gamer you'd already have a key.

Ah, this is the stuff from GDC. That wasn't a wraith, that was a Magrider of the glorious Vanu Sovereignty, the only empire worth playing. Where's my Scythe footage, guys. I wanna know how the hoverplane works.

did you get a card or something? That's bullshit because the April issue was where I switched over from the magazine to the kindle edition. It's just basically a PDF. FUCK!

I'm skeptical of low-latency MMO shooter part working out well. I also don't trust SOE to not cornhole the whole thing in some misguided blunder-patch. I'm also looking forward to being wrong and playing an awesome massive sci-fi shooter.

It was printed in the magazine, but yeah, digital copies didn't get a code.

If you were a subscriber on original Planetside you should get priority as well. Not sure if that's day-one priority like the PC Gamer codes if just priority over random emailers.

i liked how that tank (or was it a armored carrier) point blank blasted a soldier from 5 feet and instead of exploding into smithereens, he just slumped down and kinda fell on his but slowly while bathed in the glorious rays of sunset shimmering through the dust.

It's nice to see that MMOs like this and eve are able to break out of that assumption that MMO's usually have shitty graphics. I will have to keep an eye on this, it could be cool.

Tell the truth, Brad. How excited are you and the other GB crew for PS2? This trailer's gotta tickle at least SOME of those gaming itches for you. And I remember hearing Jeff say on an old Bombcast that he really liked the original, even if it was totally busted.

It is probably going to be a T-rated game, after all. No gibbing in that sort of thing, and that's not what PS is about, really.

Too late at this point. Took me many, many store trips a week or two ago to find it. Most already have the May issue.

Yeah, Sony is relaunching the PS2, being their most successful console to date.

I'm interested, and a lot of stuff hasn't been done this well before but I'm not quite satisfied with what I've seen so far. Might just be me. Anyway there's a long road still.

Well, it is an alpha build you know. The sound effects sounded pretty pedestrian too, but it's very early. I think they're less concerned with polished aesthetics at this point in production.

Agree on the first point, I should look into doing the second. Because PlanetSide, yay!

Also, way too much Smurf-propaganda in this vid!
