PlanetSide 2: Death is no excuse

Fraser Brown, Editor

PlanetSide 2 is looking pretty damn nifty, and I can't wait to have something to mix up my free-to-play diet of Tribes and numerous RPGs. To show off the game at ChinaJoy 2012 SOE got Blur to make a CGI trailer, because nothing screams "here is this awesome game being worked on" than a trailer made by some other folk that shows none of the gameplay.

That said, it's a flashy trailer with lots of explosions, sliding off aircraft, shooting dudes, cloaking shields and drop ships. Blur seems to think they've nailed the "chaos" of battle, but I haven't seen anything like that in the game. Now I feel left out. 





Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)


"Not actual gameplay"
That'd be amazing if it was
this was a really cool thingy to look at. dont care bout the game yet tho
God damn, I can't wait to see this game when its servers are full. In my mind, I'll pretend it's the concurrent sister game to the amazing Tribes Ascend.

"F2P" its not an indication of quality nowadays. TA is the most fun I've had in a shooter in years.
While the trailer is nonsense, at least Sony are trying to put money into promoting this. Planetside was so far ahead of it's time that nothing has even come close until they finally got around to doing a sequel.
I cant wait for this and yea wedge i agree planetside was wayyy beyond its time
I guess I still do not like the idea of full motion videos that do not show gameplay. With that said this was a very cool video. Let us hope that the game carries on planetside 1s legacy and is not too homogenized.
So none on the Destructoid crew got in the Tech Tech the last month, lol. Anyways I can't say anything else at this time I am under gag order.
My only issue with Destructoid the lack of PC gaming reporters and you force me to drop my rock papers hotgun for my PC news.

Mega64: Are you ready for a scare story?

"Submitted for the approval of the Mega64 Midnight Society... my story is called... 'The Legend of Gameface!'" Mega64 has a special "scare story" for y'all this Halloween. At seven and a half minutes in length, it's one of the group's longer videos in quite a while, but I enjoyed every second of it, "Shyamalan twist" ending and all.
