Planetside

I would love to see a new, better version of PS! I loved the old PS, but had a lot of trouble with its non-streamlined 3d engine. It had some of the best gameplay I've ever had in an MMO. Equally fun and frustrating: can't get better than that.

same here i really loved PS bak in the days and it still iching for gettign to play it again

i would surely play the PS2 (or at least newer improved version) caus this game is still one of a kind to me but SOE has to wake up once and grab it all togeter..

btw does it still exist ?? caus the site isnt working ???

I've been hoping for years that PS would just die out and SOE'd sell it off to some indie company. Then we'd see the kind of marketing to get the numbers up, the kind of upgrading to make it technically competitive (compatibility, FPS, netcode and graphics), and the kind of new gameplay and content to put it on the front page of this site for another 5 years.

So put my vote in for the same game with all of the above features. If you want to call it PS2, that's fine with me :)

this game died due to the players, but i loved it. it has a great background with the future fps thing, and an updated PS with more weps, vehs, better graphics etc... would make it great... this is on my wishlist:)

Well, there has been a rumor going around that SOE would be selling the rights to PS, and I've been trying to get a confirmation from them because I have a start-up company and a financial backer who have all played many years of PS and love it. If PS were to be for sale, and if we were to buy it, a graphics engine overhaul is the first thing on our list.

Seriously!  That would be so sweet!

Don't I know it. Just bumping the game DX9 would be amazing. The fact that the system requirements are only a 1GHz PIII and a GeForce2 series card or better with 64MB of video RAM shows its age. If we did buy PS, we'd make sure those requirements went up to at least Geforce 5 Series and Radeon 9k series (but in a good way ya know). And no PIIIs allowed. We would also try to actually utilize the C2D technology instead of just ignoring the second core (C2D players actually lag compared to >3GHz P4 users because only one core actually counts). And best of all, because the game already exists, there would be the option of developing the new engine on the side without worrying about losing money by not having it done. So the game would re-release with the new engines when they were ready, not when some publisher said they needed to ship. The game would be so much better if SOE just sold it.

You know what my longest running subscription was for?   Planetside!  3.5+ years!  God I seriously loved that game.
