Moments ago, SOE president John Smedley announced the release date for PlanetSide 2 during the keynote address of the SOE fan gathering, SOELive. PlanetSide 2 will launch on November 20, 2012. Additional PS2 highlights from the keynote address:

Definitely too soon. The game has some serious issues at the moment. Issues that I highly doubt will be corrected by the 20th of next month. Bad move imho.

CB is awesome, but I agree too soon. No need to rush. There are so many little things in a FPS let alone an FPS of this size and scale. It can release on 11/20, but I think it would be better servered with more time balancing all the weapons and stuff.

It's a sign that the MMO industry is dying, IMO. They care more about making the Christmas sales than putting out a good game that people will subscribe to. There are so many games on the market that you don't see people playing the same game for years anymore.

I too agree that the PS2 launch will be too soon.
Don't get me wrong, the beta feels quite polished and is extremely fun to play 90% of the time (When patches like the last one don't break everything =P), but they've still got a LOT of work to do before it could even be considered ready for launch anytime this year.
*shrugs* I'll just cross my fingers and pray to the MMO gods that pushing EQ:N back will give them more resources to focus on producing the quality game that they promise by that time. "I am a biotic god! I think things... and they happen!"

ill paraphrase from what i said earlier:
weighing the pros and cons, its a no win situation unless they push the release date back to at least 5 more months or more.
HOWEVER.. 1. competition is lukewarm when going against planetside 2, what else is there? ww2online ? - showing its age planetside1? - old vets like me can bark all day about nostalgia, but they are going to put that old dog to sleep once ps2 hits firefall? - openworld pve with instance pvp? dust514? - ps3, consoles tribes? - solid game but the numbers arent there Tribes Universe? - when was the last time this game blipped on the radar? Global Agenda? - game is showing its age and doesnt have the numbers/scale against said competition APB? - ..........APB?? Defiance? -- game probably will be fun, but its getting the red head step child treatment by the press (see planetside 1) Line of Defense? -- too much butt hurt, old scars, lack of budget and drama.
2. Marketing is much bigger compare to the first planetside Even if the launch some how..in some miracle fashion that it Bombs bigger than SWTOR and DarkFall combined..Smedley will milk PS2 just so he can get the Forgelight data , and get it ready for his baby Everquest Next, im certain he'll do just enough hyping and funding just for that. 3. Content , playerstudio content and game content Content for planetside 2 will help move the game and mitigate some of the bad launch taste. new continents, player owned bases -- ya, the self explaintory "it should of been there at launch" will be screamed at the highest mountain but cant have everything.
Overall, im already getting my canned goods and shotgun shells for the coming bad launch armageddon that will hit Ps2, but me personally from what i have played in beta i will enjoy every bit of it, and if the lack of competition and continued SOE support pushes the game forward, then in the long run planetside 2 will be around for a while. |

I am pretty excited about this game. Been playing beta for a while. Not as enthused about some of the more recent changes (base capture mechanics particularly) but I can get by on that. While I think the game is "close" to being ready I am concerned it is not fully balanced as of today. Perhaps things will change in the coming weeks that changes that thought. Regardless, I will be there. Let's party like it is 1863! |

PS2 vs Darkfall UW I am gonna choose DF:UW, definetly
PS: By the way, it is the first time that 2 MMOs launch on the same day? Zenimax.......players want Skyrim Online. They do NOT want WOWTES |

They need to call in starship troopers to squash the bugs to have any chance of a smooth ride at launch.
As for DF:UW, i have no idea how that will fare, since there has no been real beta with mass players. PS2 however has the advantage of having had thousands already playing, giving feedback and data being gathered, so PS2 will be where i go.

I thought PS2 would be pushed back to Jan or Feb next year with recent big changes said to be coming, and hint of Cont Locks. That's a lot of work for them to crunch in the new big changes test them, then launch. Ah well, Nov 20th it is then, I've had good performance with the game since playing in the beta for the last 3 months. I'm all good to Alpha squad all the lagging 4 year old Pc users on launch day and get some nice cert points.

I think they have set themselves up with an unrealistic date. This is going to be a rough launch, and folks are going to remember that and use it as talking points for the next few years. Hey it is SOE, and they are know for making questionable choices. |
