Sony Online Entertainment appears to gearing up for its Vegas Fan Faire. Running from July 7th and ending on the 9th, the live event coincidentally runs into SOE’s countdown timer for the much-anticipated PlanetSide 2, set to expire sometime this Friday. We know that the title has been in development for some time, but that’s just about it.
Is it still an MMO FPS? Can we expect a PlayStation 3 version of Planetside 2? Will it be free-to-play?  We hope the game’s official unveiling will act as a comprehensive outline of what’s to come and will not just amount to a cryptic teaser trailer or dash of concept art. When the original title launched exclusively on the PC back in 2003 it wasn’t exactly gaming history in the making, though it did manage to garner an impressive, dedicated following, who no doubt have the countdown timer tabbed for Friday’s big reveal.

I confess I’ve never even heard of this. I guess I’ll find out more on Friday. If it’s free-to-play then I will certainly give it a go.

Likewise, and that always slightly worries me a bit.

* likewise to the never hearing about it. Would not be worried if it was free to play :P

My thanks :)
It looks like it could be pretty decent. Please be free-to-play! *crosses fingers*

I used to play it back in the days of Battlefield 1942 so must have been about 2002 , it was a pretty impressive achievement .

Not my type of game so it doesn’t matter if it’s free or not I won’t be playing it.

The original was amazing, and it’s still a great concept, but whether or not it can hold its own nowadays is uncertain.
