PlanetSide 2

[Thrik]

Just highlighting that (at bloody last) it's been released for the PlayStation 4. I haven't spent much time with it, but it seems reasonably solid and it remains the only game really doing this kind of thing — which to an extent makes up for its various shortcomings, because holy shit some of the moments in this game are great.

I suspect that Battlefront is going to refine a lot of this into a more condensed but extremely fun shooter much like Battlefield 2142 did with PlanetSide, but it's a good stopgap for those who didn't play the PC version, like, years ago.

Because it's brand new on PS4 to an audience that's never experienced a game like this there's a pretty cool sense of excitement to it all right now, although how many people are actually on board I have no idea. Still, been no shortage of action for me so far and apparently the servers are getting wrecked.

Here is an assortment of terrible footage I captured using the handy capture button:

You might catch me playing on one of the EU servers if you add RyanJW to PSN.

I played a good bit of PS1 and the strength/weakness balance seems the same here. Second to second shooting is bland as hell because of lag/gun feeling but the macro scale battles and pushes can be epic as hell (running in a group of 20-30 troops is fucking amazeballs).
