Eh... completely different styles of game. Borderlands was basically just diablo the fps. Planetside is pretty different.
I dunno, I think expanding the Planetside model (as I understand it - I missed it the first go 'round but won't miss a sequel) would work much better for an MMO. Give some customization options and take a few notes from how TF2 handles hats and how CoD handles gun customization and go for it.Artadius said:
Borderlands seems far more suited to expanding in a different direction, far more PvE with 4-6 players than massive PvP.

So they have DC Universe Online, Planetside and The Agency launching in the same year.

Well, The Agency is due until late 2011. That's what they recently mentioned. Hopefully they won't botch it like they did with DCUO.

The Agency.
They also have Free Realms PS3 on the go too.
I wouldn't be surprised to see one of these MMO's appear on the PSP2 if it has a persistent internet connection as an option. They aren't graphically intensive.

It resurfaced at E3. They gave it a pretty big makeover visually.
I assume the reason was that one was usueless solo, it's not like many MMOs where there were some things you couldn't do without a group, you basically can't do anything outside a group in Planetside. I also figure a lot of people got turned off if during their experience they were getting hammered by the other side, it could get pretty frustrating when your side was inept and the other side was unstoppable.Deadly said:
But it was an awesome game, I'd be down for trying a sequel.

Planetside was great, Im going to jump into the next one day one, hopefully beta it again if they have one going. But at its best the game was great. Get a hundred or more people from at least 2 sides fighting over a base and it was just so fucking fun.
Jump in a vehicle, man the gun, suicide run through the base mowing people down, get mobbed and destroyed
....respawn
Jump into a large ass Galaxy dropship and skydive down on top of the base with 7 others, hack into the building and mow unsuspecting (and sometimes afk) people down in the halls, get overrun near their spawn room, and get destroyed
...respawn
Go to your nearest base to the fight and jump in a 1 man aircraft, fly back to the fight and blast people inside their base running around with fucking missles...Draw the attention of a few people with anti air skills, get destroyed.
...respawn
Put on a stealth suit....run into their base and assassinate their snipers on the walls of the base. Mistake some guy holding a fucking chaingun as a sniper, get destroyed....
..respawn
On and on and on. That game was so fucking fun initially. The more layers they added the less fun it got to me, especially when the population nosedove. But at its peak I fucking loved it. I would play for hours without even joining any groups or anything to help coordinate actually WINNING the battle we were fighting. I just didnt give a shit, I was content jumping in and fighting randomly. Their instant action button was such a cool idea too. Log in, hit the instant action button and get drop shipped right on top of wherever theres a fight going on in game :lol :lol

I really liked Planetside. I started playing in the early beta and by the time it released I really felt like I had seen every thing the game had to offer. So I didn't play too long beyond release. Really looking forward to PS2 though. Weird that is is supposedly coming so soon and no media or anything has been released on it though...
