Today Sony announced they will be having some info come out this week mainly focused on the art direction of SOE's next MMOFPS Planetside 2(check out the incredibly short trailer)
The latest news on PlanetSide 2 art will be given by Senior Art Director Tramell Isaac, who was also the art director for the original Planetside.
What was Planetside?
I'll have to refer you to the two videos below as words will fail me at how fun and awesome the game was. Remember planetside has No NPCs, every name on the screen is a live person playing in the battle, every tank, plane, and big freaking robot are all people, some with multi people (pilot and gunners, or transport)
**Keep in mind when looking at the graphics the game came out in 2003!** But game play knows know age.
Video one: The fan made we are awesome kinda video
Video two: A time lapse of a single base among hundreds in a persistent open world.
