Halo Killer!!

From Ps2web.com:

First Screens: PlanetSide on PS2

Seldomly you see a first person shooter that makes Red Faction look like dirt.

March 27, 2001
 

In your face, Microsoft!  
 
Publisher: Sony Computer Ent.  
Developer: 989 Studios  
Genre: FPS  

Sony\'s Online division has long been planning their supposed Halo-killing shooter, PlanetSide. As it looks, PlanetSide is graphically competitive with Halo and as it stands, looks even better; however, only time will tell. Just think of this as Sony\'s way of saying "screw you" to Microsoft. A key attribute to PlanetSide is its online play capabilities and amazing graphics. In fact, PlanetSide is allegedly Sony\'s showcase for the PS2\'s online potential. As you can probably figure out, the game will not be coming to Microsoft\'s Xbox, or commonly known as "the console that steals everyone elses games", because Sony is developing PlanetSide themselves.
Now for some game info: In PlanetSide, you\'ll be able to play on the side of one of three empires in order to take over the world, represented by a series of continents and regions. Fragging will be unique as every frag will permanently affect the battlefield\'s terrain, even after an online game. Some empires will burgeon during the course of the game while the other empires will shrivel. Despite all the other good stuff, online play will be the greatest attribute of this game in the end.

What we\'re looking at is a high-quality FPS which, after you see the screenshots, will be a AAA title in your eyes. Check \'em out.

Here they are!!!














It is sure looking pretty damn good!!!!  Online PLAY!!! YESSSS!!

I agree this game looks amazing!  This game looks to be pushing the power of the ps2!  This game will be a reason to get internet play.  Too much of my money is being spent on the ps2.  I am tired of it! ;)

Well I\'m not so sure these are PS2 shots, and I have yet to hear any official announcement of Planetside for the PS2

However the game is being made by Verant Interactive who is a Sony 1st party developer. So a PS2 version seems almost inevitable


WHo knows it would be sweet if SOny unveiled this in some for for the PS2 at E3 but I\'m not banking on it

This sort of one-up-manship is stupid. A Halo killer, a Zelda Killer, a Goldeneye Killer. Are they ever? Nope. How many times have you read "Gran Turismo killer?" Has it happened? Nope.

LOL! Oh good lord this topic is hilarious! A Halo killer being developed by 989? Ooohhh nooo.

Nah forget that. 989 has literally no talent but there is still a small chance that they could pull it off...haha who am I kidding? :D

Well, these shots are simply amazing. I\'m actually impressed. Those graphics look gorgeous. I haven\'t seen a PS2 game that looks this good yet...

Hey maybe they have been spending all their time doing this game, so their sports games are horrible.  Just a thought.  BTW, haven\'t you heard the 42nd time is a charm? :)

Perhaps 989 Studios have finally released the talented programmers who made Syphon Filter 1 & 2 from their jail cells.

Funny that it\'s being labelled as a \'Halo killer\' when Halo is still several months away from being finished and fully playable.

989 Studios IS NOT DEVELOPING PLANETSIDE

Everyone with half a brain knows its Verant Interactive

I think 989 might be publishing it though


So lets snap out of it already with the trash the thread with BS


and these I\'m almost 99% sure are not PS2 shots

Just like ddaryl said, it\'s Verant, not 989 Studios. And those are not PS2 shots, those are shots for the PC.

I thought all the screenshots were from the PC version.
But if the PS.2 version will be similar,I\'ll be very happy.
I recently discovered that my ass is the key to the universe.....now I must fight to protect my ass from those who might abuse it!!!

Well why does ps2web.com say that it is being developed by 989? Huh strange.  I think the ps2 will be able to hammer those graphics out!

My bad, I just read the post, and saw according to ps2web that it was being developed by 989 Studios.
