    Planetside

    New game coming out which is boasting to be the first Massive Multiplayer Online First person shooter (MMOFPS). Although it's only 3000 to a server and 400 to a zone so it's pretty small.

    Looks good

    Looks fun, I wish the interviewer had nailed him with how many people could be simultaneously on-screen at a time; like what do you do when 40 people gang up and go on a hunt?

    Do think we will ever have to pay for on line gaming??


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,264 ✭✭✭✭Hobbes


    You will probably have to pay for this (Made by the same people who make Everquest, so $ 10 a month).

    As to how many people can be on screen at one time I would guess if it's 400 to a zone, then the max would be 400.

    surely there's a more relevant board for posts such as these?

    Surely u're fps will be gah with 400 ppl's on screen at once, and surely no hpb could play with having to receive information from 400 ppl's smile.gif


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,264 ✭✭✭✭Hobbes


    yea Damo we could move it to the games board if you like, just seeing as this is the main FPS board I thought it was a bit more apt.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,207 ✭✭✭MindPhuck


    Damo could have a point by it being on a different board, but then again, we would have to make up a complete board called 'MOANERS' to put everything damo posts into it!

    Problem is there are to many boards now, most ppl only read about 2 or three.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,074 ✭✭✭damo


    Hobbz: you seem a bit defensive there, so total soz if you took offence, but i feel compelled to speak out when i see drivel such as this posted to the quake board

    MP: perhaps a board named 'UBER-TROLLZ' would be more appropriate!! HEHE wink.gifwink.gif

    I think your ma should be closed.

    HeHe, I had a mad Q2 Lan the other night and thought I would check out the Quake board and see what I was missing. I didn't realise what fun I was missing on the other boards smile.gif

    /me must remember to look around them more often... :-)

    Yeah great point, Rev. Great point.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,346 ✭✭✭Rev Hellfire


    Well that put me in my place! If the pillar of the community that is Vorosha has spoken who am I to disagree.

    More boards, please, lots more.

    I am nothing if not surrounded.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,039 ✭✭✭Vorosha


    Your masochistic tendancies baffle me, Rev. Baffle me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,039 ✭✭✭Vorosha


    I think that MMORPG looks a little too like Bungie's HALO for comfort. Know what I mean doods?
