HomeLan Fed's PlanetSide
Press Event Report is online, describing a bit of what went on at a recent
unveiling of SOE's upcoming MMOFPS. Included are bits on a couple of things that
have not been part of the game's beta testing to this point, for instance:
"One of the new additions has been VoiceIP support and we got a demo of
that at the PlanetSide press event. Anyone with a microphone will now be able to
give voice orders to his or her squad as well as listen to what other squad
members have to say. To have this system in place out of the box when the final
game is released should be a welcome addition for players who are tired of
punching keyboards for text chat."
I missed your part about new content always being promised but always delivered in paid expansion packs.
Touche'.
This is a disturbing trend I've yet to see be bunked except in the case of Neocron. They've added TONS of stuff since release that I've seen (I don't play anymore, but I still follow it out of curiosity) and it all comes from those monthly fees. However it is the exception to the rule, and knowing SOE I doubt PS will be another exception despite my confidence in the dev. team. It'll boil down to a management decision and while I think they'll fight tooth and nail to deny it, it won't happen.
