YAY TR!

Anyone know when this is going into beta?  I did beta for the original so really looking forward to this as the original was incredible for its time.

Great video, wonderful graphics. I just hope they optimize it enough to work well in large fights.

Seeing as the engine has been built from scratch especially for this i imagine it will be able to handle the large number of players.  All the footage from e3 was with 200+ people online at once and they have done many tests with simulated players.  Their netcode has been a primary focus, however i do expect it ill be hardware heavy and a newish machine will probably be required.  If so i'll be getting one

On the subject of betas, Sony Online Entertainment has released a new producer's letter that spells out who will be accessing its new MMOFPS initially. As expected, PlanetSide vets and other gamers who have obtained third-party testing codes will get to fight first.

 Producer Josh Hackney also says that this Sunday (July 1st) is PlanetSide day. To celebrate, SOE is awarding former PlanetSide fraggers with 30 days of free game time. If you've ever had an active PlanetSide subscription, come back to Auraxis on the company dime and hone your skills while you wait for your beta invite. Hackney also says that this month's E3 demo was the first of many PlanetSide 2 appearances slated for the summer

Sheesh. I'll need a new PC asap.

My station says I have an inactive Planetside 2 account, so I'm hopeful this means beta.

[Casimir]

Yes mate its the same for me, and I'm one of the PC Gamer magazine beta keys.  So hopefully i'll be in on the first or second round of beta keys!
