I just looked him up. Based on his background, he looks like he'd cost a fortune, haha.

I'll probably have a million questions to ask once we actually see something, but for now it's 100 percent speculation. They're not even wanting to say who the composer is at this point. A good OST can really bring everything in and I'd like to see who's scoring it. Jeremy Soule does some pretty...

I don't think there's much of a question that it'll be designed around third person. People like seeing their armor sets and given that there will be a store with SOE and player created cloaks, armors, etc., it'd be cutting out a large chunk of how they'll be making money with EQ Next if they go...

Two more "EQ Next is a sandbox, not a theme park" tweets from Smedley: @j_smedley pic.twitter.com/7vA0yRntlq @j_smedley pic.twitter.com/3DgvL7qbAe Just reveal the game, please.

It depends on scalability. It uses the same engine as PS2, which I don't find very well optimized. I can blaze it, but I just built my PC. They need to move that armor on the second screen and give us a glance at that map. Hopefully Kunark will be there day one, but I'm betting against it.

Sorry for the double attachment, actively trying to unstupid that. Edit: OK, done. Also, I need to see it in a color that isn't grey and more grey but I like it. It's not the three polygon WoW characters but isn't going for hyper realism. Hopefully they don't get too extreme with the armor sets.

Picture to go with that tweet, which gives a hint at the art direction.

I think it'd be OK, no way I'd retype all that. You could always edit your other post to "save us Blizzard!" or something.

Copy+C Copy+V, it warps text over via magic. I learned that on the Internet.

It's where you put field mice in a ball and throw them at people.

I know it'll probably be met with "lol never trust SOE" but I got a response from Dave Georgeson: "@gogojira_ EQ Next will not be seen at E3. This does not mean that I'm not working my butt off for the show. After all..."franchise"." @gogojira_ I confirm. We will debut EQ Next at SOE Live...

It's not about trust, it's about logic. "Mr. SOE, please show off your snazzy busted as shit EQN for PS4 instead of highlighting a port well in development," Kaz said, delusional as fuck.

The underline isn't actually part of the image but the point still stands. People are overestimating what this E3 means for EQ Next. The game will debut at SOE Live, it'll be given a proper title and a launch window that will probably land at the end of next year. It'll still have an E3 to show...

I don't hate the idea of a clean UI and lack of clutter, but this dude sounds like he's talking out of his ass to try and please everyone while saying nothing appealing to anyone. I'm so tired of the "everyone is a hero this is your story!!!" shit. When I want to play a hero and weave through a...

Aside from Smedley taking a flight to your house, shaking you and screaming "the motherfucking debut ain't happening until SOE Live," I'm not sure how much clearer you can get.

I killed that fucker the other day when I passed by. It's an obligation. That bastard killed my original character (paladin) repeatedly when I was a newb. Edit: Nah, I'm right. Maybe E3 2014? Sony's console side doesn't bank the system on SOE titles, but PlanetSide 2 will be a nice highlight...

It's on the SOE Live page spelled out: August 2 at 11 a.m. Anyone anticipating anything regarding EQ Next at E3 is going to be disappointed. Between the Xbox One and PS4, there should be a million other things to keep people occupied until then.

I won't be surprised if it happens, but it'll be a post PC launch thing and I wouldn't hold out hope for anything non-PS2 related at E3.

No chance. Best case scenario for people wanting this thing on PS4 is a launch a year or two after the PC release. Considering all this "ultimate sandbox talk" and the player studio, it's hard to imagine any console ever being open enough to support a design. Do either PS2 or DCUO have the...

This and DCUO are coming to PS4. http://ign.com/articles/2013/06/05/d...-playstation-4

Ridiculously good icon choice. If only SE would make a proper Chrono Trigger 2 (Cross is good, but I'm talking actual CT2), but they're too busy making Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts spin-offs (and focusing on iOS crap).

I just beat Metal Gear Rising in about two sittings. It's nothing amazing, but it's stupid fun and might be a good one to play if you're in a slump because it's all of 5 to 6 hours long. Some of the story is funny and some of it's atrocious when it tries to take itself serious. It's not a Metal...

Chrono Trigger still makes my hearth throb. Frog's theme is amazing.

The company is being ran into the ground so yeah, eventually you have to worry about making a profit before your company tanks. This ain't exactly the Squaresoft of the SNES era and Yoichi Wada got the boot after shitting up the company. Trying to breathe life into a corpse is a noble effort...

Have they released any financial details on this rerelease? Square-Enix is flailing right now and this fucker right here (FFXIV as a whole) has been such a monetary burden. I still find it hard to believe they're dumping so many resources into a game that came out the gate with two broken ankles...

Artwork looks completely different from the generic PS2 fantasy art and file names reference SOE Live, Grindhoof and Askelon which are two EQ references. It's just decal stuff but it's definitely EQ related (be it Next or otherwise).

This game feels really cheaply made. I thought it looked decent graphically until I got in game and it looks pretty bad. I got stuck in a elevator thing for like three days because I couldn't be bothered to figure out a /stuck command. Once I did and got unstuck, I never logged back in.

Yeah, I think everyone knows that these are in PlanetSide 2. They seem to be based on EQ Next art decals, which is why people care.

Not the first person (ha) on this board to defend playing Skyrim in third person, but I still find it shocking that anyone can tolerate it beyond looking at new armor. It's not Oblivion levels of shit, but it's still a nice pile.

Awesome post and I was nodding along with many of your points. One thing referenced here that I didn't enjoy in Rift was the ability to hot swap from within an archetype to a healer or a dps or a tank. Maybe it's that I sucked and lacked the time invested to not suck, but despite it being my...

For being so invested in the social aspect of an MMO, one post sure does prove how socially inept that person is. I get the idea of how instances upon instances can break apart a community (any appeal SWTOR had for me was killed with how extreme it is), but the idea of going LFG for hours on end...

Failure from a certain perspective like, say, the eyes of Blizzard fans who've seen their success (critically and commercially) in the past. Diablo 3 has been a tale of many fuck ups (good luck even playing solo on launch day), but it still sold more than most studios dream of. Who knows how...

Building an MMO has to be such an enormous pain in the ass, especially with how many failures are on the market right now. You've got to create a product that doesn't feel stale by the time you launch five to seven years after planning begins, invest massive amounts of money into a product that...

I'd cross my fingers that Camelot Unchained ever actually releases. I'm still waiting on the three or four projects I backed when KS peaked in popularity to release and they're all small projects. Titan would sooner be impacted by Pathfinder Online (lol).

Titan not being there will be a bigger story than Titan being there? Doubtful, but I don't think it's the story Blizzard wants to tell either way. It'll be left to people speculating on what the shit is going on with the project.

PoE was mostly particle effects from what I saw, which was OK by me. Nice armor sets, for me at least, are integral to my enjoyment of MMOs -- it's the sort of prestige element that can show off accomplishments (even simple particle effects can be impactful). At the same time, purely cosmetic...

Still digging, but I didfind this quotefrom Blizzard COO Paul Sams in 2011 which is sort of funny considering this news: I guess not everyone shared his joy. Obviously the game has been in a playable state for at least a couple of years now so development must have gone awry fast.

Free weekend for anyone who owns the game. I'll probably log in just to peak around before realizing I have no fucking clue what to do anymore (I'm sure my skills will have been reset) and lack the care factor to figure it out.

I think the idea there might be that PlanetSide 2 isn't necessarily something to fear (especially years after launch), and I say this as someone who actually enjoys it. PS2 doesn't have the intimidation factor of, say, Call of Duty where competitors actively avoid launching in its path. Maybe...

I forgot about that game, but that's pretty laughable, too. It's likely that they're reevaluating Titan because it's yet another MMO in a sea of the same old shit, but they're going to push forward with a game in a genre that's way too crowded. I know DOTA basically spawned the whole genre, but...
