The New Planeshift

[Zene]

Does anyone else like the idea of Planeshift becoming a First Person Action Game?
Opinions on whether or not it should change are welcome, although personally I\'m not very fond of the idea. The first or third person fantasy adventure appealed to me more than this.

I\'m shocked!  So shocked! :baby:

I think a scifi game will be much better.  Cooler weapons and cooler music would rule.  I\'m still trying to convince Talad about PvP also--since that makes more sense with SciFi anyway...

Do you guys want it to be PvP also?

If the Devs think this is funny right now... its not. I hope its just a siiiiick joke.

Its past 12pm everywhere around the globe as far as i can tell... I am starting to get worried... lol  

[dfryer]

pvp would rule!  u can lvl up more! read the pvp forum there is lots of good ideas!!!

so instead of a giant stalagmite or whatever, the new planeshift is in space? or is it on a planet??!

[Zephyrus]

Its in a galaxy, you can pilot different ships like X2/elite, but you can also land on any planet and kill who ever, megacide PvP, INFACT! lets just have nuclear weapons that home in on newbies!... well thats the way it should work in my mind

8o  8o  it\'s the game I always dreamed of!  

(Well, actually, I *am* a sucker for a good opensource Elite-style game,  anyone here checked out Vegastrike at vegastrike.sourceforge.net?  Seems to be fairly well-developed, but the user interface is a little dodgy and it\'s not really multiplayer)


Can I have a show of hands for a psionic DJ class which uses a combination of the Force and techno to control legions of brainwashed ravers?

[Armenelos]

I hate you all...

Well I think A Science-Fiction game can be cool but I hope the Kran will not be really having missile on his shoulder because its quite dangerous! I think a rocket-Launcher merge with an Ak47 will be better !!!
Im really suprised of this radical Change !!

Im really asking myself if there will be having skill or job in the game in not very familliar with First person action game.

[Wedge]

The idea is all wrong.  They need to have 3rd person action too, coz\' that works better for ship to ship and laser-sword to laser-sword action!

[Darkalfx]

I agree with that but I think a game where you can choose if you want a 3rd person or a first person view is better because YOU CHOOSE

[Wedge]

Yes of course, it\'s a toggle parameter for different combat modes.

Combat suits for players would be cool too, so you could have a jetpack, or rocketboots to speed over the ground.  Heheheh laser-sword fight with jetpack and rocketboots, that would rule.

What most of you don\'t realize is that Planeshift is at a very early point in development (MB is pre-alpha, after all).  While the meaning of the various release stages differs from person to person, a pre-alpha tech demo, such as the MB psclient, is meant to test and demonstrate the engine itself.  The quests and content are mainly for our entertainment.  So, if the devs can go in any direction from this point as we have barely been introduced to the setting as it is.  Not saying I believe this, but you have no reason to complain if it is indeed true.

By the way, the encoding on that video was very bad... +2MB for 2 seconds? Entertaining though...

Bah! 3rd person is anti-immersive!
