Honestly the fact that this game even still exists at all, and is continuing to get attention from both players and devs, is more than I was expecting 12 years on. I'm just happy to see the game still exist. One day, the severs will shut down for the last time. and that will be a very very sad day. but that hasn't happened yet, and I am very grateful for that. While we all may not agree on what the game should be, I think we can all agree that there's nothing else like Planetside 2.

PlanetSide never dies. It just respawns. XD

Just brough 3 new players into planetside 2, they're loving the game and surprised they never even heard of it. People who are down about the game losing pop or dying, be a part of the solution, bring people into the game and just play it. There's really nothing like it out there. All the game needs is players to make it feel alive and fun for everyone.

I saw the roadmap drop, and I am semi-hopeful that this game may get some form of a revival.

I do hope the new developers take the game further. Toadman Interactive (the development team that has been Hired, THEY DO NOT OWN THE IP) has some good games under their belt.

As someone who came back to PS2 for the 100th time. It's always good to come back and just have a solid time with this game.

After BBR I have definitely grown to appreciate this games consistent gameplay formula.

Glad this game is still running.

[ProjectPhysX]

This is excellent news. PS2 is the one game I still actively play a decade later. I want PS2 to continue its unmatched qualities in regards of fun gameplay, huge scale and almost total lack of bugs. See you all in Auraxis!

[nolandderlugner]

They should do a full graphic revamp or do a full engine port and people would sawm in masses

[AlexArkain]

I honestly still think one major issue is the fact there is almost zero advertisements for planetside. In the 9 years I have played I have only seen one singular ad for planetside. I get advertisement costs money but still wouldn't it be a fast and easy option to bring in new players. In turn that would get more players in the game and hopefully spending money.

Planetside 2 is over 10 years old....it's time for Planetside 3. Let the game rest man.

[ChaiTea]

I've been playing this game for most of my teenage years and now, after the success of Helldivers 2, I wish more people got to know this game. It was so well polished for its age ngl

[chuggynation]

BRuh back when the PS4 was fresh and there weren't many games there was PS2, some of the most insane battles I've ever seen. Battles with atleast 750+ players in 1 fight, completely out of this world.

Personally I'm very hopeful. Wrel and his team were very focused on big scale content updates but in my opinion that's not what the game needs in its current state.

I'm hoping Toadman Interactive takes their time to start fixing smaller and less flashy things like infantry balance and base designs so we get more stable and fair fights. All we can do for now is just wait and see if they deliver on their promises of improving the core gameplay tbh

[LauraTons]

I used to play this game a while back as a new player. could you do a "should you play planetside in 2024?" video? :o

[nickanmahian]

Okay yeah only 3 major content updates planned for the year but...if they're targeting things that have been actual points of concern for players, and done thoughtfully, I think they'll go much further in boosting activity than the "massive additions" that Wrel and RPG had been trying to force on us for the past few years, additions that almost no one was asking for.

Don't forget, you just made a video a little while back outlining the numbers that show how the most successful update since escalation was the one where mostly, they just rebalanced guns and gave them some new attachments. Little stuff isn't little when it's what we've actually been looking for.

[sneakyguy]

I think shifting the focus to improving existing content will make a huge difference.
How base fights are conducted, lattices, alert rotations, etc, can all end up making a big difference. The graphics are already great for a game of this kind, and there is no real need for a planetside 3 as of yet.
For example, oshur and construction were both, once upon a time, "all the hype" and "may be the thing that saves planetside", etc. But at the end of the day, improving the fights, and increasing alerts (+ more alerts on limited tiles for maximum carnage) is enough for now.
Another vehicle or class would be neat

i’m in the timeline where PS2 inevitably dies on console 😢

[browniesbytes]

Every time I see new PS2 stuff I think of that cow from me myself and Irene that gets shot in the head 8 times but somehow pull through….

[milvusmc]

I just started playing PlanetSide but its really hard to come into it especially because i haven't played much shooters before. But it still is really fun.

[razalin]

What's the best way of telling how many people are actually still online playing it? The Steam database basically says the game is dying, <1000 daily, or is this accurate? I would love to see this game revitalized again and get a new generation of players come on board, as it IS a great game. Either that or just make Planetside 3 and move on. Either way, it would be a win-win.
