Senior Artist Roel Jovellano walks us through the process of creating a large weapon prototype for Sony Online Entertainment's upcoming FPSMMO PlanetSide 2.

dude, i love these time lapse videos. It helps me to appreciate the amount of work that goes into the game, and reminds me to look around at all the crazy level of detail. Cant wait to shoot that bad boy! More timelapse!

[FASELstudios]

Wow you really can tell he loves his work and he cares about the viewers, explaining every detail and such things like "i hope you dont get dizzy / i hope you like it". love it!

[DannyWelch]

I've really enjoyed the recent video coverage from SOE. It's interesting to see the work that goes into the games we enjoy so much. It also highlights the passion the team members have for the game. Keep up the great work, guys. Can't wait to play PlanetSide2!

This is so well done. I really appreciate the time lapse. I can't wait for some more large scale combat and galaxy drops. I loved the platoon sized attacks from galaxies in the first game. It is only going to get better.

We REALLY need more videos like these.

[CheapSushi]

I AM BLOWN AWAY. That is real skill and talent. You deserve that paycheck!

[Xeus]

cant wait the coming out of this game!! Pretty cool style guys

[sean]

Gotta love how this game slowly, but surely evolves

[bangelta]

your sir should be very proud of your talent. enjoyed watching this. amazing :)

[Beerai]

All of that detail. I'm looking forward to this game so much. Night gameplay is going to be an amazing experience. I hope the day/night cycle eventually lengthens before release. It'd be nice to be able to coordinate night-ops. Lead a small unit into a base, wreak havoc and then escape before sunrise.

[sampsalol]

That is mighty impressive! More videos?

[CMDRFandragon]

It would be awesome beyond belief if at some point SoE implements that gun on a massive vehicle or something at some point. It could be used as an artillery on a walker body, the re-implementation of the BFR...

[caloypoy]

So damn amazing!!! I envy your skills so much!

[RadimaxRadimaX]

amazing design! the only thing i could see have some more work or detail done at is the big gray cylindrical bolt in the middle allowing the tilt of the cannon. other then that its concept art

[TakoyaKyono]

"Hope you like it".

Like it? I god damn LOVE it! That much effort going into a static gun emplacement? If that's the level of detail of a static emplacement, what are you guys going to be doing on the main vehicles and weapons?

[isaacstation]

thats awesome, can't wait to play! I hope i get a beta invitation!!

[RenaissanceHeavy]

It would be awesome if this became a capture-able weapon that once a faction takes it over, they can then use it as a large artillery cannon and attack anywhere on the map.

[cappslock]

probably anywhere from a day, to a week, or even a month. the creative process isn't something that can/should be rushed

[SquirrelFurious]

@taylorvincent Allows them to get a greater feel for the 3D shape of the object. I've done this myself to create images.

[DejectedCat]

The operational versions of these are probably gonna eventually show up on those aeriall carrier ships they're planning to add.
