Planetside Announced

95
The next issue of PCGamer (creators of this!) has the announcement of Verant working on a massive multiplayer online action game (yup, not RPG, but action). DailyRadar being affiliated with them and whatnot have the scoop now though. Check out the interview here and the pretty respectable looking screenshots below. (Some look cool, some have that trademark low poly massive multiplayer thing goin on)

We're a lot more like Tribes in this context. Basically, what you equip yourself with will define your role. In other words, we're not going to force someone to become a scout or a heavy weapons person or support. It's more about what you wear. We will be putting a number of suits into the game, ranging from military to stealth to engineering to medical, but anyone can wear them, which is important.
