14 DAY TRIAL // The developers at Sony Online Entertainment working on Planetside 2 have posted a new and unusual video for the MMO, showing the process that lead to the design of the Sky Lance, one of the first in-game weapons that were fully detailed.
The team also offered information on Nanite Systems, an in-game corporation that “was once a small company with a singular focus on Nanotechnology. With advances in technology allowing their nanites to do everything from mining to manufacturing, Nanite Systems has become the single largest of Auraxis' civilian corporations.”
Nanite Systems chose to become a service provider for all three big military in-game factions and players will encounter their creations at certain points in Planetside 2 and will be able to use them against their enemies.
Planetside 2 will bring gamers to the vast continents of Auraxis, giving them the option to align with one faction and then fight against other players using first-person shooter mechanics that have been adapted to the MMO space.
