New Pictures

Here are a couple of new pictures thanks to Tramell Isaac and his Twitter feed (@PS_TRay).

the Liberator

When the Dev's have spoken about the Liberator one of the real world comparisons they've been quick to draw on has been the AC130. People familiar with Call of Duty: Black Ops will remember that kill streak fondly - only in Planetside 2, the Liberator isn't a kill streak reward, it's a vehicle available to anyone with the certifications and desire to use it. More information on the Liberator can be found here.

Tramell calls this one the "Supermoon"

Not only capable of delivering stunning sunsets, Planetside 2's nightscapes will be equally breathtaking. Though this particular scene isn't lit up by weapons fire, anyone who's seen the GDC gameplay footage can tell you that the lighting effects thrown off by tracer fire really make this kind of setting come to life.

*****Edit*****

Can't a guy go to work and run a blog at the same time? Here I was thinking I had nabbed all the new screens for the day, turns out they were only half way there. Here's what I missed.

a Modular Tower

On the off chance we have any former or current WoW players reading, I'd just like to point out that this tower is located at the "Crossroads". And might I further point out just how Barren the terrain looks, if you get my drift. Hell, set up a couple of totem polls, break open a case of Chuck Norris jokes, and I wager we'll be singing Horde drinking songs by the end of the night! But seriously now, Modular Towers! Do you think they're modular from the players perspective, allowing us to build them up to a factions desired specifications? Or are they just modular from the dev's perspective, easy to combine into unique looking facilities?

the Vanu Sovereignty Air Superiority Fighter - the Scythe 

Each factions gets it's own unique Air Superiority Fighter, and this one, the Scythe, belongs to the VS. The VS specific vehicles are supposed to be the most maneuverable of the three, and the crescent design is a classic choice to show off those capabilities. I personally could do without the rear extensions, but I supposed without them, it might be a bit too classic of a choice, and become indistinguishable from the host of other crescent shaped craft from science fiction's past.

So... do you think it's safe to go to bed? Or are there more pictures on the way? Haha, good night!
