Planetside Interview

Die Jungs vom PlanetsideCenter haben mal wieder ran geklotzt und es geschafft ein Interview mit dem Lead Designer Kevin Mc Cann zu führen. Das Spiel wird in von Sony und Ubi Soft weltweit published.

Mystifier : Q1. [Vehicles] "Will you need to be in light armor to drive/pilot vehicles, or will you be able to use medium or heavy armor for some? Are there any ground-based transports so you won't have to walk for hours to get to an outpost in heavy armor?"

StrykerPS : "Certain vehicles, primarily those that are closed-cockpit (meaning the driver is fully protected – like a tank) require the piloting soldier to wear Light Body Armor. The open cockpit vehicles, such as our quad and buggies, can have a pilot wearing Medium Body Armor.
With that said, a soldier wearing Medium Body Armor can still act as a passenger and often gunner for closed cockpit-based vehicles. Soldiers wearing Heavy Armor Suits, on the other hand, will be much more restricted in traveling – they can only ride in predesignated spots on Armored Personnel Carriers and Dropships.
We want to make sure that players can get back into the action fairly swiftly. With this being a FPS, we don’t want players having to endure a long travel time just to get into the battle."
