See SOE has a record of taking fantastic games then slowly letting the die due to mismanagment.
D. Smart games start off aweful, then slowly dies due to the developer being a general jerk to the few remaining fans of the game who just want to see them improve.
I can see the validity of this thread in that both games are marked for dissapointment eventually. I think hes asking the question "will SOE ruin a great game faster than D.Smart dives away the 50-100 true fans of his game?" In this case i do think it will be a showdown.

SOE hater I see.
So answer the question what FANTASTIC game did SOE slowly let die ? The only game I can think of is SWG which WAS NOT popular during release no matter how many pretend it was the game failed to live up to LA/SOEs expectations so they made drastic changes to try and help which didnt work.
Pretty funny that Derek Smart isn't paying attention to the competition enough to know how different PS2 is from PS1.
Honestly though, even if PS2 was just PS1 with good graphics it would probably be a great game that would suck up all of my free time. It's obvious that there are a lot of changes to the formula for PS2, however.
Fact is, even if I had never heard of either game and was deciding which to play, I would pick PS2 over LOD every time. The deciding factor is 3 factions vs 2 factions in a persistent open world pvp game. There are so many reasons why 3 factions is better in this style of game. If PS1 were a 2 faction game, it would have sucked ass. The 3 factions made up for the various population imbalances throughout the games lifespan, more or less.
Concidering I had never heard of PS1 and only mildly looking into PS2 untill I can play it I have to say I'm with everyone else...what is LOD lol. I'm definitly interested in this genra of FPS. I've tried looking for other games I could play untill PS2 either invites me to beta or releases. LOD never even once came up.
So that begs the question. How can a game that no one outside of a small group of people even compare with the marketing machine that is SOE? Thats ignoring the fact the graphics look awefull and the animations are worse than...well pretty much anything these days. I've seen better animations from highschool students.

Yeah, I am not sure what would make LOD so great. IMHO it looks *really* bad.

sorry, but i do not see how instanced battlefields aregonna compete with open world FPS action ^^
planetside 2 already won. by miles.

To be fair, LOD is similar ot planetside in that it is a persistent open world pvp game. It's supposed to not have any instances.
But yeah, PS looks better by a mile. This LOD game isn't even on my radar.

hm, okai my mistake then, first time i read about LoD above (so i thought the compares would be correct)
anyway, whoever asks how planetside 2 could win vs any other game, obviously did not play planetside 1

I'd rather play Planetside 1.
The two faction thing sounds terrible for a game likethis. I just had a vision of SWTOR's Ilum, only that's the entire game.

Can somebody explain me what the f* is LOD?
You can't be serious. LOD looks bad, even in the trailer.
Back in 1998 it might have been epic...
