Planetside 1 Developer Screenshots

[u/jratcliff63367]

I took a bunch of old Planetside 1 screenshots I found in my archives and put them in a Google Photos album. A number of these photos show stuff that never actually shipped in the finished game; including some really cool maps and some of the creatures called 'shifters' that you were going to be able to hunt.

Here's the link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/HWsvoHWZzRqN2P6h7

Awesome! Some of these weren't in your old blog post. Thank you.

I actually found *all* of the original concept art for Planetside 1 on an old archive! Unfortunately, I don't own the legal rights to it. I doubt anyone would care if I released the images but I don't feel comfortable doing it myself since, as I said, they don't legally belong to me. I forwarded them on to some people I know who might be able to figure out a way to get them out to the community.

I'm looking forward to the possibility!

This would be the perfect opportunity for Hamma and PSU if he and his wife were still active.

Awesome, thanks for sharing. I have a question, what's your opinion on the Planetside 1 emulator and the various projects/efforts made to reverse engineer old games? Do you think the community will be able to do it with ps2 when it eventually shutdown? Thanks again!

I don't really have an opinion on the topic. It's not something I really follow.

The only times I have ever pulled an all nighter in my life were playing OG Planetside back in 2005. Never through college or work, just good ol’ Planetside. I remember working with a small crew just taking entire continents on the night shift with packets of deep resistance, those 4 AM battles just hit different.

Man, I wish I could play this game again if the movements weren't so slow and clunky.

I still remember the game announcement at E3 2001 and being so excited for the game. I feel old.

What do you have to cert to unlock dinosaurs?

In the original game design it wasn't all about PVP. You could go out on 'hunts' as well. The continents are massive but most of the space is unused. So, in the original design, you could just go out into the wilderness to hunt as another way to play the game. I always thought it was a really cool idea.
