PlanetSide is a Massively multiplayer online first-person shooter computer game published by Sony Online Entertainment and released on May 19, 2003. The number of players is known to have been over 40,000 in September 2004, but some research suggests that the player count might have been in the 50,000 to 60,000 range throughout 2004 and some of 2005. *

Story


After exploring through a deep space wormhole, the "Terran Republic", a highly centralised oligarchic galactic government which had unconditionally ruled humanity for the past 1,112 years, discovered a single habitable planet. Not only was this planet suitable for the sustenance of life, but it also already possessed many native, highly developed and staggeringly familiar flora and fauna. The Science Institute named this planet Auraxis. Taking a keen interest in this aberration, the Republic quickly sent expeditions through the wormhole to explore and colonise the planet. Shortly after arriving, the colonists discovered the remains and technology of a lost and ancient alien species - the Vanu (also known as the Ancients, since their original name for themselves was not known). This technology, at first an enigma, proved to be so complex and powerful as to barely be conceivable to human minds, involving levels of energy previously thought to be physically unquantifiable. This allowed for the quick colonisation of the ten continents of Auraxis, the creation of power sources and vehicles for the use of the colonists and, most importantly, it facilitated the development of rebirthing technology. This nanotechnology allowed the Terrans to deconstruct and reconstruct their own bodies, allowing fast transportation across the world. Later on, it was discovered that dead workers could be brought back to life using the technology, revealing a startling new possibility: immortality. Needless to say, the incredible power (and value) of this technology was systemically acknowledged, and despite the enormity of the advances made due to the study of the technology, it was also recognised that humanity had not yet even scratched the surface of any future possibilities. Later on, the discovery that the planet itself had been an artificial construction of the Ancients further served to solidify the realisation that if left unchecked, Vanu technology would forever and irrevocably change humanity and its future.

MAGのコメントみてから動画検索してみた、これやっぱPlanetSideにそっくりだ、雰囲気がw 128vs128はFPSというか、ただの戦争の1兵隊を味わえる感じなんかな? 実際そこまで人数集まってくると腕とかそういう話じゃなくなりそう その設定好きだけどさ、小隊連携とかwww

おはようございます。人が遊ぶ物を作るなら、商品を正しく見る目は養いたいものです。役割分担はマルチプレイでは必須の概念ですわ。さて、MAGについて結論。レベル12まで遊んだ結果、CODやPlanetsideに遠く及ばない代物であると判断。残念ながらもうおなか一杯。
