Our first look at PlanetSide Next isn’t what you’d expect

Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley has been tweeting up a storm lately. Specifically, he’s shared two renders from PlanetSide Next, which are attached below.

This is where we separate the audience into those who care about PlanetSide, and those who are wondering why the heck they’re reading this. There haven’t been any screenshots for this new installment, so these two images are a first, even if they aren’t exactly glamorous.

The truly dedicated players, presumably, will get something out of this morsel of news. For an MMO like PlanetSide, that essentially describes much of its once-active player base. More to the point, isn’t Next supposed to be playable, like, relatively soonish? Don’t hold out on us, Smedley!
