GDC 2012: Planetside 2 screenshots

Sony is revamping and revisioning the universe of Planetside, which originally came out back in 2003. The new Planetside 2 immerses players in an online multiplayer first-person experience that will be free to play. 

The game pits players against each other in a planet-wide war between three different factions: the Terran Republic, a high-tech military force with familiar tanks and guns that shoot bullets, the New Conglomerate —  a scavenger army that patches together equipment and weapons with anything they can find — and finally, the Vanu Sovereignty, which utilize  energy-based weapons from plundered alien tech.

We were able to get a hands-on look at Sony’s Planetside 2 during GDC 2012, for a more in-depth look at the game check it out here.

At the moment there is no release date but you can expect to see the MMOFPS on PC.

An overview highlighting the engineer class in Remnant 2.

Unlike the first game in the series Remnant 2 doesn't limit you to just the initial four starting Archetypes for the entire game. In fact, there are 10 in total you can play with, but not until you unlock them within the game itself. One such Archetype is the Engineer, which is a unique class that focuses on laying down turrets and wielding heavy weapons. If that sounds like a playstyle you'd like to try, finding this Archetype on your own may never happen since you need to do something rather counterintuitive. To cut down on your searching, here's exactly how to unlock the Engineer in Remnant 2.
