What Planetside Next means to me on Smed's Blog discusses recent indications that a PlanetSide sequel is in the works (thanks PlanetSide Universe). In the update Jon Smedley explains his love for the original game, and who he envisions its follow-up. Here's the conclusion:

 

 

To me, Planetside Next means we get a chance to take the essence of everything that was fun in Planetside and make it a lot better. Massive battles on a scale no other FPS will touch. None of this 64 player stuff. REALLY MASSIVE. With much better organization, and a tight focus on making sure the action is always going on, with awesome graphics.

 

Damn I love Planetside. I really do.
