SOE and Blur Studio release new PlanetSide 2 cinematic trailer
The other day I was talking to a fellow shooter fan about the merits of PlanetSide 2. There's the open world, the thousand-player battles, and the seamless gameplay transitions between air vehicles, ground vehicles, and foot soldiering. What about those funky bright-colored uniforms, though? Those were a tough sell to my buddy, at least prior to SOE's latest PS2 trailer. The gamemaker has joined forces with Blur Studio to produce a grim, grey romp through the far future battlefields of Auraxis. There is a bit of Terran Republic red in the three-minute clip, but it's mostly from the blood splattering across armor, windshields, and the camera lens. We got a 45-second tease of the clip last week, but this time around we can see the whole heart-pounding picture. There's no actual game footage on display, but the video is nonetheless a welcome tease of what's to come as PlanetSide 2 moves into closed beta testing. Check it out after the cut.

SOE teases a trailer for PlanetSide 2's next trailer
There are trailers, and then there are trailers for trailers. Sony Online Entertainment has released the latter today in support of its upcoming PlanetSide 2 MMOFPS. The clip in question is 46 seconds of CG awesome sauce, but apparently it's just a teaser for the full-length video that will debut on July 25th. It's called Death is No Excuse, and as you might expect, it's full of battlefield hijinks and a deep-voiced trailer guy who seemingly comes standard with every action-charged preview ever made. "War will not determine who is right," he says, "only who is left." Cue the dramatic music (and the fanboy squees) and head past the cut to check it out.
