The Daily Grind: Do you use MMORPG mobile apps?
So PlanetSide 2 has a pretty spiffy looking mobile app on the horizon. Assuming the developers make an Android version, I'll definitely check it out thanks to the slick-sounding map updates and the nifty stat-tracking functionality. I'll probably also enjoy a superfluous geek moment or two by opening the app on my tablet and my phone while sitting in front of my command center display PC monitor. That said, I'm not a fan of the small screens and crappy controls that go along with mobile gaming, so PS2's mobile app is something I'll rarely use after the novelty has worn off. What about you, morning folk? Do you use the mobile apps tied to your favorite MMORPG, or are you content to wait until you're in front of your computer to check in with the game? Every morning, the Massively bloggers probe the minds of their readers with deep, thought-provoking questions about that most serious of topics: massively online gaming. We crave your opinions, so grab your caffeinated beverage of choice and chime in on today's Daily Grind!
PlanetSide 2 mobile app to feature 'near real-time' map updates, voice chat
We first heard tell of PlanetSide 2's extensive metagame features at the title's big GDC reveal earlier this year. Skills, achievements, stats, and performance graphs are all part of the equation, as are external fansite-friendly data feeds and a mobile app. As it turns out, said mobile app is being developed by a company called AppBurst. Eagle-eyed users on the PlanetSide Universe forums spotted some details on the company's website that include the aforementioned stats as well as "near real-time" interactive map updates and voice chat. The app's website shows screenshots only for iOS devices, but AppBurst bills itself as an Android developer as well.
