It's been a long, long wait, but PlanetSide 2 is finally in beta on the PlayStation 4. Sony Online Entertainment encouraged eager fans to sign up to its pre-release test earlier in the month, and it's been inviting lucky gamers in waves. Consequentially, we're now privy to oodles of gameplay videos from the free-to-play foray, and we've embedded a particularly good one below.
In the clip, you'll see one player engaging in various ground-based and vehicular skirmishes. Much like Destiny, this sci-fi affair will see you connecting with other players online – except it can host up to 2,000 participants per continent. The competitive focus means that it's not directly comparable to Bungie's first-person epic, but there are similarities there. The question is: do you think that this is going to temporarily pull you away? Gun us down in the comments section below.

I can't wait for this personally. But I already needed a break from Destiny, it got too repetitive.
So futuristic battlefield then
I quit Destiny long ago not looking back, waiting for this since I played it on PC and as golden_dolphin said, this is the closest you can get to the Battlefield games of yore (42, vietnam, 2042). Can't friggin wait!
I hope this pulls people away from Destiny. It's going to be a bit of a shock for people use to only seeing 4-16 other people, when they roll over a hill and see 50 people fighting over a base. People dropping in from pods and jets peppering the ground.
I'm very excited about this. One thing I was hoping next gen consoles would be able to do is be able to handle a LARGE amount of people in one game. I know PC has been doing it for a long time but consoles haven't been able to handle it until now. It's awesome
Anyone in the beta yet?.. If so, is the game quick when you call in vehicles, do the guns feel "heavy" and does the game look?...from what Sony said it should be looking pretty great
I might get this once it's offical release happens. The idea of 2,000 player battles is pretty cool.
Please be 60fps... Please...
Looks really good so far, lets hope micro transactions wont ruin the game.
MINESWEEPER could pull me away from destiny.
When I hit 28 on destiny it got boring, looking forward to Planetside
It's 30fps @Pony LTD
WOW!! looks Great @@ gonna give it a try, need a break from destiny getting repetitive -_-
A toddler with a radio flyer wagon could pull me away from Destiny. Seriously though, I am really looking forward to planet side. I love shooters with high player counts like MAG and Battlefield 4. Hope the free to play isn't too gougey otherwise should be good.
Looks awesome I'm done with destiny it's been sitting at the bottom of my games pile for a while now, I signed up for the beta but not had a invite any one else not had a invite?
I've abandoned Destiny long ago without looking back.... so... more than ready to play this. I've always enjoyed massive fps online since battlefield 1942, I will definitely give this one a good try. Looks good. I hope it won't be too much pay to win...
So very looking forward to this, I need something to replace destiny, cod wasn't it, hopefully star wars battlefield and the division won't let me down, in the meantime, this, yes please.
The gameplay kind of reminds of Blacklight, hopefully it's a lot better. Can't wait to try it out!
People still play Destiny? Huh.....
Destiny pulled me away from Destiny well enough. And I love large battles in Battlefield, long sniper battles and vehicle warfare so this looks better in every conceivable way to me.
@golden_dolphin no not battlefield bf is not even close to this game think same size maps ex.golmud railway but instead of 32 v 32 it could be 200 v 200 and up, like a real battle.
@teknium_ http://youtu.be/uX8bjuEujws there's some beta footage (the battles you see are tiny compared to what they will be there still running server test) skip to 22 minutes to get a nice ranged view. They are still working on getting the weapons right.
@itshoggie more like dust 514 on a huge scale.
make no mistake this game is nothink like you have ever played before wether your good at 1st person shooters or not you will die a lot with situations out of your control this game isn't battlefield or destiny for that I will add its way more than any of these games 2 years I been playing this game on pc you will either love it or you wont it takes time to understand the game and for you people that stick with it you will find in my opinion the best shooter ever made nothink compares to planetside 2
Long awaited this will surely pull me away! Then i canget rid of Bf4 on PS4 and get it on the X1 . ..then have Hardline on PS4 along with Planet Side 2!
