Its the end of an era :( I spent thousands of hours on PlanetSide 2 and originally began playing during the beta.. I still remember very clearly the first time I played and was in awe at the scale and the graphics, so many amazing moments and memories over the years.. it will always be my favourite game, and it will be in my heart until I hit my death bed. I was in my early 20's back then and it was the prime of my life, now I'm 12 years older and got a few grey hairs. You were a substantial influencer to the scene and you did alot good for the game and the community. All good things come to an end unfortunately. Its a damn tragedy that we never will get a PlanetSide 3.. but we'll continue to get these repetitive/ boring battle Royale and arena shooter games.. like we need more of those. What more can you say, it breaks my heart. I played up until about a year ago, connery began dieng off and life got in the way and i dont see myself playing again unless they merge the servers which I think is the case for alot of others.

Thank you very much Cyrious for this video and for your work. Planetside 2 wasnt just my for fun evening game to play, it was my favorite free time activity, my passion. Spent a lot of time, money and nerves in this game and I dont regret it one bit. I have so many epic memories carved in my mind that will probably stay there forever. Memories that I will never be able to experience again in any other game. Been playing the game since its launch when I was only 13 years old lad. Perhaps its time for peace on Auraxis finally. Its been an Honor to serve the Republic o7

Why has nobody thought about that using the Planetside model/engine with warhammer 40k that game would be epic huge war in the 41st millenium

As someone coming from the way back before times of Beta testing Planetside 1, this is a sad update but spot on. I have not played much lately but I kept up my subscription in the hopes that something new would come of it. Guess not. In the meantime Commander, you should try Squad. Its not Planetside but I find myself addicted to the team and logistical aspects that other games lack.

[@CMDRCyrious]

The vids I have seen of squad look cool, I would like to try it out soon

[@addusernamehere]

Very insightful video. Amazing to me how thorough your perpective is. I met you in-game once, Commander. Late night gaming session, low player counts, we just visited for a bit. It was impressive to see what you're like in a less official setting, however briefly. You're clearly quite smart. Cheers to you in your streaming future. And cheers to a future where Planetside 4 has crazy high player counts, built on a new engine to last for decades, and wisdom going into product design.

[@CMDRCyrious]

Best part is connecting with people in game. Thanks for the wonderful words, we will look forward to the future.

[@Blacksmith__]

Great video. EG7's boom and bust was definitely the piece of info I was missing to understand what was happening. I couldn't understand why someone other than an established publisher/developer would purchase the IP. From the facts you laid out, it's pretty clear the investor is only interested in collecting royalties, not developing a new game. It's depressing, but you're right in saying that big things are not coming for Planetside, they might never come, and if they do it'll be after PS2 dies and the new owners are out shopping for a new royalty farm. If the IP ends up in the hands of a new team somewhere down the line, there's no reason to expect they'll be the right people with the right skills to pull it off, or that they'll have an ethical mindset instead of a desire to make some hideous cash grab.

[@CMDRCyrious]

You are right man, its in a bit of limbo right now, all we can do is hope a reputable developer picks it up.

[@b_tang]

Appreciate the update. I almost forgot about this game.

[@insanitysreign6195]

38:12 No need to call me out Cyrious! :P All in good fun, though! Real life has been kicking my butt as well, that's why I haven't been as active, that and my IRL friends and I are constantly cycling through games. Sometimes it's Stellaris, sometimes it's Helldivers 2, sometimes it's Factorio (heavily modded ofc) and other times it's whatever is on our minds for the day. As for the feedback end of things you were talking about at the end, sitting here thinking about it, I could quite comfortably see you bringing your audience over to Elite Dangerous or Eve Online as well as the other creator you mentioned, when the game dies. Quite frankly, as soon as you said, "I might be the guy going down with the ship." I sat there and thought, "Yeah, that sounds like him. Loyal Auraxian to the end. o7" My reasons for those two games are quite similar, so I'll bring out some of their similarities: 1. Sci-fi. 2. Both feature wonderful communities (if you know where to look ofc, mileage may vary) and have histories of helping noobs out of their respective learning curves and getting them to go into the directions that they want to go. 3.Both feature cooperation quite heavily in their own ways. Eve Online, it's well known, that your best ally and worst enemy are other players that you don't know, (Sounds a lot like Planetside, eh?) in Elite Dangerous, you can have heavy cooperation within a ship, or within entire squadrons. (I personally love ED bc it's a 1 to 1 recreation of the Milky Way based off of NASA's most current data, in-game events and stories aside) I think the PS2 playerbase has a die-hard love for cooperative games in large numbers, and both games have histories of that in their own ways. 4. They're both active in their respective development cycles. Elite Dangerous just released some new stuff the other day, and Eve Online has been restructuring and revamping their engine for the last few years (The game has never looked better. I can go anywhere in the New Eden Star Cluster and use the background as a screensaver) I understand that neither are FPS', and if you want my recommendation on that, currently I would say Helldivers 2 would be decent, but it doesn't quite fit the "en-masse cooperative, all at once, in one place" niche that PS2 fans have an undying addiction to. StalCraft would be another recommendation because it does feature that, but IMHO, I think that the gameplay leaves something to be desired, and doesn't really fit all that well. As for your IRL updates, have them in, keep them out, Commander's Discretion, I'll enjoy your happiness and the fact that you're enjoying the life you live, but I'll admit... Construction has never been an industry of interest to me. Respected? 100%, but not interesting to me. So long as Commander Cyrious is happy, I'll watch from the sidelines and raise a glass with you as you succeed in your journey. I'd like to hear your thoughts on the feedback, but if you don't have the time to do so, I definitely understand. Much love from Utah, my man! o7

[@CMDRCyrious]

I really like your ideas, I am leaning towards Hell Divers :) Thanks man, Utah, we are practically neighbors, CO here. Hope its a good summer for ya

[@Remixthisgaming]

Excited to see the video.. Been a while.

[@serenitythelefty4916]

As one of those "Keep subbed to keep up with PS2" people, seeing other team based shooters like Squad and Arma from your perspective would be cool, especially since it seems you're an old school gamer back when MMOs were the big thing (I've never really been into them outside of PS2).

[@CMDRCyrious]

Good to hear, glad I can expand into other shooters.

[@DrGzhero]

You might enjoy HellDivers II. It's not the same but, the feeling of completing an objective with thousands of players on your side is still somewhat there. As much as I love Planetside2, I can't help but agree that at this point it really is going to meet its end soon. But I have been playing HellDivers and, while I don't see hundreds of players around me trying to complete the liberation or defense of a planet, it still feels that way since it's a collective community effort. The game really does make you feel that way especially when you see countless spaceships parked in the area your squad is about to drop in.

[@CMDRCyrious]

I am just starting to dabble but it is a really cool game. Hoping to do some content on it.

[@kylereichenbach4475]

I have not played planetside 2 in 2 years and that was me playing alone after Oshur came out, I used to play this game with friends which was when it was most enjoyable, but they moved on to other titles. I remember playing TR on Oshur and Cyrious invited me to his platoon and it was really cool seeing the communication and excitement back then of seeing something new in the game. Planetside 2 truly has a unique experience thats hard to replicate. As for game recommendations, I'm going to recommend Hell Let Loose, its an incredibly fun WW2 pseudo-mil-sim shooter with 50v50 game modes and ground vehicle combat, artillery, resource based, and is squad based like planetside with officers and commanders. Its sort of my planetside replacement as it is the closest (for me personally) to scratching the itch that planetside scratches. It is $45 for the base game but all of the DLC are just cosmetics that don't affect gameplay.

[@CMDRCyrious]

Hell let loose does look pretty cool

[@MoonyTheBat]

I've been watching Summit1g playing Star Citizen, and watching a space game like that really just made me want to play Planetside 2 (well really DUST 514 but you know).

We both loved the game, had a lot of conversations about the game and came to known some youtubers because of it. You are one of them. HUGE props to you for mentioning other youtubers, such as Yamisk! I have all factions sitting at around 50-55 BR. My buddy was a TR fan, so he got his TR to allmost 70, NC and VS till 40. I love the game. I suck at the game, and I cannot shoot at all nowadays. My buddy loves the game. He suck at the game, and he cannot shoot at all as well. We both having our asses handed to us, but we still laughing, we still having our moments in the game. When I talk about fps games with my friends, or collegues. I usually bring up Planetside 2. But looking at it now, It is indeed a 12 year old game. One gem within my heart that is for sure. Infortunately, despite how much I love the game, I never end up playing it. I allways play other games, instead of it. I keep seeing stuff about it, thinking yea I should pick the game up. Sometimes I log in, play an hour then log off after getting rekted 1k times. Despite it's hardcore state, and how insanely hard this game is. I love the game. Think of it as a Dark Souls, but pvp. The bosses are insane players, you have a similar chance to defeat. I'm proudly say that I got 765 hours in the game! Still love the game. Will love the game. Allways loved the game. JKCaRS! - Just Keep Calm and ReSpawn!

Happy to hear things are going your way IRL since that's always what's important! Perhaps something to keep in mind going forward, is that people who follow content creators are introduced to them via content but over time stay for the creator. I think if you wanted to throw up footage of some IRL stuff that would be well received. People like hearing from the creators they follow and as long as there is some form of content, the audience will be there. As far as planetside goes, I haven't played for a couple years already. When I think about what it could have been, it's unfortunate that it never got there. Will always be one of my favorite titles but like a fool, I'm holding on to hope that someone, somewhere will make the game we want from it. Don't stress about the future of planetside/gaming, something will always be there that you can get in to. Enjoy the present and the time you have now, online is just a click away, take it easy and look forward to seeing more vids about anything, really.

Hey man, you are that kind of streamer, creator that has a voice and an analytical aspect that is both soothing for the soul and easy to follow no matter what you do. So by simply streaming or creating what ever comes to your mind until you found that something, im sure your gonna enjoy it too. You cant please every one, but you can definitely please a smal group of loyal followers. Thats here for you and nothing els. And since you asked for some suggestion, i will add a game i been waiting for since 2020, came out recently in march 2024. Its named Outpost infinity siege, its a fps, TD, RTS solo/coperative game. And if you cant find any big MMOFPS i suggest you take a look at it. Its really interesting and its like only 30$ on steam.

[@CMDRCyrious]

ooo that sounds cool, Sort of like a Command & Conquer Renegade scenario?

[@MrJML18]

@@CMDRCyrious Yes exactly, but much more advanced. Its really good at trying to be something new and refreshing. Im sure you will enjoy it alot, Altho the story line is not the best, the game clearly is not build around the story line. Its more about the building, defending, searching and all that kind of aspects that makes the game feel like a treasure hunting. The game is overwhelming, but for a player thats good at overwhelming information, this game might be suited for you. Another cool thing about the FPS aspects in this game, is that the weapon you have can be upgraded to multiple different versions and works abit like a wand, with access to spells and abilitys that makes your gun a multi functional tool. Lisent, if you buy it and test it, and you dident like it. I personaly will pass by your stream and drop cash for at least a whole famely pizza as pay back for the game you bought.

I think a long form video about how a game so good it lasted 12 years spent its entire time hated by those who played it. How a dream for something better leads you to procrastinate and overlook the good thing you have now, and poetically how some of the ones who hated now cry out for people to see the beauty they could not before its gone forever.

[@CMDRCyrious]

That sounds cool DJ i will put that on the video list

[@Frost87112]

Idk if I'm already a veteran player considering all the guys around, however i've spent 5 years enjoying this game so i deeply thank you for this comprehensive explanation. I personally feel a merge would be beneficial in the short term, but this would have to come with an update that actually engages the new influx of players to stay active and keep spending money in the game.

[@MirageRidersofIcarus]

[@HarryCaneNo1]

During the first three years I was hoping to see PS2 live long and grow. Around '16 I started to realize that PS2 was only going down except a few ok updates every other month. After that I kept wondering why they didnt plan PS3. Even after Arena the devs never realized what the actual problems were. My breaks from the game became longer and longer. Not even the pandemic made me look at it again. Planetside is dead - end of the story. They can change staff, promise ideas, sell it again and again. Doesnt change anything. We needed a fresh, modern PS3 like 6 years ago.

[@CMDRCyrious]

You are right on. The planetside arena was a tough miss, it really needed to be PS3 development

[@konellin189]

Thank you for your honest way of view...I can tell one thing...there will be something but not PS4 but it will be called different but it will have all the things we wanted...

[@CMDRCyrious]

[@Meta_Gryphon]

Planetside 2 is the best shooter MMO ever. It ticks so many boxes. Sandbox, not one battle is the same, grindy, has skills ladder, and you need your own skills, you can run, drive, fly, swim, build.. It has streamers to keep the game going, it runs smoothly on any pc. You can get burned out but never bored. You can play for free. Paying helps with accessing faster more weapons or vehicle. It is not pay to win. It took me several years before i decided to subscribe.

[@CMDRCyrious]

You hit all the points.

[@andronicus1788]

[@joshriker4173]

You've been my go-to PS2 youtuber throughout the years and I appreciate your transparency and perspectives. Sad to see the game dying. Closest thing I've been able to enjoy is Destiny 2 by Bungie. It's a bit more PvE RPG FPS than the militaristic style MMO tactical side of things you see here, but offers fun buildcrafting and some smaller scale PvP modes. You might like it. I can't look at other FPS the same after feeling Destiny 2's gunplay. Sets the bar high. Regarding the future of your channel, while I think the personal content of your IRL life would be cool, like you said it could drive away subscribers with the clutter. I think long-term subscribers will probably stay subbed even through your silence until you find a different game/direction for the channel, as opposed to unsubbing because of clutter. Often we forget we are subbed unless there's something prompting us to unsub like clutter or content we don't want, so if a dormant period is necessary, I don't think it would be as harmful. Just food for thought. o7

[@mikebond3210]

When you were talking about the fact that this year the devs didn't want to do the "next big update", the reason behind it I think is because the community legit asked for putting priority on fixing bugs and removing hackers.

[@CMDRCyrious]

I do think the community is asking for that, but hackers are rampant and there is not much big fixing.

I'm not playing any other Shooter or MMO anymore. Planetside and that's it. Not even anything in sight that could replace it.

It is so weird to hear the IP of planetside being sold. I do wonder what will happen, I half expected the game to got a shutdown in a nanosecond because the buyer was a random company nobody hear about. But so far,color me surprise, Sunderer rework, a new type of capture gamemode have been announced. With that said. If they do end up shutting down, well.. It was a hell of a run lads.

[@CMDRCyrious]

Right on soldier

[@sillybilly121212]

Itll get worse before it gets better but the private equity buyer needs a return. They will monetize as much as they can and then sell it for as much as they can. They are probably targeting a 10-15% IRR. They will sell someday and possibly for much less than 5.9m (they are betting they get more from licensing fees before they sell). Whoever buys the IP, at THAT point, will have only one reason to buy the IP that produces no cash flow. To build something new with it. In the long run, it might be a blessing in disguise as this takes the future of planetside out of the hands of DBG/E7

IDK if its up your alley, and it has horrible monetization, but Crossout is an extremely fun niche PVP game. Once you put in time and get good, its extremely competitive,has very deep mechanics, and needs more content creators. I can't believe how hooked i got on Crossout over time

I saw that come out and never got a second to get into it, if I get a second I will check it out. Arena shooter type of thing right?

[@B-U-T-C-H-E-R]

@@CMDRCyrious Yeah. You build your own vehicles, and battle against others creations. It starts out simple enough, but understanding the building mechanics and creating effective builds gets crazy. A lot of grinding involved to get parts, and investing money is pretty much mandatory

[@SheolAbaddonus666]

I haven't heard about this game since 2014 or so. People i knew were excited about fortnite and battle royale since they had 100 players in one match, I always brought up PlanetSide 2 as having achieved that and more nearly a decade prior.

[@Ser_Swenfeld]

I have honestly been hoping for a real planetside 3 for years, i still play PS2 sometimes because there's nothing like it but im always hoping for an update. I don't know if you have been playing it but helldivers has been a lot of fun, and im sure a planetside 2 vet like you would be of great help fighting off the automatons, they just launched a massive counterattack! personally I don't mind random IRL stuff popping up, sometimes I watch it. Don't know what most people think about that though.

[@CMDRCyrious]

Cool, Hell divers 2 is on my mind.

[@Piombo65]

Planetside 2 is basically the only FPS I'm playing now. The rest doesn't surprise me, maybe I could buy Battlebit in case of closing. For me the only coming game that would substitute it would be EVE Vanguard, where everytime I play his playtests, at the feedback "what's your favourite FPS of all times" i always respond "Planetside 2".

Thanks again for all the support man!

[@kinnusai4432]

I watched the video the day it came out but it's been a busy few days. Had a wedding to go to and a hangover to deal with aftewards. Comment time. I've also noticed an odd amount of optimism in chat and also in various youtube videos recently. It's kinda weird. I've seen videos with titles like "new devs!" when the game doesn't have new devs, as you pointed out. It kinda makes you wonder about people if I'm totally honest. Do they do their homework before making a video? How much of the content that we see on youtube is made based purely on assumptions and emotions rather than facts and thought? Which is why I've always been a fan of your channel. You know what you're talking about, you do the work and it's always fairly balanced and nuanced. Whenever I see someone hating on Wrel I just always assume they haven't bothered to think and are just venting. People may not agree with every decision he made, that's up to them, but that's a far cry from saying he was to blame for the decline in pop we've seen. He hasn't even been around ffs. Long live Wrel. I know people say the community experience in Planetside 2 is a great one and I'm not saying they're wrong. I do prefer to play solo though. It just gets on my nerves when people are blaming Wrel for every damn thing when the game is doing well, then being weirdly optimistic when the game isn't doing so great and yet still blaming Wrel even though he's no longer working on the game. Happy when the game is in decline, impossible to please when it's doing well. OK guys... I'll just go play solo without the internet echo chamber telling me what to think. The best community moments for me have been watching or taking part in your streams to be honest. Good times. As for the future of your channel, all I know is that I'll be happy to continue watching and supporting whatever you decide to do. Whether it's another game (or games), real life stuff (you do have that other channel, I've checked it out and subbed a while back) or if you just decide to go down with the ship. Whatever it is, I'm sure you'll still put the same work into it, produce quality content and it'll be fun to see what happens. For the time being, this particular rat is happy to not abandon ship and stand there saluting while we all drown o7

[@CMDRCyrious]

Kinnusai I've been so lucky to have you along for this long crazy ride. I hope the kids are great. You are right on, Wrel gave the game everything he could. It feels like that there are some historical revisionist that overwrite that sometimes. It is time for me to expand my horizons, I tested the waters with that other channel and it feels to much like starting from scratch, but I think I can branch out on this one more. Anyways, thanks for always coming around and saying hi, looking forward to hanging out with you on future content and I hope great things keep happening irl for you.

[@CMDRCyrious]

You're welcome soldier

[@MisterZimbabwe]

Been following you for years, even though I fell off PS2 quite a while ago, you still managed to squeeze entertainment out of this old property. Honestly, while PS2 has definitely been your thing, I think you could expand yourself to the overall genre of "Sci fi Shooters" and cover more games that fit within that. Take Helldivers 2 for example, that game scratches a LOT of the itch that PS2 wasn't for me. Titanfall 2 is still going strong as well, weirdly enough (Or maybe not, people love BIG STOMPY ROBOTS) and then you've got all sorts of options if you branch out of just the shooter genre but stick to the sci fi part. I think if you apply who and what you are now to other games that maintain a scifi aesthetic and shooty mechanics, you'll do fine. Why should Cyrious pigeonhoe themselves to being a Commander in just ONE sci fi army game, after all?

[@CMDRCyrious]

[@Renae-ca]

@@CMDRCyrious I appreciate you asking for my humble opinion. =] I've only been on for about a year and a bit, but in that time it's gotten much more stable. There is talk of a 1.0 release in the distant future, but talk nonetheless and I believe Squadron42 is feature complete and in polish phase. There is an upcoming 3.23 update that is going to bring a lot of updates relative to previous updates. Somewhat successful server meshing tests have been done with the public. All in all, it's stable enough to be my daily driver now, though I am a bit of a tech nerd so... Certainly nothing like jumping in and heading to a big battle like PlanetSide, yet. Those types of engagements still need to be planned. There will be a free-fly event in May and I would seriously love to see you opinion of the game. Free-fly events do come with the advantage, or disadvantage based on performance, of full servers.
