Planetside 2's Fire In The Sky

If there's any justice in this dark, terrible world, PlanetSide 2 will be the last action videogame we ever need.

This peek at 'massive air combat' certainly allays worries it'll be a small-scale territory war at least, and demonstrates that PS2 intends to use the skies far more than its proud predecessor did.

Edit - okay, okay, this went up here recently. Sorry, I thought the last one was about soundtracks, because I am very stupid.

Still, scale and spectacle make a digi-war alright.
