Screenshots have been released, men have been slowly rotated , now it's finally time to find out what Planetside 2 will really look like. The video above, from VG247 , contains the first few blips of proper in-game footage (with a UI and everything), with men moving and shooting each other, tanks battling across a desert and even a bit of sky war, showing off some especially snazzy rocket lighting.
