What hardware do you have? All drivers upToDate ? Please don't answer with an "Yes" or "No"...please be more specific.

Yeah, i think the problem is your graphics card. Your VAIO has no dedicated graphics card only the integrated from your CPU and thats maybe an "Intel GMA 2000". That will be the problem. This VAIO? : http://www.notebookcheck.net/Sony-Vaio-VPC-EB47GM-BJ.53602.0.html with this GMA: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-HD-Graphics-2000-100.37994.0.html I think integrated graphics are not official supported...sry.
You can't change your graphics card. If your IGB is not supported by Planetside2 you can't play it on your VAIO. :\
Welcome to the world of computers, where new software surpasses old hardware and thus people are motivated to upgrade their equipment. Laptops are much harder to update than desktops. If you had one of the first Sony computers sold, would you expect to be able to play this game? And to answer the question forming in your young mind, no, you can't buy a USB videocard, upgrade your ram or hard drive and expect this game to work. Here's a site which will analyze your computer and tell you which games you can run: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri and http://www.reddit.com/r/lowendgaming for gaming advisement designed for slower/older machines.
Also to edit; my much older sony viao does play the game OK, even if only at low. You must have made the wrong choice with your videocard with that machine, as it has my specs beat in processor and ram speed by far.
This thread was no help, i fixed the game by myself, I went to Intel and downloaded some HD Graphic Cards and rebooted my pc, the time i ran it, it ran just well. People Out there, Just try to fix it, its easy. Waste a bit of your time and believe you can fix it, it will work trust me, I'm not trying to say not to listen to these supports, but still if then say you cant just try harder and own them. Thank you!
@Over-Infinity: You are such an ignorant person! I ask you in post #8: If you're not able to give useful answers, then no one can really help you! Own them? LoL! You are ridiculous! But anyways...nice to hear that you can run the game.
