Reminds me a little of The Agency (if that's not dead at this point), but in a Sci-fi guise. Looks interesting though, always nice to see something a bit different.
I love the style and i think it looks so amazing. I expect it will be the first free to play game ive played that ill be happy to spend money in the cash shop.
Maybe not but thats how awesome it looks to me.

Looks good, but still wait for more info and play footage for Planetside Next, though it would suck if Planetside Next turned out to be a graphical upgrade to the old one and done to run on PS3, that would suck.
if the fights can be involving 400+ players then it might be worth looking at.. otherwise.. planetside does it much better, any online mmo shooter is inevitably going to be measured alongside planetside, and if it can't do things at least as well.. then.. i am not sure just having shinier graphics is going to really cut it..
How are they going to generate revenue? I just do not see cosmetics being enough to support this long term. If the "extra's" are game changing then it will be a issue.
FPS? If it is a pure FPS shooter then there goes the immersion, PvE or PvP. In FPS the immersion is with a weaponj and not with a character. There are hints that there is more to it than that but only hints. For the majority of players of MMO's there has to be more than aim and shoot. Even EVE, the ultimate PvP centric game, found that to grow they needed more than PK. Since it is F2P with stated PvE content I will certainly give it a try but if I can't see my avatar while playing, only a gun or little window view from inside then I doubt I will stay. Give us both types of play and I will gladly try it out. Good luck to the launch and am placing the Homepage of Firefall on my Favorites list to check up how it is going.

Yeah I preffer 3rd person games in any case, easyer to maintain situational awarness, when to dodge, where to dodge ect, and as you said, I like to actually see my charicter.
Excellent post. Been wondering what was happening with the game & if it was still on track for a Q4 release; also glad to see its still F2P all around.
Any chance hearings of when the beta will start up? Haven't heard much on that front in a long time, besides just the signups...
Sounds like Tribes with a TF2 store set-up. Since TF2 is basically free half the year I can see how money can be made with just items. Though I'm trying to see the persistance here, but I look forward to playing this.

If they put anything that effects gameplay in the item shop I won't touch this game and the devs should go jump in a lake and never come up. It is enough they are getting a decent box price, they don't need to gouge us anymore.

Throwing some TF2 in the mix sounds fun, BRINK is too hehe.

Game looks awesome and i'm looking forward to it.
Though, only selling cosmetics and "extra's" .... is that really enough cash flow to support a game like this?

You can flip between "gunsite" and 3rd person view.
I liked using both, depending what I was doing.

looks awsome how i can get in the beta to hepl inprove what is alredy awsome game
This game has an amazing community I suggest everybody go check out the forums at www.firefallthegame.com
How do they plan on making money? Cleary some sort of cash shop I'm sure, however will items you buy be cosmetic or make you more powerful?
