    this is MMO how? looks more like multiplayer Online

    i mean, if they can make it as huge as PS2, then yes i would definitely join in

    So What Now?

    open world opt-in PVP

     

    this could be the 1st proper virtual world shooter.  

    and that could really rock the MMO world.

    unlike other supposedly similar "mmofps" games.

    Game looks/sounds awesome! Can't wait!

    Combat looks great and engine seems to run well with many players on screen.

    It seems that the game has it's PVP strongpoints, but I wonder how well developed will the PVE part be (classes, character progression, crafting, world size etc.)

    For what ever reason I absolutely love anything SciFi related when it comes to TV and Movies but absolutely do not like SciFi games (unless its post apocalyptic).  I can not wait for the show but will most def pass on the game.

    Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!

    Subscription Gaming, especially MMO gaming is a Cash grab bigger then the most P2W cash shop!

    Bring Back Exploration and lengthy progression times. RPG's have always been about the Journey not the destination!!!

    Hmm...I like the cross between TV series and gameworld but...

    I think the game looks,...cheap ...Stale animations and rather ugly graphics..and from what I seen from TV Show it looks rather cheap aswell..

    And No it doesnt look like Borderlands gameplay or othervise..Only thing that is rather alike is the fact that it takes 3 magazines to beat one foe at times..

    Graphics look bad and overstylized for me, mostly when considering that we are supposed to feel tied into a live action show.  I just don't think it gets the job done at all.

    Looks like more dynamic events but everyone uses guns. I would imagine this is another soloable mmo from 1 to max level again. We'll see.

    It has the same sort of massive open world as Trion's other MMO, Rift.  It also has match-made PVP, and open-world PVP, as well as PVE.

    Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.

    sifi not made a decent show in years.  The gotten away from their root, and some of the stuff the put on. They took the great show that Startgate from HBO and screwed it up so bad the finally took it of the air, putting Cladia Black on totaly screwed up the team dynamic, and Ben Browder shoud have stuck with Kriton. 

    Then they canceled caprica, canceld farscape, made bsg come up with a crapy end. 

    I don't have high hopes for this show, sifi got a track record of turning out cheep crapy shows and movies the past few years, and making terible desisions on the good shows. 

    Not to mention the graphics for defiance, seam to be lacking.

    In b4 it turns out to be another generic quest driven piece o'shit like pretty much all the mmo over the last 7 years.

     

    Being a pessimist is a win-win pattern of thinking. If you're a pessimist (I'll admit that I am!) you're either:

    A. Proven right (if something bad happens)

    or

    B. Pleasantly surprised (if something good happens)

    Either way, you can't lose! Try it out sometime!

    The fact that this is being made by Trion alone gets me interested.  The whole tie-in with the TV series and the post-apocalyptic theme just adds to the intrigue.

    Currently playing:
    Rift
    Played:
    SWToR, Aion,EQ, Dark Age of Camelot
    World of Warcraft, AoC

    Rift didn't really grab me, even though it's obvious it's a well-made title, but THIS... this looks really fun.

    I doubt the game is going to be much MMO. Probably going to be heavily instanced/phased with maps limited to around 30-40 people  and of course its going to be a quest driven pos. From the looks of it, the only thing that makes it different than any other MMO out there is the fact its a 3rd person shooter.

    This is kinda bad seeing that trion has all but dropped open world pvp from rift.

    Only had a short time with some PvP at PAX earlier in the year but DAMN. I went from "meh" to insta-buy, it was amazing. Seeing this just hypes me even more.
  • EvelknievelEvelknievel Member UncommonPosts: 2,964

    Looks pretty damn amazing to me.

    Then again I was a huge fan of Tabula Rasa despite what others may think.

    This is one game I look forward to next to the Repopulation.

    ?? I am sure I read:  "In our preview "I was playing the 360 version"

    I am looking forward to both the game (pc that is) and the tv serie, so hungry for a good new sci-fi series other then vampires, werewolfs or other supernatural type of series which I also like but man sci-fi has been on a pretty low right now and think it's time to see new tv series again.

    Have you tried turning up the Field of View? Some games allow it in their options and it can really help with preventing headaches I'm told. I don't exactly get headaches but I do get a little dizzy sometimes when playing games with a low FoV.
