Well at least the stillsuits look better than the one's in the new film, not that they had to be that great to look better mind you.

"I can’t fathom why Funcom has played their cards so close to the vest at this stage of development"

I can. It's because a lot of the demo is smoke and mirrors. If you were allowed to go hands on you'd find how narrow the rails are and they're just not ready for that yet. There's not a logical alternative. If the game was rock solid, nothing would stoke the hype train's boiler more ferociously than letting some gaming journos go hands on and write articles. The fact they're not allowing that speaks volumes.

"Funcom has spent a lot of time working on successful implementations of melee combat, so they are confident it can be added later." So melee is going to suck...

Is this an actual MMO ?

Just feels like a re-skin of Conan Exiles.

But we have got sand dude, sand.

I actually liked what I saw, but I have mentioned before that the environment may get monotonous, just sand and dunes and more of the same.
