The first thing through my mind was 'Tabula Rasa.'

Very nice! The graphics are actually really good. I'm genuinely quite excited about this game!
And yeah, it's definitely a bit Tabula Rasa-esque. But then a Sci-Fi MMO, much like all the Fantasy MMOs, is gonna look similar to many other Sci-Fi MMOs.
Warhammer Online, Warcraft, EQ 1 and 2, Vanguard etc
WAR and WoW have slightly simpler colour palettes and EQ2 and Vanguard edge more towards the realistic but they're essentially all very similar. You'll see some elves, you'll see some goblins... maybe a castle and a dungeon.
So similarly I'm not surprised Tabula Rasa and Earthrise look similar.
In any case, the graphics look slick and the game play sounds right up my street (mainly because it basically just rips off SWG) so I'm looking forward to this one :-)
MMOs played (In order of how much I've liked them): Star Wars Galaxies, World of Warcraft, Vanguard, City of Villains / Heroes, Guild Wars, Warhammer Online, Age of Conan, Tabula Rasa, Anarchy Online, Ryzom, Final Fantasy XI, Matrix Online, RF Online, Rappelz, Hero Online, Roma Victor
The screenshots shown look nice.
Been waiting for this game a long time.
Played : WOW, LOTRO, COH/COV, EQ2, SWG, and WAR.
Playing EVE Online and AOC.
Wtg for SW:TOR and WOD
Yeah me too. I got an insta DeJaVu with Tabula Rasa hehe.
Still they look nice tho. Let's hope this game has more lore and content then Tabula Rasa.
The style there using is actually quite common these days. Auto-Assault, Mass Effect, Tabula Rasa and even Star Trek Online. I for one quite enjoy it:) As for the game itself.. eh.. Not sure. Ill have to see.
Yea but see the thing is, there are games like "Stargate worlds" that remind of tabula rasa in all the wrong ways, and then there is this game that reminds me of Tabula rasa in all the right ways.
Stargate worlds looks like a lame third person shooter knock off, but this looks like a genuine Sci-Fi MMO. Plus remember it will run much better than TR because they have been making the game to look like this from the start and not half way through the development time.
Well, lets hope it does not play the same as TR.

When in doubt, troll.
MMO gamers need to start understanding that the quality of graphics have nothing to do with gameplay, stability or features. It's been ten years so far, and MMO gamers still look at a screenshot or concept art and somehow predict the future of the game's success based on it.
EDIT: I want to make clear that I am not making any statement as to how the game will or will not run at release, only that stating such based off a single staged screenshot is absurd.

i just thought the exact same thing
hope it doesnt turn out like that game did to meny flops these days is definitly bad for buisness.
I dont mind if it looks similar to TR. TR's issue wasn't the graphics and imo it had some very cool looking gear. Earthrise is steadily creeping up the ranks in my most watched list. Funny enough its all Sci-fi for me now. Jumpgate Evolution, Earthrise and far behind those two are a couple of others. Fantasy games are just not delivering lately.
I just hope that they add more colors to the game than just the ones i keep seeing, green's and browns !
Woah, seriously? I though Tabula Rasa's graphics were inexcusably primitive.
Do you just mean the way they envision futuristic technology?
Flora and soil tends to be.
Looks real nice.
I hope it won't be tunnel running, but you can actually go into the jungle.
The turrets look really nice and I really think these are NPC guards for the Noir guarding an outpost. The terrain looks really smooth and the guns. I AM LOVING THOSE HELMETS! Kinda like fallout4 helmets in a way.
I too did get the TR thought also.. I guess it should be given that it might look like TR since they are both sci-fi.
Nice and shiny!
Just the way I like them. Now I just hope the gameplay is just as good
Haha, same here. First thing I though was "hey wait a sec, isnt that TR?"
