No idea, you'll just have to read more about the game. Check out Jokers thread and the unofficial faq.
Ever play Anarchy Online?
The combat seems similar.
Certain people are even calling Earthrise Anarchy Online 2.0
Playing: Rift, LotRO
Waiting on: GW2, BP
Me too!
And if it will be fun like Neocron in its gold days, I'll have an orgasm.
AO not Neocron. Anything close to Neocron I would say be Mortal Online or Darkfall. Of course these are no sci-fi but being someone who played neocron for years these both feel like home to me.
Here is the newest MO trailer:

And yes fps combat.

AO came out before my time of MMOs , but Earthrise is definitely the closest any other MMO has gotten to Neocron. Customizable clothes, XXX bars, scifi fps combat, similar classes, overseeing government, vehicles, palyer driven economy, and more.
btw AO seems very similar to Neocron. Are there any differences between the 2?
With all the information available I'd say Earthrise will be a mix of EvE Online and Tabula Rasa.
To compare it to Neocron, it lacks the FPS-gameplay and Earthrise won't have classes either, but will depned totally on skills and equipment.
I am skeptical of not calling it a fps as they do give you the option to play in first person view. Also we do know now that they will allow an unassisted option for aiming which is similar to FPS. Really we need to wait till they release a gameplay video of their new combat mechanics before we judge if it is not really FPS.

Ah, OK. Then I'll withdraw my statement. Thanks for the information.
Well, in any case, it's closer to third person than fps. Check out this QotW and judge for yourself. I'm not totally clear on the system as is, can't wait for a new vid. I am a little miffed about the mention of assisted aiming though.
seems like it
