-How are this games graphics ? VG has great graphics/signifigant detail  for player looks and environment and Earthrise ?

-VG has deep pve elements...quests etc...Earthrise ?

    This sounds like a school assignment.

    Until players get their hands on Earthrise and see how it actually is I don't see how this is possible in any meaningful way.

     Eventhough I really like VG this could be seen as a likeness between the games, since VG NDA was dropped very close to launch :-)

    Most times that's not a good sign. Oh well, I have hopes for Earthrise too and wish I could answer the OP:s questions!

    Vanguard is the gold standard for mmog game crafting in my opinion. Earthrise seems to have deep crafting that might rival VG's.Crafting is one of the main reasons I play VG.The pve game play in VG is deep as well.

    Therefore I could see some VG players like myself being interested in this game(and I love faction conflict if it's well done)

    So thats why I referenced VG.I didn't know ther NDA was still in place when I posed the question. I assumed this close to launch the company would be blaring the PR/Media trumpets.

    Vanguard is a pve game, the class system is made for pve group and raid,fortunatly the pvp ballance did not destroy the pve in Vanguard as it has in so many other games.

    -How are this games graphics ? VG has great graphics/signifigant detail  for player looks and environment and Earthrise ?

    Dont know.

    -VG has deep pve elements...quests etc...Earthrise ?

    As far as I know earthrise is focused on pvp Vanguard is not.

    -VG is an enormous world..and Earthrise ?

    Knowing Earthrise is pvp focused made me totally loose interest int that game, dont know.

    -Solo vs group play ?

    Vanguard is very much group raid focused game, vile you can level solo you are not able to gear up your characters unless grouping raiding. Earthrise is pvp game guess you get your gear from doing that.

    -sounds..music ?

    Vanguard has nice sound, dont know about earthrise.

    -pets?

    There are pet classes in Vanguard, have no idea about earthrise.

    other comparisons ?

    Those games should not be compared, those are totally differant it is like comparing Everquest with Sonic the Hedgehog.

     

    Thanks in advance

    Every single character in Earthrise can train up all skills available in the game, given enough time. Each skill will have a cap of 10 levels.
     


    -This game has player conflict...VG doesn't

    Earthrise has FFA-PvP and PvE-content.


    -How are this games graphics ? VG has great graphics/signifigant detail  for player looks and environment and Earthrise ?

    Look at the videos and screenshots.


    -VG has deep pve elements...quests etc...Earthrise ?

    Earthrise will have PvE-content, like quests and storyline.


    -VG is an enormous world..and Earthrise ?

    Enterra is an island the size of New York City. You'll need approx 2 hours sprinting to cross the island cost to coast. However, you can't sprint for two hours nonstop, so it's closer to 4 hours of crossing it by foot, if nothing get's in your way.


    -Solo vs group play ?

    Earthrise is designed for group-PvP, but there's no mechanics that would force you to group up, if you don't want. There's no group-instances etc.


    -sounds..music ?

    Go listen to the Earthrise soundtrack.


    -pets?

    There'll be robots. These need to be crafted tho and can aswell be destroyed like anything else in Earthrise.


    other comparisons ?

    Thanks in advance


    The both couldn't be more different to begin with.

    Earthrise is a Full Loot PvP game, I would assume FFA PvP as well.

    I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.

    Was really shocked to see this thread...the answer is...nothing.  I don't even understand how you could start to compare these two games.

     

    1.  One is fantasy, the other is sci-fi

    2.  One is centered on pve, the other is mainly pvp based

    3.  One if full loot, the other has no looting of player corpses

    4.  I'm really stoked at this forum?  We could compare Nintendo's Double Dribble from back in the day to Earthrise and find about the same amount of things similiar....

    Here's my comparison and contrast for you....

     

    Sorry for the small amount of comparison. I figure I could do more but with Earthrise not even been released OR in closed beta for anyone to have even PLAYED it yet I figured It would have been hard for me to do more.
