Man, only just noticed this game...was it being made under the radar?

I normally dont liek sci-fi games...but this to me looks great. Have you seen the character custimization screen? I mean...nice!:) I Also love the jetpack stuff, and the melee/ranged weapons. Hope to see more soon!

What do you guys think?

    Apparantly it was being developed on a licenced hero engine for approximately 2 years

    Yeah, they spent a good bit of time developing it before announcing that it exists. It is a 3 faction PvP game with a focus on crafting...all items in the game are player created, or all the best items are player created.

    Seems like they are going things right. They aren't spending a whole lot of time hyping the game, rather they are spending time and money on developing the game and talking to the potential players.

    There's no way to tell if the game will actually be any good, but everything sounds great so far.

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

    Since beta starts on thursday, I guess not.

    Actually there was an open invite on these forums to test the intial engine and i was pleasantly suprised not much too see but the framework looked solid infact there was no name it was just Pitchblack beta test.

    But devs were interacting and the 100 or so on the server seems to like what they saw,recently had a HD crash so not tried if any further testing ,no doubt will hopefully again soon'ish.

    I actually worked on Hero's Journey for its first few months (Simutronics game, vaporware, but the tools they created to build the game became Hero Engine).  We were operating on ver 0.8 or something--but it already had the capability of producing more in-depth character customization than any game I'd ever seen, including CoX.

    How much of that capability Pitchblack actually used, don't know.  But the engine's more than capable of handling some very serious CC.

    Might give this game a look just to see it again :)

    Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.

    Resource gathering is a lot like SWG which is awesome. Scan for a good concentration, put down a harvester, and come back in 24 hours to get your resources. 3 faction open world pvp sounds great too. Im looking forward to seeing a lot more info in the coming weeks.

    Cool was champing at the bit for Hero's journey at one point thought it was gonna be the next big thing,but at least the engine is gonna bring some MO joy.

    This may sound trivial but one aspect of the test impressed even though it was very minimal testwise,i took my toon up a mountain but unlike when you hit  an invisible wall on other games i was able to climb to the peak and the view distance was immense,at this point i had not tested the jet packs so can imagine this engine incorparteing flight mechanics with ease.

    Quite looking forward to this again after logging in account with old account this is looking pretty good,as for CC can not remember but it was a basic Alpha at the time.

    So apparenetly you can make yourself look like the enemy if you're a spy type class? that's pretty TF2 and good for an MMO. Unless I was just hearing things.
