    now for an MMO that looks amazing - and the design is original too.

    Looking forward to this.

    I really like the setting for an mmo, sci-fi and battling against aliens.

    The graphics were a little poor, although the big alien droid did look very good.

    The developer seems to be good, but I don't know how it will work with no pvp and if it will get a load of tards in it.

    So is the combat directly under player control, or is it the usual "stand still and animate whilst calculations take place behind the scenes" type affair.

    You can probably tell by my tone that I don't much favour the latter. My very first thought when I saw it was "it looks like Anarchy Online, only with lava".

    I know that the visuals are really the least important thing with this kind of game. The mechanics are where its at, and even the "dice rolling" combat method has a lot of fans (if indeed that is what is being used).

    Wow, what a fantastically boring video. Where the hell are the sound effects? Who chose that godawful droning music? I was looking forwards to the game but this video actually managed to seriously dent my optimism.

    I lost interest in this when they changed the art style into what you see here. Just doesn't do it for me. Too dingy, dark and generic. Maybe the final game will have more variety in the environments, but everthing i've seen has been barren red and grey landscapes.

    It's all just so... derivative... aren't people bored of this sort of thing by now? MMO's just seem so meaningless... it's the whole repetitive, sit there watching comically inapropriate animations as health points/mana points/mojo whatever goes up and down...
    and it's ironic, cos you'd have thought you could use the fact there's real people everywhere to give these games some weight, or consequence, but... there just never is any, is there?
    Someday, someone'll do something good with the medium (eve is a step in a more interesting direction, i think, but it's not there yet either...) but I just don't get why this archaic sort of gameplay is pretty much the only thing there is in the MMO space...

    Whoever created the music needs shot.
