Been anticipating this game since the contest to win a beta key was on here, looks good!

 

[Jursa]

While I wish them the best of luck and hope they make an awesome game. I've grown to be very very very sceptical about MMOs especially after so many fps ones have been made and have completely failed (Tabula Rasa, Hellgate London).

 

[Undead Dragon King]

Never heard of this game before, and I'm in all likelihood not going to play it. I've already sold my soul to TOR.

 

[waringpepper]

hey does it come out in the u.k ?

 

[Doug]

I saw this game on the contest here, and liked the look of it. I've signed up to try and get on the beta, but we'll see if it pans out well. I do hope it manages to get off the ground and doesn't go the way of Age of Conan (which was abit crap to me in all honestly and is rapidly dying), nor the way of Tabula Rasa. Especially as its partly an MMOFPS, and they are so very few.

Did you at least get a receipt just in case?

When I first read about Fallen Earth I thought it looked awesome, but your probably right, I shouldn't get my hopes up. I played a trial of Tabula Rasa and enjoyed it... for a few hours.
Still, being a big Counter Strike Source fan, and a begrudgingly addicted WoW player, the concept of a FPS MMO makes my gamer brain light up like an irradiated christmas tree.

 

[SoonerMatt]

Iiiiiiiiiiiinteresting.... The graphics don't really look like the best available, but considering they're still developing the game I'm sure it'll look infreakingcredible when they're done with it.

I'm not a huge MMO fan, but I was hooked on Fallout 3 like no other, so I may have to cross the void and look into this.

Indeed - we can but hope it will be the choosen one of gaming (according to the prophets of Bill from accounting)

 

[Satki]

If I'm depserate for my fix of next gen brown - looks like I now know where to get it

 

[TwistedEllipses]

The apocalypse never gets boring...

 

[Mrsoupcup]

That does look like a fallout MMO....

 

[Aracnop]

At 2:25 you can see a crater and some smashed airplanes, Megaton anyone?

 

[Taawus]

I'm looking foward to that, I wish there were more MMOFPS's.

 

[SomeBritishDude]

Oh a Fallout MMO!

 

[Milkman Dan]

C.H.O.T.A. sounds awfully like "shota." If you don't know what I'm talking about, be thankful.

I wikipedia'd it, and am sorry I did - listen to the man!

 

[Disembodied_Dave]

I like how the guy at least admits that this game will steal your sould. That's pretty nice of him.

 

[Aegwadar]

I'll take trying it with a grain of salt. I just hope the community ends up a good one, Much like what keeps me on LOTRO. It keeps the games healthy, but don't get me wrong, a good story line is also good Looks very original in the sense of MMO's. I think it will open the door for Zombie MMOs!! So, hell yeah..
