Preview: Global Agenda

If TF2, WoW and Planetside had a baby and gave it a jetpack, it'd be Global Agenda. Sort of.

BORDERLANDS FLASHBACK NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I NEED TO PLAY!
Really, this is what Borderlands should have been from the start, more of an MMO. It was calling out loud for that, and the sequel should have this feature, else they're not making the most out of an incredibly well structured game

God how that looks mediocre.

It actually grew a lot on me as I played and got used to the character and how the game felt - the high end PvE content wasn't SUPER, but it was a lot more interesting than the dull stuff at the beginning.

Maybe I'm just a sucker for jetpacks.

A shame they didn't have the 'MMO' part of the game up for examination; I'd be interested to see if they actually manage to make it feel like an massive world or whether its just an FPS with a meta game on top (see "End War" for the RTS with meta game on top).

Jetpacks + Guns = Pure Awesomeness

 

[gothaggis]

Jetpacks are indeed awesome...when they are part of the Tribes series. So far, I haven't been impressed with jetpack implementation in games (Global Agenda, Section 8)

Once again, John shows us that every game must be exactly like Bejeweled Twist in order to be any good. Oh my.

Yes. Exactly like Bejeweled Twist. I'm not going to even consider playing Global Agenda until they add a color matching minigame in the middle of combat that involves me rotating little gems around in order to defeat my opponents.

What the what?

 

[Distorted Stu]

Looks okaish i guess. It looks like its just smashing TF2 with futuristic elements. Not a buy for me.
Also, i lol'd near the end because the game's anouncer sounds like the voice from a HEV Suit.

Now THAT'S an idea for a game.

If something is given a jetpack, then its a Tribes reference.
I mean, Tribes (IIRC) started the whole deal with jetpacks, and deployables turrets and stuff like that. Even included vehicles.

But with what i saw of GA, tribes still does it better.

 

[ItsAPaul]

That looks pretty badass, especially if the normal game is just free to play. If the PvE ends up not sucking I wouldn't mind buying it.

 

[AquaAscension]

Yeah... my first thought has been ninja'd several times, but this game reminds me of Tribes. Which, if memory serves me right (though I can't quote where the memory originates), had a rumor about an additional Tribes game being developed by individuals. Tribes was pretty much my childhood. Something so comforting in the sound of a disc launcher.

I actually got invited into this to play the Alpha testing of the game, so it wasn't any of this pvp death match thing you had goin.
I got story and the works, it's an interesting game tbh. Much better than what it looks like.

 

[Archemetis]

I'm honestly not into the Shooter scene, besides Mass Effect and L4D I've never really even bothered to play a shooter...

But this has got me interested...

 

[BioTox]

This game doesn't remind me of WoW + TF2, it's more of Tribes + WoW - flying to kill. I grew up playing Tribes and T2. Flying around killing people was the most fun you could have in the game it's what made that game so popular in my opinion. Why can't GA let you fly and shoot disc guns... err, I mean any guns =P

I am still on the fence about buying it when it's released. I'll probably let a month go buy and then check it out. I bought into Warhammer Online when it launched and we all know how that went. I hope it's awesome though!

 

[Artemus_Cain]

So it's Team Fortress 2 with a jetpack, space marines, and no humor (I'm guessing).

...no thanks.
