Eek… those graphics are pretty bad – the individual art assets look ok, but there’s so much tiling and empty space that it ends up looking all UT2002. I’m sure there are tech reasons, like having to support 100 people, but bleh.

The gameplay looks like standard decade-old FPS style fair. Adding MMO elements to this wouldn’t do anything for me. Grinding in an MMO is bad enough – grinding in a twitch shooter is a recipe for carpal tunnel.

On the bright side – running a spaceship into a players seems to be an integral part of combat.

I like how the beta sign up has a “check all that apply” type section that allows you to only chose one…

@Meatloaf

I was going to say something similar, but you summed it up better than I would have, I think. :)

I was hoping they’d spent the extra time on giving it a bit more personality, art wise. It’s a shame that they haven’t.

Hmmm… I don’t know, I never have liked the UT-style combat of Really Fast Strafing While Shooting Rockets.

I’m more excited about Global Agenda, but that’s just me.

KEEP THIS IN MIND;
We’re talking of ijji here, who utilize rootkits and trojan horses as commonplace ”game protection”, have never harbored a game that works well, without little scriptkiddies knowing how to cheat in them, and offer absolutely no support whatsoever for their games. I have nothing but bad to say about this particular company, but i’ll likely test the game anyway, but for your own sanity, please, don’t expect anything good or great with anything that is affiliated with ijji.
