More Firefall Footage From PAX

Ooh, I just noticed GameTrailers grabbed a developer walkthrough for MMO-shooter hybrid Firefall, which I've posted below. It shows a bunch of the weapons and abilities in action, explains how the missions and freeform stuff works, and goes into some detail on the game's hub areas. The footage explains how those provide you with new weapons and equipment, and shows how battles take place around them. It's worth noting that it's going to be a cash-item driven free-to-play game, but developers Red 5 have said that the cash items won't produce unfair benefits for individuals. It'll be interesting to see how that pans out, and we'll be talking Red 5 soon, so we can get some more detail on that and the rest of the game.

But going back to what I was saying about the quality of free online games appearing on PC now, well, when you see stuff like this, it's beginning to feel like a big deal. If Blizzard really are making a shooter for their next MMO, as was rumoured last year, then they must be looking at games like this with great interest.
