Animations need work.

Oh well, as people say, it's not all about graphics...

It looks like Tabula Rasa, sure, but the game world is far better and doesn't look nearly as restricting. I can tell they are making progress from their last videos but they either need to really pick it up and get a lot more work done on this or don't hype it too much.

I was skeptcal when I heard about this initially and still am but that doesn't mean I'll never give it a chance.

i heard about this game but never really looked into it.  it needs work but the combat looked pretty good.  is it going to be a sandbox?

I think it looks pretty good.  I like the UI elements...not too flashy with bright colors which is more confusing to my eye in the heat of battle.  Combat and graphics look good enough, but hard to really say without actually playing the game.  It will all boil down to gameplay with this game because I don't see any other element as the hook.  That is to say, nothing in particular stands out which could make for a very mediocre reception when the game launches.

It has a sandbox economy and the major factions look like players, not NPCs. Not sure about PvP whether it is zone specific or just anywhere.

Well if they ever have a 2 week trial I might give that a whirl other than that noty.Well heres to hoping Global Tribes turns out decent til Firefall  hits.

Why not just re-launch TabulaRasa and call it TabulaRasa Redux, add a few more zones and voila...

Sorry for being cynical, but I don't see how this game is gonna pull a different market crowd than what TR did and sadly failed, unless the publisher is actually aiming for a small market share with cheap continuous development... I dunno seriously.

Combat looks slow and clunky.  

MOB AI...was there any?

World looks pasted together.

Animations....

Game needs a lot and I mean a lot of work.   The only thing that caught my eye was the trees...in the one scene that they actually had trees...the trees look good.   Keep working on the rest.

I agree needs a lot of work. Maybe another 2 years in oven. if they released it any sooner its gonna fall flat on its face.

Earthrise is open FFA PvP with varying degrees of NPC security much like EVE.

All items in ER are crafted.

There are no instances.

There are no levels.

There are no classes.

The game's central feature are the "contested territories" which can be conquered and controlled by player organizations.  These lands provide valuable resources for the owners to mine which can then be used in the construction of more powerful technology.  Also, conquered territory can be built upon.

ER in a nutshell.

What are the numbers next to the targeted characters? Masthead (100) and Deconstruction Drone (70)

Battle rating, a number derived from your equipment and your skill proficiencies directly related to that equipment.

It's just a visual aid.

The game was announced a little less than three years ago wasnt it? And isnt this an indie company?

Come on guys, lets give it some time, this is one of the first gameplay footage vids they have showed, and its not all bad. I laughed once and went "WTF?!" at least twice, thats not too bad in my book.

Whenever I try to play the video, it's always messed up looking.

Animations do 'not' look great, but remind me of the very stiff, non-fluid animations I saw of Xsyon 6months ago.

Game-play does 'not' look great, but clunky.

Graphics do 'not' look great, but I am assuming they were 'low' resolution.

Environments do 'not' look great, but sterile.

I am glad that someone is brave enough to release footage so we know things are still in-development, but be honest, things are 'still' in-development. 

Granted this was a very brief look/view, but if it's their best representation at this point in time, I could understand if they need another year to really make game-play, mechanics, environments, and overall coding more robust, clean, polished, smooth, etc.

No its not the first gameplay footage. Another gameplay footage was posted an year ago which was as bad as this one and got same reactions. Nothing has changed over the year i guess. They can have all the time they need. I am anyways never in favor of rushing the release.

On paper this game sounds perffect for me. I think the video looks promising. But as with all MMO's for now on. I will not purchase it until the reviews come in. It might fail completely, im not blinded, but I hope it works out.

This is what I was gunna say pretty much.... Kinda looks old. But this is BETA..things..might improove..doubt it..but hey ho.

PVP looks pretty fun to me.  I will admit the animations can use a good overhaul, but luckily for me I put game play way ahead of graphics and animations.

I saw a lot of potential for the game. Yes, the world is blend but who gives a crap as gameplay should be their first and most important item on their agenda for improving. Yes, animations were clunky but from the tads i could see not including the melee animations they got the right idea. Taking into weight and how you would move with a gun they were really close or spot on.

People remember you can choose between free aim or lock it is totally up to you. 

You guys wanted a video well here is your video and now a lot of you are saying ohhh maybe they should not have showed a video! WTF?!?! make up your mind people!
