Now, combat looks pretty much the same as in the older video, guy with knives in front of him is the same r3tarded model from first video,who- I think alone-makes this video horrible.  Explosions and shot graphics and animations seems to have been taken from alpha version of Anarchy Online. Jumping animation is horrible.

 

Verdict: after all the delays, the only improvment since last video is somewhat better graphics and textures, everything else is the same - no addition to content at all. So what does it tell us? - it tells us that they have been wasting their resources on Fallout MMO. No wonder they didnt want to release the video for so long, there was just nothing new to show. "Good Job" for taking such a bad risk. 

It took them almost a year to release the promised video, it will take them another year to release beta, and another to release the game, in case MSH hasnt been watching movies- the world is going to end in 2012, so they better hurry up.

Since when do games get graphic overhauls before they even go live? WTF were you expecting?

Jesus F***ing Christ, do all you people just care about graphics and animations? Go play FFXIV and quit bitching about an indie game with limited funding not having ground breaking visuals or a MoCap Studio.

As long as the game launches relatively bug free, with all the promised sandbox systems implemented and unbroken PVP; I'll be playing. When I play LOTRO or some other themebox quest grind, I expect eye candy. Without it, whats the point? With a sandbox, when I play EVE most of the time I'm looking at squares and loving it.

Gameplay>Graphics anyday.

I'm glad they haven't been spending all their time making the game pretty, means they've probably been working on the actual game.

Edit- Just wanted to add, you probably think Avatar is an amazing movie and if you ever saw The Seventh Seal or Ikiru would probably bash them for being in black and white, because based on your posts it seems like you're that very special sort of shallow.

This looks like pre-alpha footage to me.

They need to do one of two things:

1) Spend another 2 years at the very least to give this game the much needed development.

OR

2) Scrap the game entirely, save their money, and make childrens board games until they have the $$ to start another project.

I'm almost embarrassed for Masthead. They really screwed the pooch on this one if they release this anytime soon.

Thank you all for your feedback on the video! We were excited to finally share it with you. As many of you have pointed out, we are still in beta testing, and therefore the video does include some animations and graphics that need to be polished before the final release, but hopefully it was still a valuable snapshot of Earthrise. With regard to the aiming v. targeting system, players in Earthrise have a choice between free crosshair mode and locked crosshair mode, and there is no autotarget or locked target assistance. Please let us know if you have other questions about what you’ve seen in the video, either here or over at our official forums. Your comments are very valuable to us, as they help our team with the continued development of Earthrise in preparation for release.

Was looking foward to this game...but that combat does not look remotely fun.

Shit, I completely agree. I have been looking forward to this game for a lonnnng time. I think that the art direction, the environmental graphics, etc look just fine. The animations and the combat are just flat out horrendous. Damn. I hope they SERIOUSLY revise the combat and animations or this game won't make it. I wish them the best.

I am concerned about the lag.....

Hey,     Stop replying to my posts they are fkn pointless! Kinda tired of you and Joker constantly whitewashing ER. I love the concept MHS wants to bring and do hope ER succeeds but so far they havent done A THING to improve it or actually show anything theyve promised, thus i wont be sitting here hoping that if i make up fairy tales about this game it will somehow get better. ER devs havent improved anything in the game except for some new models and graphics. Read all posts from those who saw that PVP video, THERE IS NOTHING TO ENJOY in that PVP that looks like bunch parapelegics running around .

 I dindt say anything about Graphics, in fact graphics are not bad even though engine is showing its age somewhat. Animation is pure garbage there is simply NO good gameplay with sh1t animation, only graphical issue i complained about is the firing animation and graphics, it looks like it was taken out of an 8bit game. ANd again, your wrong about me and my interests: I have actually seen and stil watch many foreign and older movies, some of which are actaully black and white. Pretty much anything for the past 5 years coming out of Hollywood is also garbage.

Its great that Atanasov is relying on feedback, but lets see here..... these complains were already voiced after the first video release, people were saying that combat looks slow and clumsy,  this is a major let down that it hasnt been improved already, Have we all entered a dejavu paradox and first video with clumsy animations doesnt count?

Awww.. Combat sucks!

If this video is the best the company has to show then there's alot of problems with the game already.

If this was made by fans i would consider it a "beta video" and leave it at that, but a company made video that's so bad?

Not a good sign at all.

They're a tiny independent game studio out of Bulgaria.  I think a lot of people forgot that peice of trivia.

Well, i thought it was awsome. above my expectations. If latency isnt to much of an issue i'm all over it.

Things that annoyed me was, as everyone else stated. The running animation for close combat wepons. I also didn't like the running animation on the launcher. They didn't have to make one for them specifically.

That video had failed written all over it. Character movement looked awful. Environment looked awful. Skill animation looked awful. Framerate looked awful. UI looked awful. I mean damn even the music was awful. They better make some drastic improvement because this looks awful ^^

I completely agree with the above post. I was hyped about this game until this beta video. I do hope for the best though!

Ditto. Been following the game for a long time now... I was really burnt by that video.

Looks clunky at best.

It makes you think: What where they doing all this time? Atleast for the past year (when new video was promised), during the past year theyve only showed us new models, which makes you believe that all they have done during that year is make new models. 

Again that points to them working on Fallout Online at the same time as ER.

Looks like a game with wide open feilds and clunky character animation lol..

Will still give it a shot especially since they announced a publishing partner and stuff.

I guess you forgot they'll also be asking for your hard earned cash in 2011, or did you come here to be a good samaritan and simply give your money away to dev charities? No, didn't think so. I couldn't care if they were developing Earthrise in a mud-hut somewhere in the 3rd world, if they want my money i want to know what im getting in return.

You want expensive CGI movies instead of a game?

Besides, name one game where actual gameplay footage seems fun. A game that is released, that is.
