Lee Hammock, the Lead Game Designer on the upcoming post-apocalyptic MMORPG Fallen Earth, sits down to answer Garrett Fuller's questions.

MMORPG.com:

With all the fantasy MMOs that are out, you have a unique genre on your hands. Give us some insight into the world of Fallen Earth.

Lee Hammock:

Fallen Earth is set in 2156, one hundred years after the world is brought low by a plague known as Shiva that killed 99% of the population. The game takes place in and around the Grand Canyon, one of the few habitable places left on Earth, which makes it a place many are willing to kill to control. Our world is one where mankind teeters on the edge of extinction, clinging to the bones of the old world while trying to recover their lost secrets. It's a world of scavengers and desperation. The players are those who choose to rise above the hardships of this new world and work towards a better world, or decide the old world was corrupt and all signs of it must be erased completely.

You can read the whole article here.

Looks Not!

I hate to be one of the nay sayers, but I just couldn't resist on this one. Ugh! Looks like Mel Gibson mated with a teenage mutant nija turtle game.

Sounds interesting.  Though I wonder if they had an agreement not to mention Fallout or Wasteland in the interview.  Because it is going to be hard to avoid comparisons to those games (well, Fallout at least as I bet most people don't even know about Wasteland, the best game of the 1980s).

Has successfully forgiven SOE/LA for the NGE.

Graphics wise, it looks plenty hot to me. From the videos, the animation looks decent enough as well.

I hope (in vain) that people won't continue the vein of comparing FE to Fallout as this game comes closer to release. It ain't like Fallout was the first post-apocalyptic game ever; they didn't invent it. Let's perhaps instead let this game stand on it's own merits.

I for one am looking forward to it.

Oh, how observant! You must be a detective!

I think It could be good. I like to see developers go this route for game setting. I hope they can pull it off. I would like to see something based more towards gamma world.

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world. Those that understand Binary and those that do not.

The graphics may not even be fully completed either, they are still in testing. They also may be going the wow route of lesser quality characters in favor of the fps mode to allow for more on screen drawing of environment and other characters. Still alot to see yet from this team and this game, I look forward to it ever since 1st hearing about it over a year or so ago. They've come along way since the 1st newsletter.
