Has anyone gotten into any of the betas for those yet?

I haven't heard a thing from any of them, and gettin' kind of anxious to play.

By the way, I've heard some people call these fpr's for first-person role playing--is that becoming the standard way to describe that kind of play with fps-style play but with the camera view from behind the player so you can see your character's body and sword/weapon position in melee combat?

It would be a lot easier to just be able to say fpr instead of trying to describe it, but of course that ain't going to work if no one knows what you're talking about.

You guys aren't helpful--no, no, no, maybe, yes, yes -- we wanna know which ones are starting to take people!

You just like to sit on the inside and watch those of us on the outside suffer

How about the fact that all those games are still under NDAs and releasing the name of the game would be breaking the rules.

I have made it into one of those and I know for sure that two are taking people already. To be honest all three should be at the stage where they are picking beta testers but I haven't been keeping up with them to be positive of that.

How is that for being vague?

Can't specify the game, all I can say is that I'm well impressed.

All of the above beta are only accepting people with high end computers.

At least, that is the consensus from the people I know that have been excepted.

So if you want to get into betas go buy a new rig.

I think my rig can handle them, but what do you think are the minimum requirements?
