Looks good, the only weird thing was the bullets often didn't shoot at the target.
Fri Jan 14 2011 12:49PM ReportSeem eh... I want to try it but the combat just still looks bad.
Fri Jan 14 2011 1:20PM Reportyeee... maybe they should not have released that video.
Fri Jan 14 2011 2:34PM ReportI was really excited about this game especially since TR is no more but every new video I watch makes me want to play it even less. The world looks good but just something about the combat looks off.
Fri Jan 14 2011 2:46PM ReportEven though it looked very similar, even TR's combat looked more fluid and dynamic and it's a much older game. This video definitely looks better than the last one, but the combat still looks way too stiff and one dimensional.
Fri Jan 14 2011 3:08PM ReportThe ending was lame, their standing 5 feet from each other firing at one another.
If I hear good things about it when it comes out then I[object Window]ll get excited. There are other promising MMO[object Window]s coming out so we[object Window]ll see. If it doesn[object Window]t do well then it[object Window]ll become F2P withing a few months of it coming out or go under.
Fri Jan 14 2011 3:43PM ReportThis game loosk good, and exactly what I would play in, is there room for improvement, yes, there always is. But really people, this wasnt ran on a top tier rig, and small graphical problems are not big to fix, everyone really seems to be focusing on the smallest things to bother them.
Fri Jan 14 2011 3:43PM ReportThinking Anarchy online/Tr. Will probably play it no matter what condintion it starts in. Also at some point in this vid, did one of the toons try to get some crisps from a vending machine?;) If so I amk sold.
Fri Jan 14 2011 3:47PM ReportThe question is, if the machine does not deliver the crisps after a solid thump, can we open fire on it?
It never looks right to see avatars standing 5 feet apart shooting each other with aimed rifles. Even worse if after 5 seconds nobody is down or even shows an animation suggesting an injury.
Fri Jan 14 2011 3:59PM ReportWhile it doesn't look bad... It most certainly doesn't look that good either, combat appears slow paced and the effects from bullets etc need a lot of work, they don't even hit the enemies...
Combat animations are also pretty repetitive in this vid.
Fri Jan 14 2011 4:06PM ReportLooks crap. I will still try it though. I have a soft spot for these sort of games.
Fri Jan 14 2011 4:15PM ReportI really want the music from this trailer!
Fri Jan 14 2011 4:51PM ReportGraphically it looks fine, however what is up with all the rubberbanding of characters jumping back and forth as they move. If it weren't for that I would say it looks fine but that seems to be a real game breaker... also the staged fight in the video was more lame than cool.
Fri Jan 14 2011 5:39PM ReportNot no, but hell no.
Fri Jan 14 2011 6:04PM Reporttearing,rubberbunding, stiff animation,
the only plus side it that the zoneing looks amzingly well done, as you were like in an stargate epsidoe.
also it reminds me alot of TR, but TR looked 100 time better and this was like what 3 years ago?
Fri Jan 14 2011 6:34PM ReportJust scratched this one off my watch list. Sorry but games have already evolved way past this. Combat is just plain horrible.
Fri Jan 14 2011 8:07PM Reportshe's got some junk in that trunk !
Fri Jan 14 2011 8:09PM ReportThe environment looks good. The character models look nice.
These are just wasted since, "tearing,rubberbunding, stiff animation". "Combat is just plain horrible."
Fri Jan 14 2011 8:56PM ReportLike the concept but the combat doesn't look all that good
Fri Jan 14 2011 9:26PM ReportCombat was just standing around and ahooting other people who are standing around. Really disappointed :(
Sat Jan 15 2011 3:35AM ReportThis looks awful. They can't even code the network well enough for the players to move normally. The animations and battle also look horrible. The graphics are ok, but everything else seems even worse than some random super low budget chinese MMO...
Sat Jan 15 2011 4:19AM Report/facepalm
Sat Jan 15 2011 5:45AM ReportStarted off with the character models looking (mostly) ok, but then it went somewhat downhill... ending in that rather uninspiring combat sequence.
Sat Jan 15 2011 8:09AM ReportWho's smart idea was it to make a gameplay trailer when the bloody game is this laggy. Also I just don't like the running/jogging animation. Looks like a joke to me.
Sat Jan 15 2011 9:45AM ReportWhat is this crap they trying to make the game fail with these vids?
Whats with the running? Rather play a character that crawls then run like that.
Was looking forward to this not so much now.
And the end part that looked totally tactical lol
Sat Jan 15 2011 12:01PM Report/facepalm2
oh great...
Sat Jan 15 2011 1:21PM ReportHave to laugh at the comment, like most MMOs I will give it a try have no expectations and if it's fun who knows.
Sat Jan 15 2011 2:39PM ReportThat... was awful. For a game that is releasing soon, that looked absolutely terrible. The running animation looks abysmal, especially for females, but that's not a huge deal. The combat, however, looks so stiff and jumpy. Nothing fluid about it at all. That's really too bad, because the environment and most everything else looks pretty good. It's good that they are releasing something about the game before launch, but, umm... I think this video will detract people more than it will actually make them want to play this game.
Sat Jan 15 2011 4:27PM ReportWow, graphics are nice and the music was cool but the gameplay (combat) was fairly stiff. I still dont get when they are shooting point blank how its possible to miss with a machine gun. Maybe its the big helmets? Hopefully they fix up the combat and then itll be a bit of fun. Definatly reminds me of TR.
Sat Jan 15 2011 6:10PM ReportI have play time with this game. All you people that are complaining about the rubberbanding, tearing and standing 5 feet from each other are completely and totally...correct. Currently the lag is so bad that combat is very difficult due to the client freezing for three seconds every thirty seconds or at the begininng of a fight. Fighting is try to hit a laggy target, no use of cover, no use of advance tactics. Ranges are a stones throw to cater to the melee toons that do piercing damage which by passes most of your defenses. Firing on people from ambush on hill tops and simular is very difficult to make work due to having to be in a stones throw of the target to hit. TR combat was light years better.
Movement animations are horrific, looks like you are on a tread mill that is set at 2 MPH. With all the games that came out before this I really dont understand why they are going this way. Basiclly, moving in the world feels like a chore and makes you want to beat your head on the desk.
On the flip side, the skill system is pretty cool and the game has a level of complexity to its systems that give it a great deal of potential...if they can revamp the combat to be more fast passed and tactical.

Character models reminiscent of Hell Gate London?
Sun Jan 16 2011 7:13PM ReportI had to watch this video twice.
The looks seem spot on, very good scifi bloom atmospherics, I am bothered by frame rate in video, either bad aim or inproper offsets for bullets.
It looks mechanically glitchy, I am very worried about the playability. Seems they hired a triple A art team and then threw together a 2nd rate coders.
It look good but I am frightened by the mechanics as this video makes me think there will be a lot of rubberbanding.
Sun Jan 16 2011 7:21PM ReportDammit I really want this game to be fun because the theme is interesting, but fuck. The video makes the game look like dick.
Mon Jan 17 2011 2:50AM ReportI tend not to use such colorful language, but Kizzatta summed up my thoughts perfectly.
Mon Jan 17 2011 5:39AM Reportwhat are those "sparks" everywhere? grafic bugs?
and i must admit that it looks very stiff and laggy. definitely doesnt look like a "fun gameplay" to me wether the cool music or not
Mon Jan 17 2011 5:43AM ReportWtb "delete my beta application" button...
Mon Jan 17 2011 11:31AM ReportSad to see what is happening to this game.
Mon Jan 17 2011 12:54PM ReportSad to see everyone jump on an indie dev trying to make a different product.
Lets just wait and see, they have time to blow our minds yet. They should be given until launch at least before we destroy their efforts.
Mon Jan 17 2011 2:49PM ReportLooks laggy as hell.
Mon Jan 17 2011 9:32PM Reportwhy are people complaining about the game ? its still under developement,
i think it looks really good, and i appritiate the Dev's giving us a little sneak peak of how they are doing within the game atm.
I'd like to see what progress they make in the comming months
Tue Jan 18 2011 3:26AM ReportLaggy
Characters run as if they are running to the toilet
Combat just looks baaad
It's almost like they are trying to convince you NOT to buy it
Tue Jan 18 2011 3:58AM ReportNice environment, but laggs as hell. Also the animations are awefully stiff and combat seems to be very static. This game was in deveopment for too long and it obviously does not live up to the latest standards.
Tue Jan 18 2011 7:23AM ReportCombat will kill this game,
another example of range combat gone bad.
stand in one spot, spam shoot til some one goes down, no cover, no movement, ...no aiming????.. how many bullets does it take to bring something down?
do they all come from the GI JOE Marksmanship University?
wont even get into the melee part of that video.
Tue Jan 18 2011 1:11PM Reportpretty good.. looking good.
Feels like anarchy online revisited with an upgraded engine kinda :] loved it
Tue Jan 18 2011 4:17PM ReportI thought the video was lagging because of the porn I am downloading; but, then I realized it was actual game play. Nice...
Wed Jan 19 2011 2:34AM Reportthere is somethign about an MMO like this with dice rolls for combat and having two players stand face to face spamming machine gun shot that just does not work, and breaks the immersion instantly.
Guns kill, and they do it fast, every movie we have ever watched every news braudcast tells us this, so to watch two people just standing there blasting away for minutes with guns not trying to evade or duck or dodge is just stupid.
Sadly, until the technology is here that full true FPS or 3rd Persn Gears of war style game mechanics can be done in an mmo, these games are just going to suck.
Thank god for fire fall.
Wed Jan 19 2011 3:29AM ReportYou guys who like firearms in a mmo DC has a really cool rifle and dual pistol templet that blows this outdated looking mess away.
No offense to the indy devs but honestly this looks like it should be releasing in 2001 NOT 2011
Wed Jan 19 2011 7:23AM ReportThis looks like a scripted combat setup, I doubt people would stand around that close during actual pvp.
The animations look off still, but I'd assume that is not a very high priority and will probably be dealt with later..
A TR like game in a sandboxy environment? Sounds awesome.. I may have to give it a shot
Wed Jan 19 2011 9:14AM ReportIt is a Beta Game Play Video, I can forgive the graphical issues to some point, tho it is a bit late in the games stage for the Game to be this unpolished.
The staging of the gunfight is not realistic, the numbers would be more like one or two running around doing missions and four or five waiting to Gang Rape the others. It is the way all games before have been and will always be in open pvp games.
I am reminded of TR when I see this game, and remembers the days when gaming was enjoyable for pvp & pve. I feel ER will ever have that level of enjoyability. What a Shame.
Wed Jan 19 2011 6:06PM ReportLooks like they wasted a lot of money and time on this POS.
