So, browsing the interweb looking for stuff to do (FFXIV was patching, yes, the 94.8% bug) and I came across what seemed to be some sort of dream game, like people went in my head and grabbed jetpacks, guns, futuristic vehicles and figure hugging body suits (for the womenfolk, of course).
This game turned out to be FireFall, a new shooter MMO from some people behind WoW, and more importantly, some dudes from the Tribes team. Tribes, if you don’t know, is a spinoff from the Starsiege games by Sierra (before Half-Life). Starsiege is a Mechwarrior style game, whereas Tribes is a shooter, with Jetpacks, and Skiing. I love Tribes, especially Julia’s Jetboots from Tribes: Vengeance. So much so, I did a comic, just for you!
Your reaction is "lol wut" by the way.
Videos and more info after the break.
Anyway, I digress. Game is looking very good, from the PAX gameplay video, it seems to be a very expansive world, hate to speculate, but around halfway through, is that another squad down below doing their own mission? Graphics are from the Borderlands school of style, which means it looks good, yet doesn’t hurt your processor/graphics card much, double win! Only PvE is shown, but there is a PvP aspect which is being kept under wraps for the time being, I’m hoping it’ll be some kinda faction based warfare, massive warfare please, with vehicles and stuff. Especially massive walker mech things, they were in my brain too when you were rooting around in there!
Beta signups are now on the website here, hope it starts soon, I have the urge to strap a rocket to my back and squish bugs!
