FireFall

[Gui]

A video game project by Red 5 Studios (ex Blizzard members) and Scott Youngblood, Lead Designer of Tribes 1 & 2, FireFall is an action shooter (ie. FPS/TPS + RTS) planned for fall 2011 and although it presents almost all the characteristics of an MMO, its developpers say it's not one...

I'm as big of a fan of Sci-Fi cylinders as the next guy, but me thinks they may have gone overboard with them.

However, the gameplay looks like a Borderlands MMO, which I wholly endorse.

Ah, it lacks rocket skiing. I also spotted some ground vehicles and really big critters.

Dave Perry announced that this game is going to be free, as in free to download and free to play. The game will support microtransactions, but supposedly the game will be balanced so that it will be playable without them.

I hope they do a better job at this thing than the crew who gave us Dark Void did. That game was at average at most.

Firefall looks like borderlands and I loved borderlands! So how do you register for the beta? I clicked the link provided in the TC post, but it is just forum registration???

Dunno: my rig cannot handle such game so I didn't even bother, but you should be able to find some clues in the FAQ. The link on the official site main page goes on the same page than the one I gave in the OP message though...

Seriously not impressed with the character and armor (esp) design. Pass.
