FPS, Jetpacks, 64 players, Environment destruction

Found this little nugget on Reddit earlier. Might be worth keeping an eye on.

It's no Crysis, but meh. Gameplay could be epic. Early build should be available tomorrow according to this post.

WOOT!
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT

It sounds like a cheap knockoff.

Gameplay might be pretty good, but c'mon, even legions looks better than that.

Trees? The last thing i'd want is to crater into a god damned oak, nasty ass splinters.

Of?

[...] something like modern sky wars or somethin around those lines came out around the same tim e as tribes

Doesn't ring a bell for me. Please find the actual name.

But, neither of you is actually Abandoned. I'm still interested in what game he was referring to.

 

[Abandoned]

Of?

Legions, Tribes:
-FPS and Jetpacks.

More towards why I stated that was from the "inspired by" bit.
It SOUNDS like a cheap knockoff from these games, I'll give it time and see for myself if my statement is actually true or not.

[...] I'll give it time and see for myself if my statement is actually true or not.

Actually reading the dev's statements might help with that too.

Don't really care about the graphics here. 64 players, destructible objects, here and there a jetpack, if you add all of this up and if it runs smoothly and you dont die within 10 seconds. Then this game will be so much fun.

Interesting. Don't read anything in the graphics just yet, it looks like all you can see at this point is programmer art. If they are this early in development you can't expect a pretty scene - they probably posted this to show that they actually have -something-. And either way, it seems to run on Unreal Engine 3, so they've got aspirations. But I'm not really sure what those aspirations are...

I have no idea why they're making the game they are making, especially with UE3-powered T:A and T:U on the horizon. Their ambiguous posts kind of come across as really unprofessional as well... I don't know. I hope they know what they're doing, but I can't see what it is right now.

Cos T:A and T:U will be mainstream-suited cash makers to make up for the mediocre Global Agenda and that game (hope they name it soon) might turn out to be somewhat closer to the good old tribes and might actually provide a competetive environment?
Just my guess.

And yet another one who apparently can't be arsed to actually read the dev's comments, but nonetheless feels the need to post.

Yes. Exactly.
I've actually read them back when this thread was new, now cba. Holidays.
