cinematic

gameplay

acording to the FAQ it will be free and free to play but with a market place which wont alter the skill based nature of the game

no mention of pvp as far as i can find but its from the lead designer of tribes 1&2 so i'd expect there to be pvp

most mmos probably will be in the future.

who would have imagined lotro & eq2 having free to play servers? a few other mmos have trial accounts with level caps rather than beeing time limited
 
There had better be a decent pvp set up though otherwise it's just borderlands

Or it could be Borderlands without god awful combat. If someone could cross Borderlands with the combat from Halo Firefight I wouldn't need any other games.

Fingers crossed on this one.
 
That's not an mmofps...it's an mmotps :p /pedant

EDIT: oh maybe not, later in the video it changes to first person, doh looks good though
 
Genuine question, why is it a shame that its free to play? Is it cause there wont be much support if they dont get a steady revenue stream or something?

People are probably worrying about item shops with imba items and power ups. They'll need to make money somehow, so they might even charge you for certain quests/parts of the game like a few others have.

Aren't games like Guild Wars free to play though? (I think there is a store but they dont charge for ingame items only for things like extra slots and cosmetic things?)

But I guess this is probably more open environment?

And "imba items" = Imbalanced Items?

the faq says the shop wont effect the skill based nature of the gameplay so it will either be stuff you can get ingame anyway or cosmetic crap
 
either way that won't make them money.
needs to be the D&D model really (pay for some quests etc with bonus items)
looks good, will be playing this
