Wow.

For some reason this game never registered as something to check out, until now.

Really loving the combat you see in this vid. The twitch based combat that really gives the player more "resposibility" in the batle. Much like AoC but this seems to be fasted paced and more advanced.

I will definitelly check this game out some more.

I see it's a beta vid, is it open or closed beta? Will there be an open beta? And finally, does this game have a official release date set yet?

why do humans build, because it isn''t there

it's a demi-shooter with all the skill options and depth of an MMO.

shame this topic will be moved, TCOS if it has a sucessful release will get quite a few ranters to shut up.

I don't know maybe it's just me... but I liked it.  From what little bit of the world that was shown, I thought it was crafted well.   The combat is different, in a good way.   The interface looked cleaned and very well laid out.

As much as I love realistic artwork, I have to admit the zone is very beautiful. It seems that their art department has a keen eye for how shaders should be used, how textures ought to be laid out, and how animations should work. All in all, it makes me want to play the game more so and it quells my concerns with respect to bugs, considering how well the in-game combat worked without a hitch.

Ask a question and you are stupid for 30 seconds, never ask and you are stupid for life.

Very nice video, now I really wanna play...along with a few others I have to choose from...

 

how will I ever pick from TCOS (Which looks and sounds awesome, and raiding isn't really required which is a plus in my book), WAR (which also seems really cool and I do really like PvP), Stargate Worlds (I love stargate, and this seems pretty cool from a couple videos I've seen) and Champions Online (liked CoH pretty well, Champions sounds a lot better)

Too many MMOs to choose from lol...

it doesn't look too bad. But I got a feeling it's going to sink under the radar like anything else that launches this year because of AoC and Warhammer launching.

This game has so much going for it,its unreal. I know here on mmorpg they are avid supporters of anything american lol..Here we have a mmorpg that is unique but has very little support from pro war/aoc sites like this.

Yes, a good game will sell it self to some extent. WAR and AoC is really hyped. And while I personally like the RvR concept of WAR, that's pretty much it actually. As for AoC, for some reason I have gone from really looking forward to the game since announced, to not really care so much any longer.

But don't get me wrong, this game could be the greatest thing since sliced bread and I would still drop it the second I get the chance to step through a stargate in SGW

SGW is definitely a contender. I get the feeling that while the giants are busy hyping there game they cant hear the silent approach of  these two outsiders.
