The most exciting thing for me in that trailer was hearing the one guy's voice, the one that calls in the dropship. I think it's the same VA as the Tribes 2 announcer.
the microtransition model is proving that it can definitely work if your game is high enough quality (see league of legends)
I was going to say...
They can probably get away with just selling skins, extra characters, stuff like that. Maybe extra maps, etc, etc.
Hm. I'm not much of a shooter guy, but I liked Tribes and I thought borderlands was okay. If they put tanks and/or dropships and/or fighter planes in this game, I'll play it.
The graphics are hilariously bad, but I've seen far worse from free-to-play games. And really, I'm more interested that they get the gameplay right, which is what keeps people playing a free mmo/shooter/whatever.

The graphics are just fine. I think what you don't like is the art style, which is understandable. I kinda like it myself, but I can see why others wouldn't.
The environments are kind of bland, I agree. They're kinda sparse and could do with more foliage and interesting terrain features. Of course, that's just from watching that one video and for all I know there could be fucking awesome stuff elsewhere. I'll just have to wait and see.

Remember that the game isn't even in Beta yet. It's a safe bet that there are additional graphical bells and whistles planned.
Only 1 under dressed woman (and there's not even any cleavage!), but many bugs. Maybe they'll swap that around to make people tired of bugs happy?
And I wonder if they've confirmed my forum account manually yet, still no confirmation email...and yay, they did.
I bet your right, for the beta video the cinematic will have a fully armored woman and her group fighting off hordes of attacking mammaries. They had Breast get on that right now!

When they say free...i'm assuming they mean 'no monthly payments' and not 'no initial purchase price' ?
Noooo, it means they're going with a microtransactions model. Supposedly nothing to unbalance the game (mostly cosmetic I guess), but we'll have to wait and see.
I fail to see how they can make money doing that....
My guess is that the microtransactions money will probably be supplemented by harvesting email addresses / personal info for sale, and/or ads.
But I don't care, and will still play it, because this looks like the closest thing to a Tribes remake as I've seen recently. And I want to jetpack through the air and shoot mans with a team of like-minded chat-spammers.
League of Legends is free to play and sells skins, XP and IP (alternate currency) earning boosts, and you can outright buy stuff instead of having to use IP you earn over time. I imagine Firefall will work a lot like that. Everyone has access to all the gameplay stuff, you just get it faster if you buy it and don't look as cool if you don't spend money.

Oh, I know. I'm sure they'll add all sorts of shit and I doubt I'll have anything to nitpick about when the game comes out. I'm just over here, doin my thing, don't mind me.
I dunno, if that part with the Titan ends how it does for that guy you'll be stopping that 1 word shorter. Or not and adding some exclamation marks and capital letters.

Scott Youngblood being involved is awesome. And there are some other old Tribes guys involved in the project as well. Met Scott Youngblood @ PAX last night (CCP Party) and he was pretty cool, the Instant Action guys were buying him shots.

Ex-Dynamix team members are a big plus in my book.
This looks like it could be pretty great. I think all online-only games should use the free + microtransaction model, it makes it so much easier to get together a community and opens up a lot of ways for them to continue development indefinitely.

free-to-play too jesus christ
Like seriously, this is everything I wanted from Huxley and more.

Going to have to keep an eye on this game, for sure.
CorriganX on Steam and just about everywhere else.
An old Dynamix lead?
Wow.... This just made game of PAX for me. I will never stop playing this.
Well in the ten minute gameplay trailer there are massive robots and other dudes to fight.
So far this thread has been most of my exposure to Firefall, so I had the vague inkling that it involved bugs and underdressed women!

Yeah, I'm sold.
Edit: and then I got to the part with the Titan.
Fuck. Me.
yes
Yes indeedy. I have missed my jetpacks.
I guess I'll just have to stick to Borderlands.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
Some of the stuff I have seen is atleast hinting @ Console versions - so we'll see.
