This looks really interesting.  Could be the first free-2-play I may actually try.

This looks bloody lovely. I thought it was kinda Borderlands to begin with, but the attack near the end was pretty special. Keeping an eye on this one. Lovely concept art on the official site too.

Ugh. Looks like a bad mix between Borderlands and Halo. Basically. Generic shooter 101.

I was put off by the bugs because they looked Borderlands-ish (well, I guess all space bugs look the same now regardless of game), but everything else looked pretty impressive. The only other thing I would nitpick at would be the armour on the characters, which is just not my cup of tea. Game looks great, though.

@nxau Wow, really? This game is being made by the lead designer of Tribes, one of the grandfathers of multiplayer shooters.

Looks very interesting though I doubt my PC can handle it. I'm also getting a real Starcraft/Borderlands vibe from it which I don't see as a bad thing since I like those games.

Well it looks nice but I'll wait to see what they add to it that makes it worth coming back for more. Till then, makes me think third-person Borderlands but without the gun craziness.

Haha, loving the whole "OH GREAT ANOTHER GENERIC FPS" thing when the video clearly shows it's also an MMORPG. That's not something you can really overlook. You see it when you look slightly down..

Well, it cetainly looks like a thing... but it also looks like a really early look at a game that probably won't improve a great on the things that aren't great.

They made borderlands 2! the idea of random invasions in town is cool.
 
Is it just me or did they rip off starcraft with the logo at the end?

It's so lazy to compare one game to another game for having similar art styles.

I really love it when self important morons misuse the word "generic" and apply it to very distinctive things. it gives me a thrill.  I'm sick that way. I have pills for it but i never take 'em.

This game looks rad as hell.  it's being designed by the lead designer of Tribes 1 and 2, how awesome is that?
 
Also it's free to play.

Looks like Borderlands, but it doesn't seem like it plays like it. Definitely keeping an eye on this if it's free to play.

This may be our Huxley. And it looks MUCH better than Huxley. 
Its been over a year since the CBT event of Huxley, and there hasn't been any updates. 
 
I wouldn't mind playing this.

Actually it's an FPS/TPS hybrid with an open persistent multiplayer world (MMORPG or MMO at least). and the art is snazzy and 'kind of cel shaded'.  
 
It looks pretty damned good to me.

I wonder how much you can rip off Borderlands without being sued.  Well Firefall is going to find out.

Way too many people are taking things at face value on this site, do some research before you start assuming. After all this is a wiki site.

Looks like it needs work, but so far, from what I've seen, it looks like it could be good.  
Having said that, apart from the cel-shading, and the giant robot boots, there's little to keep this in my mind.

Waaaay too many people are comparing this game to Halo.  I don't see it, personally.  Maybe someone could point it out?
 
This game has its roots more in Tribes than anything else.

You can tell it's a MMO by the way they don't overstrain themselves trying to shorten the travel times.
