Looks disorientating to play in. Cool concept though.

looks like a cool concept, but the whole zero gravity thing doesn't work very well with me.. the last level from 007 Nightfire comes to mind.

This sounds cool, but my gaming PC is trashed and probably couldn't handle this anyways.
Looks damn awesome.

This is basically a flight sim with people instead of airplanes then right?  I guess it seems cool, also looks pretty good.  I'll ignore the ridiculous nature of smoke bombs and the other things being used in space, it looks pretty cool so who cares about scientific accuracey?  Also did anybody else think the logo looks pretty similar to the Mass Effect logo?

It's about time they made a game. All the stuff in the 3DMark benchmark software seems like it could have been made into a game or used as a setting in a game in the first place.
 
Game looks shiny and smexy, but only one weapon? o.o;

Forsaken and Decent tried this before and the controls just didn't work. That was years ago, this looks a lot more linear so maybe that will keep things focused.

This puts off a MAJOR Descent vibe.
 
If the game plays anything like that I'll shit a brick.

Cool concept. Reminds me of that alien space ship level in Crisis. Looks like it could get really disorienting though.

FYI anyone interested in the game, it requires DX10 to run, so Vista or 7, and the appropriate card. 
 
There's something about it using PhysX as well but I dunno how much it matters.

Looks exactly like the 'fly' cheat in any FPS game. I like the concept, but I can't imagine it being much fun. Floating in a wide open space means that shooting your attackers first takes the place of managing strategic cover. I prefer the latter, but that might just be me. 
 
Not that I'll be able to play it anyway. I can't even run Half Life 2 on my current machine.

There is/was a game being made that was an official EG battle sim.  Whether this had anything to do with it or not I don't know.

Music for the game is being done by Captain from Poets of the Fall fame - the guys who did the ending theme for Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne and the biggest band in Finland right now

There is tons of oppertunity for this game to be awesome. It all depends on the maps and the controls. It looks great from the video.

So always just remember Enders rules when it comes to playing.
 
They are standing on the ceiling.
The floor is a wall.
 
The enemy base is always down.  Your base is always up.  It's easy to get to the enemy base, go down... they have to fight to get up to you.

The game look absolutly amazing but what else should you expect from the guys that work whit the absolut cuttin' edge of computer technology.
 
To bad that my PC cant handle this game. Both my processor and graphics card are pretty far from being up to snuff for the min req.
 
Also, both Gamespot and Eurogamer have praised the game for being simple to understad and easy to get into.
 
Could this be the next Battlefield? Would be fitting since this game comes from the country next door to DiCE in Sweden. Yes, Futuremark is from Finland and you might be surprised to find out that Remedy are the ones who made the company Futuremark to handle the development of their benchmark software.

You know that's an awesome concept, but I kinda would prefer more muffled sounds like Dead Space's "Zero oxygen" environments.

Even if they do make the shooting feel better, muzzle flashes in space still bum me out.

It looks good and all but I've gotten sick of all these arena shooters a long time ago. I would seriously consider the game if it had some kind of narrative and progression.
