Is it streaming already? I am currently arguing with my NoScript which scripts I should allow to make the stream run.^^

The biggest hurdle for games like Firefall, Planetside 2 or End of Nations are to bring people from Battlefield, Call of Duty or Starcraft and such to hopefully more massive games, because people seem to buy games mostly because of brands.
Add to this Battlefield already allows a 32 vs 32...or was it 64 vs 64?

So it is going to be an uphill battle versus EA and ActiBlizz.
So it depends mostly on us consumers IF the games are good, to spread the word.

Well it's F2P and I believe it's modeled after TF2 in that regard... so it's already got a leg up on the bloated franchises that ask you 50$ for 8 hrs of a barely interactive movie that doesn't even have Colin Farell starring.

Aditionally, its persistent, event driven PvE world offers more gametime for the price (which is 0 $) Then you add in e-sport PvP and pretty strong hints of world PvP coming up soon... If they manage to pull it off technically, I think we'll hear much more of Firefall in the future.

I'm not getting the comparison to Planetside 2 here, planetside a game 8 years old now dwarfs that.

nomss

hasn't this thing been in beta for more than a year now?

Dolmong

Will this game ever release??!!!

This looks really great, can't wait to get in and give it a whirl.

Would have been nice to see some PvE mixed in there, but the game looks like its coming along nicely.

Looks like a really fun game, but more like Call of Duty or something, rather than an MMO

Hmmmm not liking the cell shaded character models with black lines around them, hope they sort that out!

damn  Im kinda mag i didnt make it into the vids.  Im in the beta  but I may have just missed the time  the devs were recording on.  But yep the game is fun  no doubt about that.

More intrested in the whole open world thing then this "battle zone"  thing, its nice its in a game but there so many shooters out there that this will be the least important thing in firefall for me.

Considering they still need o work on openworld pve and  stuff before being able to show it I belive firefall has put thier focus on the wong part of the game, sure e-sport and shooters are populair but these are very temporal tings, its the larger world around it that will ultimately make or break the game. GA still runs but eh..its a fan niche game now , when is the last time we  saw someting about that game?

I don't think it will be really competing with those games, different style of FPS. Firefall is more like TF2 or UT, I doubt it will ever pull the core fanbase of those games away.

Game looks awesome but I am getting a little sick of these cartoon graphics. 'Originality' is becoming over used.

Seem just like normal FPS game to be honest.

 

Closed map , even small teams.  Erm...
