Tabula Rasa trailer

Qhue · 03-07-2007, 06:02 PM

Tabula Rasa trailer from GDC:

I didn't really know anything about this before I saw that trailer other than it was Lord British's baby, but that actually looks like it might be a more engaging version of Planetside

Looks good, and OMG its not High Fantasy?

Praxus · 03-07-2007, 06:08 PM

I haven't been following this game, so this is an MMOFPS?

Digits · 03-07-2007, 06:11 PM

There's a few very impressive stunts in that trailer, specifically the super dash towards the end and anything dealing with space ships.

Hmm, Garriot, have you come around to bring flavor to the rpg world once more?

Richard Garriott.
What's the word on the street with this bitch.

Looks good, game is basically completely redesigned from when I first saw it at E3 a few years ago. Was uninspired back then but this looks FUN. The buzz coming out of E3 last year was pretty solid; I did'nt stop to play but people on the stations seemed to be having fun.

Agreed, bring on the shills, I want to know more.

Biggest thing I want to know is whether it'll be auto-lockon or require actual aiming. MMO's have never been notoriously good with sycning issues making actual aiming a bitch...but auto-lock on and all you're really doing is replacing "Fireball" with "Rapid Fire"

Not that I'm complaining mind you, I look forward to any non-fantasy based MMO as a diversion.

Yeah. MMO - Fantasy = works for me too. Big fantasy fan but you know a change is good from time to time.

I hope for whoever is working on this that it ends up being good, I think they're at their 3rd iteration of the game by now. It's going to beat Vanguard in terms of development time spent; it's been in dev since early 2001. Just hoping this does'nt end up being NC Soft's Daikatana.

Looks meh. There's mech-fired missiles in that trailer hitting a guy in the chest, and the explosion doesn't vaporize him. Whatever.

At least if a fireball hits you in the chest, if you survive it you can claim the wizard was only 5th level and had just learned the spell.

Obviously he was saved with his elete armor of missle avoidance.

Anything that doesn't have elves and dwarves in it is a welcome addition to the genre...here's hoping it plays as good as it looks.

Mythas · 03-07-2007, 06:37 PM

Meh its space age, so there is alot of advances in space armor. It could be something like an energy field that gets drained ala halo. Hell if i know.

I love my high fantasy but slaying teh dragon over and over and over and over with legolasz and drizzittt can even use a change now and then

Jait · 03-07-2007, 06:56 PM

The only question I have had for this game is how progression will be handled.

I really want to see a game use MMO progression in a FPS world and succeed. If anyone can do it, it's Lord "Muthafuckin'" British.

I idolized the guy when I was younger. Hell, I entered a contest to come visit his castle FFS. The man is due to surprise us once again. Here's hoping it's Tabula Rasa.
