    I've been following this one for a while, and I hate to say it, but I'm not hopeful. From where it started, as a Planetside with more dystopia and quasi-RPG elements, it's lingered in development for far too long. From all I hear, it's slowly degraded into Yet Another Team Shooter with minimal interesting qualities.
    Oh well. Here's hoping that someone else will make that SciFi FPSMMO we're all really looking for.
    Well, me and the fourteen other guys, that is.

    I think MAG and Huxley should have a race to see who can release first.
    Also has anyone noticed that this might turn out into another Infamous vs. Prototype thing?

    ... Huxley VS Global Agenda?
    Whichever comes out - which is still long off for both - will get the most amount of bitch slapping from the ex-Planet Side crew of this and that and that.

    I was a member of the closed Beta about a month ago. It's not a bad game. The rpg customizations + fighting as an FPS works alright. What annoyed me about the game was the art style and engine. The game flew on my system but it looks like Gears of War's ugly cousin. Why couldn't the devs give the game it's own unique look? Does the Unreal engine force devs to fight against it to stop their games from looking the same?

    @davincij:
    Here's my take on it.
    Think of the Unreal engine as the collection of genes to make you look like... Whatever, let's say black guy.
    So you can make some changes somewhat easily, namely make it so that your skin is "white".
    However, it'll take a hella lot more to make you Be like a white guy in the genetic sense, with a lot of potential to dog it all up on the way there.

    Can't get the captcha key to load for some odd reason. I turned all my AV and firewall stuff off and still no dice. Oh well, from the negative comments I'm reading it probably wouldn't be worth it anyway.

    Cool, will be checking this out later. They could really do with marketing the game a bit though, there's been no news or new screens, etc, etc in ages.

    I won't feel judgmental, though here in Sweden Nazism is srs bsns. We know very well how jews suffered.


    But the korean dudes are all right. We need to start laughing about them sometime. It's the only way we can start using the swastika again.

    I'd actually imagine that Koreans don't like Nazi's because they were friends with the Japanese who they hate.

    @Lyuse: It's more like they probably just don't care, because it didn't immediately affect them. Over here we just hate everything axis because they ALL were killing us. (here being the US, the British probably wouldn't care about Japanese imperial soldiers or anything)

    On another note, I just noticed that Kotaku updated to look like the other Gawker sites. It's nice and all, but what about bringing back the "comment" shortcut on the coverpage?


    Back on topic: That is arguably the most homoerotic series of pics that I have seen in a while.

    Yeah, Koreans don't really have the same aversion to Nazis that we have. Koreans hate the imperial Japanese. Basically, the American equivalent here would be a bunch of guys cosplaying as soldiers from Meiji era Japan.


    I saw two or three Nazi themed stores in my two years in Korea, including the Hitler Cafe. There was also a little Boutique in Pohang with a full Nazi flag and an SS uniform in the front window. It was named something offensive, but I don't quite recall what.
