So how many of you guys can't wait for Tabula Rasa

It's going to be the second MMOFPS coming out and among the first MMOs (along with Conan and Chronicles of Spellborn) to design npcs who will be proactive in attacking some of your locations.

I just saw their first trailer after their make over from an MMORPG to an MMOFPS and it's great.

Links please.

So which Arnold are they modeling Conan after?

LimpBIT · 2006-05-04, 06:08 PM

ummm sorry to tell you Mhute but TB is not an FPS. I made the mistake of thinking that too. It would rock if it was, and it still looks cool, but unfortunatly its not

edit: Or did they go through with that MMORPG-->MMOFPS thingy?

Kyonye · 2006-05-04, 06:36 PM

I would have to chose the second one, Ivan.. only because is the governator..

Yes they went the FPS route but will definately have more of an RPGish feel with the acquirement of new abilities for your class.

Ivan here's your link.

I suggest you watch their first preview trailer after scrapping the original rpg game for an fps style MMO.

It's drool inducing and rewatchable because there is so much info to take in even if it is a little over 2 minutes long. It's even better than that Band of Brothers video made for planetside by the Syndicate IMO.

MMO FPS with NPC combatants for teh lose.

Giovanni · 2006-05-04, 08:03 PM

Is it like fucking neocron where you could be at point blank and shoot a full load of ammo and nothing hits because the fucking RPG style FPS determined your roll wasn't high enough?

If so. They can bite my shiny metal ass.

LimpBIT · 2006-05-04, 08:27 PM

yea if its like that people will die. Thats why im waiting for HUXLEY. you get new skills depending on your level, but you can still take down people WAY higher level if you are good enough.

Mag-Mower · 2006-05-04, 08:34 PM

Why doesnt any one ever remember Endless Ages, that is the first MMOFPS with true RPG elements.

Infernus · 2006-05-04, 10:50 PM

A black girl in my class is named Tabula Rose... she really isn't that exciting.

She's actually kinda a turn off.

Really, you look at her you wanna die... if you hear her speak you wanna die faster.

Ivan · 2006-05-04, 10:56 PM

But doesn't the fact that she has a vagina a turn off to you?

""Our game is not a first person shooter ***8211; it***8217;s an RPG. Unlike most RPGs, I***8217;ll use WoW as a case study, where you acquire a target by clicking on it then you look at your user interface, fireball, fireball, fireball, sword swing, sword swing, heal. Right? It doesn***8217;t matter what***8217;s happening on screen, you***8217;re looking at your user interface. You***8217;ve already targeted. That***8217;s how all MMOs go. Acquire a target, and do as much of a maximum amount of damage key sequence you can do. That***8217;s playing the user interface. We want you to play through the screen ***8211; we want you to watch what***8217;s happening. When you click the right mouse button you shoot a weapon, when you click your left mouse button you cast a spell or an ability as we call it. We let you cycle weapons and abilities like a FPS. But that way you***8217;re always looking through the reticule. In a FPS if you aim two inches to the right, I***8217;m going to miss you. So it***8217;s really an arcade game based on your own skill. That***8217;s not what Tabula Rasa is. Tabula Rasa, when I move the mouse past you it sticks to you. It knows that I mean to shoot you. But when I shoot, it goes through the animations like a shooter but it does die rolls like an RPG ***8211; it uses attributes, armor, your abilities. It***8217;s absolutely an RPG but it has the interface to make you look through the UI into the screen ***8211; not at your shortcut bar.""

I'm sure many of you would find that to be disappointing but I still find it interesting.
