Gods & Heroes Screenshots

I heard they had a number of layoffs or departures at the studio. Couldnt get any confirmation from someone who actually worked there though.

I'm gonna wait for Ages of Conan myself.

Talk about the game that no one is talking about...is there any excitement for this game? Personally, I'm waiting for more info on Star Trek Online.

Gods & Heroes seems like it could be very good, it's kind of their test bed game before they do Star Trek Online (although I guess they're working on that still, just quietly).

Interesting/New stuff for G&Hs is the squad system allowing you to have minions which you will have to acquire and upgrade, which will add depth I guess to the loot system.

They've got some very nice ideas for expansion packs too. This game is called "Rome Rising" because it's based on the nation of Rome and the Gods of Rome. However future expansion packs will be based on other people/nations and will have their Gods. They're talking about adding PVP content with the new nations, something they're calling nation vs nation.

Also although Perpetual is a new company they have a lot of money behind them and some experienced devs. Steig Hedlund is the big one as he was lead designer at Blizzard North.

That sky is way too white.

Bloom for the sake of bloom doesn't add to the game. I do like the enemy design though.

Isn't Perpetual also doing Star Trek Online? Is that game dead? The website was "relaunched" not too long ago, but there's no content that isn't years old.

Anyone beta'd this game? It's pretty but is it just another more of the same mmorpg or is it something new?
