Red 5 Announces Persistent, Online Team-Based Shooter 'Firefall'
by Brian Leahy, Sep 07, 2010 12:50pm PDTRed 5 Studios have announced Firefall, a "team-based action shooter" with persistent elements. The studio has also released new screenshots and two trailers, featuring both gameplay and cinematics.

Here's the gameplay demonstration, featuring jetpacks, first- and third-person play, vehicles, and a lot of gunplay.
The cinematic trailer can be viewed below.
The game is scheduled for release in 2011 on the PC.
Xbox One achievements dynamic, not limited to single games

The Cinematic was great - though it looks like the team pretty much gets completely wiped out (on 1 Thumper :P)
The gameplay looks like it might be something 'new' and yet still fun - looking forward to more on this.

I mean hell, you gave us a COMPLETELY UNCUT GAMEPLAY VIDEO. OMFG. That is unheard of nowadays. I am almost tempted to buy the game simply for THAT alone.

I'm fine with microtransactions if they're done right. I think they're dumb the way most companies do them, but if they're REALLY optional then I think it's cool.
I haven't played it, but friends tell me League of Legends is free to play and just makes their heroes random. Then you can pay a small fee for each one you want unlocked all the time. I think this is fine because in that particular game type you're not going to want to use every hero anyway. There may be some other thing I hate or some drawback I'm not aware of, but if done right I think it's fine.
Microtransactions don't HAVE to mean the game becomes stupid. I mean...as long as you're not paying for boosts to stats/gear/levels/etc and the stuff's mostly cosmetic, that's probably OK.

I don't know why this is labeled Tribes though, the only thing in it that looks Tribesy is the jet packs, which are huge and clunky. Maybe Tribes:Vengeance, but that wasn't Tribes at all, rather UT with jetpacks.

I loved it when good games were noticed, now people care about things like Halo Reach ... which is awful.
