Earthrise: New Beta Video Released January, 2011
Earthrise is a sandbox pay to play Sci-Fi PVP MMORPG by Masthead Studios that is currently going to be released in February, 2011. “Sandbox” in Earthrise’s description means that the game has no shards (just one big server), and the game world can be highly influenced by the players – like in Eve Online. So, a new video from the game’s currently ongoing closed beta has been released by Masthead Studios.
The game looks really improved since the earlier videos we’ve been shown, but one thing seems to stay the same: the lagging issue. Comparing to the old videos the environment looks amazing, but, on the other hand, both videos present obvious lagging issues. Even in the new promo video it can be easily spotted, and that’s not a good sight: either they *still* don’t have a computer that is able to handle their own engine with enough FPS, or the servers are lagging like hell.
As much as I’d like to get into the beta to see it with my own eyes, 2 years of sending them applications haven’t got me a key yet :(
