A lot of people turned out to MMO Fallout today looking to see what the big announcement for Fallen Earth was, and now that I’m out of work I can tell you. In a ustream transmission today, Icarus Studios announced that Gamersfirst will be taking over Fallen Earth. I’ll wait for you to wipe the soda off of your computer screen.
Fallen Earth is set to come back at 11pm.
8:00 Transmission has begun.
8:06 “This is not a change we’re going to be making immediately. We are transitioning our servers and working on our hardware and solidifying that aspect.”
8:10 “Fallen Earth dev team will continue developing Fallen Earth. Business as usual.”
8:12 Multiple passenger vehicles coming out, you can quote as “really fucking big.”
8:13 Servers will be located on the east coast.
8:14 Factions are going to matter.
8:20 More sandbox oriented features.
8:30 All discussions on free to play are hypothetical, but Icarus has said that the cash shop would be as far removed from essential gameplay as possible, citing pay to win as a “dick move.”
8:41 The official corporate response to “will we be able to lease weapons (ala APB)” is “fuck that.”
8:44 There will not be destructible terrain, however player buildings can be destroyed.
8:57 I don’t think there are any more questions relating to the transition that can be answered so I’ll leave it here.
