Xbox 360 PS3

Irish Star Cave Studios has officially announced Terra: Formations, planned for a release on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. The game has been quite a buzz during the latest conventions, and as the developers still are looking for a publisher there is no release date set. Terra is a MMOFPSRTSRPG - yeah, all that stuff in one game. The story is set in 2157, and as a player you have to choice to either run on the battlefield (FPS) and expand your stats (RPG) or be the commander (RTS) to rule the field. First image inside, and remember - as the studio opened in summer 2004, they probably are in early development.
Update: Added a gameplay video.
Update #2: Release date announced: Autumn 2007.

They are using the Torque Shader Engine, that's Torque Engine 2.0. Some info about it here:

No way, it's definitely the AR engine. If you look at the link I gave earlier, you can tell. It's even got the same HUD!

Terra: Formations has switched to a new engine. Its now on the Torque Shader Engine. Here are some screens:

The engine's still being developed by GarageGames, so they HUD's may be similar to each other.

Yay, a game development studio in my country! Go Ireland!

That brings the grand total of developers to 1, well there might be more but I've never heard of any so...anyway, seems interesting.

Hmmm, graphically it is pretty underwelming, but then it is an MMOF...PSTRS....something, something :)

Halo set the paradigm for first person shooters, but does it have to inspire so many games.............. I saw nothing in that video that impressed me, and I'm not talking about graphics. I know that the game is early development, but come on........

I dunno about you........ but that's exponentially better looking than any RTS I've ever seen.

Looking ok, and promises lots of unique things. But I think it’s too early to call for this one.

I like its title though, lol.

Passing judgment on a game this early in development is equivalent to saying a steak won't taste good before it even got a chance to be seasoned and properly cooked.

Wow.... these pics look like they were ripped from Tribes 2.... I would say this were tribes 3 if it weren't going by another name.

ninety nine nights looks much much better than this
and it still looks really bad to be a mmo game too, compare this to huxley and you'll see what i mean
wow this REALLY is in early stages
but a MMO-FPS-RTS-RPG sounds interesting though

Has anyone played Natural Selection? Then you might know what kind of game this will be. Except of course it seems that both sides aren't that different. Plus, to me this game looks like it's missing that "RTS" part...

Hmm, sounds interesting.

dang, another one on my watch list. The list keep growing!

And about Halo. the earliest screens had a punch of sub-100 poly men jumping and rollying around on a hill from a top-down perspective. It WAS an RTS. Look at it now.

Things can change massively during the development cycle. don't count out this game yet.
