Fun preview. Don't know I'd actually want to play it, but fun.
Also, eye bee tee el.

Oh, now why would there be 'eye bee tee el' involved? It's not even a competitor at this point. 
I don't think it will be, honestly... too... Tabula Rasa lookin'.
Like the graphics, though and the trailer is pretty nifty... Although, as expected, the game play vs the trailer? Not the same. At all.
Do like the Firefly vibe of it though. I may get in just to see, but like (the game what's name shall not be mentioned), I expect I won't like it and be right back here as is my modus operandii.
August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012
Looks interesting, kinda like the slightly cartoonish look to it as well.
Hopefully NC Soft will let us talk about a NC Soft game on an NC Soft forum?

Yeah I liked the trailer and of course gameplay (probably) won't be anything like it but...signed up for beta for it...just to see how it plays out.

Although upon further review, that might mainly be because the soldier guy looks eerily like General Knoxx.

As for the trailer, meh. While it's nice to have some variety in sci-fi art direction than the usual grim 'n' gritty space marines, the trio of standard-issue protagonists - the caster chick with bunny ears, the impetuous gun-wielding scouter dude, and the heavy weapons merc-tanker - don't suggest much originality under the hood.
looks more interesting than any other mmo coming out. still barely have time for coh and co, but might try it if it goes hybrid or if friends get it.

Hm. Looks kinda cool. Digging the sci-fi fantasy angle and I kinda like the bright and cartoony design they seem to be going for instead of gritty realistic.

I wonder if the sense of humor in the trailer will translate to the game.
"Had to go and touch it"
"Every life on this planet is precious...except that one"
It caught my interest, anyway.

Looks really fun, will be keeping an eye out for it, plus signed up for beta

unlikely, one of the problems with mmos is that big time surprise moments like the trailer was entirely comprised of wont happen in game. players will get used to what not to touch, or when to safely touch things, and since mmos tend towards being things play for hundreds of hours, realistic expectations dictate that soon it will be reduced to the same repetition and standardization that happens in mmos. its hard to avoid , you just cant make novelty in a 400 hour experience without major compromises.

Hmm, from the cinematic it seems like something that would work better as an action RPG rather than an MMO.

If this thread is deleted, I wonder if that means they'll stop retweeting about this game on the official CoH Tweet feed.

I think action MMORPGs are the future... any mmo game that doesn't follow that trend is likely going to fall in the next 5-10 and then won't exist after that ^.^ rpg's as they are now will exist as social media games and real world games.
From the gameplay footage, I feel the art direction was "Lets do WoW in Space".
This is a service-oriented business, and it's all
about keeping the player happy over the long term.
So you have to listen and pay attention. If a large
portion of your playerbase is screaming about
some change, you be wise to listen. - Raph Koster
Started to look cool - until the scene with high heels and bunny ears - no thanks!

I thought it looked interresting. But truthfully, I'm still waiting on the other NCSoft title, Blade and Soul (though nothing will ever replace my love of CoH).
