Hmm...Hadn't heard about that...
-wanders off and looks it up-
There is a big thread in the Comic section. Looks like a Firefly/Outlaw Star style MMO.
The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.
Personally, I think it's high time that someone try to put together a well-done MMO in the Cyberpunk genre, but not holding my breath on that.

It's beyond past time for that. Anyone know the status on the Shadowrun property? (Though I'd probably prefer Talsorian Games' Cyberpunk...just figure Shadowrun has more name-recognition)

Currently the Microsoft Corporation still owns the FASA properties, but the rights to make electronic video games based on FASA properties are licensed to Jordan Weisman over at Smith & Tinker. Now, if you drop by Smith & Tinker you'll find that they are now a game developer for the Iphone.
In fact, Smith & Tinker contracted with Piranha Games/ for the production of MechWarrior... a game originally scheduled to launch in August 2009. That was two years ago and it's still not done. And for those waiting for the joke, why yes, Piranha Games was also involved in the production of Duke Nukem Forever.
As of right now, I'd say it's a safe bet that games based on FASA Corp properties can all be considered dead.

anytime anything is announced.
Not the actual Doom game...
Maestro Mavius - Infinity
Capt. Biohazrd - PCSAR
Talsor Tech - Talsorian Guard
Keep Calm & Chive On!
I assumed that was a new game since that's the first thing I see every time I go to the PlayNC site to manage my account these days. It looks interesting, especially the bunny girl, but... Hideously small ankles with ultra-thin high heels? Really? Come on!

Obviously you missed the dev blog over on their website talking about their artistic influences on their game.|

Also surprised that you didnt pick up on the fact that the hands are also not in proportion to the rest of their bodies....
*edit* To avoid double posting.
The Mechwarrior reboot has had its own issues due to a Cease and Desist order from Harmony Gold USA that was issued in 2009 (soon after the announcement actually), claiming that some of the mech designs were stolen from Robotech. Harmony Gold USA own the rights to Robotech.
Not to mention as well that in 1996, FASA themselves had issues with a similar thing concerning Macross... it is actually even messier now as Harmony USA have their *own* issues over who owns the original rights.
So when will it all be sorted? Who knows, but there has been a tweet from the President of Piranha Games that more information will be coming forward soon™ (i added the tm part)
Hell, right now, so many companies own different parts of FASA ip, it actually getting very very messy, and if/when anything does get resolved, it would be for the better.
Did I miss something, or is this a surprise to everyone, or what?
