Masthead Studios has released a new wallpaper and lots of new concept art from Earthrise, a post-apocalyptic science fiction MMO game slated to release in 2009. Earthrise will allow you to fight with advanced PvP mechanics featuring customizable power armor, huge mechanized exoskeletons, and an arsenal of weapons to control contested lands and their resources. You will influence the market-based economy by working for the corporate world or trading on the black market, all based in immense and highly customized crafting and offline play systems.
Earthrise: First Impact is a revived apocalyptic scifi MMORPG project that SilentFuture picked up after the closure of Earthrise in 2012. The developer has been working hard at the game, with an alpha version of the MMORPG well on its way – much to fans delight.
Earthrise is an upcoming post-apocalyptic sandbox MMORPG that almost didn’t make it, luckily German developer SilentFuture UG revived the highly-anticipated project. Now, the time some fans have been waiting for – Closed Beta sign ups have begun.
The closed alpha stage ONE of Earthrise has officially started. SilentFuture revamped many of the systems used in Earthrise and focused on fundamental factors such as network and server performance. A new network layer was implemented and the Flash based GUI was replaced with a HTML5 one, that enables the players to customize their HUD and implement own functionality.
5. Haeresis is the US name for Versus which is an extremely silly name and would probably make the ignorant masses think it's a one-on-one fighting game....or even worse, some kind of mad crossover between Final Fantasy and a mediocre cel-shaded FPS. (i.e. "Final Fantasy" vs. "XIII")
Seriously though, Haeresis and Versus both mean similar things in Latin in addition to sounding similar.
Haeresis/Heresy: "dissent or deviation from a dominant theory, opinion, or practice"
Versus: "in contrast to or as the alternative of"
Ever since it was announced, "Versus" never sat well with me and whether Haeresis is an alternate title for it or a completely different game I'll wager that a game called Final Fantasy Versus XIII will never come out in the US.
