Firefall dev's 'fireside' chat
As I've said before, I've been thoroughly impressed with everything so far. It looks way better than any free-to-play game has a right to and the gameplay behind it all is really solid, like a fusion of Team Fortress 2, Borderlands and Unreal Tournament 2004. In other words, pretty freaking badass. Keep it on your radar. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.

Since then the game has sorta slipped back under my radar.. but this video changed that. I want this game.. now! 4:00 PM on 05.17.2013 Why Insomniac decided against making Resistance 4Although Insomniac Games finished its work on the Resistance series with Resistance 3, that didn't stop Burning Skies from happening, unfortunately.
