Okay all, the NDA has been lifted from us Beta testers with limitations, so I'm giving you all the information I'm allowed at this point, and let me tell you I will be getting this game.
Helsinki, Finland – October 19th, 2009 - Futuremark® Games Studio today released a new trailer showing the first in-game footage from Shattered Horizon™, their upcoming multiplayer first-person shooter for the PC. www.shatteredhorizon.com .
In Shattered Horizon, a catastrophic explosion on the Moon has filled near-Earth space with billions of tons of rocky debris. Survivors on the Moon are forced into conflict with those trapped on the battered International Space Station. Teams of players fight in zero gravity to control the limited supplies that mean the difference between survival and death in the cold of space.
With simple and intuitive controls, players have complete freedom of movement making full use of the distinctive zero gravity environments to control the battle. Shattered Horizon rewards players with gameplay and tactics impossible in games constrained by gravity.
The first trailer for Shattered Horizon to show in-game footage, this new video shows two players working together to take control of an asteroid being mined in near-Earth space. Players use rocket packs to fly freely through space and can land on any surface, surprising opponents by attacking from unexpected angles.
"This new trailer shows Shattered Horizon's realistic space setting and the player's complete freedom of movement," said Antti Summala, lead designer at Futuremark Games Studio. "FPS fans looking for a new multiplayer challenge this holiday should check out Shattered Horizon for an experience that is only possible in a game without gravity."

It is a Steam game, so I guess not all of you will want it, but I've been in the Beta for a while now, and I've really enjoyed it. If you've liked games like Shadowrun, Tribes, or even Section 8 you should enjoy this game.
Like I said, I'm really looking forward to this game.
The video looked really cool.
I like how theres no sound when they fire their guns, because its in space
I'm in the beta also, pretty fun game.
Can't wait for Final Fantasy XIII!
SlushBunny: The video looked really cool. I like how theres no sound when they fire their guns, because its in space
sadly you do hear the gunfire, which they cleverly edited around, and that is the one thing I'm not sure I cared for in the game.
I do however LOVE the way the environment is able to be manipulated, the asteroids, the cargo containers, it's great, not to mention the game play in general.
There is also ranking and leaderboards.

so theres basically almost no sound?
or is there some device that lets you
look at my edited post above about sound, yes there is sound, they just creatively made it seem as though there wasn't, great for dramatic effect.
as far as graphics go, the settings are adjustable enough to allow users with lower end cards to play, he11 I had to go to medium settings for my 8800GT SC card
but it still looked AMAZING, I actually found myself on more than one occasion just standing on an asteroid or floating around just taking in the view, it is that good looking.
