Shacknews – Firefall hands-on preview.

At PAX Prime 2011 it was difficult to ignore Firefall's presence. From the hulking statue in one of the hall's main foyers, to the huge floor space reserved to showcase the game in hands-on demos, developer Red 5's shooter was everywhere. Though it is based on the MMORPG concept of persistent world, quests, and available PvP battles, Firefall isn't a dice roll game. There is no mechanic calculating the possible damage dealt by your weapons. Firefall is a shooter; a genre based on skill.
