Landmark - Preview @ MMO Games

MMO Games has posted a new preview of Sony's new MMO Landmark, and even posted a new video of the closed beta for everyone to watch.

LAY OF THE LAND

Landmark is currently in closed beta. It will be a free to play game with an in-game cash shop. To snag yourself access you will need to sign up for the beta, enter contests, or purchase permanent access via the founders pack for 20 Dollars or 18 Euros. Landmark’s main focus is, of course, giving players the freedom to roam around a huge world with tons of items to craft, and options to build things. It is not possible to build anywhere you like because the world heals every 20 minutes. All of the resources you’ve gathered or massive holes that have been dug, will be restored. Before a player can start building, they must first claim a piece of land. From there, they will be able to create anything their heart desires.

Sony is also operating in a semi-transparent mode, meaning anyone can publicly view all of the upcoming changes, features, and most importantly, give their opinion. At the moment most of the crafting, gathering, and building systems are in place. To highlight some of the much needed upcoming features, Sony is adding health and death systems, monsters, water, in-game voice, and lots of different things to explore above and below ground.

TO SUMMARIZE

Pros
- Solid feature foundation for an early beta
- Looks and feels great
- Easy to learn building controls
- Tons of changes and additions coming very soon

Cons
- The whole EQ:Next/Landmark name confusion was silly
- Early beta will burn players out. Might be better to wait for release
- Nothing else really…

CLOSED BETA VIDEO PREVIEW

Instead of the usual social plugs, I thought it would best if I leave some of my other work such as my video reviews. So below you can find my video preview of Landmark!
