Tabula Rasa - closed beta impressions

PC Preview | Tabula Rasa

Latin for "clean slate," tabula rasa refers to the philosophical school of thought that we're not born with any prior knowledge programmed into us. Its the idea that we begin life with a fresh start, and NCsoft's next big title, Tabula Rasa, has been hyped as a game that will mark the next step forward in the evolution of the MMORPG genre. A unique combat system, a skill system based on the alien Logos language invented for the game, improved AI behavior, and a futuristic sci-fi setting all ... » Read More

Tabula Rasa - closed beta news

PC Preview | Tabula Rasa

Theres been a lot of hype about Richard Garriotts upcoming MMO, Tabula Rasa. Its out-of-this-world sci-fi setting - which stands in contrast to the ocean of high fantasy WoW clones on the market - and its untraditional combat scheme - that introduces a mix between first-person shooters and traditional MMO gameplay - piqued our interest when we first scouted out the title. Each new player will start out as a recruit with basic firearms skills and access to Tabula Rasas mysterious Logos powers. ... » Read More

Tabula Rasa - hands-on

PC Preview | Tabula Rasa

So the Earth was destroyed - space invaders, inevitably, going by the name of the Bane. What chance did humanity have? We can barely get into orbit. The Bane crosses galaxies just to burn worlds. A few of us managed to escape through the uncovered technology of the Banes estranged brother-alien race, the Eloh. We found other races willing to resist the Bane and bound together into a force that called itself the Allied Free Sentients. And a lucky few - including you - discovered they were ... » Read More

Drugs are good. Probably. Or maybe theyre not. Richard Garriott just cant help making you think about this stuff. His fame was founded on the moral dilemmas of the Ultimas, the games that established the very framework of what we consider the modern PC RPG. You can draw a line from his early work, via Baldurs Gate, to todays greats such as Knights of the Old Republic and Neverwinter Nights 2. But Garriott no longer makes single-player ... » Read More

Tabula Rasa - updated impressions

PC Preview | Tabula Rasa

Richard Garriott knows a thing or two about fantasy-based role-playing games and put his name on the map with his seminal Ultima series. With a non-compete agreement with EA and work on City of Heroes and City of Villains behind him, Garriott has set his scopes on space with Tabula Rasa - his latest shot at the online role-playing scene. Set in a futuristic world on the edge of annihilation, Tabula Rasa will throw you into the fray as a recruit in the human resistance against a xenophobic ... » Read More

Tabula Rasa updated impressions

PC Preview | Tabula Rasa

Last month at E3, we had a chance to hoist a boomstick and romp through the long-awaited massively multiplayer, sci-fi shoot-o-rama, Tabula Rasa. TR is a new direction for legendary game designer Richard Garriott, the mastermind behind the Ultima series. Garriott wanted to design something completely different than his high fantasy opus while at the same time incorporating important lessons from his two-plus decades of game design. TR is a furiously paced shooter, but still very accessible for ... » Read More

Tabula Rasa

PC Preview | Tabula Rasa

There are at least a dozen major genres of offline games; so why do most massively multiplayer online games stick to the massively over-trodden fantasy RPG genre? Enter Richard Garriott, also known by the modest moniker Lord British. He's the father of the classic RPG series Ultima, which old-school PC gamers revere the same way today's console players worship Final Fantasy. Now, he's crafting his most ambitious project yet, due out late this year: Tabula Rasa. Saying Tabula Rasa's name is ... » Read More
