Edit: Finally the official announcement:
<blockquote>The Endtime has begun: THE FALL - LAST DAYS OF GAIA

The Berlin/Germany based studio Silver Style Entertainment develops THE FALL - LAST DAYS OF GAIA for PC, an innovative Post-Apocalyptic Role Playing Game with tactical combat and a highly original, disturbing storyline. The game is scheduled for Q1, 2004.


THE FALL will be the first 3D-RPG set in an endtime scenario on the market. Current Project Status is about 70% completion.

THE FALL guides the player into the post-apocalyptic world of 2083 where mankind has fallen back into a primitive anarchic state. The player will explore a huge territory which was formerly part of the south of the US and is now a fascinating place full of danger. A dramatic, novel-like plot unfolds in twists and turns and captivates the gamer from the first minute of playing.

THE FALL is easily accessible for the novice and literally draws the unexperienced gamer into the plot while at the same time the game offers a level of deepness and detail which excels existing Core-RPG standards. The top notch in-house developed engine of THE FALL displays an unbelievable realistic 3D world as well as highly detailed characters. Each and every of the more than 1000 NPC in the game has its own look and its own social life and daily schedule.

THE FALL gives the player a high degree of freedom. Besides the main plot there are more than 150 sub-quests. However, the player never gets lost in the game world; he is very well guided through the story.

THE FALL comes up with an unique combat system. The traditional difficult spot of 3D-Role Playing Games, the often dull or repetitive combat is actually one of the main strengths of THE FALL. Battles are scalable so that the player can choose any level of involvement: Combat can be accelerated and automated by the players who are mainly interested in the story and the character development. Vice versa, the tactical player may make each and every combat decision himself. He can fight every battle as a challenging tactical game in itself which may be several hours long.

Carsten Strehse CEO of Silver Style comments:
THE FALL will inspire every RPG fan. The unique features, the very deep story and our very strong in-house engine are perfect qualifications for a stunning gameplay experience. Because of the quality of the game and the fact that THE FALL will be the first endtime 3D-RPG on the market we feel absolute confident about its success.

Ahahahah we did the same news bit at the same time :D
I`ve deleted the one i did, don`t worry, it was funny as hell seeing the same news for a few seconds on the main page though :D
 
That is some hellaciously beautiful shit! Just when I thought computer games were starting to get a tad too FPS-similar. Hopefully the gameplay is as good as the graphics...
 
Am I the only one that didn't think the graphics were all that, compare it to Silent Storm..Well I suspect that the areas are bigger in The Fall, yet again...
 
Don't Forget that these screenshots only show low resolution graphics...

Carsten posted on a german mboard that some High End shots will be shown soon!

and I believe that the areas will be quite big... by the way I don't believe that graphics will be the most important feature in that game! :!:
 
Translation

This site works for translating the German site into a passable english. You can get the jist of it at least. They tried to terraform Mars. Terrorists (or sparkling wine, I'm not sure) seized the terraforming equipment and it went off in Earth atmosphere and dumped a bunch of CO2 into the air and screwed up the weather. Pretty original post-apoc premise.

i think it will be an awesome game... im psyched about other RPG elements that the site talks about. namely the storyline - "The story is non-linear. Depending on the decisions of the players, the story unfolds in different directions and confronts players with diverse tasks. The order in which to solve the tasks is completely up to the player." sounds very UNLIKE certian post nuclear tatical games i know of.
