Gameplay Trailer
Best watched in HD ;)
*New* Pricing details - F2P/P2P model
System Requirements - Can You run it?
Full Version: Global Agenda
Looks cool, I might have to try it out.
It looks awesome, but the idiots in the videos are acting like every player is a lifeless nerd who cares about nothing besides this game.
I like how its clan based, and the gameplay looks fun.

The graphics are fine. Starcraft has crappy graphics, but it's one of the greatest games of all time. RuneScape's graphics aren't the best, but it's a fun game to play nonetheless.

The graphics look fine from what I can see. Did you watch the vid in high def?
Anyway, with shooter games, especially online, I'm pretty sure the less lag the better. So that may be a reason to not have extreme graphics.
If you want extreme graphics go with Age of Conan :p I have a decent computer but it can't run that game.
Hmm well, i gotta say the game looks pretty fun, though i also have to question the quality of the graphics. It looks like it borrows alot from halo
Looks pretty good.
I personally don't care about graphics and find it silly that people care so much about graphics that they disregard the actual gameplay because of it. If the games fun, I don't care what sort of graphics it has.

Well it looks like Unreal Tournament. Suppose you can't detract from the fact that they ARE using the same physics engine.
In all honesty just another shooter game. Im fed up with all these shooters...
EDIT:
Looked at there site and I have to say that I loved this trailer!!!!

From what I've read(Don't quote me on this because I may be wrong)
but I remember reading a Dev interview that said people in Alpha were playing it on the computer using controllers quite easily. I'm not sure if that means they'll release it on other system later or what, but we'll see.
@Saradane that trailer is what got me hooked

He says that at about 3:30 in the video.
that fantasy meets scifi trailer was really funny lol. I wonder if there's gonna be something like that in the game
Agreed with Saradane, at first look it looks very similar to Unreal Tournament.
Who cares about graphics i mean lets look at sonic games on sega the graphics are old but it is a fun game.
The game looks fun i hope it will come out for mac and it probably wont then i have to transgame it which i really don't want to.

Recent new interview @MMORPG that I though would be worth mentioning. 
That purple dude is badass. It looks quite fun too 
I may give it a go, but I'm assuming it isn't free

They don't seem extremely high but they are higher than what the average RS player's computer may be able to handle. The smartest thing Jagex did is allow their game to be playable on all types of computers, new or old, as long as they have Java.
For anyone looking to play checking This (Canyourunit.com) would be a good idea. Checking on release would be a better idea as well because the game is usually optimized(because they need to get as many subs as possible) before release.
EDIT2: I also believe Single-core processors are less powerful than multiple core processors at a lower speed. So it is kind of misleading.

Maybe that is what mechscape will be like?
Looks like a cool game. Might end up playing it.

Thanks Darth Irule :D
Anyway,
It's been announced that this game will have a limited F2P model and you can subscribe for more content. (reminds me of RS' system, except you have to pay $50 for the box)
This article will probably explain it better than me.

Good news for you Global Agenda fans out there, as Hi-Rez Studios announced their pricing structure today for the upcoming spy-fi MMO. In a phone call this morning to Executive Producer Todd Harris, we learned that the game will have a few options, depending on your playing style. If you'd like to play Global Agenda as a multi-player, hub-based shooter, all you need to do is buy the box. There will be no subscription fees at all.
If you'd like to take part in large-scale Alliance vs. Alliance battles throughout a persistent world, then the subscription model would be for you. This sub model also opens up other features, like the Auction House, mail system and more. This is what any MMO player would want, while the subscription-free option would cater more towards your average Call of Duty fan. Keep reading after the jump for complete details on Global Agenda's payment model, feature comparison and details and their newest projected launch window.
Global Agenda (one time purchase - $49.99 MSRP) includes:
* Creation of up to eight different agent characters
* Character visual customization
* Access to all combat weapons and devices
* Cooperative Player vs. Environment missions against the Commonwealth NPC faction, AI-controlled enemies, and Boss Fights
* Matchmade Player vs. Player missions with five different game types and over 20 unique maps
* Character progression through 30 levels
* Achievement and unlocks system for individual characters
* Player Inventory for suits, flair, dyes, upgrades, and loot
* Virtual Reality practice fighting area
* Vendors and accumulation of in-game currency
* Text chat with multiple channels
* Built in voice chat during missions
* Ability to join an established player-created agency
* All play is on our single-shard, hosted server environment to ensure convenient and consistent gaming experience.
* Ability to sign up for one free month of subscription at registration (credit card required, can be cancelled at any time)
Global Agenda: Conquest ($12.99 per month, $11.49/mo for 3 month, $9.99/mo for 6 month) includes:
* Access to Alliance vs. Alliance (AvA) World Domination gameplay
* A massive scale campaign between player created agencies and alliances over scarce territory and resources on a persistent world map.
* Attack and Defend Territories in zones that match your agency's schedule
* Agency and Alliance Management – Create and maintain persistent player groups and officer ranks
* Creation and Upgrading of Facilities - Control production and output
* Base Raids – involving up to 60 players per side; coordinated between 6 different strike teams within linked territory instances
* Agency Achievement System, Leveling, and Recognition
* Auction House with bidding and buyouts
* Mail System
* Upgrade Text and Voice chat to support multiple channels and strike teams
* Player Crafting with blueprints
* Additional character customization options including elite character suits, dye colors, and seasonal flair
* Ongoing Co-Op content at max character level
* Ongoing AvA content, multiplayer PvP content, and new social areas
Global Agenda is currently in closed beta testing and scheduled to be development complete by the end of this year toward a Q1 2010 release.
As you may have noticed, it says that you can play "through 30 levels" on the free side. We asked Todd specifically about this and he reassured us that the max level of 30 (which has not been announced prior to this) is in effect for both the free side and the sub side. In fact, they made sure not to hinder essential gameplay mechanics on the free side, and this is just an example of that.
Some of our other concerns focused on the balance between sub and non-sub players. Yes, a non-sub player can join an agency with subbed players, with the option at any time to sub-up to join their friends in battle. Yes, subbed players can join their non-sub friends at any time in the instanced battles.
So there you have it. With so many concerns from the rumor mill about Global Agenda actually being defined as an MMO, we can see that Hi-Rez has addressed that concern and utilized it in their payment model. With the newly-updated release date of Q1 2010, we'll be sure to keep you in the loop for any new information on Global Agenda's progress.

Global Agenda has an estimated release(Q1 2010)... All Jagex gives is "soon" which is not soon at all.
I doubt SD will be out before GA, but one can only hope.
Looks very cool :o
Especially the 'No Elves' video
I actually never like team-based games, but this one looks kinda cool
