Something about the fugly Fable style char graphics mixed with a overly green lush world doesnt settle with me. It reminds me of Global agenda mixed with WoW tree and landscapes.
Its supposed to be post apocalyptic right? can anyone confirm?

so like people died of radiation or w/e it is they died from, but trees stayed green and water is nicely clear and bridges are made of super metal structures? Last time i checked you needed factories to make metal and then you need cars to transport that metal to make those bridges. So how is this post apocalyptic if everything is super nice already?

Is it completly illogical to think that the world and human civilization can recover from an apoclyptic event? Use your brain.
yea but why is it post pocalyptic then, i expect like ruined houses creepy places, not green magical land of high tech shit.
Recap:
WORLD WAR III! Almost everything gets blown to kingdom come.
But look! There's this ISLAND called ENTRANA where we can AVOID the NUCLEAR APOCALYPSE!
A small fraction of humanity survives on this ISLAND, called ENTRANA, and start to develop technology. Eventually, they master the ability to clone humans, thus making them practically immortal (see The Sixth Day with Arnold Schwartzenwhatshisface). The main government, Continoma, decides who lives or dies. Obviously, this doesn't sit well with some people, so they defect and create a rebel faction called Noir. The point is, the island where Earthrise takes place isn't necessarily post-apocalyptic. It has been contaminated by some radiation (unavoidable), creating mutant species and the like, but it's not as ravaged as the rest of the world (which won't be in Earthrise. Just picture a lot of destroyed buildings and dead, bloated bodies).

But look! There's this ISLAND called Enterra where we can AVOID the NUCLEAR APOCALYPSE!

Eventually, they master the ability to clone humans, thus making them practically immortal (see The Sixth Day with Arnold Schwartzenwhatshisface).

Really close but this is how it actually happened... P.s. I corrected how the Island is spelled. It is called Enterra Island.
At the end of the 21st century, the continuing exhaustion of Earth's resources sparked a furious struggle for dominance, ultimately leading to all-out conflict. Billions perished as the Third World War raged across the globe.
As nations crumbled and civil society was in its death throes, a group of cooperative leaders and scientists began work on the "Continoma Project" - a massive, self-sufficient DNA database capable of storing the genetic information of every living thing on the Earth, including humans. Members of the Project considered themselves the world’s stewards, and began taking liberties within the database, removing the genetic code of the people responsible for the war's most heinous crimes against humanity. However, many of those war criminals exploited certain Project members' greed and bought their way into the project, guaranteeing themselves perpetual life.
Humanity outside the Continoma Project all but destroyed itself - the great societies that once warred between themselves were reduced to nomadic tribes and eventually mutated or died out, long before the irradiated world could become habitable again.
After a few hundred years passed, Continoma scientists started to clone the first wave of survivors, called the Pioneers. Faced with mutated man-eating plants and animals, as well as aggressive descendents from the last naturally-born humans, the Pioneers were only able to carve out a living on the island of Enterra. It was here that they founded Sal Vitas, City of Salvation, where the Continoma leaders formed a new government, an engineered social and political regime of utopian proportions that promised to erase the painful memory of the past.
During the first twenty years, the city's construction required a huge workforce. As more people were cloned, society divided in groups and factions, each with their own agenda and goals. Some of them revisited the darker side of the human nature, exploiting fellow citizens much the same as before the death of civilization. Continoma created a draconian police force to fight crime, which kept much of the citizenry safe but did little to eradicate the growing criminal underworld.
In the wake of Continoma's harsh reaction to the increase in crime, young intellectuals and students formed a loose organization originally intended to keep Continoma in check through civil action. It was not long until the informal organization took on a new role – armed resistance - and a new name: Noir.
The Noir resistance began with a massacre. Shortly after its conception, seven of Noir’s founding members were captured by the Continoma police force. Their DNA was pulled from the cloning database, sentencing them to a death humanity was no longer supposed to experience. The remaining six members were driven from the city. Luckily for Noir, a scientist within Continoma, a follower of the group's ideals, managed to save the founders' DNA and deliver it to those who fled Sal Vitas. The restored leadership began a guerilla war against Continoma.
In the midst of the growing insurgency, a number of high-ranked bureaucrats within Continoma mounted a coup and seized control over the cloning technology. The new autocrats immediately began threatening Noir’s supporters within the populace with removal of their genetic code from the database.
Noir continued the fight, its numbers increased by the dictatorial new regime’s policies, but without cloning technology, defeat seemed certain. Only a counter-coup, led by Synthia Harvington, saved Noir. Harvington negotiated an agreement with Noir that exchanged cloning technology for their assistance in her counter-coup. When Harvington restored the government, Noir and Continoma found a temporary and uneasy peace.
Continoma and Noir continue to share the island of Enterra today. Continoma spreads its control across the island and boosts its industrial power by exploiting the island's natural resources. Noir exists in an underground network and works to disrupt the current regime’s plans. The ceasefire is already breaking.
Mutants still abound on the island, but most of them have gathered around and inside the Old City, the remains of a community that thrived before war. Intelligence reports on both sides of the political battle claim the mutants are growing … something … inside Old City's sewers. The zone is currently under quarantine until Continoma can make a better-informed decision about how to proceed, and Noir operatives are discouraged from entering the area.

Man, RuneScape (my first MMO) has become part of my subconcious. Entrana is an island of Saradominist priests that forbids any weapons or armor... doh!
I'll just say that I am not digging the Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine armor.
I do really dig their casual wear though. When they are just relaxing in the barracks cuddling after a hard day in their Hello kitty PJs....Man it pulls it all together....they arn't just killers but a super sensitive pink marines...

Yes, it's Enterra. At least I got the gist of it.
Lol.
Yes you did get the gist of it which I am impressed by. Typically people only get snips of the game and do not fully understand the game lore. However I must point out to other people that the ceo has actually stated this game as post-post-apocalyptic.

Thanks man... I was about to loose it, go postal and say "hey, how bout doing some research?"
BTW.. Its looking good. I don't like the modeling of the girls face, it looks a bit too cartoonish as compared to the enviornment, but im still a fan :-)
Lookin' more and more polished with every screenshot released. I just hope performance is adequate - those graphics look pretty juicy.
Yeah this game is looking a lot better in these later screenshots. The characters still look, meh, but the landscape definitely looks great.

Post apocalyptic futuristic, yes.

Agreed, I'm really looking forward to this particular game, and the visuals look better and better with every new batch of screenshots I see.
Hopefully performance is just as juicy as the visuals.
