Tantalized by the little tidbits about The Repopulation that came from last week's GDC? Find yourself hungering for more? If so, today's your lucky day! Above and Beyond Technologies is offering something more to whet your appetite: a second pre-alpha trailer.

Coming in at just under two minutes, the video gives players a peek at a number of the features discussed in our interview plus much more. In accelerated time-lapse format, it displays a bit of the landscape, shows off some nation building, demonstrates a few combat moves (everyone loves a good roundhouse kick, right?), reveals player swimming, and showcases character customization.

Sadly for fans eager to really sink their teeth into The Repolulation, the video ends all too soon. In the immortal words of Oliver Twist, "Please, sir, I want some more."

looks great so far.. Not too shabby for pre alpha.

Does look interesting. Hoping that the slow combat and ugly UI are just aspects of early development and hopefully they change as we see more vids and info in the next year or so.

I'm sorry but that screenshot just looks wrong. And by wrong I mean awesome.

AND THUS, WE SEE ANOTHER NEW MMO, who is trying to be SWG. Is it me or did those unarmed animations remind anyone else of Teras Kasi? I hope this one succeeds and has good stuff and doesn't crash, burn, and die like Earthrise did. The environments look very pretty and the architecture that we've seen is quite pretty.
