NCsoft's official Auto Assault trailer launched

Now whilst SPOnG is wary of many MMO games, having had a bellyload of elves and dragons and warlocks in our short time here on the real world of Planet Earth, Auto Assault, it has to be said, is something a little bit different. And something perhaps a little bit more interesting to non-MMO'ers than your average MMO fare (fayre).

Check out this Auto Assault trailer (Window Media, 64MB) that has just been sent to our courtesy of those nice people at NCsoft Europe, and see what we mean. The trailer shows off the most current build of the post-apocalyptic, future-car crashing and laser-shooting MMO, which is due to go live in the next couple of months.

Also, should you make the unforgivable mistake of forgetting to buy your better half a valentine's present (YES it's tomorrow) then never fear. Those old romantics at NCSoft are offering you and your partner the chance to get into the world of Auto Assault for an exclusive ‘Dirty Weekend’, this coming Friday.

It won't wash of course, but when you are wondering what to do with your new found singledom, at least you will have the option of driving around in massive souped up future cars, blowing the hell out of strangers with some awesome lasers to take your mind of things. Counselling organisation "Relate" should perhaps offer a spell on Auto Assault as a mandatory requirement to all of their clients grieving a recently destroyed romance.

All you need to do is to point your browser to the official site and enter your email address and you should be just in time to get in on the beta test. Access to the Dirty Weekend will start on Friday, February 17th.

SPOnG will be having a big of a chat with the developers of Auto Assault some point soon after this coming weekend’s carnage tester, so if there’s any specific things you want us to ask them, just let us know in the forums.
