Really interesting stuff, so its an fps on consoles set within the EVE universe but also effects whats happening in eve?!

Really looking forwards to see how this one pans out.

 

[Evo]

It..uhm..err...sounds interesting? Don't know how it is going to work, but CCP will find a way

 

[Bakurei]

Excel + FPS = does not compute

 

[Krynn72]

Sounds like one of the most unique projects to be happening in the near future. Definitely intrigued.

 

[Nabobalis]

Will have to follow this. It seems to be console only tho and it looks really nice. Hopefully this means some more radical change for EVE.

 

[Gargantou]

I find the concept of two seperate MMOs where what happens in one of the MMOs directly affects the other, most intriguing.

 

[Ravioli]

Sounds cool, but where can i see said video?

 

[Shakermaker]

Shakey came. Oh wait, make that shaky cam.

Sorry about not seeing this thread so please delete mine. I found the teaser and it's epic like the first time you saw the E3 Killzone 2 trailer (so prepare to shat bricks):

There is a really cool article that has more info on the subject: http://www.massively.com/2009/08/18/ccp-games-reveals-new-eve-online-console-mmo-dust-514/

This is a huge and unpredictable thing that they are planning to add to Eve. The whole Walking in Stations will not come out this year but it will work with this I think. Makes me want a console, haha.

*Like imagine alliances that consist of mercenary corporations or freelance Black Water corps. Then imagine people hiring that corp and them fighting to take control over a planet for their client. Sure the expense for weapons, ships, marines would be high but the reward that the client would give would be high. Really epic game they are making.

**They actually do this in-game right now actually hehe. This takes place on a console on the planets you warp by though!

wait wait wait...this is console only?

Big interview on the official forums:

K: Would you think about an exclusive release?
CCP: Everything helping to realize this crazy idea in the best possible way will be taken by us. If exclusivity is the right way, we will walk it.

Icelandic biatches for Sony.

If that was in-game, it looks a lot like the KZ2 engine. Anyways, it sounds as if you'll need to be actively playing both this and EVE to get the full experience. I've only played the EVE trial and was pretty bored, so I'm sure how well this would work for those in my situation.

And I'm outta here!

 

[Shakermaker]

And I'm outta here!

I was kinda ignoring that fact since I like the idea that much. But yeah.

 

[Darkside55]

The PC is absolutely dying for a good MMOFPS, and it goes to console. Fuck developers.

What about Huxley? Or Fallen Earth? They're both MMOFPSes.

 

[Darkside55]

Have you played Huxley? It's not worth paying for. It's Unreal 3 with a city feature and WoW quests. Go into a sewer, kill a bunch of hybrids and steal their teeth or some shit, and give it back to the quest NPC for some piddly XP that you could've gotten five times the amount for just by doing deathmatch.

And I ain't played Fallen Earth yet, but from the trailers it looks like butt.

Certainly there's no MMOFPS coming out for PC that looks as good graphics-wise as Dust 514, or that bloody TIES INTO AN EXISTING PC MMO. But apparently developers don't get that console shooters are dick.

Goddamn the only MMOFPS we've got on PC right now worth a damn is

Spoiler

Team Fortress 2

 

[Gargantou]

I've played Fallen Earth, since the closed stress-test, and it's great IMO; and fu if you don't like it.

Also, how's Team Fortress 2 an MMOFPS?

Are you drunk?

 

[Eejit]

Spoiler

Nah he's just trolling.

Are you crazy Darkside? TF2 isn't a MMOFPS! There's like no persistent worlds or environments! If you're gonna call any FPS a MMO based on 'character development' it should be COD4 FFS you goddamn loony.

 

[Stormy]

I very much hope that it works simier to faction warfare and or is removed from the sov system we already had. I really dont like the idea of a bunch of noobs loosing a game on xbox live and an alliance loosing half their assets.

 

[Darkside55]

Well, it may be a good game for all I know, but listen, it still LOOKS like ass. Really cheap ass. Look at those graphics, they're goddamned terrible. Eff me, I guess, but it's not like you can dispute what I'm saying here. It looks butt ugly.

And Huxley looked like crap too for that matter.

Dust looks good. Looks like a current gen game should. PC could do it, but it's coming to consoles. A shooter on console is already pandering to the scum at the bottom of the barrel, but an MMO too? On a console?

In before "graphics don't make a game."

Also, how's Team Fortress 2 an MMOFPS?

Grind for 40 hours

get a hat

 

[Gargantou]

graphics don't make a game.

 

[Shakermaker]

Correct, but they can break it.

Calm down. Wait for Natural Selection 2

This is just a rip off of NS 2, so no worries.

 

[Eejit]

NS2 isn't going to be a MMOFPS, so how can this be a ripoff?

 

[Gargantou]

Correct, but they can break it.

Dwarf Fortress would like to have a word with you.
