Well sounds good, but let's not hope they use something like EA's multiplayer system for games like Tiger Woods. I got disconnected so much it became useless to play. | |
So...FPS+RTS = Brothers in Arms...right? | |
im an avid Eve player, and personally reckon that everything CCP have done in the game, and out, have been great. they would have to be one of very few developers who ACTUALLY listen to wat the players are saying about the game, and wat they would like changed/added. CCP put in place the CSM (Council of Stellar Management) basically, is a group of players from various backgrounds (elected by players) to be a sounding board and filter for new ideas coming up from the forums. wat other developer would do that?? so i have faith that Dust 514 will be made with just as much care, and passion as Eve is. | |
Here's a great video teaser on DUST 514 in-game footage and Hilmar's presentation: Enjoy | |
IT WILL BE EARTH, RIGHT? EVE gate reopens, everyone interacts and is happy. | |
"first-person shooter and RTS-style gameplay." | |
I am all kinds of interested in the idea of the two games being linked together - even more interested in the idea of them somehow truly melding together into a single EVE experience, but that might be less possible. ;-) | |
Damnit, it's not a World of Darkness MMORPG. I feel let down! | |
this will really help us pc players ego eh? us commanding ground troops and droping nukes what could go wrong? | |
Fanfest is in October...that's where they might show the progress on WoD. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me is excited about Dust 514 even without owning a console. Gonna finally polish my Leadership SP on hopefully mindless, aimless children with Xboxes. Dance, my new-found puppets, dance! | |
I'm not a console player, and there's no way I can afford a second MMO. That said, I cannot wait for this game to come out. I think it is brilliant, and I look forward to working with console players on campaigns of galactic conquest. | |
That's what I'm wondering right now: will this require a subscription fee? If not, I'll cheer in delight. I was pretty impressed by the trailer. I love the EVE universe, and especially the prospect of working together with the EVE players makes me pretty excited. | |
It probably will. | |
EVE Online Creators Unveil Mysterious 'Dust 514'
What's next for EVE Online creator CCP Games? According to CCP CEO Hilmar Veigar Petursson, the firm is hard at work on an online action title codenamed "Dust 514."
Speaking at the Gamescom conference in Germany, Petursson also offered attendees a trailer and two images from Dust (see right). Neither the in-game media nor CCP's trailer shed much light on what the game is like, despite the publisher's noticably generic assertion that the game features "first-person shooter and RTS-style gameplay."
More impressive however, is CCP's promise that Dust 514 will "interact directly" with EVE Online. The publisher offers no word on how this cross-game functionality might work nor how it would be accomplished technologically, though presumably more details will emerge from CCP's annual Fanfest convention in Reykjavik, Iceland this October.
Though Dust 514 has been in development for more than three years, no official price point or release date has yet been established.
