I want to know how many times the Escapist plans on posting the same trailer. I keep getting my hopes up for more news only to have them dashed when I'm shown the same trailer they've been showing for months.
The even better part is that it will all be on one server ^.^OutrageousEmu said:Why? People who play EVE play EVE. They're the existing facet of EVE's universe. This is introducing a new facet of EVE, the ground troops who can turn the tide in a war. Why would you need the coroporation leaders to become ground troops? Corrupt politicians don't fight wars themselves, they use generals. Why would you need to wade into the battle yourself when there's a bunch of mercenaries who can do the job far better than you who you can buy to work for you, using the funds you shored up doing what you do?Spartan448 said:Some other people said that essentially it's Console Gamers using the interwebs to be the ground mercs for people playing EVE. THAT would be awesome. It would also require anyone in a major corp. to get a PS3.
Why on earth would you think existing EVE players are the target market for this game? Thats ludicrous. They are meant to interact with the new blood of this game, but they aren't meant to play it.
The people who eat bullets and shit browner bullets, they're the guys who should be playing this. The people who eat spreadsheets and crap org charts, they're to play EVE and hire the former category.
It was never intended for PC release, just as a different way to interact with the EVE universe. If it were on the PC, it would likely split the EVE audience, and for a game that is already as niche as it is, that would be a horrible idea.Worgen said:I thought this was going to be tied into eve aside from just plot wise, it could have been pretty awesome, guess its just some fps game based in the eve universe but it still doesnt answer the question of what the hell is up with no pc releasedududf said:You, me, and every other FPS Eve online player agree.Worgen said:wait... this isnt coming out on the pc? what the fuck?
Seriously, what the fuck? Also IIRC, CCP has 0 experience on the PS3. So not only using different infrastructure then what their coders are used to, but then abandoning the group... that this game is made to help/assist.
Seriously, what the fuck?

That's uhh... actually pretty sweet.bob1052 said:Its 100% multiplayer shooter set in the EVE universe on consoles that will have direct communication to EVE players playing actual EVE and will allow negotiating/coordinating things such as orbital strikes from actual players playing EVE.Tdc2182 said:I don't really understand the gimmick of this game. So it's just a single player Eve online?
yeah because people who like flying in space totally overlap with fps heads, if they were smart about it they could combine it into one game but it sounds like the 2 different game types will be separated by a wall besides it wouldnt have split the game, if anything it would make it more popular, this just kind of seems like a fuck you to pc fps playerssalinv said:It was never intended for PC release, just as a different way to interact with the EVE universe.

See this I understand, much as I think it's a shame. That said, I do wonder just how much it really would cannibalise the EVE player-base, even though they will interact with each other Dust514 and EVE are very different beasts as games go. An FPS simply won't scratch the same itch.On the prickly issue of there not being a PC client, Farrer explained: ?we don?t want to cannibalise our own player-base.?
Interesting point, but who's to say that its going to be a 1-1 ratio when it comes to Eve players hiring mercs, I get the impression, that for a corp to win a battle they are going to have to essentially hire an entire matches worth of PS3 players (the number of players per match is yet to be confirmed), in allot of cases that is going to be more than the number of players in the corporations hiring them.Keava said:EDIT: I'm actually thinking they might want to limit the amount of people playing DUST. EVE doesn't have 10 million players, and not everyone on EVE is active in the "land control" gameplay. Mercs could easily be more numerous than actual EVE players at this point.. or their "price" would drop due to supply:demand issues.

Hey you're back. And they hired a new group to work on this game, all people with some PS3 experience.dududf said:You, me, and every other FPS Eve online player agree.Worgen said:wait... this isnt coming out on the pc? what the fuck?

Nuke them from orbit... it's the only way to be sure.
