Wow, and FPS which gives people even More reasons to act like dicks... Actually, I can see that working really well! As a concept, it sounds amazing, I don't think it'll ever come to PC because there's no way to balance across the platforms unless you set up separate servers. I look forward to certain people becoming hugely successful mercenaries + then getting Dog-piled by some 50 players because they can + the developers have pretty much just let the EVE galaxies govern themselves

Crikey, that cinematic kinda overdoes it on the grey/brown colour palette. The screenshots at least do look better, but why on earth would they make it a PS3 exclusive? I suppose trying not to steal their current PC market share by dragging players away from EVE. It's a shame since I'd be pretty tempted to give it a look over it was on the PC.
Surely could have been better? Rather than the FPS player begging for help from the orbital strike why not have the corps pay and fund their own mercs to capture resources or engage in skirmishes.
Why not have "Teams" of people or certain individual skill levels. You then get paid money to fight, the worse you are the cheaper you are, for a corp to capture a planet or fight another merc team. You then complete objectives vs AI planetary defence troopers OR (If another corp has hired players also) against another merc team. You take contracts and get paid to turn up into the match at the given time to fight. Your objectives are not just death match, capturing resources intact is an important factor and battles can rage in different places, ranging from siege to skirmish warfare.
VERY skilled corporations will own and fund their own elite teams who know and communicate to take an objective. Lower ones will have rag tag bunches of variously skilled players, hire and chosen based on match record. Outside of this mode "Training" team deathmatch is possible in normal modes and you can turn "Make me hire-able" on and off.
Doesnt this sound fucking awesome? I hope the game is more like this.

It still plays exactly like any old fps. I have been playing it for a couple months now and although it hasnt been integrated with eve for very long nothing has changed. It is still the exact same as playing mag except that its spawn system makes call of dutys look flawless.Samantha Burt said:You've missed the point a bit; this is going to be integrated, in real time, into EVE. I can load up my destroyer, fly it to a planet and start nuking them from orbit (it's the only way to be sure) if I want. Or if they pay me enough. I could have supplies sent to a soldier in battle, as far as I know. Someone in a completely different part of the world, on a completely different plaform, playing a completely different game. It's as Massively Multiplayer as you can get.
OT: I'm not surprised. EVE has always been about organic PvP so this makes sense. What I look forward to is the whining about losing your equipment when you die
As for losing your equipment that is a complete joke right now as you make massive amounts of money from each match. My current outfit costs around 200,000 a death and I lose money once every twenty matches or so.
The current maps are dirt, dirt, dirt, and dirty metal buildings. Literally the only colours you will see are brown and grey. They have said that they want to add vegetation in the future though.Danarok said:
Even though I'll never play EvE or Dust, I really really like this concept. Two different games, same universe, and there are perks to connecting to people in each game.
I'm all for games working into other games and such.

Quick off topic question, what are some good JRPGs for the PS3? I really want to get into the genre, and I'm trying to with my DS, but I don't want it just for a few of my platforms, I want to actually try and get a full experience.Shinsei-J said:
I'm new to online shooters and I've only started playing this recently, but I'm having lots of fun. Figuring out all the different skills and how I want to spec my merc took some time. I was invited to join a Corp. and the matches I've played with them have always been fun win or lose.
My only major problem is the spawns in the Ambush matches. You can and will spawn in the middle of some enemies and be killed before you can take two steps. Doesn't happen all the time, but it really sucks when it does several times in a row.
