Dust 514

Even if you don't like EVE you have to be impressed with what CCP is planning to do with this game:

Linking one game world with another on totally different platforms and gametypes is a pretty crazy undertaking.

I am massively impressed with the idea itself.

Just sucks that:

a) its PS3 exclusive
b) only 32 player fights.

It may only be 32 player fights, that isn't locked into stone.

I hope not.

Think I'd have been a bit more wowed if it was a game design that actually linked EvE to Dust 514 in reality instead of stand alone linked by association.

What I mean is, you and your mates fly EvE ship into a territory and besiege a planet once you have air and space superiority you can then have the option of a ground assault on the capital or military base in a series of fights.
If you win you take the planet and it's defences, if you loose your ships get blown to pieces by the repaired planetary gun batteries and you have to run away with your tail tucked in an escape pod.

How much more linked can they be other than making them one and the same game.

by letting PC players access to Dust 514 too would be a big start

Cant wait for this. Been starting playing EVE again just for this.

Its something innovative and lately there has been alot of stale games that seem like the same thing.

Ill gladly play this and eve at the same time. And you guys forgot one point about Dust 514

Its Free to Play. Now im not really for micro transactions. But maybe if you have a active account on eve you will get full features of Dust 514? Brilliant if possible

Can't wait for this game to come out, it's gonna be immense.

Seeing what MAG can do for numbers I see no reason why 514 couldn't be upped eventually. At least there is no monthly fee. Depending on reviews I may get it right away or just wait on a good sale come xmas.

Before Smed started to let the models slide I was lamenting Dust being console only.
Then they announced the PS3 exclusive and shortly after PS2 was fully announced, so now I couldn't care less.
It is mightily impressive, and a very ballsie move by CCP, but the whole non-PC thing still strikes me as odd.
I loved EVE, but I'll never play it again.
However I'd love to return to its universe as an FPS, but CCP seem to think that aiming it at PC players will dilute their current player base.
Mental.

PC will hopefully get fighting in stations in the future so we won't need Dust 514 anyway. Shame it's not coming to xbox 360 but maybe Microsoft will accommodate CCP if they get good numbers.

Microsoft is being hypocritical about the XBox. Extreme Proprietarism is an an Apple trademark. Although, Sony isn't exactly a winner right now either.

I'd like to know if it'll run on the PS4.

Baneblade · 2011-07-16, 09:43 AM

Doesn't really matter right now does it? PS4 is at least two years away.
