That's only in the West. In Asia it's not even on the radar.
Not that I'm belittling Eve's success, just that I thought I'd put some perspective on it. Asian MMOs are f'ing HUGE compared to Eve, and right up there with WoW.
We should just be thankful CCP likes to keep its vision of the game instead of going for what's popular with the masses.
Then again to be honest the whole fantasy thing hits Asian MMO market on the spot when it comes to what they want to play there. ________________________________________________

Originally by: dojocan81 in the first picture you can see a caldari mothership ... does that means ms' will be able to transport troops from planet to another planet ?
yes they have said so, that eve players can transport troops from planet to planet. although the player with the eve client flying the mothership cant play on the planet itself, since the dust 514 engine is a whole other department.
Can you then also dump em out of the airlock ? That would be amusing .

Originally by: Ak'athra J'ador its finished already?
from the CCP press release:ôHaving led the design and development efforts of the project from start to finish, our studio is honored to call DUST 514 our first title release.ö
?!
Yup, basically with as much information that they have given us, the console version is just about ready. They could be adding little stuff to add on a later date and to a PC version, who knows? ________________________________________________

I just hope that they either keep it very loosely associated with each other or have such hard integration, that they are basically playing Eve.
Alliances buying, selling and manufacturing weapons (Put those other moon minerals to good use), vehicles and landing craft.
Have Dust 514 Players able to command groups of drones from a command center, drop off supplys and give orders around from a command point. Soldiers duking it out using weaponry and tanks and jeeps. Pilots (Fighters, dropships) dropping off troops, supplys, attacking any ships in orbit or targets of interests.
See a lot more enviroments then just a battered city (since not every planet is an earth-like planet). But nothing like Quake indoors kind of maps. A more of a connected and sprawling deal, with multiple command posts, landing pads, destructable buildings. Be able to make new paths and break old ones down. Have one of the maps contain some Eve ships that we can run inside (used as a command center) and take over.
Allow Eve players to fly to the surface, giving bonuses to troops on the ground, shooting down transports or fighters. Fighting other people.
I'm going off on a tangent on what would make Dust 514 awesome for me, so do ignore. ________________________________________________

Originally by: LordSwift And with anyone who hates the fact that this might only be a console only game and you Wont buy a console. one i am surprised most of you dont play both. But you can say the same about WIS and Dust. If you dont like it you DONT have to play it. Just keep playing your pew pew in spaceships. Each to their own
Except WIS doesn't win Delve. ________________________________________________

Originally by: Daedalus II What makes you think a ship can sit and bombard a planet from orbit for hours on end?
The fact that a sniper Apoc with Tachyon IIs in Low-Earth Orbit has roughly a 50% chance of hitting a running human-sized target?
(Yes, I ran the numbersà )
only that a sniper apoc cant even enter low-earth orbit, because of tritanium
250km is well above the atmosphere. I'd love to see some sort of mechanic that lets you do orbital strikes with eve ships in the console game even it it is only npc ships that do the bombarding.
Again...

Originally by: Gone'Postal Looks like a cross between Halo and Unreal II.
Both of them were **** and offered bugger all in the way of things, and from the information we have, nor will this, it's another FPS clone game and there are way to many of em.
Coming from a guys who's alliance is called Mass - Effect...Irony?
He obviously supports my suggestion for Mass Effect like combat in WIS. ________________________________________________

Wouldn't this be perfect for dreads? It has to be expensive ships, otherwise the battlefield on the planets would be completely impossible to walk around on due to constant bombardment by battleships and their tach II's.
That way dreads could be useful for other things than cap vs. cap fleets and titan-gank fleets.
Gave me an idea just there about Caps having to siege even more POS shields to land Dust troops! lol oh gawd.
But I expect that a graphical update to planets will come with Dust 514 ________________________________________________

Originally by: Hyperforce99 does this mean walking in stations is or can be hybridized with dust ? How about taking over a station, no longer just shooting posses and then take the station into structure but actual fighting over controll of the structure.
I can see shooting Poses still being just a POS bash. But I could see outpost fights being completely awesome. ________________________________________________

Originally by: Cors All I can say is you better make it available on the PC too. I have a Wii, but it's to keep the wife in shape, not for gameing. I never touch the thing. Last console I owned was a Nintendo... as in an NES.
Well I have a Nintendo 64, Gamecube, PS2, Xbox, Xbox360. So I'm quite happy with a 360 release. ________________________________________________

And don't forget the possibility of Controller compatible keyboards (It's been done for PS2's Final Fantasy MMO's) that can be used in chat along with controllers. ________________________________________________

Originally by: Rovan Stargazer Man though it's only a wish, it would be awsome if we could drive players from planet to planet.
Dear Passengers this is your pilot speaking. We should be approching the planet in 10 min, if i entered the right destination that is (lol).
10 min later....
The trip will take a bit longer than expected, but nothing to wory about i even brought you a damsell in destress for your pleasure only (auto-pilot afk).
Dear passengers, if you look to your left, you will see how beautifull this universe realy is, and on the right you can see a big pirate battleship shooting at us. And yes the sound you just heard is indeed cracking of our hull. Thank god for clones eh? Oh you don't have them. Hmmm farewell then :D.

Originally by: GAJY They say what consoles want is an FPS but frigging PC is the home of the FPS and they play better on the PC. Also they're connecting the two well PC MMO players who are tired of WoW and don't want to play a game where you're a ship, they would play an MMO FPS on their PC. I know I'd play it on my PC.
stupid how the treat their PC fans as second place.
You know, cause Eve is for consoles only. ________________________________________________

Originally by: Ankhesentapemkah Hahaha from one of the most complex and inaccessible games to the most accessible and dumbed-down game genres. This is going to be a laugh.
Well when you look at it, ground troops never been to smart :D. So we will be the brains, while they shoot eachoder.
It's evil and fits in so perfectly, I love CCP. ________________________________________________

Quote:
no you got that all wrong ... CCP isn't a PC gamer's owned company, and PC gamers as you describe them do not own neither CCP nor EVE. CCP has been investing their OWN money into developing a product that if everything goes well will bring them back more money.
More money for CCP = more momey to invest back into development process, which means bigger, better eve.
on your end, you pay for a service, you get the service you payed for ... beyond that theres nothing CCP "owes" you.
I didn't say we own EvE or CCP. We pay a monthly fee and from that we expect more EvE stuff for the PC like in the past. I don't want to pay and then they come out with new awesome stuff I cant use unless I buy a console. Did they say they invested they OWN money? Their money is the money we all pay every month. You pay the government taxes but you have almost no say in what they spend your tax dollars on.
You don't have to buy Dust 514, just hire them to do your battles. Not your cup of tea fine. They just announced it and if they can make a comfortable hop over to PC they will.
CCP is expanding their technologies and their horizons. They want to raise general awareness and get a following from more than just the MMO crowd. Cause in the end they are trying to make a persistent gaming world, not just spaceships online.
This also pushes other Eve developments up on the cycle. CCP will preety much expect to release an update to SOV and also an update to Planet Graphics with the launch of Dust 514. Not to mention the animations, code and graphics is all there to keep working on WIS. And if it works well they will expend it adding into planetary flight possibly. ________________________________________________

Originally by: MaxPower 519 ^^ It is my cup of tea though I love FPS games. But I'm too cheap to buy a console for just one game!
I wholeheartedly understand. We must press the issue that Sony and Microsoft needs to kick their developers asses to make some good games to give us more than 1 reason to buy their consoles. ________________________________________________
