CONSOLES ONLY?

Come on CCP, the PC is crying out for a MMOFPS

The only people developing one at the moment are SOE and you know what they're like.

Who's flying the Pelican at the beginning of that video? Another Dust player or an EVE player?

maybe dust is why ambulation has been so slow to see the light of day, maybe the war rooms in ambulation will incorporate dust, imagine being able to view a whole sector of territory in the war room and assign missions to dust players on the console realm to bolster power and whatnot.

If Hilmar isnt lying in that trailer it will have impact.

Indeed, skip to 3:10 and listen and he clearly states that the console players will directly effect 0.0 sov and the only way to get it in your favor is to pay console players to fight for you. Oh dear...

---

Ha ha, superb.

I knew any sovereignty changes would make the 0.0 crowd whine, but this will provide a great deal more than expected.

Btw. I think it is going to be awesome, and Hilmar also notes that fleet battles, POS and whatever else is also going to have an effect on sovereignty.

Oh please. Go look at the numbers for console software sales and compare it to PC sales sometime, and you'll see why the entire industry's focused more on consoles than the PC. The money's over there, and if CCP can get a chunk of that while providing a clever way to tie it into the MMO-side then more power to them.

Why is it epic fail? Lets see, more money for eve. More players who play dust will most likely try eve online. More players for the main game. CCP will have something HUGE over WoW. Will be the only games company in the world to do this.
Also you dont have to play it. Stick to your spacehships

---

I agree, the concept is really good if it works and is something completely new! thus it will propably attract many newcomers!

I LOVE THE IDEA...

I think CCP is going in the right direction with this one... Multiple games feeding and interconnected with each other is what will define MMO's in the future... whether FPS or any other game. I do hope this will be available on the PC at some point.

But this just expands the world of EVE... and anything that does that is a win in my book.

this hinges, absolubtly hinges on the audience playing Dust, try explaining pos warfare, hotdropping, titans, gatecamps blah blah to some bored 13 year old kids on consoles and there response is gonna be "lols ok then mr serious, can i haz pew pew nao?" i really dont think the people who buy dust, are gonna care about eves bigger picture, they are gonna want to pew pew people in the face, and thats it, and explaining the entire game and the importance of the grunts work on the ground, is gonna be lost on people logging in for a few hours a night on their xbox, who just want a few kills before going to bed

and paying them to do our work? if they cant get into space what are they supposed to be spending the money that we pay them on????

Guess all those years of "World Domination" speeches by Hilmar are starting to make a difference, if they pull this off, it will be quite epic.
Talk about meta-game.

---

Yep, if this is pulled off right, it will start a trend amongst other companies... I love the idea of this.

If this game is what it promises, it offers something no other FPS game has: consequences. Seeing your clan not just ruling some stats, but actually taking territory, and being respected on message boards for accomplishments - that's something that has to appeal. I'm not an FPS gamer, but I have to think that consequences and a political map has a lot of appeal, just as that had enough appeal to me to get me into this here spaceship game.

Who play with console ? who play games like "Shoot Them All" ?
Answear : kids.
We want give in kids'hand the role of take sovereignity for us? we really want this? i hope all of you say : NO
So the only way is "form" console player that come from Eve.
Some big coalition or alliance will sure do it.
Little alliance will die.
CCP have bad bad idea. They want more money, i uderstand that...but the way for do it...bah..i dont like it.

every alliance can make up their own elite dust squad, consisting of their own players. A dust battle does NOT involve more than 24-40 people on ONE side, thus making it VERY POSSIBLE to NOT have the outcome of the battle being decided by 3rd parties. Big alliances have thousands of players and you cant tell mie that they could not form their own elite squads who are on duty for the ground combat

same will probably apply for reinforcements and supplies during the combat, which will most likely also being done by fleets

New thought. With this game we can no longer refer to EVE as just a Space Game or a Space MMO, this is now a Universe unto itself full of Lore and a multitude of experiences.

---

àwhich has been a vision CCP has presented for quite some while now: EVE is not just Internet SpaceshipsÖ ù it's a SciFi sim.

---

Yes, and I always liked that, the vision that one day we, the EVE players, could walk in stations, have planetary interaction, and all that awesome stuff ...

Guess not.

Definitely.

Though it's a shame they didn't make DUST for the PC, as part of EVE, so we can jump in at any time. It would make New Eden feel more "whole" instead of being separated by game. But I think the whole point was to expand into a different audience. After all, not all EVE Online players are FPS players.

Hoping that all this proposed/alleged interactivity between the two games allows:

A) my pilot/ship in EvE, to
B) fly a "bomber" over a planet in DUST, to
C) nuke the crap out of DUST noobs on the surface of said planet, and
D) then fly home to the skankiest strip clubs in Jita for cold beer and "high 5's" with the rest of the adults.

Can't see it being worthwhile otherwise.

I read it as "Dust will be mandatory for space-holding alliances". Either way, my question remains: how so?

might also be that some eveplayers lose interest in eve because there are areas where they cant acces.

This makes me think that CCP is "testing the waters" with the console version. If the console version succeeds, they will release a PC version. If the console version fails, they will not. However, if the console version is TOO successful, CCP may decide to abandon PC development entirely as they could conclude that console development is more profitable.

What happens when the next round of consoles appear? Are CCP going to release a new version of Dust514 and have everyone go out and buy it?
