Love the concept and idea but sometimes the best laid plans turn out badly. Take your time on this and get it right is my main say in this. The ambition is admirable and I cant wait to see what happens with it. I hope it adds a whole new complexity to the game. I also hope you keep it in the niche you are looking for and not making a huge GoW map. I understand why a small portion are upset as you teased how it would affect EVE but gave zero detail. I think this is so you can change things as needed and do not lock yourself in to anything. Way to lead the way into what could be an interesting future for the sandbox and MMO genre. Anyways I hope its successful but again take your time and make your decisions wisely. |

Originally by: Jas Dor So let me ask an uncomfortable question. Console game sales are down something like 23% this year. What happens if CCP ties EVE Online mechanics to Console Gaming, the console games fails, and we have a couple thousand people with limited availibility console games calling the shots in 0.0?
Just an opinion and speculating like most but I think the affect on 0,0 space might be more minimal than folks think. Although the idea is outstanding you bring up a valid point. Also if the fps is as complex as EVE then you knock down the number that will play even more. I honestly think that at some point the console only part will disappear. It might be 6 months or so but still think it will. Exclusives happen all the time so people need to just calm down and be patient. This could be 2 yrs out for all anyone knows

Originally by: JitaPriceChecker2 I feel backstabbed.
And beside that , how many console players tend to stick with the game ?. What if the game will die in 6 month or so ? Who will be conquering planets then ?.
Realising it only to consoles is a fail and backstabb( due to additional fee,game cost, and most importantly new platfrom ) to EVE ONLINE community.
In fairness a large amount of FFXI players are console, around 45% I think a poll said taken a few months ago. So if its good people will stick with it. This isnt Warhawk we are talking about here. I understand that most console folks move from game to game but most console games are single player and most online are the same maps over and over and over. This could change all that.

Originally by: Forge Trader Just had a follow up question:
What is the idea behind trying to add a "third person shooter" game on a different OS, and different hardware, to EvE on line?
Doesn't CCP have any respect for the brand? What are they thinking?
Didnt they say they wanted to make the EVE universe available to more people. I dont really see this as disrespecting the brand.

It really makes me sad to think of a game occupying that universe I have come to love and dumbing it down to the extent that the average console gamer will accept it.
I will die a little inside when I see a group of soldiers running about aimlessly without any tactical sense, and hopping back and forth like super mario rejects. Then dying and respawning 10 seconds later fully armed and armored and ready to run back into battle.
Can you imagine the rage and tears that would flow if they were actually knocked out of the fight after dying one time? Then the screaming that would occur if they had to PAY for a new clone and then rearm and armor themselves each time? That's pretty much what eve players have to live with. And I like it. It's Eve. It's why I play and I believe why Eve has been as much of a success as it has been. You are messing with that proven concept and the potential for dragging down the game I love scares me.
All speculation and assumptions. There was a time people could say flying around in empty space was dumbed down and how times have changed. A FPS can be complex if made properly and see no reason CCP cannot do that. No one has any info on what you assume in your post beyond a prejudice people have against people who play those games. I do not play those and I do not participate in console gaming just fyi. I just think its siily to assume so much so soon.

Another good point to DUST is they obviously have EVE in mind for many many more years. WoD is great and all good but the plans seem to be laid for another 6-10 yrs of EVE considering it might be 3 yrs before DUST even hits.

No clue but seen the 3yr mark thrown around quite a bit.
