So David Reed, the guy who has taken over as chief marketing officer for the last few years has been hard at work making sure that CCP shines as a beacon of solid competence and trustworthiness. No longer do we need to worry about T20 scandels, Summers of Rage or anything like that. Today we are in safe hands and as players don't need to worry about CCP screwing loyal fans over...right.....right....RIGHT!!!!!
Well if you wanted to play Valkyrie on a PC, the wait may be longer than you think

It might not be time to get out the pitchforks, but it does sound like a pretty dumb strategy to me. Oh and about it being on Oculus Rift?
Quote:GÇ£No, weGÇÖre not necessarily [basing our launch on when Oculus comes out],GÇ¥ he clarified. GÇ£While we canGÇÖt get into details here, there are other platforms that are available. It is technically possible to run this game without a Rift. ThereGÇÖs a whole bunch of different things out on the market right now.GÇ¥ |

I remember when the first rumours of Dust being a console exclusive started to float about. Everyone was pretty much on the same page, "nah thats never gonna happen" It happened.
Only CCP would even think of taking something thats caught the worlds attention and then saying Nah, we are going PS4 exclusive and it will only work with this new PS4 VR headset.

Sounds like it, if this is how game developers are thinking already.
Someone has Hilmars ear. He has been brainwashed that the future is F2P and microtransactions. Everything you hear him say points in this direction. I'm not super smart or even in the industry so I can't say for sure he is wrong. He has also been convinced that PC gaming is dead because of piracy. The fact all the evidence points against that doesn't seem to matter.
With the way Reid is talking I am expecting Valkyrie to be console exclusive using some unannounced VR console headset. It will be F2P and loaded with microtransactions. After all, that worked out great for Dust.

Not really rage, just frustration.
When all the stuff with Incarna was building the player base kept saying no. CCP kept saying yes. Eveyone knew that releasing an expansion that pretty much consisted on one room that couldn't be modified was daft.
When CCP announced Aurum players were pretty much Mah, as long as its just vanity we don't care. Then CCP went ahead and confirmed (via newsletters and emails) that they were pretty mcuh planning on releasing ships for Aurum. Players went nuts.
When CCP said they wanted to release their new come on a console right at the end of its life the players were unanimous "WTF" CCP did it anyway.
When CCP decided to give trillions of isk to one person because of er....we want to. Players p[retty much just slapped their foreheads.
I just don't understand how they thing sometimes. Remember this guys job is to get positive press for CCP. think about it, what positive press has CCP had in the last couple of years that weren't player done? What bad press have they had that was CCP done? Is he doing his job? |

To CCP devs lurking here: Guys, I understand that you're holding off before you commit to a platform. Totally get it. I'm a dev, I understand the implications. However, please look at the feedback from the PS3-only Dust. We EvE players want an accessible Valkyrie release. Dust is not very accessible to some of us, as an additional gaming system in the house is not always possible. Just, please get the feedback where it needs to be, and voice that Valkyrie would be very, very (very), welcome on PC. permalinksourcereportgive goldsave-RESreplyhide child comments

Sorry I forgot to link.

The CCP-Manifest account has been confirmed to be the man himself. So at least we know he is listening, is he hearing though? thats a totally different question.
When things kicked off with Incarna no matter what players said all he heard was "Monicles are too expensive" it took months to break through. |

I think you've got your expression reversed: you can hear something without listening, but you can't listen unless you can hear. Least-ways, that's how I've always heard that.
I did point out in an earlier post that I am not a smart man. Thanks for the correction. I am now running through past conversations in my head trying to work out how many times I sounded daft by getting that one wrong :-)

What CCP does with the money after that is their business, not yours.
They could just as easily take their profits and invest them in an Icelandic fishing fleet if they preferred, and people would complain that they weren't consulted on the type of nets being used.
Its less about being mad how CCP spend the money and more about watching CCP waste potential.
Look at the growth rates of Eve. The game grew rapidly until around Apocrypha expansion. It also happens to be around that time they pulled a lot of focus away from Eve and started spending large amounts of cash on Dust and World of darkness. As more and more focus was pumped into these new projects eve got less and less resources given to it and things started to fall apart. As new content steadily decreased the player numbers stopped growing. the players naturally (rightly or wrongly) believe that if CCP had pumped all that money into Eve we would have continued to see the population grow.
One things a fact, no way has Dust been a great investment so far. Now we see their new game heading down a bad path too. |

The slim down in devs, the slow down in production, and the overall stagnation that seems to be dwelling within CCP seems to kind of point to such a thing especially with all the rumors going around.
If that was the case, they are going to EA. Pretty much every major position thats come up over the last few years has gone to an EA guy.
