Just came across a game by CCP called http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/06/06/introducing-dust-514-a-persistent-shooter-from-ccp/.

Watching the video, it just looked like a generic FPS. Some of the effects from the wording is recycled from a few other games i'v seen it in. I think Crysis used it as well, I don't remember.

Apparently, this will be something similar to EVE online where everything you do will have impact in the overall universe. But I'm not sure how much I buy it.

Doubt i'll pick it up when it comes out, unless it turns out everyone is playing it.

What do you think?

Oh look, another thread.

I'd suggest you read the article again.

Ya. Its a FPS with elements like EVE has. Where you're battles have effects, solar systems are inhabitable, etc.

Regardless, they are still trying to stretch a game in two different directions.

Only on consoles. :thumbsdown:

You have 5 threads on page 1 alone, give the new thread button a rest!

Well, I'm really interested in the concept of uniting the PC MMO community with the console community. It has a lot of potential. I really hope CCP can pull this one off, because if they do it could bring about a mini revolution in online gaming.

However, I'm not very happy to read about the micro-transactions. It sounds like you're going to have to pay to get all the good stuff and I'm not a fan of that at all. I'll be keeping my eye on this one.

The game isn't like EVE, the game is EVE. It has direct tie ins with the EVE universe.

Yeah, events in EVE will affect events in DUST 514 and vice versa. Or so I've heard.

If CCP can pull it off, it's going to add a whole new layer of complexity to EVE. Just what new players wanted!

Seriously though, I think it's a pretty neat idea. I'll enjoy my EVE regardless though.
