CCP announces Eve Online FPS Dust 514 Gamescom 2009

[scrblue777]

now what they need to do is let me land on the planets and fight fps as a clone and If I die instant cloning pod in ship and allowing people in a part of my ship for ground units to release into another planet (of the same clan or whatever you call it which have there own ships at the docks that I would take them to later)

[TheMarvelousHat]

HOLY SHEYUT

[BragDelhi]

Seriously, what's with all these 'Enter Your Text Here' annotations?

[mountainman1414]

when does it come out

[counterlogicman]

A lot of new info has come out on dust 514 over the past months. Everything has almost been explained. Head to CCPs youtube channel and watch all the vids! A lot of people are missing the point of this game its to bring people together and expand ccp to consoles there never going to port to pc it wouldn't make any sense too. Yes keyboards pwn controllers. FPS out of the different genres on consoles is what consoles do best out of them. No one cares if you pwn at CSS. CCP has canged gaming foreva

[alexkohnen]

I can't tell what hes saying. He sounds funny.

[09fungus]

its going to be ported to pc and tied to eve because they both effect eachother anyway the pc eve players are going to want that shit hardcore and bitch and moan till we get it lol

[VarykGerai]

Rather have them develop and polish it for the console first

[mazeut]

I always thought something like this should be done somewhere. The console only things a drag, but I guess pc players with mouse control would eat the console players alive.

[TakeOnNE1]

You act like aiming with a mouse is harder. A console controller is.

[MasterMegaManX]

I really like this, but lack of PC version makes me wanna punch a baby.

[azile0]

Gah, no PC release. Damn. Confirmed by Devs on EVE TV.

[counterlogicman]

As seen in the new dev blog on eve-onlines website. We have been sent back to speculation and rumors. Sov mechanics will be completely thrown out and redone. As a hardcore PvPer and as a member of a 0.0 sov power block i can say YEEESSSS!!!! FINALLL!!!!!!! thoughts?

[ChimearaGrand]

cool for the planets but.... what will happen when the ships warp THROUGH the planets? and good that it's only on consoles. too many people (95%) hack or mod on PC FPS's

[cheesedie]

the graphics for planets on eve online are circular skins with no solid filling, so, it doesnt really matter.

[BlahBadboy]

the PC players movement in space is ENTIRELY seperated from those on the ground the only time EVE players interact with ground troops is when the batlle is about to start or currently underway so when a ship in space warps through the planet the ground battle isnt touched plus warping doesnt work that way essentailly when you warp you are not still in the same dimension of the solar system thats why you can warp through things because to them you arent there

[Ender20]

retarded comment is retarded.

[ahuramazda123]

Can't wait to hear more about this at FanFest! But I think I"ll stay away from Dust, and just keep to flying internet spaceships.

[Shadawa]

I agree. Making dust 514 for PC would ruin the game, Eve alliances would be overpowered. Keeping it on console makes relations slightly more difficult, and everyone has the same capabilities as opposed to PC where it's much easier to do things such as hack or use little addons which give you the unfair boost. Not to say PC FPS's suck, they're indeed my favorite, just saying that I believe Dust 514 is much more suited for Console than PC

[G0D666]

console only? what the fuck kind of heinous bullshit is going on here?

[BhoyWonder1991]

i hope this NEVER makes it on the PC that would just make it shit because it would be easy for big alliances to take planets. so i think some thing should be left out of our control. plus most of us have a console enyway

[metmilitia]

mouse + keyboard> controller

your much faster+better options+more responsive, ect ect

[counterlogicman]

its not about what is easier to use. there trying to reach a new audience and get them involved in the eve universe.

[dvdrom24]

ohh yeah!!! 10 / 10 :D

nice now I just have to buy a xbox360^^

btw... Death to amarr!!!

[HandyMan101]

"It's a FPS. And the console controller is best suited for an FPS game....."

I can't believe I just read that

apparently you've never used a mouse in counter strike.

[HandyMan101]

and those are wrong on both accounts

console controller\FPS and the word "best" when referring to the controller is totally wrong.

[HandyMan101]

Ok

you keep your controller

and I'll walk all over you

This was already proven by halo players having to be seperated on different servers from the PC community, cause the console people were getting destroyed.

[cheesedie]

well aslong as its only consoles on the fps, then its equal.

[MagicDucky]

OMGWTFBBQ!

[kashikomarimashita]

Sweet!

[tangocolt02]

What a lovely screw you to the players who have been loyal to CCP for 5 years... SCREW YOU TOO CCP *cancels account for good*

[counterlogicman]

How dose that at all screw the pc players?

[Douken]

lol wtf? xD are you kidding, this is the most original thing ever, it revolutionates gaming. It completes EVE. It's perfect. The only drawback is that now in space, we have more things to worry about and more work to do to control and sovereign. But I guess that's work of the Diplomat. This is just perfect.

[Nirion2]

what a tool

[Sargethepyromaniac]

theyre expanding out, and broadening their horizons, eve players will control the systems while the 12 year old halo players will control the planets.

[anozwe123]

thank you CCP for being revolutionary

[AC8Gambler]

Holy shit! So now when I'm in a ship, I look at a planet there will actually be a real war waging right underneath me! HOLY SHITTT!!!!

CCP you have broken a gaming barrier XD

[turgore]

are those how the graphics will look like ?

[CoyoteJack2]

@turgore, its the same engine for ambulation, so yes

[Kevlord22]

Why console? NOOOOOOO

[PeveleyWhat]

You all are missing the point.... there's tons of hardcore gamers that never touch a PC, There's ton's of PC gamers that never touch a console.. the point is to bring them together.. It's not supposed to make you want to buy a console its so you can get your friends who only play with console to play online and help you and vice-versa.. its the best game concept in the history of gaming and you all are b**ching and moaning about it! WTF?!

[Kevlord22]

not everyone like the joystick... xD

[AC8Gambler]

This man just spoke the real deal! It's awesome... Now my friends that aren't MMORPG players can actually help me on my MMO! Wow... CCP just went through a MAJOR gaming barrier.

Major cudos to them!

[skram0]

i came when i saw this game

[lusulpher]

This is my dream of a galactic conquest game.

Every theater has combat whether economic, diplomatic, or physical.

Theaters of combat can be seen on differing scales and have interaction between each.

RTS AND RPG = Vietnam style hardcore combat sim. Orbital Bombardment and intel = WW2 style sim.

I jizzed my pants. And my future children will be playing this game and wondering what came before.

[Hawkster1005]

2 things.. #1 since its for SOV rights all its going to be is all the same guys on there consols fighting for the earth rights they already have in space

#2 I play Gears of War on My PC..all you need is an online account ..so if its the same with this game you should be able to play it without the console

[Tolandstife]

meh idk what i think of this...

kinda cool that you get a FPS with EVE feel... but it effects Sov?... eh!? idk how i feel about that...

[HandyMan101]

Interesting they would put an FPS on a console that doesn't have the controller for it.

Much better suited for PC.

[twoperrin]

Its a FPS. And the console controller is best suited for an FPS game.....

[Douken]

ummm No

[HandyMan101]

Fail

Non PC eve

I'm not buying a console for this.

[lusulpher]

Neither am I, I'm just going to pay them to be grunts and continue amazing the rewards.

And what exactly rules out a PC version.

What i want to know is if EVE subbers get access to this for free?

[krixelis]

Awesome

[counterlogicman]

The eve sov power blocks are cowering in there boots =)

[kazzsaru]

..to the point that you can soo see that CCP's going to pre-nerf DUST's apparent sov-effects to zero, thereby removing what they're advertizing.

[counterlogicman]

was a kidding around comment it actually wont work like your thinking it will. taking certain things on planets will generate income and increase the rate at which you take sov in the system plus the system must have habitable planets to use the dust soldiers on. It wont enable you to take systems just by the planets =)

[malfredo115]

Amazing. CCP is going places!
