Dust 514

    Stop me if you've heard this one. FPS combined with an MMO...

    Yes it is PS3. But it is a persistent FPS. And oddly enough, it connects with EVE Online.
     
  2. The fusion with EVE did surprise me a little bit, but it does make sense...

    At present EVE is basically just a Tactical-RTS set in space with empire management once you have a fleet - so what happens when you control a space station or a planet? Simply put, Dust 514 takes you out of the birds-eye or cockpit view and goes first-person (just like how NFS: The Run is finally ripping off the ancient GTA concept)!


    [UPDATE] Suggestion: a Dust 514 sub-team to support Dragonwolf Enterprises?

    It may be no secret to most people on here that I've never been much interested in the rediculously long management process of EVE. I'm the hands-on Grunt, more attracted to MMO games like LOTRO and PlanetSide...

    With this in mind, would our admins be interested in possibly having a group on the ground to support frontline assaults of a planet, once the Dragonwolves' fleet has air power in orbit? That way, those of us who can't stand EVE can still contribute to the clan's efforts in the game-universe.

    I've always LOVED the concept of EVE but man every-time I try to get into it I get bored and lose focus. :( We had a great run in EVE as DragonWolves but it didn't pan out sadly. Sadly I don't own a PS2 either :lol:

    Here is an awesome article on Dust and what they are planning:

    Even if you don't like EVE you have to be impressed with what they plan to do with one single game world.

    It's really a glimpse at "what can be done if a developer BELIEVES they can do it" mentality that's missing from many big time developers. CCP concentrates on one world and they're able to develop it into a TRUE universe. I love this concept. I just WISH they would have gone the PC route entirely. But I see the appeal with pairing up with a console; you'll get more people into the game than on a PC (sadly). But I'm hoping that Sony/CCP does something to include a PC version of Dust.
     
  5. I think when I come back from holiday I'm going to be doing some fan models as part of an application to the studio. The E3 Trailer is featuring only standardised units but, if they really plan to make the same long-term investment as they have with EVE, I think full, faction specific arsenals for the game would be the next logical step...

    Imagine moving across the terrain dressed and piloting Gallente-inspired gear!
     
  6. Eve put out this vision of the "future" of Eve married with Dust514. It incorporates Eve's upcoming "Walking in Stations" view where you will be able to leave your pod and walk about the many space stations in Eve.

    A beginning to this is the upcoming "Captains quarters" which will be the first step towards "Walking in Stations" and will be the first time in Eve history where you will be able to leave the pod. Coming June 21st.

    This video represents the ultimate goal of an Eve/Dust future and quite frankly .. just makes me drool uncontrollably. Enjoy!!

    When does walking in stations supposedly finally come out?
