Is it just me or does Notch's latest game sound like an EVE ripoff?

Go check out the site..........just read about it on IGN. The game's official website is http://0x10c.com/

Seems like a simplistic attempt at imitating EVE in an apocalyptic setting. Seems dull.

EDIT: The backstory stinks too.

Quote:
In a parallel universe where the space race never ended, space travel was gaining popularity amongst corporations and rich individuals.

In 1988, a brand new deep sleep cell was released, compatible with all popular 16 bit computers. Unfortunately, it used big endian, whereas the DCPU-16 specifications called for little endian. This led to a severe bug in the included drivers, causing a requested sleep of 0x0000 0000 0000 0001 years to last for 0x0001 0000 0000 0000 years.

It's now the year 281 474 976 712 644 AD, and the first lost people are starting to wake up to a universe on the brink of extinction, with all remote galaxies forever lost to red shift, star formation long since ended, and massive black holes dominating the galaxy.

Not at all.

First of all the game is almost certainly going to look completely different, maybe even be 2d.

The combat mechanics are based on load balancing different power systems on the fly, which eve doesn't even have.

Also, it's single player and multiplayer, and includes landing on planets.

And of course the main focus of the game is that the ships run on an old school emulated 16 bit CPU. Presumably it will run subroutines that control the individual components of the ship. Scripting this CPU will be a huge part of the game, probably the main appeal (much like redstone and minecraft, except with much more power). In this sense the game is much more like X3 than Eve. Computers run even when the player is logged off, so perhaps you can manage automated mining and trading fleets?

Sounds cool, but not like eve.

Hard to say. He made minecraft, which is a fairly different game from anything I've ever seen before.

We'll have to wait and see.

Tera Online will have a Plex system and OW PvP servers.

I laughed at all the little l33tsters when they tried to suggest it was like EVE though.

Well it worries me, love my EVE, and don't want to see it tarnished by some third rate knockoff lol. But then again I never could get into Minecraft, so I may be a little skeptical in general.

Hard to tell. It's not as if EVE is 100% original either - Elite, Galactic Trader and even Starflight come to mind. If you're going to make a role-playing spaceship game, certain common design elements can't be avoided. Everyone expects spaceships to have "shields" for instance, thanks to Star Trek. If you're going to have a space-ship you can configure you are going to have to set hard limits on equipment size, and if you model energy at all, then energy use/unit time - call it "capacitor" or "watts" or whatever.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. EVE is obviously good because we are all here - but I certainly don't expect it to be the last word in spaceship games for the rest of time. The bar is set quite high though.

Actual competition for CCP???

Best thing that could happen to this game.

Do you often obsess on things of insignificance? I ask 'cause I offer counseling sessions for just such a thing.

It's interesting that another MMO publisher is finally copying the PLEX system - do you have a link to this?

We'll talk about rip-offs when "hard sci-fi" applies to EvE.

Not enough info to tell if it's an Eve clone.
