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

In the past, it has always been referred to as an attempt at beating Braben to getting Elite 4 out, so no.

The business of an in-game programmable computer is kind of interesting. Maybe he is doing what many have suggested, and designing a game around botting as an actual game-play element. (Of course, he will still have to worry about the meta-bots in that case ...)

That DCPU-16 language spec looks like he is trying to bring back assembly language programming ... which for those of us of a certain age might actually turn out to be a perverse form of, ahem, fun. Compared to spreadsheets-online, that's really raising the nerdy-niche stakes.

I am actually surprised this got the attention it has. My only hope is that if this does turn out to be an EVE clone, that it lights a fire under CCP's ass to get some of the features that so many people feel are squandered away in our game. That way we can win lol.

Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the comedian is the only thing that makes sense.

We'll have to wait and see.

Minecraft took "inspiration" from Infiniminer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNiIBryXXxA

Watch that and then think about how original minecraft was.

I am not sure if we watched the same video. You say inspiration as if minecraft straight ripped infiniminer off. All I see is a REALLY ****** looking game with blocks, like minecraft has. Doom and Quake have more in common with each other than Minecraft and Infiniminer do.

Except the website only went up yesterday and notch is doing nothing but talking about it on twitter.

I think its going to be more like minecraft in space with all the buildmod/industrialcraft mods added in is the impression i'm getting. Considering it seems to be referred to in a first person perspective with the single/multiplayer so it won't touch EVE with a barge pole Roll

How does any of that information make it look like EvE at all?

Actually, the April Fool was the name they announced, "Mars Effect". This one's the real thing.


Looks interesting, pity I have no idea how to code Smile

Oh god, assembly code is not fun. Okay it could be a little fun. I wonder, will pvp then involve trying to get your opponent's computer to run a shell code and self-destruct?

And you can play games while mining? If you can also watch netflix while mining then it IS eve.

Just because its a Sci-fi space game does not make it an EVE clone/ripoff. Which isn't an original concept in itself anyway.

Looking forward to see how this develops down the line.

We could use more EVE clones or games that adopt a similar design philosophy. I see nothing wrong with this.

Don't waste your time Tippia. The fanboy is too strong with this one.

"Doom and Quake have more in common with each other than Minecraft and Infiniminer do." Just that statement alone shows he has very little understanding of anything.
