Out of Pod Experience

You'll forgive me if I don't rush out to suck his **** before the games are even out and they prove to be good?

No ,but the promise of a good game by Roberts is good

If I hadn't bought SWTOR, I wouldn't be the terminally disappointed chap that you love and adore today, and I didn't buy Brink unlike a DrD!

So what? There is 2 options:

It's just a space games, nothing simillar to EVE;
It'll be much like it. But so what? Look at the MMOGs today - there is tousands of them... BUT they're all actually the same, there is only 3-5 different games... But in each category there is 1-2 of the games are real, others are pure marketing project made only for a money without any inspiration about the game. And EVE was "real" at least for a first few years that is still means a lot.

In other words: real thing will never lose in this game. The question is how real EVE is now.

As for me, if it's a game where i need to be constantly online and do something to be in a good shape - it's a game for a couple of months, if not weeks. No matter how cool is it in the other things.

Well then it's a good thing because:

1. maybe CCP will bring something actually new to the game instead of wasting time on unenteresting things. Well they're interesting just for the buch of 0.0 players, who are just as easy leave this game for the better one, which has all those things that they're "don't wanted" in EVE done.
2. Well, if it'll be better, we'll be playing a greater game. It's good for us, i think? :) In this case AT LAST i'll be able to walk on my space ship or station, so it'll be bor real than the iron bricks in EVE. And it'll be fair because CCP are decided this game to be exactly that deep. Now there will be an alternative for those who wants more than that - interesting missions, exploring the DIFFERENT systems. Not just do same PVP crap every day and hoping to see some change.

For now this game is in the same state as EVE: They have promises, and CCP was showing something in the "Future vision" video. For now CCP has only the alpha version of this "Future vision" which doesn't seems to be completed very soon.

Well, if the visuals and ship physics on the game are anything to go by, and chris roberts puts the same effort into the actual gameplay and sandbox elements, then i'd say eve is in trouble for sure.


Just the graphics already blow eve away big time unless one is blind, and the fact that the game is publically financed means that publishers can go **** themselves as they have no say how far and how deep the game can be just to meet a release date or a budget, and i like that he clearly states that it'll push PC's to the limit and that consoles can go **** themselves too, so no watering down the game so that it can still play on 7 year old hardware.

Read some articles on the site, it's got my attention and i thought about EVE and this game.

I don't have much hopes for the Valve because i think they're making it just to have some money.

But the other one is really interesting, because

1. This guy made some amazing space sims, including Freelancer! Other space sims not nearly as interesting as this games. Yes. there was some space MMORPGS which was promising and failed, but this guy has some expirience. Today many games doesn't achieve success, but there is so many of them and they're all the same so most of the people don't ever hear about them.

2. This guy is inspired. He're doing this game because he want to have this expirience, to be a space pilot. And he's souds like he will do it even if he personally don't get big money for that. And the money it's just a material that will hel him to create and improve his dream game. Well, that the picture i've got.
EVE was started the same way - they don't wanted it to be the game for a million players, it's was on the old dev blogs. They're decided to create the game that THEY will love, not because market told them so. And what was the result? It's was a stunning game. And what now? They're focused on bringing more players, doesn't matte how stupid they are, doesn't matter that EVE becomes more and more easy. OK, they're decided that it's time to finally develop the avatar gameplay, so the gameplay will be more deep, so players will mege in this sci-fi environment and feel more than a spaceship... But some idiots cried on the forums - and what? Instead of dealing with it, explaining, or making stuff better, they're just scraped this great idea and fully focused on things that players told them to. They're listened to the people who never ever tried to develop games. Who's game is it and what goal does it serves? Well, now when i wrote all this stuff it is obvious that they not developing this game because they're loving or it or because of inspiration anymore. Main goal: proffit, Target: mmorpg players(not sci-fans, just an average L2, wow players). So they're doing the same thing as the 98% of the other game companies - look at the other proffitable games and try to make something like that. That why all of MMORPGs now is all the same. The only thing that still differs this game from the others is earlier achievents, when they're been interested in the game itself. But it won't be helping forever.

Well, i'm not quitting game as far as there will be a skill queue and SP is not affected by online hours. I've activated my trial 6 years ago because of that and i'm still here because of it.

Although i'm not playing, just sitting on station... Well, at least they're gave me the sofa for this :)

Of course i will be happy to see EVE to grow, but i don't see it now. And all i can do is try to kick some dev's asses on the forums... What else. If there will be shares that i can buy to support the development of new areas of this game, i'll do it...

From RPS.

“It’s a different level of scope [than EVE]. That’s why it’s called ‘Star Citizen’ and not ‘Earth and Empire’ or something. It’s more about that personal view than some big political campaign.”

Intriguing.
