Read my Post #135

I already called what is happening with Eve: Valkyrie. It is just nobody wants to listen.

Mobile Platform! FTW!

Maybe, since they proved to be so amazing good in developing succesfull FPS console games, so now is a good idea to release another title for console only...

interesting fact eve was also a flop... but it had hardcore dedicated players who helped the game evolve to what it is today...


The difference is that those people paid subs. No one does for DUST. Sure, maybe some of them pay for "boosters", but you can't tell me that the majority do.

Heck, anyone I've mentioned it to automatically tells me that there isn't much in "playing a P2W shooter". Or they say "I'll stick to Planetside 2 since it's on PC".

The console game crowd doesn't like it(they are spoiled for choice anyway), the PC game crowd can't play it. What about that spells success? I guarantee you that they are losing money just on maintaining the game and staff for the game. Which means that our EVE subs are paying for it, too.

[Edit: What I'm saying is this. Why not PC? Why freaking soon-to-be-completely-replaced PS3?

After nearly needed to go to a chiropractor after witnessing first hand the incredible demo at Fanfest. I haven't swung my head around so much since going to rock concerts in the 70s Big smile

On topic

Well Custom PC Magazine Issue 123 has an article about the long waited for reappearance of Space based PC games.

Written by Rick Lane

The introduction includes this: 'players options were limited to X3 or EVE. If you weren't a fan of distinctly German-flavoured space simulations or incredibly unforgiving MMOs, the only option was to look at other genres'

It then lists and reviews 8 new PC space games on the horizon.

EVE: Valkyrie is one of them.

The end quote for Valkyrie section is 'Given the footage CCP has made available, the potential for an amazing immersive experience is very exciting'

So even if it is ported to other platforms it is coming to a PC.

Time to get those neck musles back into shape Big smile
