EVE General Discussion

give it a bit, maybe there will be

I'm going to be the mad optimist on this thread.

Gunjack looks like a stepping stone to a much greater experience.

If you think about the sad little Dust monkies, what can they do to engage with the superior capsuleers of Eve?

Not much. Not much at all. They are so insignificant that we barely notice them, and if we do notice them, it is only ever in order to drop ordinance on their pathetic terrestrial ambitions.

Wouldn't it be great, for the Dust community, if their character could jump into a anti space ship cannon and start giving some serious firepower back to the Eve community?

Wouldn't it be great if a Dust Monkey TM could kill an Abaddin? Or a Vixor? Or an Exeqruroror?

Wouldn;'t it be great if taking part if Dust campaigns was dangerous, and had some opportunity cost?

It would be great. Dust folk would become relevant in Eve, and the firery crucible of New Eden would benefit from the increased depth of game play.

So, when I look at Gunjack, I see CCP investing in code. Code and methods.

The good folk at CCP know they face bottlenecks in data transfer to allow real time interactions throughout the Eve universe. But they also know that those limitations are being ground down by hardware technology and software ingenuity.

Because I am a generous soul, I believe CCP are doing what they can, for the moment. They are building a robust set of code to manage the local CPU/GPU load of the first person terrestrial shooter "into space". If they have even a small income stream to keep that project going, they can refine the code and perfect that IP asset.

Once the networking evils and bandwidth limitations resolve themselves, CCP will be able to "plug together" Gunjack code and Eve Online code, and also Dust code. Then New Eden will be truly beyond the reach of competition, as it will constitute whole games worth of local code, interlinked with long engineered server based code.

Until CCP Falcon tells me I'm wrong (again), I intend to believe that CCP are working towards this long term goal.

yeah I wouldn't say no to a PC port. I feel awkward about going all "Rain-Man" on the bus as I try to stare at things only I can see.\
At least on PC I don't have to leave my mom's basement.

And it is crazy fun. The first few levels are easy but then it just gets ridiculous.

more work on eve online, scrap everything else.

(unless dust is ported to PC, i'd actually play it then).

p.s. late as hell to the thread.

=)

Damn right about that. So far I have demoed it to most on the service desk here and now they are looking at getting their own devices.

Down side is I had my high score popped.

Got my s7 edge already and just signed up for the free gear. Can't wait to try it out

That initial scene where the spaceship rolls in ... very nicely done, eve is such an epic asset to explore in VR, would love to see more like that.

After that intro the game is a bit meh, turn head, shoot ship, repeat.

Im confused,

Aren't gunjack and valkryie the same thing ?
