EVE General Discussion

What? Apart from the fact that I'd need to buy a Playstation, which I've no intention of doing?

CCP addressed EvE player's concerns about what happens if DUST dies down and stops being played - I've never owned a console but I can't imagine anyone who has one has a large attention span. The statement went something along the lines of, "don't worry it won't significantly effect EvE gameplay if DUST dies."

In other words, DUST will have so little interaction with EvE that it will be almost utterly pointless from our perspective. DUST looks great and I'm sure it will join the millions of other FPS games out there in being successful for a few months, but what then?

I see two options:

1. Sever any link between DUST and EvE and make it a stand-alone game. Let's face it EvE players are never going to accept DUST players anyway, and will most likely grief the hell out of them in any possible way they can. DUST bunnies just don't know how mean things can get around here.

2. Release it on PC too. While incredibly unlikely as this seems, it WOULD address more than a few concerns.

Attention span on shooter exist for one reason, there is no depth with some of these games.

Dust 514 skill tree is similar to Eves last time I have been informed.
The persistence impact is a depth none of these games can barely address and a free expansion every 6 months vs other games 55$ expansion every year would help retain numbers of active players.

They also dont want to release on PC, if they did they'll probably GUT the Eve player base, you dont want to slay two games at once with one flop.

And if you are going to whine and cry about not having kb and mouse for the shooter PS3 supports and dust 514 devs said theyll will allow it for combat now.

What Nova and Ranger both said...for the love of Zeus's nipple...do some research before you make yourself look like an idiot.

Also the dust 514 and eve link are pertty strong in terms of interactivity.

Both will be using API
Both will be the same Corproate interfaces (kernel wise to say, the shell will be different if they where operating systems)
Both will be using the same market (once again different shells dust 514 stated to only see dust items at the beginning)
Both will be using eve voice variant (currenlty there seems to be an issue with eve voice on the ps3)

Both will be subject to metagaming.
Both will be more than capable of allowing for backstabbing.

The link we dont know too much about and are begging for more information about is

Industry
Sov
Piantary Interactions.


My best guessing says that orbital elevators turns planets into a nearly unassailble XL star base unless you get an invasion force.

my guess is a PC release will happen eventually - just not during the first couple of months after launch.

There's plenty of ways the games cna be related to each other yes. But not in any meaningful way by CCP's own admission. You can't link the two games in any useful way as if DUST dies, so does EvE. That is what CCP have said themselves.

Oh for fucks sake..we've heard it all before.

QQ 1. I dont own a console! and by that extension everyone who does is some sort of douche bag, riddled with ADHD.
News flash captain ******* obvious. Many a person owns a console... Gasp even eve players! On top of that games like halo 3 and MW2, and many others still have populations playing them.

QQ 2. I'm actually just to cheap/broke to buy a console. I'm also afraid I might actual like a few games on it. (There are in fact good games.) but I should not have to buy a system to play a game... Even though I already bought a PC which I require to play games...and will eventually have to upgrade to keep playing them or buy a new PC. (So the argument against buying a console is ******* dumb because you already buy a piece of hardware to play games. Point in fact you're using it to QQ on the forums.)

QQ 3. Seriously though I wanna play on PC! CCP you betrayed me.
Ok time to get over it. CCP is not near the first company to develop for different platforms. Fact of the matter is with how cheap many eve players are they dont have the hardware to run DUST.

QQ 4. Even though I really want to play it but refuse to or can't I still hate anyone that might hate it. So many other players must as well and we plan on orbital striking them ruining their fun.
We still have next to no idea how much interaction will be between the two games. Most everything is speculation at this time.

QQ 5. I'm going to repeat myself a dozen times and keep bitching about the same redundant things over and over.
We should really learn to ignore **** like this. I suppose were all a little guilty. Shame on all of us.

Could be please stop QQ'ing about dust till I dunno it actually comes out or more news is released which is then even worth burning calories over?

Yeah I have to say the die hard fans following dust 514 is doing a good job keeping me informed and cant seem to stop drooling over the idea that every bullet they shot is going to change something.

I consider this whine a bit more rediculous than the call to nerf the gallente shot gun.

I cant remember where (think it was in one of the blogs), but I think they did state that they'll increase the player counts over time, to allow Dust to first become populated and get a rough idea how big battles should be I.e. no point setting it to a very large number, if it means all players fighting on a planet are in that one battle, and thus meaning the ownership of the planet could change after literally, one battle And vice versa, no point setting it too small, if it means that there are so many battles it's hard to keep track of. (Also the maps will be procedurally generated, so the team sizes may play a part in that).

Also they have said that Dust will be expanded upon using the same model as EVE (i.e. yearly/half yearly expansions), so always room for new content to keep it alive, plus once PS4 comes out, they just need to make a PS4 version and get that set up for players to obtain

I bolded the pertinent parts of your post.

I meant what I said, you have no idea what you are talking about.

You don't play console games, you don't understand what the feed back in the gaming industry has been towards the concept of a game like DUST, and you have no idea how the two will interact.

Yet you feel motivated to provide us with your very biased point of view.

Thanks.
