First Footage of EVE Dev's Console MMO 'DUST 514'

Related Topics – DUST 514

The first video of EVE Online developer CCP's upcoming console MMO DUST 514 has been captured courtesy of Golem.de.

The ambitious game will directly tie into EVE Online, allowing players to fight ground-based wars on planets that exist in EVE, with the eventual goal of melding both communities of MMO players over time by way of EVE's existing corporation/alliance structure.

But I'll let CCP chief Hilmar Petursson explain the rest:

Wow, this looks amazing. Why can't the PC get games like this? In comparison, every game the PC has seems so uncreative and cliche... The far future setting looks beyond words.

So, that is a 'target render", right?

Eve account - $15 US a month.
Dreadnaught - $2 Billion ISK
Hiring a mercenary Dust group to assault a planet- $5 million ISK now, $50 million when the job is done.

Bombarding the Dust team from orbit and laughing like the machiavellian and sociopathic dickhead spreedsheet have made you, then recording the console tards emo tears and posting them on youtube? Priceless.

Minus the cost of the XL ammo.

Those crazy Icelanders ...
I hope they reconsider and release on desktops as well. RTS's just don't work on consoles and I would prefer FPS' on PC unless I can hookup my WASD+Mouse to my console. Which is a PITA.

I wanted to say this when the game was first announced - but combining FPS and RTS into a single game and releasing it exclusively on console might be, from a player standpoint, the dumbest series of decisions I've seen yet in gaming.

I must be very wrong about Xbox Live. I viewed it as a tightly controlled, closed system. Somehow merging outcomes from this game with Eve Online? I didn't think Live would allow for anything like that. I mean, what's to stop a dev from writing their game send some data over to PSN, or some middle man server that feeds data to both Live and PSN accounts?

Plz I will appreciate it a lot!

This development in this MMO is very interesting. If it succeeds it would make CCP on the forefront of MMO expertise.

CCP been talking about this for a long time, only new part really is the being on a console part...

As for whether it will succeed....I'd put it all down on that supposed 'interaction' between EVE and this game. If that, whatever it is sucks, then it's doomed, because then it's just another shooter.

Can't say I'm hopeful, Console<->Computer interaction is one of those holy-grails that's been promised time and time again and yet all have failed. Can't see CCP being the ones to finally do it....OTOH, EVE is pretty unique as far as MMOs go.
