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

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:

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.

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.

If done right, the whole EVE integration could be cool.

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.

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.
