Hi all,

CCP just released a new trailer for the new MMOFPS called Dust 514 which runs along side EVE Online. Basically, EVE Online players will recruit Dust 514 mercs to fight battles for them on the planets.

Watch the video and you'll get a better idea but it sounds amazing if it works out properly!

EDIT: I assumed this would be PC like EVE. The Ars article doesn't stated but seen as the other thread exists, mod feel free to move/delete/merge.

Rumors have been floating about this for months now, however, it was suspected it was going to be console only.
 
Console only and therefore it won't live long, not sure why'd they'd put so much effort into integrating it into the PC side of things.

Sure it will be great when it's released, couple of hundred thousand people playing it, but in 6 months time? Do console shooters last that long?
 
god damn it!
would have got it for xbox but I'm not shelling out £300 for a PS3 just for this.
 
Might get back into Eve for a while when this goes live.

Sending thousands of console gamers to their deaths is an opportunity that can't be missed.
 
Great promise, but ccp have to get it dead right and deliver from the off.

The luxury they had when they launched eve, and the entrenched playerbase they half deliver on in recent years, doesn't exist in the fast moving juganaut of the console market.

About the game, id take everything with a pinch of salt at this point in time. Nothing concrete has been laid out, and the viral spin is in full effect.

Be interesting to see what works with vita on the mobile platform, something that ccp have wanted to break in to, but have never taken a solid direction on, could be that it's as intergrated with the pc client as it is with the console main game.

As with all things eve/ccp related though, wait and see what they actualy come up with... incarnica, plantary, faction fare, all have come up half short in what they talked big on in the initial breifs.
 
Terms and service needs overhauled?
That pretty strange, as they did absolutely everything they could to win the GFWL badge when it could be grabbed for EvE itself. I feel restricting themselves to a single console may allow them to DLC better, but with that console being PS3, it would suggest no chance of a PC port at any quick stage.

We'll see, this game has been talked about since fanfest 2006 or so, so it'll be interesting to see where it goes now.
