Dust 514 - Eve comes to consoles
- Thread starter AGD
- Start date
He says in the interview that it's made for consoles in the interview. Also says this on the preview link from OP:
The preview is right in that long-suffering PlanetSide fans will be all over a game like this. The way CCP has stuck with Eve and gradually expanded it over the years is exactly what SOE should have done with PlanetSide.
The concept sounds really good to me, a straight FPS but in a bigger universe with more going than just what you're doing. Personally I don't like the idea of micro-transactions so will be interesting to see how that will work. Unfortunately the bar is set pretty high for FPS games these days and people expect a lot so they'll really have to do a good job to make it a hit.

Le Google!
I'm fairly sure they mean MMO in the way people think Guilds Wars is an MMO. There will central hubs (glorified MSN) for trading/talking and area's/matches to join of limited players.
Micro-transaction based model has put me right off, would easily pay a monthly sub if it was any good but I won't even touch it now.
A lot of EVE fans must be ****ed off after what seems like being right royally shafted!

Yep exactly, it is a very bizarre move.
Good luck trying to get PS3 and 360 players together as well. In fact, good luck even trying to work with Microsoft on this. They're simply not going to let this work. Live is far too prohibitive. FFXI barely made it out the door for the console because of it.
Exclusive to PS3.
I'm interested to hear whether PS3 gamers will take this up or not. I imagine it will be subscription based like its eve counterpart (eve is also has one of the most expensive subs)

Seems stupid having two connected games....that aren't on the same platform.
I'm sure I read on the Eve forums ages ago that it definitely wont be subscription based.
Yup. It's got a micro transaction model instead.
Hah, this is a brilliantly terrible announcement. Really don't see how it can possibly work to the benefit of both games.
