dust 514

360/PS3 only IIRC, will be interesting to see how it interacts with EVE. Shame about the micro-transaction based subscription model though.
 
Its only been anounced for consoles, it may come later though. Also it wont be out before the next eve exp as this is laying the ground work for dust
 
Found myself watching a few of the EvE trailers at the weekend and came soooooooo close to resubbing. Really close shave I had there :)

Dust514 on the PC would however be awesome. The trailer is stunning on a big tv.
 
While it looks good, it really is an unknown quantity. Most console games don't exactly encourage large scale organisation and co-operation (witness why MAG isn't all it could be on the PS3) whereas in EVE the most organised and regimented are almost always the most powerful.

Thing is, if the bigger Eve corps are committed enough to start playing it to give them an advantage in Eve, any casual Dust players are going to get absolutely raped on a regular basis, and it won't be much fun.

Depends how big the environment is and how the group combat system works really. Love its concept but I think it is going to be a huge challenge to implement. I can see it working more easily at faction level but at corp/alliance level it is going to be a right cluster ****.
