Dust 514 trailer: see the MMO FPS of the MMO

this game looks epic! it caught my eyes like killzone 2 did hope to see more of this >

I started playing Eve about a month and a half ago. Seeing how Eve evolves makes me really excited for how this game could turn out. I hope it's good and become "the FPS" to own for all three systems.

Especially if all three systems are cross-compatible.

SEXY

I'd love to see a game look like that when you're playing it.

Gameplay footage, please! (Yes, I know it's pretty early)

I recommend watching the Broken Pixels on WWE Crush Hour.

This is what I want and need. Hope they make something great!

Somehow reminded me of Battlefield 2142... 'specially those Mother Ship type thingies.

Looks kind of bland, but if it really ties directly into the EVE universe, it could be amazing.

I always liked the idea of Eve, where the biggest guild could be collapsed by subterfuge, were bank runs actually happen. But I tried playing it, and it seemed like it would take years to get to a point where I could have any influence over these kind of events. If this works like the rest of Eve, but with fpsing instead of mining, sign me up.

Oooooooh.. this is looking sweet, can't wait for it.

Didn't pick up EVE cos I don't like fees and it didn't have much action, but was very impressed by the backdrop and graphics, coming up with this was an excellent move.

This is awesome

Please sir, can I have some more?

Looks like this could be Planetside upgraded in all the ways people wanted.

I never understood why MMO FPSes didn't take off more. Think about how much time people play FPSes on servers, and will die constantly without any preservation of their gear, or how many people will 'grind' to get unlockable weapons, etc etc etc

I hope they do this well. It seems like the economy is in place from EVE, so I'm excited to see how much power the FPSers have over making a lasting impact in the game world.

Why is the PC tag on this game? CCP has said absolutely nothing about a PC release for this title, and everything I can find about it says it will be console only.

Frankly I think it's a stupid decision. If they're going to make a console game it should be on PC too. They are abandoning the advantages they have in the PC market for a market that has repeatedly failed to support any sort of MMO games. On top of that, they're entering a market that is already dominated by a pair of sci-fi shooters. I really don't see any good business validation for this aside from the tired old "the console market is bigger" argument.

In case someone hasn't seen this yet:

After the quick replay of the old trailer, keep watching, they play through an example match. It does look and play alot like battlefield, except you need to purchase vehicles, and have a commander above the action controlling troops in an rts style. This aspect sounds really intriguing to me. I've been playing EvE for the last 5 months, and while the learning curve is somewhat steep, it really does seem like a vast world where anything is possible. It's really fun. Even better, as someone who runs a business and has a social life, I don't need to "grind" to get the most out of the game.

Also, I should mention that the micro-transaction payment method for Dust at first had me really concerned. Thoughts of "horse armor" popped into my head. After reading an article, I started to reconsider. Basically players can purchase blueprints of weapons, but won't be able to use them unless they are unlocked through in-game achievements and advancements. This means you can't "buy-win". Also, they are simply blueprints, so they'll require in-game resources, etc. This allows the people who want to play every once in a while to play and use other people's weapons on the cheap once they are able to in-game. Those that are a bit more dedicated will pay because they are invested in the game. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the community, because while I wouldn't want this model to be used with a game like Modern Warfare 2, I think it may just work with Dust.

I still can't understand why, in the future when both sides have epic murder-ships, they still employ ground troops that can only win battles at a local scale, as opposed to a single ship2ship battle that decides the alliance of a single planet. Future us are stupid.

Please tell me why I'm wrong.

Thank god i have an Xbox and a PC im a eve player will soon be a Dusty Eve player :)

Is it just me or is this game getting no attention for good its looking, graphic engine looks very nice. Can't believe this is the same as the engine that will be running INCARNA (aka Walking in Stations) for eve...

Its funny if this is what the Incarna engine is capable of does that mean Walking in Stations will turn into, seiging stations and ground assaults eventually, or bar brawls! w00t, or who knows maybe Corp Meeting griefing with some grenades

That looks wild. I like what CCP is doing with the EVE Online universe by seperating it into two games, since there are probably a lot of folks like me who appreciate the fiction and want to try it out but are intimidated by the grinding spreadsheets gameplay. It looks like this way there will be options for both the eggheads who enjoy the resource management and microeconomics aspects as well as the ones who just want to jump into the gunfights.

I'm all for MMO FPS, but when you have a HALO rifle, Warthog, and a Scorpion in a trailer for a non-HALO game, that tends to freak me out.
With design so "highly inspired" by other famous series, I'm sure this will make a solid game, but will definitely lacking innovation department.
