Little?

It's based on a tabletop rpg game by White Wolf - quite popular actually... with conventions and such... so yeah.  I think they just might do fine with their already established audience for World of Darkness.

@ Methos12 Your assumption is incorrect, I know exactly what WoD is. CCP does not own vampires and werewolves, perhaps they can claim a hold on such things as Tzimisce, The Camarilla, and Bone Gnawers.

CCP loses extra points for dragging its heels.

I stand by my statement.

@ DeaconX I know sarcasm doesn't translate very well online. But that's what I was doing when I typed "little".

I think CCP can deliver on both Dust and WoD. In Eve Online they have one of the best MMO's to date that has been going strong since 2003. If there is any developer company out there that can say they know their player base its CCP. And seem to be the only ones that truely listen to the customers rather than the accountants.

I do know that they are looking at a perma death system for WoD which has already got me intrested on how they implement this. As a player of Eve Online and a RPG fan of the WoD I am looking forward to it.

Wish all the best to CCP

Really excited to see how well DUST will do and how it will influence EVE. I hope it is successful and I hope it influences futures game devs.

This is the first time two different genre will meet in the same universe over different gaming platforms and U can't wait to see the results!

you do know that WOD is not gonna be a normal mmo they are aiming at getting the EvE feeling into the game so you are entering a virtual world just like EvE so have fun...

Am I the only one who thought this article sucked.  It was basically Dust comes out this summer and hey we are still working on WoD.  Nothing really indepth that deserved an article really.

I dont have a good feeling with Dust 514, it just looked like a disaster waiting to happen. First off, PS3 only? I understand CCP wanted to tap into the console market, but restricting to only one console is just not a good move. Second FPS will always be better with keyboard + mouse.

BF-series sets the standard for online MP, I dont think Dust can meet that.

It was just announced yesterday that Dust 514 will support mouse/keyboard.  There goes half your argument.

Until they promise it will be impossible to get into and not fun , and hated by the vast majority of it's incredibly small amount of players because of all the broken promises the devs made like Eve, i am not interested!

No, you're not alone. That's exactly how I felt about it.

I for one refuse to play WoD until they add the other 5 factions that made the roleplaying game fun. Hunters, Werewolves, Mages, Fae, Wraiths. It's the principle of the matter. Sure vampires are fun but cmon, that's not the only thing that made their book/dice game great!

@entityx

You are both missing the point entirely.

There had been some misinterpretation of information previously released by CCP. This article was meant to correct people's misperceptions.

It was thought that, because of the layoffs and renewed focus on EVE, work on WoD had been diminished or even stopped, but if people had actually read the original article in its entirety, they would have seen that development, in fact, continued unabated, and there would be no need for this rehash of the facts. Most of the jobs that were lost were not even in the realm of core programming or graphic design.

If there is any developer left i can trust in loving what they are doing then it´s CCP.

You can´t tell me that SWOTOR is what the devs of bioware would have done if management

would have allowed them to realize their visions.

CCP are making games because they have a vision of their perfect game and they earn money with it.

Most other studios just make games to earn more money, Valve, CCP and Paradox. You are the best.

(Especially EA will never ever release a game just because they wanted to do it regardless of how many money it will deliver)

Well, you have to start somewhere and Vampire have always been white wolfs best seller.

IF they would have released the game with 5 factions from start they either would have to dumb down them a lot and to make the content for each faction very thin.

It is better to start with 1 or 2 and to add the rest later, I still hope they get in hunters from launch though. Personally have mages always been my favorites but if I were CCP I would still first do vampires followed by mages and then werewolfs.

Wraith never was that popular, I am not sure they ever will add that, even Changling is not really a must.

Vampires, werewolf and mages together with hunters would be more than enough for a really great MMO.

Talk is cheap, anyone can talk. CCP dominating 2012? ummm nope sorry.

@ ji6r331

Leodious put it best:

"Just let me see some in-game footage. Even if it is rough. I want to see it! Come on, CCP. Come on!"

Until then, as Shivam succinctly pointed out:

"Talk is cheap..."

This can be interesting, maybe at least CCP will have enough courage to create something original AND high quality. I just hope they won't forget about fun aspect as they did with EVE ;)

@Loke666: in a recent press release they have stated that they will, in fact, be including hunters and other playable humans at launch

@entityx: good things come to those who wait. personally, i hope CCP takes its sweet time and makes a great game.
