Dust 514

CCP Unveiled Dust 514 at a conference.  It is a FPS/RTS MMO hybrid to be released on consoles.  Players in Dust 514 fight on the planets from the EVE universe and system control in both games will coincide in some way.  EVE players fight in space... Dust 514 players fight on the ground... both feed together to dictate control of systems in EVE universe.

Here is a Twitter log from someone there:

ooh ooh ooh - video announcement!

it's in space....

..a first-person shooter??

holy crap... looks brilliant

'DUST 514' is the name - looks very Halo. great feeling of warzone

...it's a hybrid FPS and RTS set within the EVE universe, for consoles. It's CCP's MMO for consoles!

takes place on the planets of EVE Online

backstory to the 'cloned' soldiers coming in an upcoming EVE book

EVE players fight in space... Dust 514 players fight on the ground... both feed together to dictate control of systems in EVE universe. (????????????)

Been in development for three years at CCP's Shanghai studio... woah.

playing the trailer AGAIN... but it's amazing so worth it

40 per cent of all tech exports out of Iceland are EVE Online... trending to 50 per cent. amazing. proof what game devs can do

and that's it... talk over... everyone is buzzing! what an amazing demonstration. very, very excited.less than 20 seconds ago from TwitterFox

4players.de has talked to Petursson after the show, asking why there will be no PC-Version. Petursson smiled and stated, that he cannot comment on it right now. The only thing he can say at the moment is that there will be ca console version.

for those who are complaining about the console only thing... with any luck it will be a timed exclusive :)

console MMO = fail

Yeah I saw this too.  You know there may be something more coming to the PC.  They may be delaying it for more cohesiveness with EVE, or for more tie ins with Ambulation.  Whatever it is they are a wicked company and will give us good entertainment.  All these emo kids on the internet are wearing me out this morning.

Yeah or tied in with Ambulation.  I am sure they have big plans.  One of the few companies I have faith in for making good games and not being controlled by investors or publishers.

Brilliant business move!

Note:
I hope it will connect EVE industry with Dust ^^

HALO is a fail?

Why is it everyione wants to make everything for everyone. This should NOT be added to EVE but left seperate. This is an AMAZING idea that is easily one of the most innovative concepts in MMOs and shows that CCP and not Blizzard is the leader in this industry.

This concept melds two completely different kinds of players into a single universe. It creates an interdepency so that Dust units are not going to be effective with an EVE corp for support. The same BTW will apply in reverse.

While I am sure that some people will play bioth ways I think you will find that each game will have it's own real following with the common ground being the EVE Universe.

This is actually a BETTER announcement than I had hoped for as it does something truly innovative with the MMO concept. Bravo CCP for another move that shows why you guys are the best.

It might be converted to PC and 'implemented' in EVE one day...who knows.

Still I have mixed feeling about it. On one side it would mean impressive world complexity, on the other, FPS just 'does not fit' into EVE.

For those whining about the console part you need to get over it. The industry is shifting that way slowly as several MMOs have been shown on consoles and some future ones are exclusive to them. If they bring in more subs then welcome to the new era. I love what CCP is doing as its different and could be quiet exciting. Ground and space battles to control all.  I do not know how exactly it will affect corps but would be cool to have 2 divisions.

That is exactly why it is still its own separate world with limited interaction. I am sure many EVE players will take up Dust and vice versa. I will give Dust a try and if it is good, probably get back into EVE as well.

Hm...I do think that interaction between EVE and Dust would be truly epic. Imagine indy people of EVE building ammo, weapons and vehicles for ground combat of Dust(cash shop? hehe), Factional warfare affecting battlegrounds of Dust and vice versa, etc.

There is tons of good ways how to connect those two worlds together.

That could be really cool.  You could have manufacturing plants that players interact with in EVE and it directly correlates to the supplies available in the FPS.  There could be weapons researched and created in EVE that are then unlocked in Dust 514.  There really are so many cool possibilities, but who knows what all will go in.  I have always loved EVE for their ability to expand endlessly into stations, planets, etc. and this could be the first step in a long line of things to come for the EVE Universe.

*Gets out Crystal Ball*

Dust 514 will be released for consoles for one reason and one reason only.

So the Dust 514 client will be implemented into the EvE online client for the PC players.

Console and PC gamers will get to play Dust 514 together but the PC players will also have Eve online directly connecting to this New FpS/Rts hybrid MMO (planetary exploration).

Console + PC gamers playing 514 together = more players to fill all those planets.

EvE online and 514 being one giant client on PC means the worlds are connected while still being able to supply Console players with items from Eve online and visa versa.

CCP is smart you don;t release 514 on PC as a stand alone game if your going to incorporate it into the existing Eve online client that would be dumb.

Why make the games compete with eachother on the PC platform?

In 2-3 years this will happen watch.

*Puts crystal ball away*

Sounds pretty awesome if they can pull it off.

Having console and PC gamers on 1 server? o.O

For anybody that plays Eve, ask yourself this... how do they get to the planet?  Think about all the gate camps and all the rest.  So there you are, you have a system locked down, running 23/7 camps on the gates into the system.  Yet somebody playing on a console will take the planet from you.... um, yeah - dumb.

I tell you what, If they include this in Eve online I would re-up both of my subs in an instant. That would be awesome. But if it is only for consoles, I won't be playing either.
