Dust 514 (PS3)

I could have sworn there was a thread on this from when it was first announced, but we got to see a lot more at E3. The net is that it interacts with the Eve Online universe but is the "ground edition" essentially. The trailer reminds me of a grittier/bloodier Halo.

CCP is one of the most interesting developers in the business. Incredibly ambitious, good sense of humor, etc. Problem is, I love everything about EVE except for actually playing it, and it looks like DUST is going to continue the trend.

Dream game: TIE Fighter style space sim in the EVE universe. Those EVE screenshots are so goddamned stylish.

The subtitle to this should be 'Dying is Expensive.'

Whole lot of this. I wish they implemented Freespace combat into EVE, would make it so incredible.

This looks good, but what is it exactly? Planetside style multiplayer base assaults? Are players hired by player-run EVE corporations, can you play both to transfer funds and resources, or is this totally separate and just connected by lore?

I think I read the latter quite a while back, Mech. It's connected by more than lore.

You mean the former.

Yes, I do. Getting old sucks.

And just like that, lasers rain from the sky, destroying that pesky tank that simply refused to stop firing missiles in your direction. That also happens in real-time via cross-platform chat.

Wild shit.

This, like EVE, sounds like an utterly fascinating game that I have no desire to play.

I'm really hyped for this. Beta should be sometime in the Winter.

Mouse and keyboard support!
