Dust 514 [PS3/PSVita] (EVE Online FPS/MMO) - Update #2: Art, Info, E3 Trailer, F2P
- Thread starter â Narayan
- Start date
Wow, so Microsoft totally and intentionally dropped the ball on all MMO's on Xbox 360. Amazing how they force every developer out of their platform, after realizing that they are better off with customers buying new software every x months.
(And the funny thing is that this statement is even "true" if Dust still manages to come to 360.).

Like we haven't seen unsuccessful products put a huge hurt on a company this generation. You think FFXIV hasn't hurt SE after they had tons of cash from FFXI? PS3 after the huge success of the PS2? Even Blizzard would feel the hurt if their next MMO struggled. EA would be hurt like a mofo if TOR struggled as well.

Looks great. If being a PS£exclusive will give it more time to be polished then it's all good. Wouldn't mind seeing it on PC though.
Yeah lets play another ten COD clones ...ram said:
This game is so awesome conceptually and is being made by really smart and hardcore oriented company without any publishers above their heads and limited budget.
How is this generic looking game? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYkuZLxAWBo
Ps. And news about ccp being at sony press conference is quite exciting and surprising.
Completely different situations and CCP is constantly growing. They've got more than 500k subscriptions, so 7,5 millions dollar revenue per month.Kintaro said:

Well, DC online, MAG, canceled projects like that spy game from Sony, and the Marvel game by MS.
From the top of my head, and canceled projects must be a dime a dozen. Consoles aren't there yet imo.
MS did good in not pursuing MMO gold this gen, because there isn't any.

Free Realms is also out.
Everquest 3 looks like it'll be on PS3 too. Probably a ways off.

No PC version...
This will be DOA on PS3 only I guess.

Yeah MMOs on consoles have made a lot of money.

Kintaro said:
Yeah, this is what I am saying also. A lot of project seemed badly handled because MS's patching rules. There was even a thread about this (still amongst my subscriptions, huh
)http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=372578

It isn't confirmed as to whether there will be a PC version or not. However, I think it's very likely that there will be a PC version. CCP aren't idiots.
In that case, they are then

MAG is not MMO. I would argue that DC Online has not "failed" (an MMO doesn't "fail" until it´s closed or cancelled, their life cycle is different than a normal game and get constant revenue.)
Failing at getting some of the games with bigger potential revenue is hardly something to cheer from a business viewpoint.
Acosta said:
MAG isn't an MMO?
It's pretty close though, you just don't pay to play. Anyway, the point is that it's too early, the market isn't there, the infrastructure isn't there.
It's not as simple as just doing it like they do on the PC. It was imo, smart of MS to not play the MMO card.

No way this doesn't also get a PC version also, but I don't get why it would be facepalm worthy for it to be PS3 only. This won't be marketed exclusively to EVE fans, it will also include marketing to fans of shooting dudes in the face in space, a surprisingly large demographic or so I've heard. It's an experiment in connecting two very different player types via one game universe- I reckon the EVE interaction will probably be just a bullet point on the back of the box, the up-front feature CCP will try pushing will be the part where you shoot dudes.
EDIT: I'm assuming this doesn't have a subscription. Also, I suppose when you look at MAG and SOCOM and other MP-focused shooters on PS3, er, you may have a point. :lol

"MAG isn't an MMO?"
No, it isn't.
No, it isn't.

I wouldn't consider 256 players to be "massive" either, although, that's what the M stands for.

I think it's understandable that you can't just flip a switch and Live suddenly is the best thing ever for MMOS.
MS has their philosophy, and Live has been a huge success. With time they will need to accommodate, because MMOS will eventually become huge on consoles too.
I don't think it's short sighted right now, and hell, you always have the PS3. A successful MMO doesn't need multiple platforms. I don't believe we can fault MS for the unsuccessful efforts of MMOs on consoles.

DCUO didn't fail, but it definitely isn't as big as it could've been. I'd say a lot of that came down to SOE's mind boggling decision to not make the servers cross platform.

Agreed, I really like that one. Kind of like the bridge in Dead Space.

I'm really liking the artwork for the game.

Couldn't look more by-the-numbers if it tried. I'm interested in games like Journey: this looks to be on the other end of the spectrum.

PS3 exclusive? Even as a PS3 owner, I find that DUMB.
You start a new series, you want to release it on ALL platforms. Instead they'll have to play catchup with 360 owners later on when the game doesn't sell as much as they hoped for.
Exclusivity deals are really not smart.
