I could see this having a small chance of success if it was a PC release tbh. at least among normal eve players. as it is now I will eat my hat if they make money out of it

They won't make money out of the eve base with it, where they will make their money is the ps3 fps market, which while not as large as the 360s is still fairly substantial. Just means most of the player base won't know or give two shits about eve or how what they're doing affects it

Which playerbase? The Eve playerbase, or the fps playerbase?
That's right, both.

Neither product can be reliant on the other, so the link between the two has to be so inconsequential and contrived as to be irrelevant to either game. Ya know... a bit like FW?

This game will redefine what a one-day fly is.

Sorry I just cant see this FPS thingy in a 8 year old MMO thingy work

It will be like "HELL YEAH DUST 514" on release day and 3 days later "HELL YEAH BATTLEFIELD 4"

There have been so many shooters this year, that were better known due to promo vids before release and then fell in the bin on release day.

idk... they are trying to sell the synergy between two games pretty hard.

imagine you are a dust 514 player and fought really hard for this piece of land, the you wake up the next day to find out the whole planet has been taken over by some other dudes because some retard in eve pressed the wrong button :intigo:

also

but if they "dont have to care about the connection to eve" how the hell are they going to compete with other good FPSses? that market is about as cutthroat as they get

i want good things to happen to eve and to ccp so they can make more eve
whether they can make this work remains to be seen

i haven't had a console since the snes era and have no clue what the userbase is like (i've heard of the stereotypes obviously), but maybe the persistent universe and shit can be appealing? even to console shooter children? i know some dust corps are already forming from the playerbases of other games, it can only be a good thing.
