Hands Off, My Loots!

There has been quite a few posts in the EVE Blogging Community today about the most recent announcement from CCP.  They released a Press Release on the new game Dust 514, and also a video to go along with it.

Plenty of other people have talked about their likes and dislikes, neither of which I am going to do…for one simple reason.  They did not release enough information for me to bite my teeth into.  Many people are speculating on how much Dust will affect the sovereignty system, or the viability of corporations in a FPS, etc…and I’m just not sure where they are getting all their info.  Granted I know that most of it is just people taking a 10 word sentence and throwing their imagination and opinions at it…but I prefer to make my opinions on facts…so I won’t throw much of my own opinions out there.

I will however say that it looks interesting, and I’m looking forward to trying it out.  Whether it’s only on console or not (since they didn’t say specifically it would not be released on PC) I will still get it since I do own an XBOX 360.  My main interest in it right now is that my brother loves console FPSes…and this may be an avenue for me to play over distance with him.  Him in Dust and me in EVE (maybe, depending on how it works).

I just think it would be cool to do something like that since as far as I know something like what CCP is now trying to do has never been done.  And on a side note, maybe this’ll renew his interest in EVE and I can get him to scan for me while I salvage

I must say however…the graphics are excellent!  Just looking at the below image is making me try to determine whether that Caldari Mothership is on their screen on the bridge…or if it’s orbiting the planet…kinda hard to tell.

Also, found an interview with the CCP CEO too.  I haven’t read it yet, but figured I’d link it anyway.

Well I did it…here is the 2nd post I promised for today! yay!…interestingly enough…neither one of them were the 2 I was actually planning on…as those ones are still drafts being worked on for release later this week.
