I wonder if this is going to be any good, its an amazing idea, having two totally different games affect each other so much.
Actually pretty damn excited about this and I know all of jack shit about EVE.
[quote]Thomas: We don’t have a technical limitation in terms of size of maps – we’re not doing entire planets, but we can have maps as big as 5k by 5k if we want. We won’t go that big to start with. At the moment we’re looking at 32, but we haven’t decided[/quote] 5k x 5k maps holy shit
[QUOTE=frankie penis;30324913]5k x 5k maps holy shit[/QUOTE] It's only really big for a console game. Although for a console game it is huge.
You should see the size of the EVE map.
So this is a meta meta meta meta game?
[QUOTE=frankie penis;30324913]5k x 5k maps holy shit[/QUOTE] While the BF2 engine, 6 years old, already supports 4x4km maps
[QUOTE=Morbo!!!;30332096]While the BF2 engine, 6 years old, already supports 4x4km maps[/QUOTE] no no no, you read that wrong. That's [I]5000x5000[/I] km.
[QUOTE=Morbo!!!;30332096]While the BF2 engine, 6 years old, already supports 4x4km maps[/QUOTE] The BF2 engine can get a [I]lot[/I] bigger than that. Play project reality.
So glorious PC gaming master race conquers planets and travels through space while dirty console gaming peasants fill their role as cannon fodder on your galactic quest?
really wish this was for pc, i would so play it.
[QUOTE=Murkrow;30336393]So glorious PC gaming master race conquers planets and travels through space while dirty console gaming peasants fill their role as cannon fodder on your galactic quest?[/QUOTE] Or dirty console gaming peasants fuck up and you end up poor, battered, and defeated while the other guy's dirty console gaming peasants just made him a trillionaire.
Even though I think it should be for the PC aswell, I do understand the basis for leaving it PS3 exclusive.
[QUOTE=mastermaul;30336833]Or dirty console gaming peasants fuck up and you end up poor, battered, and defeated while the other guy's dirty console gaming peasants just made him a trillionaire.[/QUOTE] Or maybe you could show some damn respect.
I gotta get my PS3 fixed by the time this comes out. This looks amazing.
It's titles like these that make me really want a PS3. :frown:
This game better not at all be fast-paced or simple. It better parallel the complexity of eve online to some degree. Obviously not [I]that[/I] complex but I don't think some really simple BC2-like game having such an impact on something as complex as EVE would be a good idea. It'd be cool if gameplay extended a bit beyond combat too, to give more of the MMO feel.
[quote]“Why can’t I play it on my PC?” But you already have EVE on the PC[/quote] That's like saying that we can't play Duke Nukem on PC because we already have Microsoft Word installed.
[QUOTE=gufu;30345692]That's like saying that we can't play Duke Nukem on PC because we already have Microsoft Word installed.[/QUOTE] No its not.
[QUOTE=gufu;30345692]That's like saying that we can't play Duke Nukem on PC because we already have Microsoft Word installed.[/QUOTE] thats... you're dumb.
Many people claim its beings PS3 exclusive because Microsoft "isn't open" to multiplatform gameplay. Ahem, and behold [img]http://www.gamerzclash.com/wp-content/uploads/final_fantasy_xi.jpg[/img] PC, PS2 and Xbox 360 players interacting on one server. I didn't see MS bitching about that. Until I see some evidence that this isn't just a hidden exclusivity deal I'm going to have to say this: Hows that money from Sony feeling CCP?
2006. there's been no other cross platform title since that and Shadowrun besides like uno.
I really, really wish I could get back into EvE, but the learning curve is too steep and the game requires far too much time to get to the fun parts.

You're a fucking nit-wit to think that MS would agree if it was the 360 vs PS3.
I think its due to the free expansion policy of CCP, Microsoft are money whores and I can easily see them trying to make CCP charge for DLC.
[QUOTE=Murkrow;30336393]So glorious PC gaming master race conquers planets and travels through space while dirty console gaming peasants fill their role as cannon fodder on your galactic quest?[/QUOTE] The PS4 will include a containment field that will allow you to actually capture console gamers as prisoners of war from the comfort of your (and their) home
[QUOTE=Swilly;30353633]No its not.[/QUOTE] Also, it is way easier to create third party programs for the PC, you know what I mean - hacks. Imagine how much of an big fucking Impact it would have on EVE if some group had those.

"Oh X isn't coming out on Y. They must be bribed!" Or, maybe Microsoft just did not like the idea or the system that CCP wanted to implement. Whilst Sony was?
looks like I'm buying a PS3
