Eve: Online developer announces MMOFPS for console

Exciting Stuff. CCP seams to be pushing the MMO envelope again. I feel an Eve update coming though. The one where u get to walk around in the stations, its coming. Looking forward to hearing more about this. Did it say which console platforms?

It's such a good idea! I love how this new console game works together with EVE to make it an exciting player driven game.

From the sound of how Dust 514 and Eve would be linked, its got me interested

CCP really want to create a virtual universe. Imagine Hiring ur Buddy (who plays Eve online) to fly u and ur squad/army over to a different planet. Eve might not be as huge as Wow but its light years ahead if u ask me.

Walking in stations just got a whole lot bigger

Interesting ...

I am curious to see how they do the UI and of course communication on a console. But all in all, kudos to them!

Edit: Oooooh, pretty pictures Oculate! Grrr, Webwasher blocker the link.

There has been lots of talk about about bringing planets / stations into the game. I reckon ppl will go moggy to be able to walk a character around a station or land of a planet but imagine the coding for that! Would be sheer awesomeness though.

I highly doubt it will be as 'sync'd' as we're imagining (looking out the window in Dust and see your ship flying past), but its an interesting direction

I propably is but with CCP having the whole 1 server idea who knows.

Also i dont think they will bring planet in to Eve for a while but i have heard whispers that the stations add on is coming.

I got a question.

I have been taking note of all these MMOFPS's that are coming out and I am curious with the ADSL in this country is it even viable to try and compete with 500++ms lag in a twitch based system?
