"As I gaze at the star map, part in disbelief part in awe, I realize that good or bad this is something truly original. Dust 514 is treading new ground and for better or for worse you can’t help but be impressed by its ambition.
There are some who don’t even know of Dust 514’s existence (let alone its impending release) however this is laced with a sense of irony as there are very few who won’t know the game which made it all possible, Eve Online."
Ninth episode, and we talk Planet Nomads kickstarter, slow CPUs, EVE Valkyrie event, and I have finally received my Bragi Dash!
News:
* Bragi is finally shipping The Dash wireless headphones
* EVE:Valkyrie players holding an in-game event February 20th, with live-streams
* Apple has the highest quarterly revenue of any company ever
* Intel says future CPUs will be slower, but more efficient
Farewells to DUST514:
A small goodbye to DUST514, from current and past players and bitter-vets
Special Guest:
This week’s guest is Daniel Maslovsky from the game-studio Craneballs, here to discuss their kickstarter game Planet Nomads! It is an interesting Sci-fi Survival Sandbox games, and several Bammsters are already backers on Kickstarter!
From GameWatcher: "DUST 514 was first announced back in 2009 for the PlayStation 3 as a first person shooter played in conjunction with the massively multiplayer space sim EVE Online, and its final build was launched in 2013. CCP has announced that DUST 514 will be shuttered on May 30th 2016, with a new FPS being developed to replace it."
wow. that's messed up. I don't play the game, but shutting it down and then a month after that showing your replacement game after you told the community screw you. LOL. Remind me to never support or play a CCP game. There are games that came out many years before this one and the devs keep the servers up for people.
I remember them saying it was supposed to contribute to eve and everyone was up in arms and that never happened and it just fell to the way side
DUST514 players create EVE:Phoenix trailers as part of their #PortDUST514 campaign.
Since the announcement of the DUST514 sequel EVE:Legion by CCP Games at FanFest 2014, there has been an almost eerie silence about the project from the game’s creators. Domains and trademarks were registered, and later left expired, for the EVE:Legion brand, and the player base was left watching as no actual news or progress updates were given by CCP, even at the various player-gatherings or CCP’s own FanFest 2015.
The players of DUST514, both past and current, have rallied under a banner, #PortDUST514, led by Ripley Riley, and are using this hashtag on social media to highlight that there is still a desire for a sequel or a port of the game to a more recent platform than the Playstation 3.
Most recently, this has resulted in the players creating propaganda posters and “memes”, and even voiced trailers, for what they themselves have named EVE:Phoenix.
The player Pokey Dravon, with the help of several other players, created this trailer for the campaign.
i personally didnt enjoy the beta. however i shouldnt have a solid opinion of it after all i played an incomplete product
The beta gets better with each update. The game has great potential to be a very solid title. Personally i think it will have a cult following but the thing that may prevent it from being a system seller is that the game is very deep, maybe too deep.
The many & many skills, titles can really scare some players. This is not a shooter for the everyday player to pick up & play. This is a game that deserves your attention to really understand the mechanics. It's an RPG shooter one would say.
I hope it becomes successful cause Sony & CCP are taking big risks with this game.
