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.
It'll be free so I'll definitely try it out when it comes out. But I'm skeptical about how good it will be. Hopefully it's amazing though.
Too bad most people don't want anything different, judging from the sales. I can't wait for Dust 514 but most shooter fans are just waiting for the chance to play a "new" Call of Duty game.
Dust 514 is definitely starting to pop up on my radar now after reading that.
I love my playstation!
