Hey, I was right about the FPS remake the whole time wasn't I?

Mind you I expect something more along a tech demo than a full fledged game. More to show off the engine than anything.

I don't necessarly agree with that. It really depends on how much time the development team put into this project. What I mean is: considering there's a development team working on " a new Eve FPS" since at least October 2013, considering that they'll likely re-use at least the concepts for much of the environment/assets and given that they already had at least "a general idea" of what the game should look like gameplay-wise back in 2014 it is very possible that this New Eden FPS is at least in an Alpha/ late pre Alpha stage. The code itself is not the problem, at all: they are using a well enstablished game engine for what concerns FPS and all they have to do is tweak something here and there and write the game mechanics code, which, yes, requires some time and hard work, but for sure it doesn't require two-three years. It's the process as a whole that really takes the huge amount of time we're used to:

if you knew anything about Final Fantasy 15 mechanics and knew anything of how the whole game should work, would it really take ten years to build the game? Of course not. Anyone who have used a game engine before and know how to code properly can achieve the same results (code-wise) in a fraction of the time (which, yes, would still be a lot of time, I'm not saying it would take one day)

Actually the FPS game was explicitly mentioned in a previous post about fanfest on the EVE site. News about the upcoming FPS game will be included in the 2 hour opening presentation on the 21st. They're frontloading all reveals at the start of fanfest, so fear not, you can expect to hear something about the work being done on the game .

That I would believe that to be true causes me to have to bet against you. Why?


Incarna:

Was supposed to be walking in stations. Ended up crashing the processor while standing in quarters.


DUST 514:

Could have been the premier game on the Playstaion 4. The game that kicked off sales. A sort of "HALO killer" style situation if you will. Nope, that went to Destiny while DUST got unceremoniously dumped out of beta in May which wnded up still being a beta.


WoD:

Lol


With all three of these moments I put faith in CCP's ability to deliver. They could not.

It is said that "You cannot build a temple on shifting sands." In Nova's case "You cannot build an EVE connection on terribad core FPS gameplay."

They might as well just add drone killstreaks and call it Black Ops 514
