Seriously? Did I miss something? The game was only first talked about in February. They have a demo at Fan Fest, it's not anywhere near the final product. It's simply a showcase of how the game looks and performs. All the mechanics and such you guys want can still come, it just doesn't fit into an early demo very well

Indeed, well said.

1) Rattati Confirmation
2) Given the amount of reused assets it's taken them 2 months to make 1 map (also using old assets)

Basically the theme of everything that was said in the after interview was "less"

Now that I think about it Rattati was awful nervous seeming in the interview and even outright said he was scared at one point.

That part is less concerns as my understanding is they are going from UE3 to UE4 ... that is difficult and takes a while to do, at least that is my limited knowledge of how game programming/coding works. It was no simple feat to have this in the updated engine (which is where it needs to be).

Keep up the salt. Ive almost made a rock out of it. Especially you alena.

People are worried it will just be flat out lobby shooter with no customization aspects. The term "scaled down MMO" is kind of worrying if you were still playing DUST for the 'promise' of big scale battles, holding alliances, or even just obtaining some kind of material that capsuleers would want in return for weapons, equipment, vehicles, or cash money.

DUST wasn't and isn't a good game but the ideas and concepts there were amazing. Even just building your own suit added a fair amount of complexity. Vehicles that you owned rather than found on the map. That wasn't your team's tank, that was MY tank or YOUR tank.

Sure, they only mentioned it February but the intention of "DUST's spiritual successor" has at least been kicked around since, well, Rouge Wedding. Sure, Nova is NotLegion but if it isn't Legion and Legion was supposed to be DUST 2.0 on PC, does that mean that Nova is NOT DUST 2.0 and just a totally different concept?

People are afraid the game will move away from that and it is possible that might happen. I personally think it is a bit too early to tell. I think anyone saying the game is a 6v6 game in tight corridors is assuming a bit too much based on the demo. Will the actual game be totally different than the demo? Probably but when the ideas of DUST were not immediately put out in front, it is reasonable that people could be worried.

Me? Call me nervous but not exactly building myself a bomb shelter and loading it up with pornography and poptarts.

So why'd they give up on legion? They could have been working on this since rogue Wedding but chose not to so I'm assuming I missed something? They obviously new dust was gonna be shutdown since 2014

DUST wasn't and isn't a good game but the ideas and concepts there were amazing.

We all want ... we also WANT ...

We all want lots of things. But for a shooter, we need solid fundamental mechanics. My understanding is that Rattati & Team have delivered exactly that. What better place to start than with solid fundamentals?

Which is absolutely true. But, you know, when you hear "moving away from MMO aspects" they're not talking about the "demo", they're talking about the whole project. That's why there are people (me included) that think this new game is going to be an FPS Arena, which is not a bad thing if you like the genre, but if you played Dust and if you played Eve you probably want something different than that.

We've no reason to believe that CCP is trying to develop Space CoD. Why would they do that?

My takeaway from Rattati's interview was that the team's current and primary focus is on solid gameplay. So what if they aren't focusing on MMO elements at this stage? These can be added ... later.

I say we get off their back and let them do it right this time.
Mechanics first. MMO later.

They've had FAR more than enough time to make something worthwile to show, instead we get a pretty, gutted dumbed down version of the game to look at.

Stop drinking the coolaid.
