" There are much grander plans for Project Nova thoughGÇöplans that donGÇÖt at all come through from this little arena shooter demo. The long-term vision for Nova is to get back to the Dust 514 dream, blending Nova together with EVE Online.
Not in real-time, per se. +ürnason says that only GÇ£one percent of one percentGÇ¥ of EVE Online players ever used the real-time feedback aspects of Dust. But the idea of the Planetary Conquest mode, wherein corporations battled for control of planets, is something +ürnason wants to resurrect in NovaGÇöand more.
GÇ£What IGÇÖd like to do is some sort of economic link,GÇ¥ says +ürnason. In this hypothetical situation, he sees a corporation in EVE Online and in Nova linking up, potentially by way of a structure created in EVE, and then hooking together so each side gets money or other resources. GÇ£That future is all an open map,GÇ¥ says +ürnason. GÇ£We can do whatever we want, after we demonstrate the correct shooting mechanics.GÇ¥
ItGÇÖs bottom-up development, and talking to +ürnason it seems like this is the opposite of DustGÇöa game that seemingly started with a grand plan but could never nail down the details. The downside: The demo here at Fanfest is not nearly as inspired, mainly because none of those big-picture details are in yet.
Which is not to say itGÇÖs bad. ItGÇÖs not! ItGÇÖs a perfectly fine twist on the arena shooter. But itGÇÖs clearly early days for development, and I have a feeling plenty of people will walk away from Nova this week feeling like itGÇÖs lacking a hook, a standout feature, not realizing that those are on the long-term roadmap.

You forgot this from the article:
Point being: If you see Project Nova footage and you think GÇ£Well, that just looks like a generic arena shooter,GÇ¥ youGÇÖre not wrong. The surprise is thatGÇÖs exactly what CCP wants at the momentGÇöbecause if you think it looks like a competent shooter, then itGÇÖs already avoided the biggest of DustGÇÖs problems.
Honestly, this single paragraph saved me from a silly knee-jerk reaction... Because it's all true.
After watching some in-game videos from Kirk and the rest, I can't wait for this game! I want it now! |
