Unlike the past leadership, he actually has a solid record of delivering his promises. But Hilmar is still the one calling the shots, and he looks even less enthused now than he did before. I'm certain the game will be greenlit at this point, but I'm also pretty certain it will retain its minimal team and funding.
You can help change his mind. Go to Twitter and tweet him that you really want the game. I did and I convinced a few others too. The more popularity we give the game, the more excited he'll be. And honestly I don't blame him much. He was just as sold on dust as the rest of us but the old leadership put a sour taste in his mouth when they failed. Ratatti and frame have done good by us in trying to keep a sinking ship up, but it's now time to move into the next game!
I think he is just coming in reserved for this one. Not expecting much is a sure fire way of not being let down. So let's do our part in proving him wrong! To Twitter my friend!

I just flat out refuse.

Then call him out for being a one-trick-pony incapable of leading a 3d-shooter mmo tied into the vast EVE universe. Then undercutting his own effort effectively ensuring his failure.
2 strikes in the final inning. Bases are loaded. How he walks off the field is his choice, but fan support helps make difference. Throw tomatoes or cheers, it's all part of a psych game.
Then again, I'm just an anonymous poster on the intertubez. YMMV

Pretty much agree with ya OP.
That is a new video i have not seen and it feels like it has sucked the life force out of me, 4 people with faces like slapped arses talking about the most boring thing in the world which happens to be CCP new project.
Hilmar is not excited about it, them 4 are not excited about yet the playerbase is over the moon with it yet knowing how CCP lacks basic communication and has pulled the rug from under the playerbase more times than you can count while hosting its own rouge wedding live on twitch.
I like CCP, i liked EVE and still think about getting back into it but it is a vastly more polished game made over many years, will Nova ever reach that promised land? we knew DUST would not from the beginning yet backed it, i did and looking back it was a ****** investment but i had fun but burned from the experience.
Now we have a look at Nova, not greenlit, CCP does not seem excited by it, 'tech demo' excuse in full swing along with a vast line of quotes promising much but saying very little and what we do know does not sound that promising to me at least, it seems to be alot of boundless optimism that it will be included in the game or added later on.
In the end proof is in the pudding but i am not excited for the game like i was with DUST, DUST was all hype and BS but it did deliver in various areas and made a game that for me did fit in the EVE universe, if DUST started on the PC i would have been in a far better place but hindsight is great.

Let's stick to properly paced development and caution, something CCP has proven they do better than hotheaded ambition.

i could say that you're uninteresting but that would be mean op.
Tech demo.meaning barebones. Waiting to be fleshed out. And stop taking words to heart. English is the most confusing language out there with all these darn double meanings and words that hint to other words. Let the actual alpha come out and see how the reviews are before you cry "uninteresting" there people go again reading too far into a demo.

Arguing pessimism is not jumping for joy. Also, the thing is? You got nothing to review. Cuz ya know, it was a demo. That's not an excuse so much as it's just reality. I think at least we can agree that being just a demo is frustrating; however, judging a demonstration of concept as final is silly. Cuz (again), it's still only a demo that hasn't been greenlit.
Not sure what else to say to that.

Technically it is just a tech demo. That's not an excuse. It's a damn fact. But unlike Project Legion's tech demo, Project Nova's tech demo was actually playable by the attendees at this year's Fanfest. Project Legion didn't get anything more than just a Keynote presentation with nothing more than a Dev walking around a bridge and a burning tree. Meanwhile, Project Nova was played by God knows how many players in a 6v6 match on board a ship showcasing all of the classes and most of the weapons we already saw before but with the addition of ACTUAL gameplay stability plus new assets (wish I was there to try out that new Precision Sniper Rifle), an clean user interface, almost no stuttering and the lag seemed nonexistent even though it was played over the internet with the server located in Frankfurt, Germany via the Steam client.
That is far more than anyone could ever say about Project Legion. Again, all we saw was a keynote presentation and a Legion forum section that went permanently silent after just a few months. No one at Fanfest 2014 got a chance to try it out. No Youtube videos from anyone who recorded it with a smartphone and almost no support from the CSM if I remember correctly due to the way how the Dust 514 keynote was handled so long ago.
And no, we never forgot about the mess we went through with Dust and CCP. But I'm willing to bet that's probably why the current dev team is giving it their all this time around to make Project Nova. This is CCP's last chance at making a great FPS for New Eden that they promised so many years ago. If Project Nova fails like Legion did and how Dust did, that's it for the New Eden FPS concept. No more mercs running around inside ships and stations like how the trailers put it and CCP will have yet enough bad mark on its record of failed projects (Dust, Legion, Eve Online: Incarna Expansion, and World of Darkness) while CCP abandons the concept altogether and focuses on just Valkyrie, Gunjack, and Eve Online.
It's make or break at this point.
That might be why many of us are giving CCP our full support for Project Nova. We know what will likely happen if Nova fails. Sure Hilmar might not be so enthusiastic about Nova but I think that has more to do with seeing what happened to Dust. He's probably just as pessimistic as you are right now about the new game and he's probably waiting to see what Rattati and his team can come up with before it becomes time again to review the progress of the new game and decide whether to scrap it while it's still young or green light it to fund it further. Rattati's reputation is probably on the line as well. I don't envy his position at all to be honest.

I was never interested in Dust as a shooter. To me it was as it was supposed to be, an extension of EvE, to be played out on the decks of stations and the plains and streets of the worlds of EvE. Yes, it involved shooting presumably but it was never just about that to me. So to me, Dust was very interesting.
But to be very blatantly honest, I don't see Dust that way now I know what it really is, not what it could be but what it's actually evolved into.
And Nova is just more of the same to me. I would really like to say that I think it would be more. It seems to be an excellent shooter, but of course it's just a demo for the moment. As an excellent shooter, I'm not that interested. There are plenty out there. Nova has to do something different. We may see that, but for the moment, I'll just have to reserve my opinion.
For the moment, Nova is a great shooter, and hopefully it will scale to work on a worldwide network. We'll see.
Edit:
What CCP should have done is port Dust to PS4 or PC. |

When we sit back and say things like "omg it's going to be a generic lobby cqc shooter" and then follow that up with "I know they plan to add all this extra stuff after they nail down the core shooter aspects" it just sounds like complaining for the sake of complaining. Your feelings are hurt that they didn't just port dust to pc which would have apparently been the only way to satisfy everyone! Except even then people would have still found reason to complain.....
Anyway. My point is this. We aren't going to even have a generic fps version of dust, let alone all the extra stuff they said would come after that IF the project doesn't get green lit. And what would make it so the project doesn't get green lit?? People bitching and moaning about the game before it's even out of the conceptual development stage.
So let's try to get the game green lit. And then in closed beta. And then start complaining about what it lacks. Rather then just complain complain and complain and then complain some more when for some reason they can the project again...... My mindset right now is "no they are never going to add what i wanted in dust into nova" that is why i made this thread,if i had the thought in my head that they were going to add the things in the future then i wouldnt have made this thread plain and simple. bitching and moaning like it or not is a form of feedback , cpp could have shut down dust and went through this tech demo, static fps, greenlight, testing, and other phases years ago when many people including myself kept telling ccp that what they wanted to do with dust just was not going to work out on the ps3 and that they should move it to the pc. but what did they do? they decided not too listen and instead continue to try to do the impossible which was foolish then they went the path of milking money from its playerbase that was left. Bleh better late than never i gues.......... My mindset right now, is that like they didn't do the things that they said they would in Dust, they likewise won't do them in Nova. There's not even the first inkling that they will.
I'm talking walking in stations, open combat between as many combatants on as many different sides as we like, being able to open that damned door to the station from my Captains Quarters, and with my EvE main, Nalianna, take up a rifle and join in the fight.
There are so many things that were supposed to happen with Dust and didn't. I won't be happy until Nova does them. And I'm pretty close to certain it never will. |

One of the interviews pretty much said that this game is eventually going to be exactly what we wanted dust to be and it was the executive producer who said it. Of course he didn't say it that way specifically, he just detailed all the things we wanted dust to be and how they were eventually going to be acheived through nova. Your disappointed now? I can't imagine how hurt your feelings will be when they can the project and your sitting there wondering why..... So what exactly did "we" want it to be? I think if you ask different people you'll get different ideas and opinions. I certainy don't expect Nova to be ANYTHING like what I wanted or expected Dust to be... |

CCP and RSI are fundamently different companies with fundamentally different ideas on the value of transparency and player communication. RSI started as a crowd funded company so it's no surprise they went all-in, especially given the ease of doing so today. You could say that CCP is more traditional in its philosophy, though I would argue that they simply not very good at communication as a company. Game development and communication are two different skill sets and as good as CCP is at developing its main game EO, it is appallingly bad at communication. The entirety of DUST's life has demonstrated that fact. The Rouge wedding was just the most glaringly obvious example. It is impossible to miss if you follow both. |

If you want that door to open so you can go walking out into the station or have a FPS battle on your bridge you are playing the wrong game because it is never going to happen. It's not because CCP lacks the will, it's because of the code and architecture restrictions. EO is a single threaded Mainframe application that runs the entire EO universe. If too much occurs at once it slows down and you get TD. That won't work for an FPS. You won't ever get mixed fleet operations and FPS in one experience. That's why Valkarie will never be linked to EO in realtime. CCP would have to completely rewrite the EO code under a new architecture and that's not going to happen.
Valkarie and Nova may get linked economically because it isn't done in realtime, but that is the most you can expect.
RSI is building exactly that game in Star Citizen. It is using a distributed architecture for all the code, capital ships, single seat fighters, and FPS. They can do this because they are starting from scratch with that plan. It's not something you can retrofit to the EVE Universe. |

To me, I don't pay attention to the ramblings of just one member of CCP. Not even two or three or a hundred. To paraphrase what CCP Games said when they poorly managed the Eve Online: Incarna Expansion "look at what they do, not at what they say". I'm doing just that with CCP. And so far they actually showed more than what they said. And it's not CCP I was paying attention to. I paid attention to the Fanfest Attendees who played the Nova tech demo and they are the ones giving it positive reviews. It's one thing for a company to claim they can make a great game but it's another to actually make one and see how the court of public opinion reacts to it.
Honestly, I prefer that they speak less and do more since actions speak louder than words. Of course, they shouldn't go totally quiet like they did with Legion, but at the same time they shouldn't be so distracted with talking to us that they forget they have a project to do.

For the record, I don't think that the developers of Star Citizen have any intention to directly compete with the likes of Eve Online. They just want to be their own different game.

To be fair, Eve Online is strictly an MMORPG and CCP has over a decade experience in that regard. Dust was just their first attempt at making an FPS and they had no prior experience with that genre.

It does look fun and I want to try it, but it's not going to take me away from Eve Online.

It's a pretty solid MMORPG but it's one of those games that tailored to a very niche crowd unlike WoW or LoL.

When we sit back and say things like "omg it's going to be a generic lobby cqc shooter" and then follow that up with "I know they plan to add all this extra stuff after they nail down the core shooter aspects" it just sounds like complaining for the sake of complaining. Your feelings are hurt that they didn't just port dust to pc which would have apparently been the only way to satisfy everyone! Except even then people would have still found reason to complain.....
Anyway. My point is this. We aren't going to even have a generic fps version of dust, let alone all the extra stuff they said would come after that IF the project doesn't get green lit. And what would make it so the project doesn't get green lit?? People bitching and moaning about the game before it's even out of the conceptual development stage.
So let's try to get the game green lit. And then in closed beta. And then start complaining about what it lacks. Rather then just complain complain and complain and then complain some more when for some reason they can the project again...... My mindset right now is "no they are never going to add what i wanted in dust into nova" that is why i made this thread,if i had the thought in my head that they were going to add the things in the future then i wouldnt have made this thread plain and simple. bitching and moaning like it or not is a form of feedback , cpp could have shut down dust and went through this tech demo, static fps, greenlight, testing, and other phases years ago when many people including myself kept telling ccp that what they wanted to do with dust just was not going to work out on the ps3 and that they should move it to the pc. but what did they do? they decided not too listen and instead continue to try to do the impossible which was foolish then they went the path of milking money from its playerbase that was left. Bleh better late than never i gues.......... My mindset right now, is that like they didn't do the things that they said they would in Dust, they likewise won't do them in Nova. There's not even the first inkling that they will. I'm talking walking in stations, open combat between as many combatants on as many different sides as we like, being able to open that damned door to the station from my Captains Quarters, and with my EvE main, Nalianna, take up a rifle and join in the fight. There are so many things that were supposed to happen with Dust and didn't. I won't be happy until Nova does them. And I'm pretty close to certain it never will. If you want that door to open so you can go walking out into the station or have a FPS battle on your bridge you are playing the wrong game because it is never going to happen. It's not because CCP lacks the will, it's because of the code and architecture restrictions. EO is a single threaded Mainframe application that runs the entire EO universe. If too much occurs at once it slows down and you get TD. That won't work for an FPS. You won't ever get mixed fleet operations and FPS in one experience. That's why Valkarie will never be linked to EO in realtime. CCP would have to completely rewrite the EO code under a new architecture and that's not going to happen. Valkarie and Nova may get linked economically because it isn't done in realtime, but that is the most you can expect. RSI is building exactly that game in Star Citizen. It is using a distributed architecture for all the code, capital ships, single seat fighters, and FPS. They can do this because they are starting from scratch with that plan. It's not something you can retrofit to the EVE Universe. It's not about whether I want that door to open or not. It's about the fact this was what we were promised in the early days of Walking in Stations and Dust, and I still want that. I believed then and I believe now that it would vastly enrich the EvE Online experience, which is how it was presented to the EvE Online community. Unfortunately, they handled it wrong (sound familiar?) and offsided the EvE people, who came to understand and/or believe that any development in this regard would detract from fixing the many things they perceived were still wrong with EvE Online. In a way it came down to one major issue - EvE Online players generally don't actually want any change. They would prefer to see all the bugs fixed first before any more changes are made, because changes just bring more bugs. Whether or not they might have found some use for WiS is moot - they threw the baby out with the bathwater. |

No, RSI isn't trying to compete directly with CCP. The player's experience in each universe is completely different for one. In EO you play an immortal pilot and you have direct control over the economy. In SC you are a normal mortal who can eventually die and you don't have control over the overall economy because players comprise at most 10% of the population. AI takes jobs you don't and will keep the economy running.
SC won't compete with Nova either. Though SC has FPS play it isn't focused on battles and continued "deaths" will lead to artificial body parts and eventual perma-death.
I see SC more as an "Everyman" experience where you chose the activity you want and the fun comes from the first person immersion in a fantastic universe. I haven't played EO, but I see that like DUST to be a more competitive environment where you measure your progress against others.
There is certainly room for both games. I enjoyed DUST and played it heavily until I realized that it wasn't ever going to become the game we were promised. I will play Nova if/when it is available with the hope that it will fulfill the original promise. I will also join Valkarie in July when my OR CV1 arrives. I'm a SC backer and I am very excited about its future. I'm hoping that friendly competition makes both games better. |

My take is that CCP dreams big, and often those dreams are not based on the reality of what they can actually deliver. Looking back on the promises made for DUST we can laugh at the ability of the PS3 to get anywhere near them. Massive player count, huge maps, full racial assets and procedurally generated planets Yet they thought it would all be possible.
Walking in station would introduce a sort of FPS into a single threaded Mainframe application. I suppose it could work in a limited way if it was only social an therefore weathered TD with grace. Still, it would be a big job to integrate. They probably wanted it and talked it up just like they did procedural generation for DUST.
It's a natural human trait to dream big, I think CCP is better at dreaming than delivering and you just have to keep that in mind when you watch the presentations. |
