I rarely say anything on the forums, but alas, I must open my fat mouth.
While it's nice that CCP deleted dust514 from existence without any sort of replacement, which means they were losing money hanging on to dust, also means that the sacrifice of at most 2,000 genuine fans was worth it.
Creating a new fps under the same flag as the people who said, " we have a ten year plan." Well they couldn't keep that promise, so anything else is at best: questionable.
If they bring Nova to console, it will have to be Xbox, or the new Nintendo system. PlayStation would probably not want to have a game abandon their players.
As far as graphics, they're stunning. Gameplay, and content is at best questionable. Since its a repackaged form of dust, he is right in assuming it it's going to be like dust. If you want to butter up a fan base, you only need to render 514 in a better quality engine. They already have all guns and suits, basically it would be the same as Dodge taking all of its 1970's charger engine parts and putting them in a 2017 body and calling it a new car. Nova in Spanish means 'No-Go'. Ask Chevrolet how nova sales did south of the border. You can't put a new name on an old piece of crap. It's still sh*t no matter what you call it.
The best concept 514 has going for it is the whole immortal, 'Live, Die, Repeat, Tom Cruise thing. The concept is awesome. But just the fact that they used a polished dust match complete with an RCU, and acquisition terminal means to me that they haven't really put any serious thought into the actual game itself. If you people can't see that you're being trolled, in the same way squaresoft trolled final fantasy fans for decades, saddens me. This is equivalent off final fantasy vii, advent children. Will they release an outstanding fps, I think so. Will they do it soon? That's a big no. Not if Dust taught them anything. I played dust right at the end of open beta, from which dust never really left beta status.
I have to assume that since ccp can even create dust means they are way smarter than me. I get that. I accept it. That being said I don't see them sticking their hand on a hot burner a second time.
I once asked, I think it was ccp rattatti or logibro, which came first : the special effects and updates, the pretty sparkles; or the lag. Whichever it was responded that that was a good question. But to answer questions like that takes money, and processing power, and since my cell phone has more processing power than ps3, it's easy to see why it was scrapped. Jurassic park had 2,000,000 lines of code, even they pulled the plug. With ps3 shut down coming soon, I can't be mad about that. I can be mad about being trolled.
I don't think for a second that I'm alone when I say I have great ideas on how to make Nova great. We all do. Do I think repackaging 514 is the answer, no I don't. Can it be argued that gran turismo was the greatest driving simulator in the late 90s and early 00s. It was the best. But there's only a few who have watched the documentary Kaz who know that he was developing the codes and physics used in his game all the way back on the original Nintendo.
I feel like ccp is capable of competing with any fps out there. And they will come up with concepts that will amaze us. Infinite warfare is a good example of that. But you have to go all the way back to mw3 to know that they tinkered with weightlessness. And I can bet that when all is said and done, no one will recognize nova as 514.
Personal treat: My ' I have a dream' vision.
I can see Mercs being dropped out of a ship with mag boots onto the hull of a titan cruiser with the mission of capturing 2 of 3 points to disable the vessel. The defending team coming from out of the hull to get rid of the pesky invaders. Debris and hull damage constantly changing the look of the battlefield. Hull breaches blasting entire squads into space.
The sudden battle to sabotage a caldari jump gate by gallente rebels to hamper caldari and amarr trading.
Pirate squads ambush minmatar arms shipments leaving entire planets fubar'd.
Mercy using thruster packs to fly about the map only to be shot down by a lone caldari sniper and his kaalakiota rifle head-glitching out of some maintenance tube.
I know that there is a conceptual artist like myself who has all of already planned out. Maybe even the first wire mesh of some tropical plant, or maybe my dream of having innocent civilians randomly fleeing through corridors to get away, and killing civilians is like friendly fire, and cost you loyalty points when you kill one. I can dream.
Moral of the story
What they showed at fan fest was their way of trolling us. I think we're all jumping before the trigger on this one. Am I willing to wait for them. Yes.
