DUST Search - Gunjack 2, and what it means for Project Nova (video)

So mostly baseless assumptions favoring sensationalist speculation presented as fact, as expected.

As someone who has actually played Gunjack extensively, its very apparently that it did NOT take a lot of resources to put together that game. It is will put together but ultimately not very expansive or complicated...clearly something that a small team (<10) could put together if they're decently versed in Unreal 4.

That being said, if you actually look into the size and finances of CCP Shanghai as well as the testimonials of individuals both inside and outside of CCP, the capacity of Shanghai far exceeds the production requirements needed to produce and support Gunjack and Gunjack 2.

That being said, your statement that most of CCP Shanghai's resources were being spent on producing Gunjack and not Nova is not only baseless, but blatantly incorrect. The additional capacity of Shanghai beyond Gunjack is not simply sitting on their thumbs, and given that the only other announced project they have is Nova, it stands to reason that most of the remaining resources are being spent on said project.

Additionally the return of CCP LogicLoop who has been actively working, sharing, and talking about his work on Nova is indicative that CCP has placed additional resources into the game beyond the tech demo we saw at Fanfest 2016 which would only happen if the game had been green-lit for ongoing production. Additionally multiple members of the CPM and CCP have openly confirmed via various mediums that the game is in active development.

There was never a guarantee that there would be an announcement if the game was given the go-ahead, but literally anyone actually paying attention enough to see the writing on the wall knows that the game is in active and extensive production.

That being said, your random estimate that we wont see anything before end of next year is again, baseless. There is zero evidence to support that timeline nor does it make logical sense. As shown at Fanfest 2016, CCP is doubling down on the principle of showing off new material at FanFest and given how PR campaigns tends to work, its highly likely that they will be showing off additional information at the convention. That is be far the most logical time for them to show off new footage as it is a gathering of their primary target audience, especially after a full 1 year of production time.

Pokey, I do so hope you're correct. You have a lot more "inside" knowledge of this, I guess, so you are in a better position to make judgments based on what you can piece together. Size of workforce balanced against requirements for other games for instance, has some bearing on the amount of work being put into Nova, and that's a reasonable way of thinking assuming that there's nothing else they're working on.

To pull off some of the visuals takes a lot of know how and trickery. It's actually a pretty amazing looking game imo for a VR game. The hardware is limiting in general and you need to make smaller graphics and slimmer shaders look good. It's a very interesting balancing act. Still doing my Nova maps. ;) nice man give us lots of cover but i still want good distances to shoot people from lol i like those big field in dust but it would of been really nice to have lots of places with cover fire along the way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0O3Xl6a4wc Fun fact. EVE ships are big. Really big. the possibility for large spaces is very reasonable. EDIT: Another good one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8Ke1P3m4nU Even the frigates are big enough for a decent battle. The shuttles might be a bit of a tight squeeze, though.. :)
