Just because they did not scrap it does not mean they'll be releasing or even announcing a release. Will it mentioned? Most likely. Will it be anything notable substantial? I wouldn't get your hopes up.
I agree. I wouldn't expect anything major about Nova even if it does get mentioned. Perhaps a round table discussion or something like that.

That was way before Rattati took over development. Also, with CCP Seagull being the Executive Producer of Eve Online and helping to coordinate the changes that Eve Online so desperately needed for a long time, Eve Online has seen a revival in interest it hasn't seen in a long time.
With the overhauling of industrial ships, introduction of player-built Citadels and Complexes, a ****-ton of other changes including the overhaul of the NPE system and tutorials, implementation of Free-To-Play with Alpha Clones, and now the introduction of Project Discovery, Eve Online has caught the attention of a lot of players.
Especially now with Project Discovery having been around for a while with the Human Protein Atlas, and now the University of Reykjavik and the University of Geneva, with the involvement of Michel Mayor (the one who discovered the first exoplanet) we are now seeing institutions taking interest in the game thanks to citizen science.
Now... if only CCP could apply that level of progress to Nova. I can be skeptical too if I wanted, but I don't want to skeptical to the point of cynicism.

Glass Bowtie wrote:Djinn SouI wrote:I think you are all putting faith in a company that has a history of spitting in your face I have to agree with this. It may be a bit cynical, but it's 100% true. CCP may have done, and may be doing good things for EVE, but Dust, and obviously any FPS shooter tied to CCP has never seen anywhere near the level of Dev attention/care that EVE has. That part is whatever, EVE is their money maker. But the money grab pre-FF14, the money grab post FF14, the way Dust was killed (amazing new announcement regarding Dust at FF!!!Hype hype hype hype!!!!!.......ahhhh, gotcha!! We're killing it), the ridiculous secrecy around anything and everything. Rattati may be a nice guy, and his heart may have been/may be in the right place, but he got the captains hat after the ship had been scuttled. He was the oxygen mask that pops out after both wings fall off of a commercial airliner at 20k feet. Legion came and went, Nova is in limbo, CCP may be trying to sell, and who knows what that will mean. Just stating the facts can make one sound cynical. But who knows, maybe it'll all work out in the long run.
Yeah, it's a little hard (if not impossible) to ignore that. Like I said, I don't want to be cynical. However at the same time I don't want to look like a ostrich with its head buried in the sand.

It has probably been closer to a year and a half since Nova development, and even then, that is not a lot of time in terms of game development. I would say, from what I know, 4 and 5 years is pretty average for a game to be developed. Hopefully they have some blurb on what they have been working on, and next step goals.
But we can't forget that CCP Shanghai now has FPS experience and they know their mistakes this time around. They know what ****** up Dust and the presentation of Legion. They have the assets as well. The difference here is that they have to rebuild the entire base code from scratch. So that alone might seem to make your case a little more likely because developing a brand new base code and ditching the old one (the infamous legacy code that partly sealed the fate of Dust) must have been a very difficult choice for them.
But everyone knew it was for the better. If Dust had any hope to emerge as Nova on the PC, it needed a new code and a new engine on a platform that CCP has over a decade working on.

And a bit more on my previous post, let's consider the feedback regarding the demo. If I had to sum it up, it would be something like:
"It felt good to play, but pretty generic. We'd like to see what more it can offer and what makes it distinctively a 'CCP New Eden' game"
Back then, when Nova was first announced and demoed, everyone here in the forums was practically ok with generic simply because we were all surprised that it had minimal lag, was operating on a Steam Client with Unreal Engine 4 while connected to a server in Germany as Dennie Fleetfoot pointed out. All of this while running very smoothly for a seemingly hectic fight.
Considering the hell we all went through with Dust 514 from closed beta to open beta all the way to its shutdown, we were far more happy with "generic but stable" rather than "different but messy."
Of course, that was a long time ago.
Now? The next time when we hear about Nova, a lot of us here no longer want to hear "generic but stable" and instead we want to hear "stable AND different." After all this time since the news, I don't want to see a generic shooter anymore.
