What he means to say is he thinks he's pro. Oh my sarcasm! Ha.
As for Planetside2 whatever. I've seen footage of it, and pictures, and read the articles. It does not look that good to me. Looks more like it wants to be a suedo red versus blue sci-fi war game. SOE is behind it (of course), but having watched the footage I am guessing I know where a number of now ex. Zipper members went too after they closed those doors. Three factions (just like [/u]MAG[/u]) and the whole command structure just feels based of MAG as well. Will it be a good PC game? Sure. The first was very well loved by the fans. The more I watch the footage though I cannot help, but feel it is borrowing heavily from Battlefield and MAG. Not a bad thing of course. Just not sure how this will translate to Planetside2. I'm more interested in Dust though, and more intrigued by Dust. It has a lot more to offer, and a lot more it's aiming for then Planetside2. Which seems to just be that an FPS just with an MMO sub genre attached, and not really much more. I'm sure it will be a great sequel. I'm just looking for something more.
In the end Dust just feels like it trying to be something larger, and more different then everyone and everything else out there at the moment. Especially in the realm of trying to have two different games working simultaneously and interweaving within and around one another.
Bigger risks are involved in Dust in-game and out. Dust is the Jurassic Park of the gaming industry. |

I don't think Dust will be one of the biggest grossing games of all time. Just IMHO. I loved Jurassic park, I'm far from sold on dust.
You miss understand what I meant. I'm not talking about gross profits, but on that subject I bet you'd more then surprised at how much money this game will make in the end.

Welcome to the land of the free, and home of the exploitable. People have been systematically bred and encouraged through various means over the last three quarters of the century to buy on impulse, and continue to buy, buy, buy. They do not need a reason, or a justification. Case in point when you bring the up the subject of social experiments such as Gaia, PlayStation Home, and even various impulse purchasable that tie into Facebook, and other vying social networks. People buy just to buy. Especially in the majority.
(Another prime example is Valve's own -- Team Fortress2.)
As for my Jurassic Park remark and the meaning behind it was part in due to the point in which CCP hopes to achieve in terms of scale. Jurassic Park was a very big dream, and one of grandeur. CCP's Dust has a lot of the same charecteristics. It's hoping to potentially change much of the gaming industry in large ways, and in the ways we perceive gaming. Where as you have cross platforming gameplay this is hoping to take it a step further and cross game mesh. Two different games working simultaneously together on two different platforms. That is something to be looked at. If it works it may mean big changes in the industry.
Counter Strike: Global Offensive is going for cross platform gameplay which compared the level cross platforming Dust is hoping to achieve is vastly different in scale. Both could mean big things though. It's all about objectivism and how you view things I suppose. |
