When people talk about Dust feeling sluggish, it's not purely because the game is 'slow' compared to faster twitch shooters, but because the Unreal engine is notorious for having a floaty, weightless feel to it by default. A large part of this is that nearly all the player movement is essentially faked. Your gun does not exist, your player model does not exist, to the engine you're nothing more than a box with a series of fancy animations to make it seem otherwise. Unless those animations are REALLY fancy, and the transitions between them are SUPER smooth, you're going to get some of that "I'm a sliding box" feeling bleed through into the game. Right now in Dust the cracks are clearly visible and frequently break the illusion of being a big heavy robot suit.

It's not that Dust is 'too slow', as much as the engine isn't currently punchy enough to make you feel the reason for that is your own weight.

From what I've seen so far,people are willing to be committed. There are plenty of corporations around at the moment, some with 100-300 members. There are frequent corp battles, but CCP needs to stress the importance of corps and force noobs into player corps.

Don't be silly. COD doesn't come out every 6 months and no one forces anyone to buy anything.

Regardless of my feelings about COD plays (I don't like it) you simply cannot deny that there is a ton of content on each disc. There are about a dozen game modes in MP, about 14 maps on the disc, zombies and all that other gubbins.

But yes, I do agree. If Dust was to match the top dogs from a technical perspective, we'd possibly be looking at something very big.

Again as someone coming in with frankly no real working knowledge of eve how would you go about finding what corp is right for you

Hi everyone, a little background on myself in as short a period as possible. I have been a gamer for about 20 years now and in the last year have started working around on youtube which has become a big part of the whole game experience for me. I have played a very small amount of EVE in the past with friends so I was interested and excited to pickup dust.

Right now my level of experience is next to nothing. A lot of my subscribers were asking me to make a video about dust and my initial thoughts on the environment.

I would like to say that I appreciate that Dust is only in BETA and from everything I have heard there is a lot of support and updates to come so dont take my first thoughts as anything more than that.

I look forward to learning more understanding wrong conclusions I have made and perhaps if Dust becomes a title that I want to expand and continue playing I will really push contributing to it as much as possible.
I have done this with Battlefield 3 and for the most part I've received a lot of positive feedback from the community and the DICE Developers and so on.

Here is my first initial thoughts on the game please bear in mind that I will post another updated video hopefully this week to expand and correct any incorrect statements assumptions or developments within
thanks for reading and watching

Dust 515: Initial Overview with Luetin

I just watched the OP's video. And I believe the cause of the troubles people are having is that they truly believed that Dust 514 was going to be a MMOFPS. I noted many times in the video that the person talking would compare the game to Planetside 2, which is a real MMOFPS with a world to fight over.

I blame CCP, since they were first to call it a MMOFPS.
Dust 514 is not a MMO. not a MMOFPS.
It's a large scale multiplayer shooter like MAG and Resistance 2 are. They have a unique feel than the games like CoD and BF3 which was also designed to be small scale for consoles compared to the PC version.

Also keep in mind that this is a PS3 title, that need to run on the system and handle large scale numbers. Planetside 2 wouldn't be able to run on a PS3. No way Dust 514 would if it were a real MMO.

It's not. It's a MAG like game. That's what it should be compared to. I agree with a lot in the video. The UI is confusing. The game modes suck.

There is no sense of attachment to a team in this game like there is in MAG.

Better graphics may lead to poor gameplay. Keep in mind that unlike other PS3 titles with high graphics, this game is a multiplayer title with large number. More graphics mean more the PS3's limited hardware has to do. Which leads to sacrifice in gameplay. I rather have better gameplay than better graphics.

Are you actually serious or this some kind of dolan duck joke?

How the living **** can a better framerate equal worse game-play in a competitive shooter?

I'm beginning to despair for these forums.
