To all those who trolled my post;- see ya in space when I drop an OBS on your face Lol

Past is past. Let it remain buried. People who dwell in the past are just dooming their future. I couldnt give a rats ass about things 10 years ago. I only care about now.

Your logic of how things were done 10 years ago is absolutely illogical. Things change over 10 years. If CCP has any sort of code and config management they will know how not to use code that does not work and use code that works.

Its going to be a while before you can navigate low sec :p

Again what does things 10 years ago has to do with now. I mean I still play Contra but it has no meaning or bearing on Eve/Dust.

It comes down to 2 things;-

Eve gameplay = Awesome
Dust gameplay = Crappy

Eve = CCP
Dust = CCP

Same Devs! Products that are eons apart.

It will be enough time before Dust goes live. Meanwhile if you ever do decide to climb out of your hole and stop being a whimp let me know and we can schedule a corp battle. High Stakes. 20 Million ISK. I will put the money up from my personal wallet.

What i'm waiting for is the EVE core engine rewrite - when that gets done the result will be truly mindblowing - and at that point, i'm betting that EVE + PS4 DUST 514 will see our Viking developers, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, treading the jeweled thrones of the MMO and the FPS worlds under their sandaled feet. =)

I feel like the fact that EVE is amazing is one of the reasons DUST isn't (yet).

If you started from scratch and picked up a team to make a shooter, you'd probably pick a very different development team. You'd probably start out with very different ideas about what you're trying to build. You'd probably be much better at the things people are expecting you to be good at right away. And in the end, you'd probably make a forgettable shooter that disappears after a couple years. At best, you'd make a Team Fortress or a MAG. But it wouldn't be anything revolutionary or truly lasting.

But we're starting with people who have a lot of experience developing one really amazing thing over a very long timeline. Unless I'm mistaken, this is only the second time CCP has ever done a new release (although individual developers must have worked on other projects). And their last release was a game nothing like this. Hit detection? EVE just needs to make a bunch of calculations and then animate the result. There's no such thing as hit detection. They don't even need to have tight synchronization. If somebody changes course and it takes half a second for you to see it, that won't change the outcome of an encounter nearly as much as it might in an FPS.

And then, even if you hire people who understand FPS-specific issues (which I'm sure they did), the fact that you're trying to put these two games on the same server means you're dealing with traditional problems in a non-traditional environment. If my experience in R&D holds, that fact alone makes it far more challenging to, for example, "just fix hit detection" on this game than it would be on a dedicated FPS.

I expect the initial development process to take a lot longer with CCP than it would with a seasoned FPS developer. And I expect it to require some patience, as they have very little experience communicating and managing expectations around a console game, an FPS, or really any completely new product. But I expect the outcome to be totally unique, totally spectacular, and totally worthwhile.
