While it would be pretty awesome for Dust to be an open world, that is truly impossible. Dust is not just going to span one world, but dozens of worlds at first, then hundreds, and maybe even thousands of worlds. The sheer size of storage they would need to run full open world maps for all those planets would be staggering. Even considering that EVE is an open space game, most of the open space is empty, with a few planets per system, at most maybe 50 asteroid belts in a system, the rest is just open area. If they were to fill all that space up with objects they would need so much storage, it would become more of a burden than a benefit. |

Defiance is a very radical idea. I hope that it lasts. The fact that it is attached at the hip to a television show that hasn't even aired yet, well lets just say that one will effect the other in more ways than they can think of. If the television show gets cancled, what happens to the game? Will it be able to hold onto its player base? And vise-versa, what if the game fails? It may not have as great an impact on the show, but it will have some...I just think there is a bit of risk involved with that game, less so in Dust because CCP has an established game to fall back on(not that I think Dust will fail, I just don't think CCP is taking as great a risk.). |

But its the very fact that both dust and defiance are trans-media projects(counting integration with eve for dust) is what attracted me to them in the first place, i really hope both do very well because we're looking at an evolution in the idea of what games are and can be and how closely tied the various aspects of the entertainment industry can be. Yes it's a risk but success or failure both games will have changed people's perceptions of what games can be
Exactly, I think its awesome what both games are bringing to the table. It makes me wonder what the game landscape will be in ten years. It's only been in the past decade that online gaming has taken off. I guess with the advent of high speed internet it was inevitable....
