CCP Announces Console MMO Tie-In To the EVE Universe

Hork_Monkey writes "CCP Games, developer of the popular MMO EVE Online, has announced a new game called Dust 514. Building on the EVE universe, this game will provide planetary combat from an RTS and FPS perspective, with significant impact into the space combat aspects of EVE Online. Love or hate EVE Online, this appears to be an innovative way to expand the overall universe by catering to a different gamer audience. A video with a trailer and further explanation was posted from GDC Europe."

Doing a good job making the game enjoyable? Eve? That's debatable.

My big concern is that typical console gamers are about as far removed from Eve players as they are from people who snapped up Barbie Horse Adventures.

See that's your problem, you wanted to join a guild...you really want to join a Corp in EVE. Seriously though, EVE is a PVP game...nothing else
