Cerebral Wolf: Jun 20, 2008

We have tears, i'm hated about as much as Mittens is in EVE right now which is a hell of a lot. I'm working on large scale goon shenanigans, epic battles and good gameplay but it's all on my list of things to do.

So uhm..any word on PC port? Or is it a common belief the PS3 exclusive thing is there to stay? This is such an unlikely and unfortunate exclusive for Sony to buy.

I never understood how and why people play an FPS with a pad.

PC port seems an obvious step. Keyboard and mouse support will be in from day 1, after all. I wouldn't be playing it myself if they didn't have plan for keyboard/mouse support that, as they've said, will make PC gamers feel right at home. There won't be any reason for them to keep in on Playstation, apart from the work necessary for hardware compatibility/etc.

Personally i'd say give it 12-18 months from now.

Man, this and Planetside 2 are almost big enough to make me quit my job and leave Afghanistan. The people that think our only strength is numbers never played Battlefield or COD with goons, the only time I ever lost with a goon group on those was when we used gimmick handicaps. We legit won with our entire team only using the engineer repair tool in BFBC2 once.

This is exactly what goons do. We don't rely on strictly numbers, we're much better at figuring out the random, insane poo poo that no one would ever even think of trying, then running that poo poo into the ground. And gimmick handicaps are the best way to play.

I've never heard anything about a contract restricting them from porting the game to the PC. I guess I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case, though.

I really, really want to get in this and while i don't expect to win, i'd love to do a big enough upset and take beat some of the "ELITE PVP" clans that are out there.

I'm going to sign us up and i hope to god enough of you are interested in this that we can field a full 16 people for each match.

Cockblocking Jerk: Mar 14, 2012; Goggles, yes. Shovels? I don't know how or why we'd use them.

I might try this thing when I get back from deployment next month, I have a PS3, and a beta key was sent to me because I used to play EVE.

(I don't remember signing up for any betas)

I'm kinda iffy about playing an FPS with console kiddies who

all the time though. I haven't touched an FPS on a console in a long loving time, so I'm looking forward to getting loads of pubbie hate for just sucking rear end at this game, maybe I'll be decent with a mouse and kb, that's what I play all my normal games on.

Are voice comms ingame a cesspool of 10 year old kids who just learned the word gently caress and racists? I don't know if I am willing to put up with lovely voice chat.

# ? Oct 17, 2012 13:32

No actually, i'm very, very surprised by how coms have been in games with randoms. It's actually been really mature when people actually have a headset.

The other option is just roll with goons with our allies. You don't ever have to tolerate pubbies then.

Dolash: Oct 23, 2008; Pickle: Inspected.

Been holding off on getting a PS3 for years but this game might break me. I really love the concept, but I'm wary about buying a game for the concept alone. The OP was pretty good and gave a lot of info. Can I get some beta impressions? Particularly about the prospects for the game interacting with EVE and for war material costing some sort of resource (the idea of adding risk of financial loss into a shooter in some sort of persistent way sounds really interesting to me)? Even if this stuff isn't implemented yet, how likely does it seem they'll be able to deliver on their lofty ambitions?

# ? Oct 18, 2012 18:14

Lassitude: Oct 21, 2003

They just updated EVE with some of the framework for Dust to impact faction wars stuff, and are testing the integration of chat/corporation stuff between the two games now. So the issue of getting the two games to interact seems to be going forward just fine, which I think is the big hurdle.

As for the rest, well, they still do have that NDA up so I'm sure some of us are reluctant to get into any specifics. But if your interest hinges on Dust corporations having a serious interest in money and financing their ability to wage war, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

# ? Oct 18, 2012 20:41

Cerebral Wolf: Jun 20, 2008

Personally i have a lot of faith that CCP will deliver on everything but it's a matter of time. Looking at the way CCP did EVE it took awhile for everything to get put into the game and they are in fact still adding to it now, 10 years after release.

CCP have gone on record to say they already have 5 years worth of expansions etc planned out to keep the game progressing and evolving as time goes on. Dust has also got strict orders to be a huge currency sink for EVE so no matter what happens, it will have SOME impact on EVE in the future even if they don't deliver everything they promise.

It's worth nothing that the planetary districts we fight in have just been added into EVE this week so EVE players can see where and when something is going on and thats before we even launch.

Edit, gently caress, beaten like a whore.

EDIT again: You guys got any feedback for the ants?.... colour, expression etc?

I'd keep the color, red ants a commonly seen as invasive and as pests, but maybe give it a different expression? it looks kinda apathetic. Also there's 4 body segments instead of 3.

# ? Oct 18, 2012 21:42

Yeah, the ant needs to have an expression like he's digging in his heels and preparing to be terrible at games.

Keep in mind this is just the prototype before we lock things in place, i've ordered 7 ants to be designed right now we can choose from a Assault, Logi or whatever.

Here's the updated version for today. Feedback welcome.

edit: I've been playing around with the expression. Right now I'm keeping it as close to Fat Bee as possible, but I'll try for more determined.

as for the body segments, yes there are 3 but the torso has a clear division in it on most species, so I was trying to show that.

But keep the feedback coming. I want to get this one right as it's the basis for all the others.

I'd go for more angry eyes, Fat Bee is sorta doing an angry squint.

Maybe play with the posing a little bit? Slightly more tensed up maybe? I like the fritz helmet though.

Maybe make the cigar at less of an angle? It looks like he's just holding it in his mouth instead of angrily clenching it.

The logo on the helmet works well. I will second that he needs to look a little angrier, if you're trying to match fat bee better

Tuxedo Catfish: Mar 17, 2007; You've got guts! Come to my village, I'll buy you lunch.

Don't listen to the haters, apathy is the perfect emotional attitude towards any EVE-related game. My only concern would be that perhaps he looks a little too pensive.

He could probably use a little more detail -- not too much, but look at Fatbee. He's got those veins in his wings, a stripey body, etc. Lazy Ant's butt and head look good but the midsection is kinda forlorn.

# ? Oct 19, 2012 05:57

Cerebral Wolf: Jun 20, 2008

Maybe have the Ant clenching the cigar in his teeth in a kinda Hannibal from the A-Team/Arnie/Winston Churchhill style? I've no idea if that's possible or would even look good, but it could look more aggressive and less passive.

I agree a little more detail on the mid section could be good, however keep in mind this is only the base model so the others could potentially have armour or something on and you wouldn't see it.

Plug in a mouse and keyboard then..

Right now if you're not that good and you run with the basic gear you'll get slaughtered, i can't use the basic stuff for that reason, i have to use my skillpoints and gear to my advantage and just out tank/dps everyone.
