Upcoming shooter Dust 514 is doing a lot of unusual things. It’s a PlayStation 3-exclusive first-person shooter that ties into and relies on events in the world of PC MMO Eve Online.
With every new day comes a new excuse for nasty people to crucify video games. This time it’s a study by researchers at Brigham Young University, as reported by U.S. News in a story today titled “Spouses Being Pushed Aside For Video Games” that claims gaming is ruining marriages.
Dust 514′s the latest video game in a long line to try to re-envision armed conflict in a sci-fi future. So far, the developers at CCP have given us peeks at the game’s vehicles and their maybe-too-powerful-to-even-shoot weapons. Today brings a look at the dropsuit armour that warriors in the online shooter will be sporting. CCP describes the dropsuits’ variations like so:
There are so many things I love about Eve Online, but almost all of it can be traced back to the game’s mystique. I guess that’s what I love most about Eve Online; I haven’t played it.
In most combat games, you get into a vehicle and you ride/drive it — often, it’ll have weapons for you to fire, too — until the wheels fall off. You might be able to upgrade the guns or armour in some instances but that’s generally the extent of it.
Your long struggle is now over, EVE Online players, as CCP gears up for the November 29 release of its 15th free expansion, Crucible, returning your beloved spaceships to spinning in stations status following a brief period of madness.
