You probably are sitting there with your mouth open, thinking to yourself "what the hell did I just watch?" This is CCP (the creators of EVE Online) utilizing in game footage and showing us what they think the future of gaming will be with Dust 514. The video is a dramatization of what CCP is striving to make online gaming in the future and what they just might achieve. Right. That's what it looked like to me too:
"More than a mere persistent world, Dust 514's connection with EVE Online makes New Eden a true virtual reality. The planets that Dust 514's players fight on will be the same planets that EVE pilots see and interact with in space. Both worlds will be linked in such a way that cooperation between players is optional, but beneficial to both if accepted." |
This is the future of online gaming.
Multi-platform, multi-game, online cooperation like it's never been done before. This is where gaming is headed, and to watch CCP at the forefront, merging console and PC together is very exciting. This could possibly launch a whole new genre of MMO games that allows players to choose what role of the world they want to be a part of. How far are we from seeing this come to light? Who knows, but judging by the video above, we can't be too far off. So I want to know if online players want this. Do players want cross-platform titles? Would you play this game?
