Nice trailer visually.


However tells you nothing about the actually game play which will likely be utter shite and contain all the crap players have come accustomed to with MMO games.

Maybe in 9-15 years time the technology and network infra structure will exist to actually do a space MMO that's decent and can come close to delivering game play that matches the promotional material.

The game has been out for eight fucking years, so if you actually cared to know what the game is like, you have had more than ample opportunity to find out before coming here and making ignorant statements about what it will "likely" be.



JFC westy, did someone crank down your morphine drip or something? Every other video I watch this morning has some pissy, righteous commentary from you. Note, this observation is from someone practiced in pissy, righteous commentary.

I never could get into Eve. I've tried, multiple times, but no.

Moving this video to LarsaruS's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

While Westy is coming off as a half assed dimwit (how unusual), Eve really is an acquired taste with a learning curve like climbing a wall covered in razor wire, shards of glass and radioactive killer land sharks...

That actually sounds more fun than the demo of Eve I tried.

I could not get into how the ships flew around. While I understand the way they modeled it is what's needed for their netcode, it was way too simple and well, 'Just click.. then click.. then click.. and you're there!'. I even noticed ships passing through the warpgates(?) don't really care about the architecture of the gate. They'll fly right through structures.

I'm sure there's some great other aspects to the game, but I need some sense that I'm actually flying something.

I've never tried it but I really like it conceptually. I like the idea that MMOs can simulate a fictional reality and that there's good and bad in that, excitement and tedium. I like when there are few rules and that those that do exist are enforced in-universe whenever possible.

But I also have no interest or willingness to pay a subscription to play a game.

Yeah, the concept is great including the fact that theft/robbery/griefing (ie. stuff that happens in the real world) are all kosher.

Any game with the sheer scope for such an event to be pulled off should be applauded, but it certainly doesn't mean it's for everyone. ; )
