And don't get your hopes too high about that EVE FPS. The devs have a reputation for promising the world and delivering an ice cream sundae.

Sure, an ice cream sundae is delightful, BUT THEY SAID YOU COULD HAVE THE WORLD.

They deliver on what they promise, generally, it just takes them fucking ages.

Where did you get that idea about their reputation? They take longer to do things, but they are also an independent company that funds their own projects for the most part.

CCP have a history of being one of the best MMO developers around due to listening to their players and admitting mistakes when no other MMO companies would typically do that. They are way ahead of the curve when it comes to this genre. At one point, they -completely- overhauled the game's graphics in order to stay modern and compete. Took forever, released over several expansions, but fuck if it didn't come together at the end and look absolutely gorgeous.

They have a vision that they stick to. Their publisher went belly up before the game released, and they worked without pay for over half a year in order to finish the game and get it out there. To add insult to injury, the publisher took the box rights to the game, so they had to sell it by digital download ONLY for over half of the game's life. They built an empire from nothing, and managed to top 400k subscriptions this year and are still on a slow and steady rise. Literally the only MMO on the market that has yet to peak in subscriptions, and that's after 11 years. Not bad for a niche game.

There is only a single major feature that was promised and not delivered on - Walking In Stations. And it was their own playerbase that caused them to shelve it after players rioted over an internal newsletter and demanded that CCP refocus back on things that mattered to them. So they did.

DUST 514 is going to be fantastic. Have you missed the Fanfest gameplay videos and presentations about weapons/vehicles/fittings/roles? Looks incredible. Certainly wont be a game that appeals to the typical short attention span CoD gamers, but I have no issues with that at all. They've said outright that they are -prepared- for it to tank at launch, and plan on nurturing a long term player base with constant content/feature updates for years to come. This is the -only- gaming company in the industry that I actually trust when they say something like that.

As far as what they've promised for DUST - they've already shown the live planet bombardment a couple times, where a ship in EVE can bombard a planet from orbit and it happens in real-time in DUST. Games are going to be linked, and they've already said what they will and won't be able to have in at launch, and what they plan on doing after launch. Again, only company I trust when they say they're going to do something.

The game is going to be ENTIRELY free with an optional cash shop that they've stated will NOT feature 'pay-to-win' items. Going to be awesome that day one, I can download the game for free and just start playing.

Didn't mean for that to be so long, but CCP is quality. They make gaffs from time to time, but fuck if they don't try to make up for it. Other companies should look to them as an example of what to do. Their employees genuinely seem to love the company as well. They actually learn from mistakes, listen to their players, and aren't afraid to take REAL chances if it means a truly unique experience. Really hope that one day, they are a giant of the industry and start making a whole slew of other games outside of just MMOs. Love their vision and their business model.
