@TheMustacheHero: I'm not saying the use of a tank is Halo-ish. That would be stupid. But if you're paying attention, the tank has a similar appearance to a Scorpion. The jeep looks quite Warthoggy (although it doesn't slide around the same way), and, lo and behold, that "flying contraption" is shaped very much like a Pelican.

This sounds intriguing, since there aren't many MMOFPS to begin with. Which console does it come out for? Both PS3 and Xbox 360?

As much as I would love a developer like CCP to succeed, I just can't see how they are going to make a multiplayer fps thats going to beat the halos and Modern Warfares while maintaining a link to EVE online at the same time.

Will be interested to see how they make it a "massive multiplayer" shooter, so far it just looks like a regular shooter which is set in the EVE universe. From this trailer it looks like BF2142. Nice vehicle action and explosions.

I don't think this is ingame footage. The camera moves are a bit too smooth to look like actual gameplay. But who knows, coz I think it looks quite pretty albeit another future scifi-ish shooter on the market.

Hey, i started off mining.  Now my alliance peons mine for me while I use the ships they build to blow the sh*t outta other peeps.
 
And this integrates into the EVE universe by using microtransactions into EVE to get your guns.  You buy "blueprints", which EVE players use in game minerals to build and then sell back to the Dust playerbase.  Really should integrate very well.  EVE supplies mins to sell via guns for ISK along with buying seiges in Dust.  Dust players need guns so they need the EVE players.
 
Now what I want is the alliances/corps in EVE to be able to have a same corp/alliance in Dust.

Eh... I'll have to see it in action before I can actually consider it. For a CGI 'target video' it sure doesn't look that spectacular like Killzone2's did.
 
Although I am totally down for a massive Battlefield 2143, this game doesn't look even close.

Doesn't look too bad but I think that without all the ubercrazy that happens in Eve Online (ie. guy stealing the guild bank, spy sneaking in guild & assassinating leader, etc.) this might not be as fun as seeing that pure level of crazy. Still might be a good shooter to give it a whirl.

The most exciting thing about this video is the last few seconds showing it's made by CCP.  I'm certainly intrigued to see what they make of an FPS game but more particularly how it feeds in to the meta game and actually having an affect on the Eve universe.

It's apparent that your mind was already made up and you had a copy-pasta response ready (if not digital, then mental) for a someone who would "defend" the game he likes.  I was merely trying to explain what I find fun in EVE.
 
If you listened to Yahtzee's opinion (who, btw didn't actually experience the player corp part of EVE and merely judged it from the outside) and then accepted that as fact, then that's fine. I don't care.

I call World of Warcraft work and make fun of my friends for playing to grind; it's my opinion. They find it fun and keep on playing anyway.
 
To each to his own, but if someone else chimes in and says "I find EVE fun", don't come in and tell him he's wrong. 
 
For those with open minds: EVE is a very different experience than other MMOs. If you try it, consider finding a player corporation. The players are the people that shape the world. The people and events of EVE are unpredictable and remarkable.  The missions (aka "quests")  or mining are merely a means for making money to expand your collection of ships and equipment. I highly reccomend the player vs. player combat, though it will take quite some learning to become adept.    The game requires patience and a certain level of intelligence that not everyone possesses so don't feel down if you wash out.  Oh, and play the tutorial. It will help shallow the learning curve. "
The only thing that is apparent is that we're on a message board and that I was offering you my opinion. As you recall, you started us off on that route by offering yours. It would appear, however, from your giant wall of text, that you have decided to get offended. Let me set this straight. I've played EVE. I walked away bored, and I've told you why. I've played WoW. I walked away bored, but for very different reasons. 
 
To each his own, indeed. But I'd invite you to never again tell me what I should and should not do, and I'd remind you that you did not say "I find EVE fun." Like all true fanboys, you said "I find EVE fun, and here's why you don't." Not content there, you then went on to say that if you don't find EVE fun it's because "the game requires patience and a certain level of intelligence that not everyone possesses so don't feel down if you wash out." From my experience I think you're wrong. The game requires one thing, and I think you are demonstrating very well what that one thing this.

@Ragdrazi: I think you may have misunderstood me. I understand why EVE is a niche game, and I noted that it's not for everyone.  
 
I was not offended, I was just explaining my opinion was different than yours. It's unfortunate that you interpreted that as an insult.

I didn't misunderstand you at all. You did say it was not for everyone. Specifically, you said it was not for people with less intelligence and patience than yourself. I disagree. I said the one element clearly required is the kind of obsessive fanboy dedication you explicitly display.
 
I fail to see what I have interpreted as an insult in any this. Clearly, I stated that ~you~ had interpreted my opinion as an insult. And I hope you have as that was more or less the intention. 
 
As I said, the only thing I've found more repetitive than EVE online has been its fans, and you'll notice how, between this response and the last, I've had to repeat every point in the hopes that you'll get it this time? Is this the level of intelligence one must possess to see any point in EVE online?

@Ragdrazi: Sorry, you misinterpreted what I said as an insult. EVE is not for everyone. I meant you need to enjoy the niche and have some intelligence and patience.
 
You can have intelligence and patience and not enjoy EVE as well. I see that is where the misunderstanding was.
 
You came in and said EVE was boring, and I said it wasn't. This is obviously subjective.
  
I have just tried to explain my opinions for liking something and for some reason this has angered you and made you insult me. I'm very sorry for this misunderstanding.

I doubt that it's pre-rendered, mainly because the guys behind EVE Online are known for pushing some hardcore graphics.  However, we've been fooled before. 
 
Nonetheless, I'm intrigued.

@jim_dandy: Alright then. To interpret what you've said "correctly," you did not, in true fan boy fashion say "I find EVE fun, and here's why you don't." Instead you said "I find EVE not boring, and here's why you don't." I don't think it's particularly subjective to say there is no real difference there. 
 
I'm sorry to keep having to repeat myself, but I haven't found anything you've said to be particularly insulting. At least not to me. The way you're talking now, seems like you may not be aware how much of what you've said has appeared to be typical fanboy blather. Yet again, I have to repeat myself and say there is nothing wrong with stating your opinion on why you like something. But that aint what you did is it? Instead you said why others are wrong for having their opinions. The fact that you had not at any point indicated that it was also your opinion that a person can have intelligence and patience and not enjoy EVE sort of points to the poor social skills that would be required to be that unaware of how you were coming across. So maybe I should be sorry for beating up on you so hard? 
 
Personally, I think you're just trying to weasel out of what you've said in the most passive aggressive way imaginable, but, eh, I could be wrong. 
 
Oh, and don't worry about me. I'm not angry. This isn't angry. You'll know when I'm angry. 
 
You may not or may not like me then.

If it is pre-rendered, it seems to be very close to the game play that was demoed in October.

@Ragdrazi: You're still obsessing over this? 
 
You can say you're not angry but you've put passive aggressive weasel words in indicating you are.  It's unfortunate I've (unintentionally) bruised your ego so much by trying to explain my opinion, but you have to understand what I say to you is without mine.

I wasn't trying to weasel out of anything. I was just trying to apologize because you keep trying to twist my words. It's unfortunate you feel that you're above such behavior and yet you engage in it.
 
Do we need a disclaimer for all our words?

@jim_dandy: I'm sorry, but what? In your post here, I can't even begin to understand what you're trying to say. In particular, "but you have to understand what I say to you is without mine." Without your what? And, my, it would seem you think quite highly of yourself to believe you've somehow "bruised my ego". I'm confused as to what you are supposed to have done to have bruised it. I don't see what "weasel words" I've used, nor do I think the term can be correctly applied to anything that has been said in this conversation thus far. But if it really is as important to you as you're making it seem to suss out what my emotional state has been while talking with you here, personally i'd say "vaguely annoyed". 
 
You say I've been trying to twist your words, but you'll notice how many direct quotes I've used from you here? It really is starting to seem like you're just not very aware of how you're coming across. I think your badly constructed post here is yet more evidence that you're kind of a poor communicator, and I am sorry for having beat up on you so much.

I could easily refute and destroy all of your points due to the fact that you use massive fallacies of argument, but what's the point? You'd just "Fox News" me, so it's more fun to just dick with you.
