Yey, my tip got through.
Now hopefully someone else but me will have heard about this game on this site.

Eve Online, only shooter? Sounds cool, as long as the leveling system doesn't involve starting a character and then spending 6 months just training learning skills before doing anything. :P

Boring? The combat might be slow paced at the beginning, but it is nothing close to boring. Plus this looks like it will have little in common with EVE proper, aside from the art-style/setting.

Being the EVE fan that I am, I watched the 2 hour fanfest keynote, they showed a lot more than this of the new FPS.  Judging by what they showed, this trailer looks like actual gameplay.
 
It looks a little like Battlefield 2142 on steroids.  It has a lot of potential, but what they showed at Fanfest had quite a few rough edges, so given that CCP sticks to the Blizzard philosphy of release dates, I don't think we'll be seeing DUST for quite some time.

Cool. Always wondered when they would do something like this. They need to combine the two into one game, though. Being able physically walk around in your own ship while its doing its mining duties or being able to take part in the hijacking of another space ship is something I always wanted to do in a game. And like... instead of just telling your ship where to go, you would have to run to the Bridge and input the correct commands.

@Noodles: Yeah this does look like it will have little to do with EVE itself, gameplay wise. So I guess my comment was a little spammy. But I tried getting into EVE and just couldn't do it. I don't really play MMO's anyway so that might be part of it, but it just seemed way too slow moving. But if I remember correctly, the Zero Punctuation guy agrees with me, which makes me feel better.

@FunExplosions: That sounds a little like Angels Fall First mod for UT3. A team commands a few ships who's turrets and bridges you controle, you can run around in the ship, launch from the fighter bay & everything. It's one cool mod.
 
Though yeah i'd love to see a fullfledged game geared towards that concept 2. Especially in a persistant setting.

Dont get me wrong not trying to hate or anyting, but first thing that came to mind after that trailer was Frontlines:Fuel of war, even the gunshots sounded the same to me.  Sounds cool though, I love mmo's that feel like they are in a large developed setting that does not take a hours of reading through fansites to understand, and I've always been a bigger sci-fi buff than fantasy, which makes this very interesting.  Too bad EVE is not more approachable, tried it for a bit, and really liked the combat and stuff, but you lose steam fast in that game, and its really not easy to get involved with other players, you have to search them out, and most the time you dont even know why you want to search them out. Also EVE seems to me to be a hardcore fanbase mostly, not for the casual MMO player. So I could pass on those parts of EVE universe.

Some people just got into the wrong part of EVE and assume it's nothing but mining or mission running. 
 
The fun lies in joining a player corporation and then going out and taking space (or just pew-pewing).
 
And...I wouldn't know, but apparently the PVE has improved as well.

It's an interesting idea how it literally ties into the EVE universe, but ActiBliz's next MMO will be an Infinity Ward / Blizzard collaboration MMOFPS called World of Duty and it will destroy this and take over the world.

@BobbyStrong: Can you give me a link to the keynote? I've been playing EVE every now and then since 2004. Total subscription time during the 5½ years is probably only 1½ years though so I'm not at all hardcore, but it has it charms and an FPS in the same universe could be nice. For Caldari!

Wouldn't this be awesome if the FPS's players were the troops that people deploy in EVE online or something crazy like that - so when lets say a player in EVE online decides to attack another faction or planet, the People playing the FPS game get deployed to that planet, so then the battlefields change up

Something about it makes me think of Killzone. But worse. And since Killzone was pretty bad in my eyes, this game isn't going down too well.

Kodos to CCP for this new game which actually looks like it might be interesting and fun to play.

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.

Now now, don't play the role as picky forum prick unless you have valid dirt on people. I think he was referring to the general design of the vehicles looking halo-ish as apposed to what the vehicles actually are. Maybe if you read it a 10th time you might of got what he was talking about. You sir, have self pwned

 total halo rip off, and don't give me this "every military game" spin.  Quad tread tanks, dune buggy styled CAV, drop ships, even the gun looks Halo esqe.. the only thing not halo was the sound, I heard this trailer before I saw it and I swear they are using the death sounds from the original Doom game at a couple of points.  ( you old folks will know what I'm talking about)

I don't think that was entirely CG.  I noticed some shadowing flaws on the gun that shouldn't be there if the whole thing was pre-rendered.  That's not to say it was entirely in-game footage.

Is anyone honestly excited about this?  I am not playing a FPS mmo on a console.  What a ridiculous idea.
