I think this is a fascinating idea. I'm not sure it'll actually be any good, but it's fascinating nonetheless.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

@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.

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

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.

 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)

@TheMustacheHero:

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

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. "
Yahtzee made the best description of Eve, i think he said it was an excel spreadsheet in space. hahaha

Right. Except the part where everything you said is wrong and everything Marky said is right. "
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. "
The "wrong part" of EVE is the only part a new player can reasonably expect to experience of EVE. And then what's the pay off for chewing through endlessly boringly similar star fields full of lifeless point and click enemy ships? Becoming part of a player coperation and running, as Yahtzee Croshaw put it, an office job YOU have to pay for? I have to tell you, the only thing I've found more boring and repetitive than EVE online has been listening to EVE online fans defend it.  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.

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.

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

@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!
