Looks stellar to me. Can't knock it if it's free. Wish Microsoft offered some free games...

This would be cool....only if I knew people on the EVE side of things that I could do missions specifically for or against.

Also, the PS3 exclusivity thing is just dumb.

Honestly I expected it to at least look prettier than this.

How free is it? If they just mean there's no monthly fee, but you have to make a one-time purchase of the game itself, then I don't see it as a big deal.

@BaneFireLord:

Sony has probably given them a load of money, I can't think of any other reason.

I was more wondering why there is no PC version.

what the hell? Free to play on a Sony console? Or just the beta/demo?

I believe it's free to play for the final version. I'll check it out when it's released.

wow that would be really cool.  I'm going to have to watch for it.

I kind of want to play this just to be a small part of the EVE insanity, but I doubt I would play much with so many other shooters to play.

The orbital strike actually comes from an EVE Online player. Pretty neat, but I'm gonna wait and see. Sony continues to test F2P on PSN and so far I'm not sold.

Looks very much like Battlefield 2142 at first glance. It'll be interesting to see how they link this to the Eve universe but the game play itself looks a bit 'meh'.
