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.

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.

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.

@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.

That actualy looks pretty cool. I like the idea of MMOFPS games and with today's tech is very much possible.

@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.

Between this and Planetside 2, 2015 is shaping up to be a great year for me. Assuming I'm still alive.

I tried Eve for a while and it wasn't my cup of tea.  But this looks very different and you gotta like that trailer

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.

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.

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
