CCP, the creator of sci-fi MMO Eve Online widens the impact gamers can have in the virtual world with its latest revelation, taking it across both the PS3 and PC/Mac platforms. The official PlayStation blog shared details on Dust 514, a title arriving soon from CCP. The makers suggest that gamers are now empowered to do more than they anticipate in the virtual gaming scenario.
Through its ‘persistent shooter concept’, the upcoming title throws open new avenues of journeying in the Eve universe. So the game doesn’t begin only when the player’s PS3 is on, it’s continuously happening. Participating in events of the Eve universe via combat in this game means actions influence all other players in space and isn’t limited to any one individual.
The various planetary structures created by MMO players in Eve Online form the possible battlegrounds in this CCP title. Each fight has an impact on the complete Eve setting which will include both Dust 514 armed forces and Eve Online starship pilots. The results of capturing and destroying planets and annihilating enemies in the new game will change the territorial control of wide regions in the Eve Online space.
Eve Gate has also been opened up for Dust 514 players. What’s more, gamers will see economic activity between both titles being slowly integrated. CCP Games builds the business model for Dust 514 specifically on the digital distribution and transaction of virtual goods. Free expansions backed by virtual goods sales and more customization options are what’s being worked upon. In fact enthusiasts can anticipate virtual goods to offer all the weaponry and defensive technology along with vehicles in the gameplay.
More like an MMO rather than an FPS label, gamers can expect more details regarding Dust 514 from CCP to surface through in the coming days.
