It was never about PI though it was all linked to factional warfare, it would technically be possible to bring it back but considering sony helped bankroll the game they likely had a contract clause to prevent this, hence CCP would need to make a new game, which is why project nova is a thing
EVE is place of countless extremely beautiful and dead dreams.
Please CCP, why won’t you let us LIVE in EVE in our Avatars? Resuscitate WIS AND DUST AND VALKYRIE!
Let me remind you that Dust was announced in 2009 and launched in 2013 which is like 4 years as well. Seeing as how dust failed flat on its face, it seems that CCP isnt taking any chances with this one and wants to polish it before delivering.
Dust would not only need to be ported over to PC…which works SOOOOO well in other games, right? >.> but it would also need to be redesigned to work within the freeform concept that CCP wants to do.
Thank God. The 3rd time VR reared it’s ridiculously over-hyped head and finally died… again in my lifetime.
Valkyrie isnt dead. They just stopped supporting VR for it. They are working on keeping 2d open as VR didn’t catch on like people thought due to price issues. Hell Valkyrie is on sale now for 50% off and you dont need VR to play it.
How to make free money.
Make new game.
Whatever it cost to develop that game, claim it cost double or triple that.
Make sure game is rigged to fail ( console only, VR only, whatever the hell SPARC is, etc ).
Money grab what you can before shutting it down.
Write off inflated value of game on taxes.
Rinse, repeat.
I remember game developers who promised their fans a life-time subscription for $150 (Hellgate London, Flagship Studios). The game died within a few years after opening. The rest is history. SC seems to be pretty much the same thing only in a slightly different make-up. I doubt SC will flop upon opening and they’ll be putting a lot of the money into advertisement and making it look good, but the sheer amount of expectations the wait for the game is creating will also kill it in the end when the casual gamer discovers that it’s just another game and not the promised miracle.
SC; It’ll most likely be a mile wide and an inch deep like Elite Dangerous, Eve is a mile deep on the other hand, it can be 10 MILES deep, but I suspect the Devs are just treading water now and milking it, as they observe game technology passing them by.
