Faction Destroyers and T2 Command Carriers (yawn)… I guess carriers needed some love so I can’t really fault them for that (null-sec has been waiting forever).
The Military Campaigns is the only thing that looks interesting - but it could end up being a bait and switch to get folks out of high-sec.
The irony is that I’m actually most excited for Vanguard. Too bad it’s PC-only…
I mean why would you want it to be on console?
So many Please Clap moments…
Because a (good) shooter plays amazing on Controller while you are relaxed lying on the couch in front of a 75" OLED HDR TV.
Seriously, I am all a PC guy, but for shooters I have completely switched to PS5. I am not a pro, I don’t need more than 60 FPS. Console not only open up a whole new market of millions of players, it just offers a truckload more convenience for casual players.
The only crux is: Competiton in the shooter segment is tough. You need a real good concept. Else you fail. Thats the only issue I see, in general goin to PC and Console (crossplay) would be extremely good.
Ok, I have to ask, are you sure? Ain’t you using aim assist they give to console players?
I cannot see a better approach to FPS than mouse.
Sure, basically every shooter that is played with controllers is having some level of “aim assist”. And that is balanced up and down over time to a level that console and PC players achieve comparable results. It isn’t like an “insta-win” cheat. A good mouse-player will still consistently beat a mediocre controller-player even with aim-assist. Hell, most pro-level players will still use mouse+keyboard because at the upper end it’s finally much more precise and fast.
I didn’t necessarily mean console - but why not? Millions of potential Xbox and PS owners…
“Cradle of Snore” (from Reddit). Seems more like a glorified patch than an expansion.
Because I’d rather not have to listen to tens of thousands of 12 year olds autistically screeching racial and homophobic slurs into their headset…
Right, instead preferring to hear that from thousands of dysfunctional 40-something ADHD adults…
Exactly, so why add to it?
If I was designing a FPS, I wouldn’t be trying to limit my market ($)…
If I had the most successful, longest-running space MMO in gaming history, I wouldn’t be siphoning off talent or funds to develop an FPS, period…
Touche’.
Oh please, please, please… can we have “Ganker Scum”, “Carebear” and “Resident Snowflake”?
I just hope that this achievement crap is opt-out or even better opt-in. No need to have additional intel automatically spread out to everyone in the known universe…
I mean come on FC, you are supposed to know how Eve Online in general works…why not directly calm down the users by adding a sentence to the introduction that you have thought about such problems in the first place and that everyone can turn the feature off or selectively modify it? I just DO HOPE you have thought about the consequences beforehand at all…
In my personal opinion it’s 20 years too late, but as long as it is optional and can be turned off, I’m all for it. But it will probably end up being like other games that have tried to add achievements after the fact and it won’t recognize what you’ve already done. And if you’ve already maxed out in a certain area, or have perfect standings or whatever, no one is going to go back to zero and re-do all of that just for an achievement or a title…
I mean the sheer crazyness of the wording points me to how someone thought…“oh yes, well that is industry standard, let’s do it”:
marking what you’ve done, pointing toward what comes next, and letting the universe know exactly what they’re dealing with.
In a PVP and gank game like Eve Online that is exactly the last thing you want anyone to know - that they know what they are dealing with. Just crazy.
I expect it will be. In any other game I’ve played that had titles and achievements, it was always something the player could choose to show or not (especially, titles).
Most likely. If I recall, the same thing happened when they introduced the activity tracker or whatever it was called.
I wonder if these titles and achievements are displayed on the character portrait, and if so - will they be cutoff on the one side, lol.
