EVE Online's developer CCP announced a new project during GamesCom...and here in essence is what Dust 514 is all about:
"DUST 514 is a first-person shooter that's being incorporated into the EVE universe, acting essentially an MMO for consoles. It's a mix of first-person shooting and real-time strategy gameplay where you play as a marine with a rifle running around on the ground. It's not only set in the EVE universe, it's actually connected to EVE. The DUST battlefields will determine who controls territory within EVE's world. The EVE Online players will have to contract players of DUST to go in and destabilize territory. CCP's hope is that the first-person shooter crowd on consoles and the PC EVE Online crowd will eventually form alliances together."
Despite my overall dislike of EVE Online, I have to respect what CCP has done with the universe. It is something like DUST 514 that shows me that CCP is really the foremost developer of innovation when it comes to MMO's.
