Dust is not NEARLY as good as Planetside 2. It looks smaller, it looks worse, I think one of the problems was that PCP was trying to branch into a console audience, but it just doesn't compare to Planetside 2 at all because it's on console. That's not bad, but it doesn't work for this sort of game.
EVE is cool as hell. It's also Spreadsheet: The Game. Thank you, TGS podcast. EVE is so cool to read about, but I'll never try playing, and besides, 'tis BORANG. Also, subscription fees
. One day, I hope someone makes a 4X (normally a space game- Expand, Exploit, Explore, Exterminate) skill based game with all of EVE's nuances, Red Faction's destruction engine (GeoMod 2.0), and a MMO's persistence. Basically, 4X+ Planetside 2+ EVE+Red Faction. But it would be rather interesting for it to be a different genre, like, say, War of the Roses style realistic medieval melee.
