The Future of EVE an FPS?
CCP has a lot on their plate, what with the newest expansion, Quantum Rise on the way. But they're also aiming to expand the EVE franchise with a possible console based shooter! Eurogamer reports :
EVE Online developer CCP has hinted that an FPS based on the EVE universe is in development.
Footage was shown of a Halo-like shooter on a daylit, Earth-like planet surface. The architecture and gun designs were clearly redolent of the space MMO's art style.
There was also a third-person view of a land vehicle driving across the surface.
Earlier in the presentation on the future of EVE, CCP bosses Hilmar Petursson and Nathan Richardsson had mentioned that CCP has a "game console strategy", and a slide mentioning PS3 and 360 was shown.
Between QR, World of Darkness (CCP's other MMO development project), and this, we've got a lot to pay attention to in the coming months!
