CCP gave a nice little presentation yesterday in Iceland. The keynote covered Dust 514, the upcoming PlayStation 3 MMO tie in shooter. They showed off two players on separate PS3s playing through the same mission.
There was also some beta information announced, with a closed beta commencing in April which those in the room will all be included in. There will be further waves of beta testers between April and June before the beta opens up to many more in June, “Around E3”. Sounds like a couple of months of closed beta and then an open beta around an E3 showcase.
At the same event, they showed a little bit of the integration with EVE Online. An EVE player can basically coordinate with a Dust 514 player who assigns a target on the planet surface for the orbiting EVE ship to bombard. It all looks very cool.
The 34 minute presentation is in the video below, skip ahead to 4:45 to see the game in action.
