If they say console exclusive I will be nonplussed.

Would you really be surprised if it only went console? REALLY?

If they say console exclusive, I think Iceland might get nuked off the planet.
Valkyrie is the ONLY reason I am even considering getting a Rift at this point.

CCP: Our first console game was a complete disaster. How should we follow it up?
CCP: Let's try it again!

The first flight sim I played was Fury3. After that, EF-2000, Janes ATF, Janes USAF, Janes F-16, F-22, F-15, Freelancer, and others.
I have literally been training on flight simulators for 18 years.
Get. On. My. Level.

I'm beginning to think CCP's origins in Iceland makes them a bit culturally oblivious when it comes to PR with the Anglo market. Or rather, maybe it's some Icel-
YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE NO FREAKIN CLUE!

I like how everyone calls me Anakin now. I just tell myself to remember who Anakin became and what he ended up leading : )

You assume I was talking to you. You assume too much.

He took a shit load of people to his grave with him though vOv

...He lost a duel against his son. then learned the true meaning of friendship, or something

Before that part. Between NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and getting owned by Luke.

I remember when I lived and breathed Star Wars. Then came 15 years of steady chipping away on that font of happiness on all fronts, which started right about after the Timothy Zahn trilogy of books came out.
This book is awesome!
These books are less awesome!
Now there's a book with a story about every background character in the Cantina scene! I....didn't know I wanted to know about those people.
Now there's 50 books released every month, this timeline just got fucking complicated.
Aww shit yea! Prequels!
Wait what? What the fuck is this shit?
Ok ok first one had issues, this next one sounds great!
Anakin the whiny teeager WTF is this shit?
ok ok ok this last one will be great! More...yoda swordfights. NOOOOOOOOOOOO

I never played it 'right' either, I'd often just fly randomly off mission and go land on the little towns and shoot rockets at building while driving around like a car before taking off again.
-
Did anyone ever play those old DOS-launched sims? F19 Stealth Fighter and things like that? Everything's in block 3d graphics and the sound coming from your soundblaster to mimic engines sounded like your modem was connecting?
-
F-15 Strike Eagle II in CGA, baby.
-

First PC game I owned. Closely followed by Day of the Tentacle.

You played it right. :)

A bunch of doubting, incompetent nitwits?

Day of the Tentacle.

Day of the Tentacle.

One of the best games ever made. :cube:

That was the 'golden age' of Lucasarts, when they were just creating an amazing, amazing adventure game catalog within such a short span of time.
The Secret of Monkey Island
Loom
Maniac Mansion
Day of the Tentacle
Sam and Max Hit the Road
etc etc so much excellent humor and creative, genius writing.
I always like to compare/contract lucasarts during this period with SIERRA, who also made amazing and memorable adventure games (Space Quest, etc), but followed a much different game design philosophy. In the lucasarts games it was basically impossible to 'lose' you would never die and there were generally no wrong answers. In games like 'space quest' you would die every 10 seconds, albeit hilariously. I have a fond memory of Monkey Island 2 where there was a part in the game where you sort of 'died' and they were making fun of Space Quest death scenes

I love how this topic went from "WTF CCP Rage!!?!" to "Hugs4UAll" through the power of old school Lucasarts and some light-hearted trolling of Anslol's Vader man-love. :)

I approve of this transformation and derail from my OP :P

Jetfighter 2! I, uh, didn't really understand the interface, so I mostly just took off and bombed random buildings in San Francisco.... :bear: By the way, did any of you guys play the original X-Wing or TIE Fighter games?
Also, that article-- good god.
Here's the problem. CCP's going, "Holy shi-! People love this! Let's get this IN FRONT OF EVERYONE." "Wait, how do we do that? Uh. VR's not going to be in everyone's hands..." "Alright. Console, no VR. It'll be great!"
Aie. CCP, the VR is precisely why we want it. If I have to buy some random console to play a random EVE-themed flight sim, I'm not getting it. Now, to fly an EVE fighter in VR...
-
Don't mention X-Wing and Tie-Fighter. And even less X-Wing alliance.
Nostalgia almost slaughters me everytime.
-
"TIE Fighter" was so, so much more my style than "X-Wing." The Rebel Alliance seems to have something against small, light fighters. The B-wing might as well have been a shuttle for all the dodging it could do.
The A-wing was the only rebel ship I really liked. I looked forward to A-wing missions so, so much.
TIE Interceptors and their descendants ... mmmmmm.
....
Okay, I could do with havin' me an Eve fighter. (Dragonfly, of course.)
-
I loved A-Wings but when it came to sheer firepower... Like to chainkill bombers... Capacitor always empty :P
Fortunately there were those lovely concussion missiles... :yar:
I have to admit that I was a X-G1 gunboat fanboy when I was younger (that ship was so sexy). It was totally OP in Tie Fighter, they nerfed it to death in the next series...

Interesting quotes:
“The primary thing on the Dust team right now is growing the link between Dust and Eve, taking things like Faction Warfare and Planetary Conquest to another level and making it a bigger part of the game, ultimately continuing to grow the way Eve and Dust, and eventually Valkyrie, connect.”
[...]
“Ultimately Valkyrie will become a fully-fledged member of the Eve universe, where all three games will share an economy and will have members in corporations engaging in combined arms operations.” Envisaging Dust mercenaries as armour and infantry units, Valkyrie pilots as the air forces controlling the skies and Eve pilots the interstellar navy, Reid foresees a massive shift in not just how people play Eve, but how the universe is perceived and joined. Reid and his colleagues are however under no illusions that just as Eve had endured its shares of tough times and Dust has for most of 2013 been on rocky terrain, there will be turbulence ahead for Valkyrie: “The lessons of Eve and Dust are clear to us. VR is a nascent technology and there aren’t many signposts to tell us when we’re doing things well or breaking new ground. We have to make sure we get this right - that is the first priority for Valkyrie. Then we sort the connection to the broader Eve universe. It will happen.“
-
The more and more they want all those games intermingled and their economies inter dependent, the more they risk that when one eventually fails, collapses, or closes due to lack of players or whatever, then it might severely cripple the other ones and make some kind of snowball effect...

Yes. On the Amiga, though, not DOS.

I'm going to roll a female character for this, just for the ability to one day say in character, "Yeah, we got into a nice little turn and burn fight where we scissored for twenty minutes before I shot them down."

No.
And I would never, ever, forgive them.

I'm sorry.
