It's really too early to tell with Destiny. They've basically just released a small teaser and have said they plan on evolving/supporting it over the next ten years. We really don't know what it's going to be like or what exactly they have planned. From what I can tell though, I think Destiny is meant to be more like Borderlands (or an online Mass Effect) in that it's an open world/universe where you're free to travel and do PVE missions as you please (solo or with other people in your world), more like a traditional MMO. Where as Dust is more about specific PVP battles, district control, and corps.

Dust requires a lot of time investment to get the most out of it. It's not designed to be the type of game where you can log on, play a couple of quick rounds/do a few missions, and feel like you're making real progress and accomplishing something. Eventually the game will be all about corps fighting each other for districts/ISK/reputation/etc. The combination of these things will turn off a lot of "casual" gamers and leave only the "hardcore" to form a small focused community.

I think a good analogy to the way I see it is Destiny = Skyrim, and Dust = Demon/Dark Souls. DS is a very good game, and popular with the hardcore/forum going crowds with a strong smaller community, but in terms of volume/popularity and cultural impact it isn't on the same level of something like Skyrim which is very popular with the mainstream crowd. They're a similar genre (action RPGS), but you can't really compare them as they aim for different markets and demographics. There's a place for both Dust and Destiny, and I don't think either will really effect the other in terms of popularity and longevity.

that's very eloquently put.

however i would in part disagree with the analogy.

because i do this

Dust will also make an appearance on the PS4 too. so its not as if it can be taken at face value either. if im not mistaken, CCP plan on having PvE matches in future too

i would compare both games to being like this:
Destiny - Skyrim
Dust - The Elder Scrolls online.

mostly equal, but differing in a few ways

still think Dust will be bigger than you say though : snicker

Well yeah, right now I agree with you as I do the same but that's mostly just because right now there isn't anything to do besides farm SP. It's just that in the grand scheme of the game, Dust is meant more to be about corps fighting for power and control. Eventually everyone will basically be leveled up and have huge bank accounts, so quick pub matches and SP will be almost meaningless.

It definitely could be. It has a huge amount of potential to be something special (and I hope it is), but I just think it's more likely to slip into irrelevance in the larger gaming community but maintain a smaller devoted community (like EVE), though that's not really a bad thing.

[Ghost-Rhayne]

Very good points you two.

This year (sometime) there is a gladiator feature coming to the EVE universe where corps can go against each other and EVE and DUST players will be able to spectate and make bets on who will win. Also, eventually DUST 514 will get industry roles, like in EVE, meaning that there will be roles outside of combat that PS gamers can do. For example, Brandon Laurino was talking about orbital cannons that can shoot EVE ships...then he said that this would have to be built, transported and defended.

CCP said they have 5 years of content already planned and another 20 years of ideas.

It is dead right to say that DUST is a niche game though, it'll never be CoD (thank goodness!).

Yeah, I think this is actually a good thing for Dust. I'd much rather have a moderately sized tight-knit community than a large one that isn't heavily invested in the game/community. With the way the game works, it's better anyway as corp and individual reputation matters a lot more.

Nothing like standing at the bottom of a ladder and killing the 3 guys trying to climb up it

Haha I love those moments. I love camping at an objective with my mass driver and giving newly spawned foes an explosive welcome. But the ladder is the best because they are helpless and fucked. How are you finding the game my fellow kiwi?

[siftinglurker88]

Yea I've been enjoying it ay. Slowly getting the hang of things now. Snipers piss me off haha

[DeadCrow]

Welcome! I'll get you access to our other corp subforum tomorrow. Was fun playing last night.

Did the game get a graphics update? seems like it...or maybe its just me.

A few months ago when the Chromosome build launched, the graphics improved significantly. They are gonna get an injection of HOLY FUCK in April too. Apparently it is going to be a very significant upgrade.
