Got into the closed beta today on the ps3. This game is gonna keep me busy for a while.

It's the EvE Online universe, from the ground point of view. What happens in the air, effects what is going on down on the planets and vice versa. Gonna be sweet.

Instead of choosing a class, like sniper, assault, etc.. you choose your load-out. Similar to a ships load-out on Eve Online. I haven't gotten to in depth with it yet, but it has the feeling of EvE, with all the upgrades, weapons, ammo, different races to choose from, only wrapped into and FPS.

For those of you with a ps3, get it, play it with me!

Vertices01 is my username.

I'm actually considering buying a PS3 for that game, but i'll wait to see if it takes off. I've always been a big fan of EVE online, played a few times too, but this is a huge gamble.

Been playing for an hour or so. It's like Battefield meets Halo, set in the eve universe, with sp, isk (eve currency), and a very extensive upgrade system.

So far so good.

What I've noticed so far:

Skills - After each battle, you earn skill points based on your k/d ratio, number of kills, area caps, etc etc. Like in Eve Online, there are skill books you can purchase from the in game market for pretty much anything pertaining to the game. A skill book for every weapon, grenade, vehicle, dropsuit, etc etc. Unlike Eve however, you don't set a skill to train and wait. You use your skill point for upgrades.

Market - The market is almost identical to Eve Online. Like sp, you earn isk after every battle based on your performance. Use this isk to purchase a mutlitude of upgrades, weapons, weapon add ons, etc etc..

Gameplay - Top notch (for a beta). A few of the guys behind the game are former Battlefield designers, so it definitely has the BF feel to it. It also has that Halo feeling being that it is set in the future. All in all the combat systems, that I have used at least, are done well. The weapons are unlike any I have used in other games. Im a member of the Gallente Race, and their focus is on blaster based weaponry. It's fun to launch a plasma rocket across the map and watch the explosions.

Maps - Not sure how many different maps there will be. The ones I have played so far are very different from each other. It is based on being on different planets through the Eve universe, so I'mm sure there will be many different maps for the full game.

I like it. It may not be a game for everyone, but if you have the ps3, and are a playstation plus member, the closed beta is free to join.

In game for the beta, it has a mock corporation you are working for. In the full game, corporations in eve will hire mercenaries (dust players), to help them take over planets for the resources. I'm not sure when our how this will all take place, but right now you can also just free lance and join any battle in progress to earn xp and isk.
