EVE Shooter Plans? [2:40 pm ET] – Share – 18 Comments
Eurogamer has a couple of reports from
the EVE Online Fanfest,
one with
details on the next expansion for CCP's MMORPG, saying the next expansion
after Tuesday's Quantum Rise add-on will be launched on March 10,
2009. They also
outline hints CCP has laid out for plans for a shooter based on the EVE universe.
They describe a showing of footage of a "Halo-style" shooter set on an
"Earth-like planet." They also report EVE referencing their console aspirations,
though it's not clear if the shooter game is part of this console strategy. The
report concludes stressing that CCP is focused on expanding EVE Online, so this
shooter project is still a ways off.
Stargate: La Releve BF2 Mod [2:40 pm ET] – Share – 4 Comments
The Stargate: La Relève
Website now offers the release of the Stargate: La Releve modification for
Battlefield 2. The proceedings on that website are in French, however,
which I'm told is not uncommon in France, so there's no cause for alarm. A
Babel Fish translation can help
those of us who don't parlez, and there's a brief summary of the project on
Planet
Battlefield. In short, this is a teamplay modification based on the Stargate
movie that pits US military forces against alien-augmented ancient Egyptians.
Thanks Ant.
