When I think of large-scale, methodical PC MMORPGs the last thing that comes to my mind is being able to link up to a console-based first-person shooter. Clearly, the hard working folks atCCP Gamesthought otherwise.

Dust 514is the interestingEVE Onlinespin-off project from CCP Games, with it’s focus set on fast paced, first-person shooter action and large scale battles.

I have never been into first-person shooters that much, say for the occasional late night session ofLeft 4 DeadorBattlefield 3with some friends, but CCP Games does have a very interesting concept inDust 514. It will be interesting to see what else might come out of this cross-genre/cross-platform digital symbiosis.
