    Sorry I am struggling to understand this...how can you compare a game about Pirates on a ship and flying a spaceship in space.....Is it cos both have Pirates and the word ship in them....Most perflexing You can't say a game is going to 'kill' another game if the gameplay isn't even similar
  • AbhinandaAbhinanda Member Posts: 56
    I'd say it's pretty similar... the gameplay in Eve and PotBS looks very similar basically with different scenery.. Only PotBS will have character battle aswell.. But Eve is integrating that too.... There is a reason it's called "Ships" and "Pirates" in Eve....

    Eve = Science Fiction

    Pirates = Non-fiction (pirates really existed).



    Simple as....

    Pirates still exist.

    Also... I hope the PvP system is more than the "orbit and click" system in EVE. Surely POTBS will require some skill greater than setting an orbiting distance for my guns to fire at?

    Phos-

    Of course it will in PotBS you not only have to worry about your enemy but you have to stay with the wind, adds a bit more of a twist.  So its just not hit orbit and circle your enemy, you also have to try to "cross the T" which is vital in ship to ship combat.  There was none of that in EvE just because of the setting of space and what not.

    That's talking fiction/setting and not gameplay... Eve and PotBS is very much working the same crowd, both for hardcore players using upgradeable vessels with a player-driven economy. End of discussion :P if you don't think PotBS and Eve are similar games (atleast from what is known about the two) you'r either ignorant or just plain stupid.

    Yes true, EvE and PotBS are similar in many ways. However, the character combat is gonna rock. I know EvE designers are working on a similar system but I rather play real pirates than flying pirates. Besides, the PvP in PotBS will require more skill than PvP in EvE. I have the hope PotBS PvP will be Skill makes the player (Besides gear of course) and not like a way lower lvl guy than you with uber gear can rape you in 2 seconds. Skills are required as far as a I know cuz of the wind, ship to ship and then man to man combat.

    This game is 100% ownage.

    PotBS > EvE so far.

    I think the game you're thinking of is Infinity

    I don't play EvE but they don't look anything alike, I don't think the people that play eve are going to be highly interested in this game, unless the pvp is as good or better.

    Also no mmos kill another mmo, sure they can take alot of players but those players would of left anyway at somepoint. eve onlines been out since 2002 i believe, so like i said if this game adds comparable or better pvp maybe it will take the players that have had enough of that setting and want to try something new, but still pvp based.

     

    But it won't "kill" eve, no mmo dies ( points at UO), untill the devs shut down the servers

    Although soem game mechanica might be the same, comparing these two games doesn't make much sense. The setting is different and that alone will appeal to a different crowd.



    In Potbs you have Avatars, something which still has the implement and even then they will not be as Omnipresent as in EvE.



    Ist like comparing Star Trek and Star Wars. Same setting(Sci.Fi) but totally different backround, story, idea behind it etc.



    Your gonna those that like Potbs and those that prefer EvE. That doens't make one game "kill" the other.

    Only reason why this person posts is because he is an eve troll.He/she appearantly hates the game so much that every post he made so far is all about how bad eve is.Got your ship blown up , then podded and afterwards scammed on the market when you wanted to buy a replacement?Get a life...go sit with the SWG vets if the only thing you want is bash a game .

  • VexeVexe Member Posts: 549
    Welllll, this argument in the first place doesn't make much sense. It's just turned into everyone bashing other games. EVE combat can get intense with large groups of people and things that involve strategy (like a disruptor of some shape or form). Unfortunately this comes later so most people give up on it early. The game itself is not about combat and people should respect that. PotBS looks to be NOTHING like this at all. In fact the only similarity I can see is that they both use "ships". PotBS combat is more intense all the time because you control where you ship moves with the WASD controls. This allows for tighter steering and all that good stuff. Also, it in cludes strategy because of the wind and how you have to broad-side them to hit. Let people like what they like and stop insulting other games. To each his own.

    Sorry doesn't matter what any of you think really...... Wow won't go down anytime soon the only game that will destroy wow will be WARHAMMER ONLINE!
  • AutemOxAutemOx Member Posts: 1,704
    EVE has some really serious death consequences while PotBS will not, and PotBS has port capturing.  I think those two things will be the major difference between them.

    In addition to that the ports will reset after x-amount of time.In eve a player controlled area will stay that way till someone else takes it over.

    i have been playign eve for a while now,(1.5 years orso) and have been following ptbs for a long while to, and must say you cant really compare the 2. the use of country for example limit pvp greatly.  but hey dream on dude.

    There are still Pirates out there. Sure they got AK47 now and Speedboats but they are still Pirates "lol".
