Will EVE Online become like a ghost town after the launch of Elite: Dangerous and Star Citizen?

    Interesting...

    Our thoughts seem to have come from very different origins, yet they reached the same conclusion ! image

    I think for a while they may be a lesser number of players on EVE, you know every guy loves to take a look at the new guy tools, but after a while they will go back to EVE

    No. THe two new games have more in common with Halo than a real mmorpg.

    I VERY seriously doubt it.

    They are both more flight simulators then they are spreadsheet simulator and despite what some people think there is an appeal to a highly deep number crunching game, just not to all people

    Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

    No. While I hope either of those are great games. I doubt they will do anything to EVE.

    "If" ED and SC actually launch, and "If" they are actually good MMORPG's that are fun to play, with solid game mechanics and support, then they might have a chance to thrive and proper in this overcrowded market.

    Like some other EVE players, I'll probably give one of them a try , but I'm not into action combat, I actually like EVE's style, so I'm more likely to stay with EVE regardless. 

    There will likely be many things about EVE that will never be replicated by any other game, MMO's are like that, a unique combination of their parts that is hard to recreate, so I think in the long run EVE will do fine.

    Those of us who play EVE also play other games from time to time, but at the end of the day, many of us keep coming back.

    So while there may be a dip in the sub numbers, EVE will continue to roll on .  In fact, if ED or SC tank for some reason, EVE may capture a portion of their fleeing client base much like it die from SWG when it collapsed.

    I have to agree, mostly.

     

    EVE will lose some of those that prefer the more twitchy combat, but it may gain new players that are initially drawn to Elite and SC, but who'd actually prefer more strategic gameplay.

    Eve focuses on being a "fun" spreadsheet. I don't see why I would switch if I liked EVE.

    Elite is a very different game from EVE. There are some EVE players who have been playing it, but I doubt you will see subscriber numbers drop off in EVE because of it's release.

    different games genres

    EVE is sandbox MMORPG focused on players interactions, EVE is not game about space ships SC & Elite are space sims SP+MP games ,space ships shooters

    I am waiting for Elite Dangerous  MP ,but what ever  they make ,that game cant replace EVE

    Why do people keep asking this question ?

    Did LOL kill wow ? they're both fantasy games. Is there some reason two unrelated space games couldn't coexist ?
