Though Eve itself is firmly based in Iceland, Dust 514, which is set in Eve's universe, is developed by CCP's new Shanghai studio. A MMOG shooter, Dust's battlefields are absolutely tied to Eve, with Eve players' corporations hiring Dust players to fight for control of planets for them.
In other words, instead of the matchmaking being handled by heartless servers, Dust 514's action will be defined by Eve's players. And who better to try such a fascinating experiment than CCP? It is the developer which, in Eve, produced the most fascinating MMOG culture in the world.
We also travel to Scotland to play Realtime Worlds' own experiment in online FPS multiplayer, APB, and Ruffian Games' Crackdown 2. Also among the features is an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto in which we talk about his typical day at the office and how he created New Super Mario Bros Wii so that any Wii Fit player can feel right at home in it, and report on Nottingham's Gamecity event.
