EVE Online-universe shooter DUST 514 is getting closer and closer to release, and beta reports are starting to surface in profusion. And what we’re hearing is – well, it’s either fascinating, deeply concerning for the game, or both. This ain’t your regular shooter – instead, it’s a kind of EVE-FPS hybrid.

Will it blaze a brave new trail, or burn down, fall over and sink into the swamp?

Jester explains why he won’t be playing DUST – “Yeahno. Not interested. I’m already playing one game where it takes a half-decade before I feel like I’m being successful.”Warp Drive Active gives us a very in-depth look at the game, coming out with some less than optimistic conclusions – “I have very little faith the game can and will be brought to a state that it needs to be in order to worth a long term investment of your time.”And Chris at Game By Night gives us a summary of his experience as a non-EVE Online player – “So what do we have?
