Blog Banter 75 - What Does Project Nova Need to Be Successful?

Welcome to the continuing monthly EVE Blog Banters and our 75th edition! For more details about what the blog banters are please visit the Blog Banter page.

What Does Project Nova Need to Be Successful?
At Fanfest CCP showcased their current iteration of the FPS set in the Eve Universe. Following on from DUST514 and Project Legion, Project Nova is shaping up to be a solid FPS with CCP taking the decision to get the game mechanics right first. However with so many FPS out there what will Nova need in order to stand out from a very large crowd and be successful? What are the opportunities and perhaps more importantly, the dangers for CCP? How can Nova compete against CoD, Battlefront and Titanfall to name a few?

    Well, first you would have to come up with a definition for "successful". Is it going to do Call of Duty numbers? No. Not even possible. The best they can hope for is to be successful in their niche. Possibly do decent. And for that, they need to get the basic mechanics down. Nothing ruins an FPS like shitty mechanics.

      I think it is up to those writing the post to define success. If you want to write something about how CCP challenges COD, more power to you. My own goals will be more modest.

    Crap, there was a typo in the title... had to revert it to a draft and repost it. Here is the article again:

    I've written up some thoughts on Project Nova for my first entry in the Blog Banter series. CCP have some interesting design challenges ahead of them.
