Re: SmedBlog: eSports Support


As posted previously, I think the EvE method would truly be able to shine here in PS2.

It would in essence be a very small fraction of what the game is about, much like it is just a sliver of EvE. But it would be quick, entertaining, and challenging.

Rewards could range from station cash, to custom skins, guns, vehicles, etc for the winning team.

It's tough to compress what is essentially an impossibly vast and deep gaming experience into something presentable as an e-sport, but I don't think showing 500 v 500 battles which rage for hours is conducive to entertaining a viewer base. At least not live.

That said, condensing an 8 hour battle into an edited segment with nice camera pans, and quality commentary lasting about an hour might be a solid way to show off the vast scale of the game, while at the same time actually progressing the action at a pace reasonable enough to watch in a single sitting.
