Dust 514 will be based in the EVE Universe, and this will be the first time that EVE developer CCP Games has stepped beyond the PC.

Development appears to be coming along very nicely and we now have some more detail on the Infantry weapons that you can choose from.

So Far, Sony and CCP games have detailed three types of infantry weapons for Dust 514:

• Light Weapons;
• Heavy Weapons; and
• Sidearms.

Within these categories CCP is aiming to take the visual effects to a new level, while 'retaining' some of the more recognizable aspects of FPS weapons (read: the Guns look like futuristic versions of modern day weapons).

Below is a shot of the Amarr CAR-9 Scrambler Pistol, one of the side arms from the Amarr race.

You can see more of the weapon shots over at the Playstation Blog.

Why this should is impress you is because of the extra level of design detail that is being conducted in Dust 514 (if you have played EVE Online you will be familiar with this).

An excerpt of the specifications of the Amarr CAR-9 Scrambler Pistol reads:

Designation: CAR-9
Variant: Standard
Length: 25cm
Weight (loaded): 1.8kg
Weight (unloaded): 1.7kg
Max. effective range: 40m
Ammunition: Energy fuel cell

You get the point here, right? Dust 514 is taking the parts of FPS that we love i.e. the shooting and killing, and weaving in the depth and detail that we have come to expect from an MMO such as EVE.

This is the first title for CCP Games since EVE released in 2003.

Dust 514 will be released sometime in 2012 on the PS3 and Playstation Vita (Spring is the schedule release window for now).
