Whoa, that sounds ambitious, but definitely awesome. If this actually goes through I might actually want to jump in on the EvE universe.
It's kind of confusing, though. If console players can participate in battles for planets, does that mean that PS3 and X360 players can battle against each other, and even as a team? It seems to be the only real option to make everything in the real-time universe run smoothly. But console limitations seem to make this idea go to shit. Another thing I'm wondering is that would you have to join a corporation? You're only a foot-soldier, after all.
Here's the European GamesCon 2009 Presentation:

Was that dropship what I think it was? Looked a lot like Pelican/Albatross/Hornet mashup.

The gameplay in the video looks real, but could it be pre-rendered?

Doesn't look like any of those. Only real resemblance is probably the Albatross cargo compartment.

The fact that it's an FPS/RTS isn't impressive at all, we've that since Battlezone in 1998, and I have yet to see someone do it as well as Activision did with that game (and Pandemic with its sequel). Everyone is trying to incorporate clunky control systems for the RTS portion and they always have it cut and dry between the FPS and RTS segments instead of seemlessly integrating them.
What does impress me about this is the integration into the PC MMO...that is cool.

So, if Im right (and Im probably not), this is like a MMORPG where you can control vehicles in a macro sort of control or be a soldier in the micro perspective. Sounds cool.

If that video is not pre-rendered then i am very interested in this as this is exactly the kind of thing i like.

So I could move my player about space on my pc, and I can move my player on a planet on the xbox 360
why not both on a single platform...I want both without having to switch :|
