Being that BF4, COD, Blacklight and Killzone are coming in 85 days on PS4, by the time Planetside 2 comes in December, will Dust have any players left? If so will Planetside 2 take the rest of the player base to Auraxis?
Question being.......Will PS2 on PS4 be the absolute death blow to CCP's MMOFPS, Dust514? |

Probably not. Two different markets (PS4 owners and PS3 owners) so...No. Then you have some who aren't even moving to PS4 (Me, PC Master Race) So no, it won't be the death of it, but the population will slowly dwindle as the PS4/XB1becomes more and more affordable to some, and the holidays roll around, so more people get it and so on, and so forth. |

It's not going to.be an over night thing. It will probably die out slowly, persistently and quietly. Though, not for at least a few months. |

Planetside 2 would have to not be horrible for that to happen. Odds are better that Dust will lose players to some random visual novel.
If Dust players really wanted to play Planetside 2, they can already do it... RIGHT NOW. The fact they don't says it all. It's like asking if Dust will lose players to World of Warcraft. |

CCP is gonna have to release some magical updates if they want to retain what little playerbase they have left. Then again, at least there won't be so many whiners clogging up the forums.
Dust will probably keep chugging along. Maybe more players will return after they get bored of their fancy new games and CCP turns Dust into something worth coming back to.
I'll still be here, ginding my cap each week and playing PC. PS2, BF4, and Destiny aren't all that interesting to me. I'll play them a bit but not like I play Dust. I think the only game that might fully replace Dust for me will be Star Citizen but that's a few years off. |

PS2 on PS4 could ruin Dust but I've seen PS4's horrible latency issues in PC gameplay. If those issues occur on the PS4 then I don't know how many players will play PS2 for long. Some of those youtube vids demonstrating PS2's lag are pretty extreme. I don't know that I've seen worse. |

This. Lol Planetside 2 doesn't even get as much hype as Dust 514 gets around the web. Of course a lot of this comes from the fact that it's connected to New Eden and shares some of the harsh world's qualities, without even being legit connected, it's still better off. |

Oh you fanbois say the darndest stuff.
How many people have a beefed up pc ($1200) to run PS2 at its max settings? Not many.
How many will have a ps4 with ps2 maxed out for only $400! Oh yes $400 for what takes at least $800 pc to run max settings. So yes the reason PS2 is not that populated at this time on certain servers is because its 8 months old and not many have the $$ to upgrade there pc when ps4 comes in 85 days.
So oh yes the PS2 on PS4 will definitaly be the fatal blow.

A lot of the is also a bunch of bad reviews. In my facebook gaming group we essentially had a bash session of games none of us enjoyed. DUST was the 4th game we bashed. |

True but the reviews don't matter. The players would've still played another F2P game and stayed there if they wanted to but they didn't. |

It baffles me that there is actually a person that plays DUST for 10 minutes turns off his playstation, turns his j!zz crusted laptop on, post on the forums for a bit about PS2, gets ban, then does it all Again. JUST SO HE CAN POST ABOUT PS2 ON A DIFFERENT GAMES FORUM.

Wow, only 5 to 6 thousand a day? That's pretty much the mark of a failed game, with servers only populated by the few fanboys who remain. Wait are we still talking about Planetside 2, or dust here? |

You don't have to be a Dust "fanboi" to think Planetside 2 is crap. I can think Dust is lacking and name all sorts of other games that are also crappy. I'd wager there are more people with PCs than can run Planetside 2 than there will be people with PS4s anytime this year.
Also, people buy game consoles for exclusives, etc. There's little to no reason to buy one at launch when the line-up is horrible. You know what has more traction? A PC? That's part of why they cost more - they can do more.
Besides, you don't need a PC that can run PS2 at max setting to play PS2 - that's downright idiotic. Do you seriously think everytime a new game comes out that pushes the performance limits on PCs that people ditch their current rig and buy all new stuff? No, they run it with a few sliders unmaxed. It's like... logic or something. Being able to play a glossy version of PS2 in the fall won't change the fact the game is shite anymore than if Dust showed up on the PS4 at launch.
The only "fanboi" is the guy who bothers to repeatedly troll the board of another game with mentions of a game anyone could already play if they wanted to. You might as well be the Runescape bomber for all the sense it makes. |

I don't think that site is accurate. I just clicked on the Eve Online option to add as comparison and it shows a number less than 2000 online in any given day. I know that number is incorrect because of this...

Well I don't know how much Planet Side 2 will diminish Dust's population but I'm interested to see what happens when the PS4 is launched. |

I'm not trolling. Both DUST and PS2's numbers are...Less than stellar. Hell, I think they're the exact same. At least PS2 is getting a population spike once it goes F2P on PS4. DUST isn't even hitting PS4 anytime soon. |

Don't use that site man. It's not accurate. click the damn eve online tab and find out. Click some of the other games tabs.
either way.. like or hate it PS2 will get a spike when it comes to ps4. dust will still be on ps3. and one of those games has gotten panned by almost every review, while the other has gotten praise. |
