The out-of-gate reception will curse this brand forever and upcoming next-gen consoles will further weaken the already small playerebase. It's clear that CCP has struggled immensely in making good use of the PS3's limited capabilities. It is far too late for this game to recover in its current position.

Start over on the PS4. Use the extra resources available to completely overhaul the gameplay. Rebrand the game and showcase it as a completely new experience (think FF14: A Realm Reborn). Run the beta alongside the current PS3 version for around 6-12 months. Once it's all set and done and people have had enough time to transition, go gold and cut the life-support on the PS3 version permanently.

Thank you! I was beginning to worry that the community won't fill the weekly quota of repeated threads.

Seriously, I'm appalled at that "receive good press". Only young immature gamers are so infused with what the press thinks about a game. Who gives a flux?

I'm having a good time...this isn't Final Fantasy. This isn't your average game with an average run of the mill developer.

It's clear that if you were so good at these ideas that you would somehow be involved within the gaming industry. Since you're not, please be quiet. You don't know what the hell you're talking about.

Focus from here until the PS4 release should be on fixing the game and fixing the brand. Once you've revived good press and have given Dust a second chance at life, then you can rake in the $$$.

Less than 4k online at peak and only decreasing.

Yes, I agree a fresh start on the PS4 would be the best option, but since a PS4 version hasn't been confirmed yet I would say we're looking at spring 2014 for a PS4 version at the earliest.

No they don't. Smart people don't buy first gen tech. And the transitional period is at least a year. Plus the tech has to be realized fully. So that means next gen won't be all next gen until the following year.

Go figure.

sony is not likely to shut the ps3 network down not for a long time and the ps4 is running on the same network so while production of ps3 will probably stop i think they will leave both systems up for a long time why kill the income. but dust cannot be meant for the ps3 the ps3 couldn't support a 100 perfect dust 514 it would burn up

And on what information is it that you assume 3000+ people playing a day is bad?

Do you have just as hard numbers for COD or Battlefield? If not, then SFTU and stop assuming that the 'low' player count is a bad thing.

MAG, a game which a part of this forum describes as a failure, had way more players at peak. Also MAG only showed people actually either in battle or waiting in que, and not people just sitting in a party outside a match etc. The Suppression gamemode also didn't show player numbers either, so there could be x amount of players in there as well.

So basically current peak numbers for Dust are terribad.

Despite all its flaws Dust is still my favorite shooter even if i have to take 2 patches of retirement it will still be my main goto fps game, why ?

Because there is nothing else like it, everything else is the same sh*t reharshed into new shiney **** with your 100 levels to redo. then in a year they will bring out a "new" version and you can again redo your 100 levels and so on and on.

The best part is that on PS3 there are no Hackers.
