Why would CCP want to release dust on the ps4 so soon when it might take about 3 years to fix it with newer models, does anyone see the irony here?

Further more I can't see games that take 5 hours to complete and a month to get bored of really doing anything but temporarily reducing active player counts.

I'm beggining to want dust on the PC, player base is much better and developing the game would be quicker I believe.

I have been playing GTA V for over 30 hours now, ( not straight) and still only have @ 30% completed of the main story. Just so many other things to see and do other than just run through the main story.
Also MP will be out shortly and then also DLC so yeah I do not see myself spending any time on DUST what so ever for at least the next two months if not more.

Even if I do come back it may be for 1 or 2 hours once a week just to hang out with some of the guys but other than that, meh.

You are right this POS game should just go to the PC, it has no real business being on a console it just can't keep up with the real AAA's and the AAA crowd.

I don't think I've ever seen someone so proud of not playing a game and yet spends countless hours on said game's forums.

Best part of the game is these LOL forums.
Even better is I can take these forums any where I go, got love technology!

30hours huh? I call bullshit, I beat gta5 last week Friday night with everything all missions complete minus the alien ship parts
The game is short as **** the only reason it seemed big is because of the map

As someone who defiantly stays a generation behind on consoles, I'd like to know: is CCP planning, at some point, to discontinue PS3 Dust in favor of PS4/PC Dust, or have they committed to at least backwards compatibility?

Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 4064	Posted - 2013.09.22 18:02:00 - [4] - Quote There hasn't been a definitive answer, but the prevailing expectation is for PS3 to be supported until a large majority of the playerbase have upgraded to next-gen. CCP have a reputation for phasing out only a tiny percentage of their playerbase's hardware capabilities when they stop supporting old hardware in EVE Online. I doubt they'll wait for quite the same adoption levels on console, but I'd be surprised if they expect us to all be upgraded in less than 18 months.

DootDoot Forty-Nine Fedayeen Minmatar Republic 78	Posted - 2013.09.22 18:27:00 - [6] - Quote Read up on CCP's history... EVE have multi-platformed for their game since almost its launch... they where running on direct x 9 10 and 11, and three different operating system's They don't have a problem multi platforming a game... CCP is probably one of the few that have done it successfully.... I don't see them having a problem multi-platforming into the PS4 and phasing the PS3 out after a while of the PS4 being on the market...

That is their fault for releasing this on PS3. They should have waited and read the console market better than they did.
low genius the sound of freedom Renegade Alliance 438	Posted - 2013.09.22 21:00:00 - [9] - Quote no, but i'd almost guarantee there's a 5 year contract in place. if dust rolls over to the ps4, it will be running on both consoles simultaneously on both the unreal engine and the carbon engine at the same time. that will be some next level gaming.
Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 8712	Posted - 2013.09.22 21:01:00 - [10] - Quote If Eve online is any indicator they will continue to support the PS3 (thus stay at PS3 limiters) until its no longer financially feasible. Case in point http://izlin.free.fr/eve/ships/raven_3.jpg was able to run on computers from 1998 http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/026/1/8/Caldari_Raven_SPEC_by_VanKaiser.jpg this level of graphics melts computers from 1998-2004? I think our current specs calls for computers about 2006 nowish.

Kiiran-B The Rainbow Effect 178	Posted - 2013.09.23 01:07:00 - [11] - Quote If they don't, dust will be officially dead. I think it would be amazing on next gen/PC.

Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 4266	Posted - 2013.09.23 01:20:00 - [13] - Quote We don't know exactly, but after watching Fanfest 2013, it seems like they will only maintain the PS3 as long as the game doesn't reach the level of system requirements that can render PS3s useless. Considering that graphics updates will be the norm throughout every year, I doubt I would see Dust on the PS3 any longer than 5 years from now.

Vin Vicious Capital Acquisitions LLC Public Disorder. 513	Posted - 2013.09.23 02:49:00 - [17] - Quote As a console game that would be a bad idea, I imagine a year after the release of ps4 dust514 will have an active member base in the hundreds CCP needs to realize how fickle console gamers, GTA5s release is a good indicator, 300-500 avg active players lost and maybe 25-50% will return and it isn't even in the same genre as dust. Then you have ghost and bf4 soon along with destiny then shortly after ps4. it's gunna get real dark around here shortly. Dusts only chance is a re-release ps4

Dust. give it 6-9 months so that people can be done with those games and looking for something to pass time, Dust (not the forums, forums are for tear collection) has always been something I've used just to have some fun on the side, Half of the corp is on GTA V and the other half is moving towards Diablo III later this year. and then making the transition to PS4 probably from the PS4's release to summer 2014.

And every scrub would be throwing money at hacking sites inside of 5 minutes, reason i came to console shooters, no hackers that clip through a wall while simultaniuosly placing 4 headshots, murdering your entire team. Then walking away laughing his *ss off, about how he pwned joo...

I mess around before I even complete it. I am now up to 40 hours and I am still only at 40%. BTW I call BS on you Vin Vicious at beating every mission including all the side missions. But hey if that is all you wanted to do is beat the main mission then more power to ya.
