With 5km^2 maps, 50 vs 50 or more players
rest of racial suits rest of racial weapons rest of racial BLOODY VEHICLES Rest of vehicle frames (MAV, Heavy/light aircraft) In all races Rest of racial turrets (Laser and such)
And do all of this before 1. The game is dead 2. It would have been more successful investing time in PS4 before same deadline

i believe that CCP will get the majority of the racial content in so they can set dust up for a spectacular PS4 launch (well, relative to the ps3 one at least), i have a feeling that dust will probably last longer than most of us suspect.

Issue with that is how much of the work spent on PS3 may not translate to PS4 at all. Simply moving consoles, or moving to a new engine if/when the next Unreal comes out.
This might all be for naught? |

The PS3 has 3-4 years at least to go. In that amount of time they should be able to do those things except maybe the 50v50, I never bought into that. The other things yes. Now that they have a good bit of the tech stuff working much better and they have some experience with the PS3 architecture we may see some new stuff hit quickly.
I don't want to be a total fanboy but I do think that they can do it if given the time and money. They have been working on the core mechanics for a while and made huge leaps compared to a year ago. If they stay on the the same path then they should start to roll out monthly content releases instead of fixes.

You could design weapon stats and that data on paper in a week. And that should have been done 3 years ago. That's not really progress. |

That's not really progress. game balance is an ongoing affair, its never over, just cause the stats look good on paper doesn't mean that they're good in practice, the devs have to come up with the numbers then they have to test them, given the customisability of suits and the range of skills in dust i imagine that they have a fair few sets of numbers to run through and test before they can release a fix. end of the day CCP will go at their own pace and you're bitching won't change anything, so do us all a favor and stop making negative threads will you?

I'd argue against that.
Dust is innovative(even with the key points not being fully implemented or actually added in yet), has a while before it would be considered a loss, and despite "competition" the game hasn't been pulled away via competition but by it's own issues(not a good thing but says something).
I believe there's a lot that can happen between then and there but the game is looking a lot better compared to a few months ago. Oddly enough the 1.6 patch is one of the best(imo) out there and I believe even 1.7 will pale in comparison. |

I think DUST on PS3 has a couple years left; however I think the game's continued viability is dependent upon the balance that is still lacking. I think CCP can balance it, the question is, can they do it far enough in advance of the discontinued support for the PS3 in order to work on porting it to PS4. And will the delay in the port put it too far behind it's competition to keep it's current (too small) player base? If, BIG IF, the balance is completed, the port to PS4 takes place within 18 months, and most importantly, the community stays involved... I think CCP will introduce the long anticipated (dreaded), MONTHLY FEE...
At least that's what my incredibly inaccurate, and possibly non-magical, crystal ball says...it could be wrong..........it's happened before............................alot!

"Pull it off"?
It's over.
They've wasted too much time and they've screwed up immensely and repeatedly.
In release. Reviews are out. No one plays it apart from a few hardcore players if that.
PS4 coming in a couple of weeks with better games all free to play.
It's over.
I knew CCP had a lax attitude to development but the Eve team comes through when it counts.
But the way the Dust team has handled this game is almost criminally incompetent.
Still not even the BASIC set of suits, vehicles and weapons available.
Still no commander mode.
No chance of any other vehicles like fighters or mechs.
And don't even bother asking about boarding because it won't be coming for YEARS.
You've got better hope of them implementing the commander mode which would make this game a thousand times better than it is now (But they won't implement it even though it was the first thing they had ready).
I was convinced that the last six months of silence was because they were porting this to the PS4 which would atleast make it easier to program for and better hardware to cover the poor optimization.
But they've now admitted that over the last six months they've been doing little else but balancing... I mean it's absolutely crazy! |

Maybe, still might not be enough. Rest of the vehicles only counts if they keep vehicles at one chassis, then they might be able to get the other two lines out by next year this time.

Not at all, and don't even pretend. They can't do what they have now, more players is not going to happen on PS3 without a major performance hit, especially in PC. Maps are already way too big for what we have.
Let go of jets and bombers until CCP can get the ground game working.

CCP should just hop onto the PS4 since it'll be the easiest console to develop games on, they could work out the kinks much easier, same as new content! only problem will be porting it over to the PS4 itself they could switch to the carbon engine, but it could take forever to get all this on.
CCP could port this over to the PS4, but since its got such different framework it would be remaking the game!

Every major retailer has the PS4 sold out, at least in the U.S, this leads me to believe that the days of the PS3 are a lot shorter than what Sony or CCP expected. |

First two is a long shot, well cept the maps they're already 5kms x 5kms, the entire terrain is not utilized all at once. Anyone that broke the red zone in the beta know the maps are freakishly huge.
For the rest of the list... Ask CCP Santa he may sneak some gifts under the tree.

Eve is in its 10th year, and its not finished.
This is because its an evolving game.
Dust is the same.
The console will have to change eventually, but don't forget that EVE has survived a few periods where their graphics were too much for older computers to handle. People stayed, people left... but EVE is still going strong.
You cant finish this game, because if you do, it vanishes. Dust needs to continually evolve... or people, even the seriously hardcore ones, will leave.
The "Finish the game!" gripe does not apply to CCP's game concepts. Hence their greatness.
So, my answer is this. CCP will go to another console when it needs to, and get used to changes... they wont stop. |

To be honest one cannot take the usual investment over return discussion here as its CCP and they are frankly weird when it comes to projects.
Dust cannot fail - that is a given - CCP would be seen as a one trick pony forever and exciting new projects like EVE Valkwassit wouldnt get the backing they would if dust failed.
Dust has to be something that CCP keep alive if only for their own reputations sake, investors will only back companies that can produce returns and CCP obviously have done this with EVE. What remains to be seen is if they remain loyal to the PS3 - currently this strategy is filled with risk as frankly noone has any clue what will happen with the PS4 comes out.
Will huge numbers of people trade in their ps3 for the ps4? highly likely, will this mean dust loses people, yes but how many is the question.
What CCP should be focusing their mighty marketing team on is all the people who are going to buy that 2nd hand ps3 and getting them into dust - in terms of player numbers we shouldn't see a drop, rather a dip while people find Dust 514 who bought the 2nd hand ps3.
At least that is what i would do, could be a huge inrush of new players to AR stomp. |

It is actually very possible. If DUST makes it onto GAIKAI(All ps3 games will be on GAIKAI). Then hardware becomes arbitrary. Why? Because DUST514 will be streamed and GAIKAI will do all the hardware lifting, it will depend soley on your network connection. his means that CCP can develop DUST514 without bounds. Will GAIKAI be on Ps3 and PS4? It is definitely coming to PS4, but an app for PS3 is possible and very likely.

But the way the Dust team has handled this game is almost criminally incompetent.
Still not even the BASIC set of suits, vehicles and weapons available.
Still no commander mode.
No chance of any other vehicles like fighters or mechs.
And don't even bother asking about boarding because it won't be coming for YEARS.
You've got better hope of them implementing the commander mode which would make this game a thousand times better than it is now (But they won't implement it even though it was the first thing they had ready).
I was convinced that the last six months of silence was because they were porting this to the PS4 which would atleast make it easier to program for and better hardware to cover the poor optimization.
But they've now admitted that over the last six months they've been doing little else but balancing... I mean it's absolutely crazy!
No one ever said that about their other game that is still active and growing. The one that just turned 10.
They would be fools to move to the PS4 right away. You don't throw a 80 million strong potential player base away for an unproven console with low numbers. Let's say there is 20,000 active players in a pool of 80m consoles. That is a 0.00025 adoption rate. If the PS4 sold 10m the first day with the same adoption rate then it would add 2500 players. I'm being optimistic on the adoption rate and number of PS4s sold.
I have had little sleep so math may be wrong but the point still stands. If you have to choose which players to aim for would it be 80 million or 2 million? Think about it.

And do all of this before 1. The game is dead 2. It would have been more successful investing time in PS4 before same deadline
It is actually very possible.If DUST makes it onto GAIKAI(All ps3 games will be on GAIKAI). Then hardware becomes arbitrary. Why? Because DUST514 will be streamed and GAIKAI will do all the hardware lifting, it will depend soley on your network connection. his means that CCP can develop DUST514 without bounds. Will GAIKAI be on Ps3 and PS4? It is definitely coming to PS4, but an app for PS3 is possible and very likely.
I want to say that the latency would be too much. My house in Georgia to Giaki to London to Giaki to my house. Seems like a long time to travel.

They've wasted too much time and they've screwed up immensely and repeatedly.
In release. Reviews are out. No one plays it apart from a few hardcore players if that.
PS4 coming in a couple of weeks with better games all free to play.

80 million strong player base? What are you smoking?
Eve took about 5 years to get really good. And it was competing in a market where it was the only game of it's kind. Even then it took years and years to get good.
Not to mention it didn't start out as bad as this.
Dust is in a competing market but CCP still develop like there's is the only game around. That's why it's taken them so long to get anything done.
In eve they had time. Here they don't.
Also if you expect this game to be here at the end of next year let alone 10 years down the line then you're mad.
In addition shooters shouldn't take 10 years to get good.

Or it will crash and burn more spectacularly than you can possibly imagine xD |

All u have to do is ask yourself one question,,just one. If Dust 514 DOES carry over to ps4,,will u play it? If the answer is yes,is Dust then dying? The populace has developed a common phrase on this subject,," you'll b back" |

I think that they have this ability because they have enough money around that they could invest in this. Will they? Based on their track record I think they won't. based on their track record? the only other game they've ever been a part of is 10 years old and still growing.
I guess 2 years of Dust 'beta' does not count.
Eve still growing you say??? Have you checked simultaneous ppl logged in? I don't think it has upticked since 2010 but was steadily rolling down hill. Ppl keep their subscription out of boredom (hence the 'growth') and they keep it because they want to keep sp ticking on the off chance that they may get back to EVE eventually. This is not because EVE is such an amazing game it's because of the gimmicky passive xp system. So yeah.... if you measure success only by how much ppl are milking money out of something, it's solid.
You still want to discuss CCP's track record? |

Dust cannot fail - that is a given - CCP would be seen as a one trick pony forever and exciting new projects like EVE Valkwassit wouldnt get the backing they would if dust failed.
Dust has to be something that CCP keep alive if only for their own reputations sake, investors will only back companies that can produce returns and CCP obviously have done this with EVE. What remains to be seen is if they remain loyal to the PS3 - currently this strategy is filled with risk as frankly noone has any clue what will happen with the PS4 comes out.
Will huge numbers of people trade in their ps3 for the ps4? highly likely, will this mean dust loses people, yes but how many is the question.
What CCP should be focusing their mighty marketing team on is all the people who are going to buy that 2nd hand ps3 and getting them into dust - in terms of player numbers we shouldn't see a drop, rather a dip while people find Dust 514 who bought the 2nd hand ps3.
At least that is what i would do, could be a huge inrush of new players to AR stomp.
I doubt that there is much of a market for second hand PS3's. Most PS3's will probably go in a box in the grandma's attic. |

No. They'll have to port it over, and within the 1st year. I'm probably giving my Ps3 to Gamestop for my PS4 (unless it's not worth it. Hell, I could find a PS3 with a ****** up bluray drive, and buy that), so it doesn't matter to me. Oh well, I'll play Dust if I get the chance, and I'll be on the fourms..... oh wait, if that's the case, then I guess Godin's getting some free suits along with being able to skill right into PROTO vehicles and Scout suit (assuming they will be out by the time I got access to Dust again. Maybe a medium suit as well
'lights cigar' fuck with me, and I'll melt your face off. Gallente forever!
