Out of all of those games, do you really expect people to see Dust 514 with no adverts?
Now, use your brain for this one, what happens with a new console, with only 5-10 games?
People get bored from those and then what?
Oh wait, look at that, a free to play shooter on the PS4...
I am getting kind of bored from Killzone Shadow Fall and Blacklight, let me see this...
Hmm... This game sounds interesting...
And there you have it, a new Dust 514 player.
Also, PS4 sold a million units on day one, Dust at best has 30k active players that login daily.
Now would be the perfect time to release Dust 514 on the PS4, where exposure would be the highest.
Note:
No, I'm not pushing for a PS4 version, I'm just debunking the idea that because there are 80 million PS3's the game will do here better than on the PS4. But do we want exposure for a game that still has many persisting issues?
Granted I am a Dust fan, but it is better than the F2P offering currently available on PS4

You, me, and various others call this "marketing logic", and we all know CCP could make a killing off of the PS4 once everyone gets bored with the lack of early good exclusives; I would have made that my time to strike if I were CCP. Instead, they want to keep supporting this console which will phase out in a couple years (or sooner). It's CCP's prerogative to use their course of action... Just as it is mine to buy a PS4 immediately when one is in stock at a close retailer (missed one at launch, now I'll just play Dust until one is available to buy, which won't be long).
I don't understand why it has to be a choice of PS3 or PS4, it should be on both right now with a slow phase out of the PS3. I'm sure that is what Sony is going to do with DCUO |

I'm sure that is what Sony is going to do with DCUO I'm guessing you've never coded anything before... When CCP starts developing on two different platforms of two different generations using 2 different versions of the Unreal engine, changes, finding and fixing bugs, balancing etc. is going to take at least 4x longer than it does today. It is going to be a MAJOR project getting both versions of the game going simultaneously on both platforms. I want DUST to be in decent shape when this happens because it's going to be 1000x harder if the game still has so many glaring issues.
You are right I haven't, thanks for explaining. I get it then, Sony could do it because they are a giant company and CCP can't because they are a much smaller company. Makes sense. |
