Ha everyones willing to give Dust the benifit of the doubt and wait years for Dust ask your self where will PS2 be in a few years? Still ahead of Dust with actually fixed problems.

PLanetside has had SCOUTS since 2003 and they could go CLOAK/Invisible like Predator Which is yet ANOTHER idea which CCP is tring hard to RIP off the Planetside DEVS, infact SCOUTS are ALOT more fun to play in PLANETSIDE

Planetside 2 feels like **** to play, nothing you do has and consequence because of the sheer scale of it, there is no where near the customization and leveling in PS2, PS2 has no sense of loss when you die and it is ridiculously P2W.

people on consoles have a need to advance or get something good quite often to keep them hooked. cod,bf,even dust plays to this but with ps2 on the ps4 a lot of people are going to be in for a shock. its so hard to advance and compete its beyond a joke

you think leaving the academy and meeting a proto squad is bad. wait till you join ps2 and run into a 100 strong p2w crowd stomping across the map and your there struggling to even upgrade your basic weapons and armor. it will happen. i have never seen a game so heavily p2w orientated

Aye, just careful with the word "dying" cause no one here can say dust is KEEPING any one. It's LOSING players as well.

Dust as a FPS has competition from all fps not just ps2. and on the PC it gets worse. PC being home to FPS. Dust can't even compete right now with unreal tournament 3 and how old is that game?

I really don't understand anyone taking either side of this debate,as both games are terribly flawed in their own ways.

Planetside 2 is a beautiful game to look at,if you can afford a $1200(if not more) gaming rig to play it on it's highest settings.And since it's not on PS4 yet,the $400 price point isn't an option yet.

Also,if anyone doesn't think this game isn't one of the biggest grinds known to mankind,and that it's totally pay to win,they are fooling themselves.

Dust's only crutch at this point is potential,but again,since they are "laser focused" on developing for now outdated hardware,if this game doesn't get a PS4 treatment soon,this game is dead in the water.This game will NEVER have all of the assets that CCP has been promising for the past 2+ years on the PS3,and if they keep down this 10 year roadmap plan on PS3,there's no way this game will survive.Hell,depending on how well PS4 sells,Sony won't even have the PS3 servers running 10 years from now.

Both these games will be an afterthought this time next year without major improvements,something that Dust has more room to make,but will it be too late?The only hope either of these games have in the future is if Destiny,The Division,and Titanfall ALL suck(along with other next gen games,but those are probably the three big heavy hitters for this crowd).Titanfall is first out of the stable,and will be a HUGE foretelling of the future of both of these games.

The level of ignorance from DUST FANBOYZ is beyond me
Seems that most people here tring to put down Planetside 2 is Because of :
1. They NEVER had a High END GAMING PC to ENJOY it at High Res and GOOD FPS.
2. They may have had the High END PC BUT NEVER Joined an ACTIVE and GOOD Corp, so they have no idea whatsoever how FUN PS2 is compared to the MAJORITY of FPS Games.
3. They Don't have the PS4 and R BUTT HURT cause they won't get to play PS2 on the PS4 in ULTRA GRAPHICS - Yes that is one step up from what the PC version offers without editing an in game file.
4. They Probably believe PS2 is P2W when it isn't and even if there is a level grind it is NOTHING Compared to the grind and Unbalanced crap we have here in DUST.
5. Alot don't realise that it will be as Updated as the PC version, therefore Optimised on the PS4 due to the fact that the PS4 is the same for everyone, there are no HARDWARE Conflicts cause everyone has the same PS4, so even here there will be less problems.
6. It will have a Higher player count than DUST and i'm sure more than the PC version due to the fact every PS4 is the same and Sony can focus easier on making the game Better on the PS4 due to the fact that it will not have Hardware Conflicts , whereas on PC , people had different CPUs, Graphics Cards, RAM, Mainboards etc....

But then again I guess most of the Negative Comments towards Planetside 2 on the PS4 are probably from people which never played Planetside 1 for more than a year and haven't played PS2 after the recent Optimisations made.

Planetside 2 is a more polished game. More polished to look at, more polished to play. Fun. Dust is arguably more ambitious and has a greater depth. The fun isn't really there yet though.

Anyway, the biggest threat to Dust is not planetside 2. The big threat to Dust and EVE is Star Citizen. That game is being built from the ground up with the aim to integrate a space MMO RPG with future FPS-based planetary combat. I think we should be discussing that a little bit more. SC looks amazing BTW.

Peace mercs.

Did you even watch EVE Vegas(which was months after Fanfest0? They clearly stated when asked about the move to PS4 that they were "laser focused" on developing on PS3.

Now my position is that if CCP is smart,the entire PS3 experience has been a beta FOR the PS4,otherwise,since day one of development,they have underestimated every single aspect of making the game.They would also be very stupid to not have the foresight when development started to realize that they were developing for an outdated console.If the latter is the case,which I sincerely hope it isn't,is that CCP is,and has been over their heads,and don't ever expect this game to be the game that they promised.

At this point,with CCP's track record,you can't "expect" anything unless otherwise stated.

My initial expectation was that yes,it would eventually end up on PS4,but let's says that it's not ready for another 2-3 years until the move,it might be too late by then as interest in the game will be gone,and the potential to attract new players will be low.

Also,you never know what Sony's actual intentions will be that far down the road.Maybe they might just say,no to CCP's move,do to the fact that the game can't sustain a playerbase higher than a few thousand people online at any given time.Mind you,this is the same company that shut down Zipper after MAG sold over 1 million copies and are shutting all of their gaming servers down at the end of this month due to low playercount.Maybe they will look at CCP the same way and ask themselves why would they bother on a niche shooter that's not contributing any revenue(remember,if it's free to play,you won't need PS+).
