Didn't kill it,but those games chipped away at Dust a little,and slowly but surely,without the move to PS4,there will be MAG in it's final days numbers on Dust.That's around five hundred players online.
While I don't think Metal Gear V will be the killer,let's just look at what's on the horizon to keep gamers buys this year.
First out of the gate is Titanfall.I personally don't think a hell of a lot of this game,but it might pull 100 or so players away for a while.
Next is Thief, MGS V,and iNFamous Second Son.Personally,I will have my PS4 for those games.While not FPS,they offer the first real next gen games that gamers are looking for.
So after that,you have Watchdogs,and Planetside 2.I've played PS2 on PC,and couldn't really get into it,but there are quite a few people here that are pretty much ready to dump Dust for it.I say at that point,we will be seeing maybe 2000~2500 regular players,which is about 1000 players down from where we are now.
End of summer,imo,is where things come to a head with the release of Destiny.While PS2 has the potential to be a staggering blow to Dust,Destiny could very well be the knock out blow.We could see playercount down to around 1500.
Other games that haven't had release dates announced like The Division,Wolfenstein,Deep Down,Elder's Scrolls Online,this is more evidence that Dust is facing a major uphill battle in the coming year.

But I would really like to see an actual change in dust's development before a ps4 port is done. Mainly because before it's done dust might not have any players on it by that time. To quote Fast and the Furious "What is this going to run on? Hopes and Dreams?"
+1
People need to understand that moving Dust to the PS4 can only make the game better,as the devs will have a better,more powerful machine to work with.
I'm sick of poor draw distances and rendering,horrid texture pop in,terrain glitches,and **** poor framerate.These are all issues that would be resolved if the game was on PS4. |

Then ill miss dust and probably becoming a knife wielding rapist. So please CCP just port it already, do it for the kids.  ... Why would yoou toss your PS3 away for a PS4? Also: You know MGSV will be released for PS3 too? Quote:People need to understand that moving Dust to the PS4 can only make the game better,as the devs will have a better,more powerful machine to work with. People need to understand that won't happen. For the simple reason that the game must still be able to run on the PS3. Also people need to understand that the Unreal Engine 3 can look way better than Dust 514. Even on PS3. I mean seriouly: Is Dust 514 the onl game you play on PS3?!
It's not about how it looks,rather how it runs.Visual fidelity is one thing,but visual optimization is another.The things I pointed out are more towards the game running better than looking better.
Unfortunately,I think that you are right that the game won't be moving to PS4,at least no time in the near future. |

PS3 has sold Over 80 Million Units With 4,332 Games Released and that's without the last holiday season figures...
I wish people would stop saying this.That 80 million is "sold in" figures,which means that Sony has sold 80 million consoles to retailers,but 80 million people don't have a PS3.Also add to the fact that a percentage of people have bought multiple consoles.
This is also my problem with CCP's thinking when they were talking at EVE Vegas.The main guy was saying that since there are 80 million PS3's sold,that they didn't need to focus on moving that game to the PS4.Well,just because there have been 80 millioin consoles sold from Sony to retailers,well,I think the proof is in the pudding considering that we can't even get 5000 people online at once,let alone have never cracked 10k players online ever. |
