Quote:Chris Butcher has provided some details regarding the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the cross-generation video game, GÇ£Destiny.GÇ¥ According to a report from WorldGÇÖs Factory on Jan. 7, the technical director at Bungie believed that the current-generation consoles still give the development plenty of GÇ£headroom,GÇ¥ adding that the engine has been their GÇ£most optimizedGÇ¥ yet. As a result, both systems are being pushed to the limits.

CCP is a lot of things, But one thing they have successfully done in their decade of running is multi-platform their game. I could see DUST coming to a next gen console, But if it does? there is going to be some sort of multi-platform concept to keep the PS3 users in the loop for another probably year.
Regardless there is well over 80 million active PS3's worldwide. There is roughly 4-5 million PS4's even in user hands, There is such a small market on the next generation right now the only reason you would go there is for brand power and establishment, and that would be a giant waste of capital at this point. |

The PS3 is simply not capable of such things. Right now Dust is simply an over complicated version battlefield. Not really because the developers WANT to have preset games, but rather because the PS3 just would not be able to handle having more than 32 players on a district at once, with 12 vehicles, each player and vehicle having unique values that each playstation has to handle. The Playstation's memory just cannot handle it. As well all know the PS3 can barely handle the game as it is, nevermind trying to set in more complicated aspects such as PvE, open world, and god forbid, 64v player games, which is what we all want and kinda promised, but I'm sure CCP just didn't know the limitations of the PS3 when they set out such ideas.
Of course I wouldn't say drop support now, but in a few years, when the PS4 version comes out, and in another year or two, cut the losses, and just drop the PS3 like the dead weight it is to this game.
The PS3 isn't really capable of what we want of this game, and most people know. No its not true, take a look on games like mirrors edge, starhawk, or AC. Ps3 can do that, only CCP is not quite good with its possibilities and with optimizations. And with players?! MAG HAD 256 PLAYERS ON ONE MAP REALTIME. BTW PL2 on Ps4 making DUST already obsolete. Planetside 2 is a trash heap. Take it from someone who played it all the way through from the Tech Test and was heartbroken to watch them just let it rot.
But Planetside 2 started development about the same time as DUST. |

Some thought BF4, anyone who played the beta however knew DICE had no attention on BF4 whatsoever.... Its all on battlefront.
GTA online did kill DUST populations massively. And was one of the rare game titles that actually broke peoples fixation with DUST and allowed them to move on. It's taken DUST 3 months to gain back the consistent population numbers it was pulling then. and this is a community kinda already on life support. |

LOL or maybe because folks got a PS4 and don't have crap to play on it. The only people that think the system isn't capable of handling it don't no crap about the PS3's tech. You do know it was once used as a supercomputer?
All you PS4 beta testers will have to wait. Also, I like to look at things realistically- Knowing the community, and from what I saw in some other games, the 64v64 battles that players seem to want would result in at least 100 dumbasses trying to fight over the same small area in a huge map at once, who would then complain about frame rate problems.
The graduates of the battle academy. CCP should be so proud. |
