I have to agree, mobile cant compete with 7.1 surround, hd, 3d or 72inch screens, not to mention controls, Im not saying it wont be there, but it wont dominate, oh and lets not forget gaming chairs with beer....
If ccp went to ps4 wouldnt that cut the player base up? I mean the guy on the ps3 cant play onlline with the guy with the ps4 correct? That seems as good of a reason as any to wait considering player totals.

That's maybe the most ironic statement I've seen yet. It's not uncommon to hear industry insiders already speculating that this might be the last generation of consoles as we currently understand them. Heck, Microsoft's own board of directors have been slowly pushing the company to ditch the xbox entirely.

Developers have already made it clear that their preferred platforms are PC and Mobile gaming. The pure output of critically acclaimed titles released on PC has dwarfed those released on consoles for half a decade now. Where we see on average somewhere in the range of 5-10 exclusives per console with a metacritic score at 75 or above, there are 45-50 PC exclusives each year with a 75 or above rating. Furthermore, more people currently game on mobile devices than own consoles.

I'm not by any means a "hater" of consoles, as I've already pointed out, I'm here discussing a game on a console from 8 years ago. I play my PS3 multiple times a week. However, my own gaming habits don't change the facts as they stand. Consoles have had the penetration rate they've had due to the casual gaming market, and that market is trending to spending their money more and more often on tablet devices. As those devices reach parity with the PS4 in the next 3-5 years, Sony will either have to release a new more powerful PS5, or see a further loss of marketshare and an even less interest from game developers than they already have.

So again, if we're talking about what makes the most sense for a game that has a supposed "10 year plan," would you really think that spending the next 1-2 years porting the game to a system that will most likely be antiquated in 5 or so years really make the most sense? That means in another 4-6 years towards their 10 year plan they will AGAIN have to port the game over to yet another system, that will yet again have to gain an install base.

To me, that just doesn't make sense. I'm not saying PS4 isn't a decent platform for the short term vision of a company looking to make a one-shot title in the next 2-4 years, but any point past that and the PS4 is going to start looking similar to how the PS3 and Xbox 360 are looking now.

._. How is that bad news? They most likely are going to keep this game on ps3 for the next 2-4 years. And then move it over when it needs to be. Besides, that's LONGER than the ps2 lasted...MUCH longer. Even though the ps4 would be better for the game hardware wise; they wouldn't move it over instantly because of that, and that just gives me all the more reason to wait a while before I get a ps4. I won't be buying one unless it has DUST on it. ._.

Not sure who you're talking about, everyone here obviously plays at least one videogame on PS3. Personally, I'm simply talking about what makes the most sense for a videogame with a supposed "10 year plan." Look, the PS3 is barely going to make it 10 years before Sony drops support for it, and it started out as an alternative to HIGH END PCs, the PS4 is starting it's lifecycle as an alternative to LOW END PCs. In 5 years the PS4 will be further behind the leading edge of gaming technology than the PS3 is now.

You cannot emulate the console experience on a mobile device. Convenience is NEVER EVER going to become more appealing than the home theatre experience of playing a game on my 46" TV and surround sound system to me. Mobile gaming has a future, but it isn't THE future so long as there are people like me who don't want to **** around on a tablet for my gaming.

The leading edge is a $1100 video card that doesn't include the computer or monitor. No, a PS4 can't compete with a high end because if I choose to spend $3,500 on a gaming rig then it is going to be 10x faster than a console. I just paid $300 for a video card that will blow a PS out of the water. Each type of game machine -phone, PC, handheld, console- all have an equally important niche to fill and they shouldn't be lumped into one big pile.

So if CCP is sticking to their guns of being "laser focused" on developing for the PS3,this game is most definitely doomed.Oh,and the whole "five year roadmap" is pretty much out the window as well.

CCP,it's PS4 or bust for this game,you have to know that,right?

Dust should have been a PC game, DUST 514 can still come to PC. The way I see it IF CCP really actually wants DUST to be a long term game like EVE was then the PC really is the only platform for that.

I think CCP were conned or got greedy and thought they could break into the console shooter market. That has obviously not gone well for them.

I mean come on I would guess 1/3 to 1/2 of the players that play dust regularly are people that outright bought a PS3 mainly because of dust. Those of us that were EVE players. The other half are probably old MAG vets that heard that DUST would offer something similar to MAG.

So again, If CCP really wants this game to last many years then PC is the only way forwards , that's unless they have been developing for the PS4 in secret but I highly doubt that.

*compressed*

Doesn't mean much.

PES 2014

2-4 years of of support from SONY, the console is not going to stop working in 2-4 years. CCP can support the game for years after that if the want to. The PS3 is still the best place for DUST, if we ported over to PS4 right now it would probably kill DUST for good. Any steam box or enyo isn't going to hurt PS much, Xboxone isn't up to par and I don't think they will be going to PC so we are here and are probably going to stay here for the next 2-3 years.
