DUST Search - Is work on our ps4 port still being put off?

Baal Omniscient wrote:

Would just like a simple yes or no. I ask because:

1. Because the number of titles available on the ps4 (both free-to-play and buy-to-play) are extremely low and though the new games coming out that we know of look interesting, almost none of them really look like they will require a significant time investment.

2. Because Dust will need to port over eventually if it has any hope of surviving another 3 years.

3. Because everyone I know (myself included) has a hard time convincing themselves to switch back to the slow, clunky ps3 to play a free-to-play game full of bugs and imbalances and playing Dust would be a much easier choice if it were on a more user friendly system.

4. Because spies and AWOXers would have a new tool at their disposal with the party chat function.

5. Because everyone who plays on the ps4 would have no excuse not to have a headset since it comes with one in the box.

6. Because by this time next year (about a year and a half after the ps4's release) the majority of Dust players will likely either have their ps4's or be getting it soon.

8. Because, even though I don't want to admit it, Planetside 2 is going to maul the part of our playerbase who has a ps4 once it hits and having Dust on the ps4 would give it a better chance of still being played. (I mean, would you rather play a persistent massive-scale warfare game that is mostly balanced with amazing graphics and proven quality? Or would you rather switch back to your slow old ps3 just to play an laggy imbalanced lobby shooter with mediocre graphics and most of it's potential coming..... SoonGäó?)

I really dont think CCP would benefit from porting yet. Let them finish the game (its still beta) and ask this question again in a year

Not asking if it will be ported soon. MAG ~ Raven

In other words, because of their contract with the PSN, they cannot tell you, because they do not know themselves. If you can read this, it means you are reading. Unless you are skimming

Roy Ventus Axis of Chaos 1210	Posted - 2014.03.03 21:37:00 - [8] - Quote Meh. They won't work on it until they see it as acceptable for switch over, I'm guessing. I'd give it 2015 before Dust actually becomes worthy of the port. The start of 2016 at the latest because I'm confident(lol) enough in CCP to get core mechanics working by then. I'm just hoping we get it done now rather than later. What else we need to do after 1.8? All racial vehicles, PC redux, marketplace release, PVE and then working on PC's integration with PI and once we hit that, it'll be ready for port imo. Also, Planetside 2 would end up just being something to tide gamers over. You can do the same stuff in Dust, essentially with a much more expansive world and everything doesn't feel like a constant repeat. Further down the line, Dust and PS2 will seem like two very different games. "There once was a time when there wasn't a Roy Ventus and it wasn't much of a time at all." Roy Ventus

Not to mention it will take them quite a while to port over all the assets into high polygon models with eye-bleeding graphics... I'd say 2-3 is a perfect time frame, by then the game will be mature (or dead)... and the PS4 (or whatever other platform they port to) will have a sizeable population...

Agreed 100%. The new games coming should worry CCP. Metal gear ground zeroes will start it off, then PS2, Destiny, Watch dogs, and lord knows what else. I know as I watched a gameplay trailer for PS2 today, I feel it's pull increasing. That game is like what Dust should be. Once I get in the habit and have a reason to fire up my PS4 more often, my PS3 will be gathering more and more dust (no pun intended).
