If you seriously expect them to work on two, possibly three engines at once, I want your pills.
They seem to be good ****.
Sadly I don't think the PS4 is even up to it. Besides, if Dust is already on the Unreal Engine (at least an early version of it) then it can easily be later ported over to one of the later versions which doesn't have as much problems as its predecessors. This also means easier transfer of old data to the new engine so that none of us can suffer a character wipe.

The thing about that is that CCPs version of the unreal engine is heavily modified meaning that it probably wont be ported to unreal 4 because it would take too much time and resources to do so. Instead they'll probably add some of the better features/fixes from unreal 4 to their modified engine. @ OP Do you realize how hard it is to port a game from one engine to another? You pretty much have to throw away 80% of the work you've done on the older engine to port it to the new one which I doubt CCP will do a second time.
It can't be that hard to port over to the newer version. It's Unreal Engine for crying out loud. It's not like we're switching from Windows to OSX or Linux here.

It is possible to make cross-play happen, but it would be a technical nightmare to make it happen on different engines.
You are more likely going to see graphical upgrades on the PS4 version using the same engine with a better frame rate.
Very likely. There is also the PS3 limitations to consider. The PS4 does offer better hardware than the PS3 which means that the UE3 might be able to function better and be more stable on the PS4.
