Just wondering, since both of those are completely possible.
The PC version is the focus, but it sounds very much like CCP wants to create console versions if it turns out to be feasible. It's harder to port a PC game to consoles than the other way around (due to input control limitations) so the chances for this may not be spectacular, but given sufficient demand, I'm sure that CCP will look at this option very thoroughly.
As for char transfers, I do believe that they would love to do it, but it's going to be challenging since our accounts are all bound to PSN. At the very least though, I expect that CCP will find some way to reimburse and/or appease DUST mercs, otherwise they are not going to hear to end of this.
Don't get me wrong, dropping the news like that without having a satisfying answer to these two points is madness, and I don't understand how anybody at CCP could not have seen this reaction coming. Asking players to just stick with the product while it's essentially dead in the water, with no clear migration plans, is really too much to ask for.
I am just wondering how you all would feel about this development if CCP could present those answers.
My personal opinion is that it's probably the right plan. A couple of days ago, after trying to get back into the game again, I finally decided that I'm not going to put up with this, because frankly the game runs like shite on the PS3 (and also due to the lack of improvements over the last couple of releases, of course now I know why that is...). So for me, nothing much is lost and I'm mildly curious what will happen with Legion if/when it is released in a few years. The major mistakes CCP made in my eyes are the failed plan for DUST to begin with (arguably it started falling apart when the original engine had to be scrapped for UE), and of course the absolutely atrocious and insensitive handling of these news at fanfest so far.
I also hope that CCP will make Legion available for early beta testing ASAP, so that whoever is going to be left of the DUST playerbase is not going to be dead in the water for too long. Nobody is going to be fooled into thinking that DUST on PS3 still has a future after today's events. |

I will only play Legion if it comes with a character transfer from DUST.
Otherwise, I'll just play games from companies that don't bait and switch their players.

They told me big Dust 514 news would be on the agenda for Fanfest.
We got Legion news with nothing for Dust.
They can **** off at this rate. I have plenty of games to work on, and with Destiny filling this void, and awesome other games (Batman Arkham Knight, The Order 1886, Watch Dogs, etc) I'm not to worried. Only negative is a good majority of my gaming buddies don't have PS4s yet.

Sure, I'd play it, if everything I have on this character transfers and they show promise in it, otherwise I wouldn't. I don't like being Jew'd out of my monies. Nobody does.

I think the reason that most are mad or upset is because the only information we've gotten regarding a char transfer(the only valuable thing about dust, your merc) is that it is impossible for some strange reason.
If they'd mentioned anything about dust characters and the future of dust with legion then everyone would be a lot less worried.
HELL I'm just annoyed that they literally said NOTHING about the future of Dust other than well, it doesn't have one.

If Legion had character transfer and PS4 version I would have no problems whatsoever.
In it's current state though, I can't play it.
May or may not be not the guy you might be thinking of.

Legion is NOT a product yet. There is nothing to beta test yet. Hell, there's nothing to Alpha test yet. From what was said during fanfest, Legion has likely had LESS development done to it that Valkyrie has so far. |

They mentioned technical and "policy" issues, so I assume that it will depend on them working something out with Sony. They might require special permission, if not even technical support from Sony to transfer all account data to their own systems.
Of course that should have been worked out earlier (perhaps before DUST was even released on PS3), but that's how I understand it now. |

Character transfer is nott important to me.
Keeping the game on a Sony console is.
If we got it on the PS4, I would go to it.
Well not now, after 2 years of CCP I am quite fed up.
- I still dont know why they couldnt simply ported Dust to the PS4 and kept up the development of it.
FU and FU Dust community, you're mostly a bunch of moronic carebear crybabies. Get good.

CCP used up all of its political capital today.
I would never expect anything from them again; show me the stuff before I invest a dollar or an hour in their new game.

No I wouldn't be, but how can there be a character transfer when they confirmed Dust will continue on and get it's own separate updates?

I'd rather have the character transfer over anything else. That's what's most important to me. Even if it's just a name and SP.

If character progression moved on to PS4, what happened today would simply be an example of a PR snafu and a terrible roll out for the next iteration of the Dust 514 vision. I was hoping for an announcement of such and thought going PC and PS4 at the sametime would be the wise move. I know we have PC guys that wouldn't want to buy a PS4 for Dust but would play it on pC and I know we have some console guys who are only waiting for a Dust port to buy their PS4s.
Some of the most troubling comments came after the keynote, switching all of what we have asked for like PvE and more sandbox less lobby shooter is going only to the PC character progression yet to be determined and everyone else gets stuck with the Beta version we have now. That's ****** up.

That should be the least of the problems really. Even if DUST keeps running past the release of Legion (which I highly doubt... player numbers are going to crumble from now on, and they weren't great to begin with), they could always just give players the option to move a character over. |

Yes it's clear that DUST is all but canceled, but Legion can still happen on PS4. I imagine though that this time they want to wait until they actually have a successful product before they put resources into console ports. It's going to be easier to gauge success and demand with the PC version. |

To answer the question, yes, I would be quite satisfied if Dust was moved to the PS4, rebuilt and rebranded as Legion, and we had character transfer. I even suggested that very f*cking thing in several threads months ago.
Here's the problem with your question. It's such a simple answer that if CCP actually wanted to or planned to do it, they would have said that like 3 hours ago and calmed this whoie sh!tstorm down in an instant.
BUT THEY HAVEN'T.

Yeah, I mean it's not like any other companies ever release sequels / successors to previous games with no way to transfer progress to the new version...
Honestly, the worst thing about legion is the new progression system (seriously, how is this not getting complained about - for example, in its proposed form you will have to skill deeply into the logi skill tree just to use a mass driver at all, regardless of what class you play. WTF!?)
There will be some form of transfer from Dust to Legion - however a simple 1:1 transfer is not possible to due Legion's changes to items and progression.
There will in all likelihood be PS4 and / or XBONE versions either released concurrently or shortly after the PC version - the newest generation of consoles make it (relatively) easy to port games to and from PC, CCP is just starting with the more flexible platform first. Which while annoying for someone who generally hates playing FPS games on a PC, is probably the smartest way to go about it.
Additionally, Dust is not dead yet - many assets and systems developed for Legion will probably make their way into Dust. However, yes, odds are none of the bIg ticket items will make it.
That all being said, the way it was all announced was, in a word, awful. At the very least the keynote should have included reassurances that your progress in Dust will in some way, shape, or form make it into Legion - as well as some more immediate planes form Dust. |
