I might think about it but, after the way CCP has handled Dust and it's players, not only over the past couple days, but over the course of it's entire development, it's going to be a VERY tough sell for me.
First and foremost, I don't like being lied to. I don't hold grudges, but I don't forget that kind of thing easily, either. I'll have to wait and see how I feel about them when the time comes, and decide then if I'm in a place where I'm willing to give them another chance.
Secondly, CCP is going to have to clearly demonstrate that they've grown significantly as a company, are willing to treat their customers with respect, and be open and up-front with their plans and decisions. Nothing less than FULL transparency will do.
Third, they'll need to show me that they've learned something from DUST, are capable of actually delivering on their "vision" (and not just bits and pieces of it, with the rest maybe filled in and possibly fixed in the future), and able, as developers, to properly code a AAA shooter. Basically I don't want to see a repeat of Dust on a new platform, I want them to deliver on their promises this time.
Fourth, it'll need to be on the PS4 (and please, spare me the whole PC vs Console debate, I've heard it all before and I don't care. You will not convice me to play on a PC because there are no reasons, it's just personal preference that I'd rather game on a console. Some people like Pepsi, I prefer Coke. End of discussion).
And, finally, I'll be reserving final judgement until I've seen the final, release-ready version of the game. What was shown when Dust was just a prototype concept was significantly different from what we finally got when it was released. Don't think for one second that Legion will be any different. What was shown at fanfest was a marketing tool, specifically tailored to look as appealing as possible, and many things can and will change during the course of development. What we've seen so far in no way represents the finished, playable product.
IF they do ALL that, MAYBE I'll think about it.
But, on the other hand, by that time there will probably be many many other quality AAA titles to occupy my limited gaming time, from experienced, proven developers who haven't screwed me around, so... |
