Seriously, why can't you accept that Dust just can't ever meet it's potential while stuck on the PS3?
That would be fine if Legion was being advertised as a new build for DUST. But it isn't. It's a new game doing what DUST was meant to do.

DUST is trapped on dead end tech.
This move allows it to branch onto the PS4, faster, and with higher quality. It allows for a test server. It allows for CCP to develop on familiar ground.
Basically, quit being so butthurt.
DUST isn't "trapped" though. The plan was always to move DUST to a next-gen platform, and more recently that had been stated to be PS4, then without telling anyone about the change, CCP spent SEVERAL MONTHS developing it on PC instead.
How exactly is porting to PC then maybe, no promises, but it's possible they'll conside making a PS4 version of a game that isn't DUST going to get DUST onto PS4 faster than actually developing DUST for PS4 would? And regardless of whether they're moving to PC or PS4, how does NOT moving DUST forwards and advertising a new game that's going to be what DUST was always meant to be qualify as moving DUST forward?

It's been explicitly stated that it's a new game, not DUST. It's not a continuation of the same game until it's defined as such by the developers creating it. |

Officially, it's a new game that's taking over what DUST was meant to do, and some progress (no promises or commitments on how much) carrying over from the existing game. Many aspects of core gameplay are being changed coming into the new game, it's going to be have "sandbox" gameplay instead of the more directed "lobby shooter" experience provided by DUST.
Realistically, the promises being made for Legion aren't changes that were never meant to happen in DUST, they're just promising to rebuild in a way that actually supports the original plans. It SHOULD have been announced as the next major expansion, and there SHOULD have been plans to continue PROPER support for the existing build (including new content) while it's being developed, but instead, we're getting a lot of "no new content" and a lot of "maybe" and "I don't really know, but" and nothing solid. |
