Until CCP has the green light for development and shows us more toward beta version of Legion we just won't know it graphically capabilities. Like you said they could change their minds midway through the project. I'd imagine they used Unreal 3 to demonstrate the idea of Legion before deciding which software product to use for the project.
Truth Behind U3 is that its pretty darn good engine but what keeps Dust from being graphically impressive is the PS3 architecture , its very difficult to work with. Many games on PS3 had various trouble working with it architecture and because of it had very difficult time reaching it full potential. |

For example Street fighter 4 is on Xbox360 and PS3 but there is truly no difference between the two products. But if you get the update patch for one of those two products that changes the gaming variable than its different but still the same game. But the Arguments comes down to If one product has everything while the other is missing pieces why play the less quality based version? Essentially if one product is identical but superior is all respects than how is it not the same game?
That depends on what you mean by superior, if the difference is graphics only then yes I would agree its the same regardless of platform but when you start talking about features and content I dont think its the same game at all To use Street Fighter as an example again vanilla SF4 and the upcoming Ultra SF4 might be essentially the same thing but vary a great deal in terms of content and gameplay so much so that its an entirely different game despite being nearly identical at a casual glance
I dont know, maybe its because Ive been playing fighting games for years where reusing assets and such is very common but each game is its own distinct thing even if only separated by a year such as the KOF series even if they play near identically
I think I rambled a bit but what Im getting at is balance tweaks and content changes will make Legion is own entirely separate game from Dust despite reusing assets and it has nothing to do with what console its on
But I dont know why Adam is even arguing the point that its just a PC port when the Devs themselves have stated that its a new game |

Compare it with Street figher 4 without updates of balance patches or new content with a Street fighter 4 with new content.
For example Street fighter 4 vs Street fighter 4 Ultra. Two same games with two differences. See my point now? |

Edit: just to clarify, these are my supporting arguments for Adam of Eve's arguments. So basically I can understand why people would say its two different games. |

For example, having a player market integrated with EVE is one reason WHY they chose to move to PC, so that they can actually do it. They wanted to do it all on PS3 and couldn't. Now they're moving to PC so that they can actually fulfill their promises regarding what the game was supposed to be and you all are calling them liers. Doesn't add up. They're giving you everything they committed to and more, but because it's not exactly the way you want it you're throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
Oh Lolz. You obviously do not get it.
Simply put - a lot of DUST players cannot/will not buy a pc.
Legion is for PC.
So what happens to the players who cannot/will not buy pc? I'll let you figure that out. |

After all, if it weren't for our support and feedback over the past two years, there probably wouldn't even be an Eve: Legion coming to the PC for you guys to play at all.

Again, if a person bought Aurum to purchase in-game items they are paying customers. Free game or not, the Aurum was not free. You can remove yourself from the pedestal now.
Did CCP take away your Aurum? Did they close down the Dust servers? Did anyone force you to waste money on a promise of things to come? Did you seriously expect CCP to keep developing for the PS3 for ten years? It has been known for a long time that the game would migrate to a new platform (or be closed down), and lo and behold - it just did.
And yeah, I get it, CCP are effin' useless when it comes to keeping promises. Anyone who's paid any attention to how they roll would know that, and I'm sorry that you guys had to learn this the hard way. The fanfest keynote was a real **** move.
I think the right thing for CCP to do would be to refund any Aurum purchase the last month that hasn't already been lost on the battlefield. That will of course never happen, since they just took a huge hit to their finances after cancelling WoD. Their hedge fund investors probably want some returns.
But - A promise, a roadmap, a list of "things we want to do" is not a written contract.

It has been known for a long time that the game would migrate to a new platform (or be closed down), and lo and behold - it just did. Did they take away Aurum? Effectively, for some people, yes they did. People bought their Aurum based on a promise for a PS4 version which has since been stated not to be in the works at the moment. In some cases, the person already owns the PS4 they were planning to play on, and doesn't have an up-to-date PC or the money (or the desire) to buy one.

Ive spent the evening reading through this wonderful thread, and fall firmly into the unhappy console camp. These are dark days indeed!
I'm not going to try to add any points of my own, they have been said much more deeply and eloquently than I ever could (I'm looking specifically at you, Blacknova, you clever devil) but I would like to thank all of the posters for a very entertaining read.
props even go to the OP -most of you may not like him, but you gotta admit hes fighting his corner and taking on all comers!
Still a CCP lapdog though

Quote:Did CCP take away your Aurum? Did they close down the Dust servers? Well not yet, they just stopped adding new content. They confirmed this. Fixes don't count. They sold Dust as an MMO, ending the development of new content is the swan song of any MMO. Bet they wouldn't do that EVE players without notice, not if they expected these people to buy another game from them ever again. But we are just stupid console players, they think they don't have to show us that courtesy.
Quote:Did anyone force you to waste money on a promise of things to come? They didn't force me to, they misled me on purpose because they believed I wouldn't pay if I knew that Dust was dying.
Quote: Did you seriously expect CCP to keep developing for the PS3 for ten years? Nope. I never read anything about the "ten year plan", I wish I had, it would have struck me as highly suspicious. The most confusing thing about all this is how they thought they could get away with that lie. Clearly they never meant 10 years of support on the ps3, but oopsy-daisy! they forgot to clear that up with fans, and coincidentally profited from it.

my biggest problem is the no pve part... they really need to add that to ps3 regardless as well as that other stuff..
though pve should be the bigger priority.
it can be difficult to work within limitations of a system sometimes. but if u play eve on an old out dated computer or any game really. the game really isnt that good. cause its highest settings are impossible to run. as well as the fact that all computers will eventually become super slow.
consoles just only seem to become obsolete the second the next version comes out. and since companies seem to be doing away with backwards compatibility and such theres plenty of reason to keep a ps3 and continue playing it. a game like dust 514 which should always be getting new lore content added to the game and updated and maintenance should be a game that keeps ppl coming back. no matter what.and should continue to keep getting new players.
mlt vets are eternal. they shall be the bane to proto scrubs everywhere...
dust 514 shall be eternal.

Quote:It has been known for a long time that the game would migrate to a new platform Link please. As far back as closed beta, they had been talking about the 10 year plan and it specifically included a move to some form of next-gen platform at a point where such a move was reasonable to make, but anything past the next year or so was pretty short on the "planning" side of things. It was never so much a "plan" as a promise that the game would still be around that far into the future, using EVE's 10-year history as evidence that they could do it. They ALSO used EVE's past history of phasing out support for older systems while adding new content to confirm that the game WASN'T going to be held back and locked into PS3 forever, because MOVING ON WAS PART OF THE PLAN.
Most people didn't question the 10 year plan, because it was never a 10 years on PS3 plan.
The immediate problem where they "didn't clear things up" was that they had announced they were CURRENTLY "laser focused on PS3" and explicitly stated they had big things coming for DUST and that 1.8 and even 1.9 wouldn't be the end for DUST, as well as having Sony show DUST 514 promotional material as part of their PS4 presentation, stating that the game would be eventually coming to PS4. When they decided to reverse that course of action, they not only avoided telling anyone, but effectively muzzled the few who did know (CPM + NDA = ???). Because of their decision to keep quiet, their Aurum sales during the period where they've been working on Legion are pretty harshly smeared with the taint of false advertising and misleading conduct, partiularly given the fact that statements were made by company reps that were outright lies about the direction being taken by the dev team. On top of that, they hadn't just been selling Aurum, but they had special event sales with rare items and discounts on things to encourage people to effectively throw money away based on STILL FRESH promises that had already been gone back on without telling the customers. |

CCP has way more interaction with it's players than other game developers, and of course that interaction is mostly about where the game is going, changes, balancing, etc. And then there's Fanfest and twitter and all that. So there's a lot of communication that builds up expectations. Most other game companies just leave their players in the dark until the product is ready. Heck, most don't even have a concept of community feedback being part of the development process. Sometimes CCP has to change course and it's jarring to the community, but that better than having been treated like total consumers with no input the whole time. |
