Legion on PC needed to happen. I'm sure y'all know that the reason why PS4 isnt backwards compatible is because of the difference between CELL and x86 architecture. Games can't easily be ported over and DUST would most likely to have needed a complete fresh start to move over to PS4 anyway. I'm cool with that.
As many have said, the messaging was a complete disaster and it was the approach taken at FF that has left a seriously bitter taste in my mouth for a number of reasons.
First of all they spoke of 'exclusive hands on with the next major evolution of DUST 514' in their FF release in the wake of the biggest content patch since Uprising and this was just COMPLETELY misleading. It's kind of disappointing that 1.8 turned out to be more of a swansong than a new chapter in DUST#s development.
Then they announce Legion in the DUST 514 keynote just for PC and then end it. Enough has been said about the 'Rouge wedding' (which I feel is apt). Logibro concedes that there were some problems with the messaging of the keynote but it wasn't rectified by JC in CCP Presents. The message that was missing was one of respect and consideration to those who have stuck by you and supported the game financially and especially the content makers who have invested their own time and energy into building up a culture.
You know what would have been nice? Legion announced as DUST reboot first on PC then on PS4 (it's clealry going to happen despite the non-committal statements of starting off on PC first etc) so why not just come out and say "on PC first, then PS4" instead of rollin' all up into a console keynote and announcing Legion for the PC and then bouncing.
Additionally, things like the recent promotion in tandem with SP events seems really underhanded, despite CCP's assertions that our 'investment' will be transferred. That's all very nice if I buy a PC to play legion before you guys get around to porting it to PS4 but doesn't really do much for me. A week ago i was nerding out at my Minmatar skill training progression now I hardly want to log in. It will take some concrete info about exactly how my investment will be transferred over before I even start to get motivated to log in.
Anyway **** it, I'm just babbling the same **** everyone else has over the past few days, it's done. I'm glad Legion is happening, I just hate the way it went down at FF.
