no MAG because of player base fragmentation created by the expansion zipper release for the game dividing those who brought all maps and game modes and those who buy some of those maps and modes and those who didn't buy any. since those can't interact with other thus the game suffer a slow death. that combine with Zipper moving on into socom since they did have plan to support MAG for more than 2 years eventually kill the game. bottom line Zipper made mag as game. once they done with they move to the next project and not as platform where they laser focus for the next 5 to 10 years

Seems like they saw MAG as another quick crash grab, exactly like any other company making fps games every couple of years.

So, let me understand what you're saying. The PS3 runs one some titles better than the 360. OK. The PS3 is very old and outdated by now, which is part of the reason that CCP is moving on to the PC - a platform that never gets old and dies.

Maybe they could have gotten more out of the PS3 than they did, but probably not much. Besides that, it has been for a while, a process of diminishing returns with the PS3 getting older and even less relevant. As an admittedly bad analogy, you can probably get more out of pre-80's carburetors too, but at some point it made more sense to move to fuel injection because there was more overhead for innovation. I believe the same is true here regarding the PC vs PS3.

edit for laughable typos.

Sounds oddly familiar.. almost like the exact mold CCP is following in.

Listen, Mag, a game 2-3 years older than Dust was able to do more with the PS3 using much less mature development tools.

We know the PS3 can handle 128 v 128 (so why couldn't CCP do just freaking 24 v 24).

We know the PS3 can handle much bigger and more detailed maps with trees.

We know the PS3 can do both of those things while suffering less performance problems than CCP managed with Dust.

The problem wasn't the PS3, the problem is developing a game in china.

Installed "Bioshock Infinite" following the FanFest debacle.
Impressed to say the least.
The PS3 is quite the capable little device.

Isn't Destiny going to run on the PS3?
Why isn't it restricted to PS4?

Holy crap that is an amazing point... freaking Destiny, a game that just sh-ts all over Dust in ever department, is coming to the PS3.

LOL, check and mate.

I'll be surprised if it is an open world MMO-FPS on the ps4 and xbox one as Bungie has said. If it's also an open world MMO-FPS on the ps3 and xbox 360 I'll be shocked. But it's really not good to defend the ps3s capabilities with Destiny a supposed open world MMO-FPS that hasn't been released yet and won't be for another 4 month.

Streaming? What's that? All I know is greedy ISPs that throttle me down for using their rivals network services instead of theirs. I'd be lucky to play a 720p video without having to pause 3 seconds before hand.

Dust's problem development wise wise they didn't know how to optimize for the cell. The cell has six different processors and each processor controls six different functions. For instance there is one for artificial intelligence one for texture is one for rendering and so on and so forth this allows for module arity and loose coupling when programming. The cell is actually more advanced than almost any other processor out there. However if you do not have the experience working with it you will make a completely buggy game like dust. So the argument about the ps3 not being capable is complete BS. Because it was manufactured to be a processor that takes object orientated programming to the next level. As was seen in the orange hearted series which I believe are the only games to actually harness the Cell processor to its fullest capabilities. CCP should have just recreated the carbon engine to work for the Cell processor I do understand that creating an engine or altering an engine is a long process. I do hope they use the carbon engine for legion even though I will not be playing it

Well I have been doing it using MAG, BF3, hell even GTA V has more technically impressive multiplier than CCP's effort. Sh-t in Sh-t out I guess.

Dust has something that none of those other games have, something that adds a f*ck ton of overhead - items, thousands of them.

Think about it, a unique selection of thousands of different items arranged in one of millions of configurations that affect your suit, one of hundreds, in slightly different ways depending on your exact configuration of skill points. All that stuff needs to be tracked, stored in memory and applied during battles - no other console game comes close in that respect.

Also something to think about Titanfal is out on the xbox 360. I forget if the 360 was better technically than the ps3 but they are very similar.
So a game with online play 8v8 matches great graphics and parkour like there is no tommorow is totally possible on the 360.
So this was not done with dust because CCP created dust is really the reason.

Excuse me, sir. Why are you bumping?
