DUST was always meant to outlast the PS3.

It was meant to go next-gen in some form, PC, PS4, whatever.

Why do we need a new game instead of a new build for DUST that moves to PC with all the new content as had always been the plan. It's perfectly reasonable for people to be arguing that Legion isn't a new game because all you're doing is what DUST was meant to be doing in the first place, except that you're telling us it's not DUST.

The only difference between creating Legion and creating a new build of DUST on PC is that there's no continuation of the support the PS3 version should be getting as we move forward, and no solid assurance that our progress in DUST will be retained properly. New content - at least in limited capacity - should be coming to DUST on PS3, and Legion should be taking that content and using it in different ways because it's a very major change from how DUST currently works. NOT a major change from how DUST works, because it should still be DUST.

Nobody is saying that a new build for DUST can't be made from the ground up, which is what Legion is doing. Nobody who's being rational about things is saying that the majority of focus should still be on the PS3 version of the game. Limited support for the PS3 client, but STILL SOME PROGRESS

I don't understand why this is being promoted as NOT being what it really should be.

Legal reasons...

Legal reasons like all the false advertising and misleading conduct claims they're facing now.

I can see that worked out really well for them...

My understanding is that Dust514 is a Playstation exclusive, meaning it can't go to PC at all. If I am right, this is why the new game has a new name. It could have been moved to PS4, however, I think the CCP realized it's strengths are really for designing PC games, not console games (at least for the present).

That is a very good point. Didn't consider that angle, so thank you for bringing that up. :)

Also Dust 514 is somewhat of a weak title imo that just further serves to not welcome newer players into the universe.

Hmmm did they ever disclose the meaning of 514 ?

Or, you know, wanting to escape the crap reviews Dust has received.
