Is Project Legion a DUST 514 development line or a different game which will replace DUST? - Looking for Dev answers, not player answers. Looked through lots of those already and still can't tell
Please post the answer somewhere noticeable, Devs. Will probably be asked again otherwise |

I have asked it on Twitter and on the forums. No answer as of yet from the developers. Considering Saberwing has pretty much humored by constant basement dweller questions, when something is not answered it is generally a good indication of something important.
But add another Joseph to the "is Legion a completely new game or is it just DUST on the PC?" question.

Legion is a completely new game coming from the learning "Experience" CCP had with DUST514. They will be going down different development lines, and BOTH will still continue to be updated.
EDID: Legion hasn't even finished alpha yet, so more news will be coming from it. DUST is only going to get smaller hot fixable updates and balance.

Pretty much what this guy said.
If there was another way to put it, it would be "Legion is the game Dust 514 was imagined to be"
They hit a development wall and decided it they could make much more progress by doing it on the PC instead. Dust will still exist, and they want to continue working on bringing whatever they possibly can to Dust. But think of Legion as a sequel more than anything.
It's like comparing Halo 2 to Halo 3. Halo 2 was on the original Xbox, while you had to get a 360 in order to play Halo 3. Halo 2 was still playable and stayed online even though a lot of people went to Halo 3. Eventually though, they shut down the Halo 2 servers. I'm just hoping that by the time Legion is released, they will have Dust 514 in a "finished" state.

If that were true, Legion is just a completely different game and is not just "DUST 514 on the PC", why has CCP been banging the "everything you have done in DUST will transfer over to Legion" drum? If they were just different games, CCP would have not have announced it at the DUST 514 keynote and nothing would transfer because "Legion and DUST are different games."
Don't get me wrong, I want my stuff to transfer. In fact, I never wanted to play DUST as it is. I wanted to play DUST as it was promised to be. That promise seems to be Legion. I am happy that my stuff is (supposedly) going to transfer because I put money into DUST hoping it was going to be what is now Legion. But If Legion were just a different game, why would anything transfer?
I am betting that CCP will take a snapshot of everyone's DUST character and that will transfer over to Legion. After I bet a year of Legion, DUST 514 will be officially unsupported and the servers pulled. I expect the player count to drop to an all time low after Legion's release so perhaps DUST 514 dies sooner than that.

Actually, I think that DUST could continue functioning on the PS3 on a minimal basis. None of the Benefits from Legion would carry over, sure, but the current stuff already exists; Lock PS3 players to a Small Map Only basis, etc.
Besides, you can't actually pull the DUST server. Tranquility FTW.
@Syeven, what proof do you have that Legion is an actual game rather than a seperate development line for DUST? That's one of the big issues, I can't find any proof about it anywhere which means I can't tell what Legion is supposed to be. and most of the official stuff I've seen leans towards it not actually being a game in it's own right, although even that isn't conclusive proof. |
