Look, I hate it as much as anyone but let's look at some easy facts
Legion is in prototype stage, and looks better then dust. It only took them what, 3-5 months to create that much content? Clearly they are having an easier time with it then they do with dust.
They are using the UE3 engine for the sole purpose of salvaging the best code from dust (imo) , and using the statistics gained from dust at their disposal to eliminate balancing factors at conception. So this will speed things along exponentially, possibly shaving multiple months off development.
At this point with the rate of development legion has had, I see very few obstacles that would prevent it from being greenlit. It's dust, but better in every way, with the ability to transcend dust in every way.
CCP still want ts to milk Dust for all its worth cause hey, who wouldn't want to? It's a product with a playerbase that can help then aid in the cost of developing legion, hence the server side updates only. They don't want to deviate money to dust when they birthed a new favorite son, cause let's face it...updating a game through Sony isn't cheap. It's relatively expensive as hell.
So, Legion WILL get greenlit, it IS a better upgraded version of dust, the devs no longer can profit from the aur market by continuing to develop dust alongside legion and are therefore culling Dust's progress, and CCP is unable to publicly admit Dust's inevitable future because it will guarantee less profits for them to funnel to Legion. So they will continue to spin the issue until it becomes moot point.
While distasteful, especially the way they handled it at fanfest, they are still a business and will make decisions for the benefit of of their company over the consumer. And if they create a complete success with Legion, it will easily overshadow what happened with Dust, and CCP is willing to go "all in" on this bet. |

Lol @ some player that thinks they know what IS going to happen.
I predict another failure from CCP and i think they will decide that the PC market is too competative with FPS shooters and never even reach open beta with legion
You are talking about it failing when its an actual game.
I said it getting greenlit is going to happen.
Perhaps you missed that part when you decided you would attempt to troll by loling at someone "saying something IS going to happen", then hypocritically make a similar statement.
Can you honestly see the Legion footage, and then fail to piece together the puzzle of why they are stopping development on Dust and diverting the entire Shanghai team towards the development of Legion?
Edit - I might as well make this clear in case you still don't understand common logic. A game being greenlit means the development of said game will get an increased amount of funding from its parent company to accelerate said development, based on their assessment that said game will eventually be successful enough to warrant funds being diverted to its creation. Closed and Open betas are things that happen after the alpha phase. |

They could just as easily realized that with their contract with Sony, they needed to keep the Dust servers up for x amount of months at a loss and decided to attempt to recoup some of that loss by reusing as many of those assets as possible on a PC game. There was nothing compelling about the Legion presentation that shows some major step forward from Dust. What did you see that made you think they had made some major leap forward?
It was seeing the footage, and then claiming PvE will be possible in Legion.
It was knowing they said things like titan boarding and and maps that were on space stations were not going to happen on the ps3 limited hardware, and knowing the PC is capable of it.
I'm not here arguing the decision to move to PC instead of ps4, again I think it distasteful and I created many posts venting my annoyance and frustration on the fact I want be playing the game for i feel no need to spend as much money as it would take to run a top of the line gaming rig.
I simply created a post explaining my opinion of Why CCP won't admit dust is a dead game, because they moved on to legion. Nothing more, nothing less. |

By what part of the footage exactly made you think more was possible? Please be specific. I see little to nothing of value in that video, especially as regards the developmental prowess of CCP. I dismiss any CCP promises out of hand now, so I won't pretend to care about that part. But I am genuinely curious as to what parts of that video made you think that these same people could do something other than produce a perpetually second class title.
That's fine. It's your opinion.
Regardless of whether or not PvE is possible on legion or dust, it's already been stated dust is not getting PvE. Legion will. Period. End of story. So your argument is moot point.
But i do know for a fact that the ps3 lacks the capabilities of connecting a PC and PS3 along the same network easily. Again so you don't try to spin my words I said EASILY. The only game I know of that is a cross platform between PC and ps3-ps4 is ff14, and the ps3 is utter garbage. It's a joke. It had connection problems for almost 6 months after its Release, and it still does to this day. And this is from a company that has been working with Sony for years, developing the game on its only other platform for years, and still hasn't perfected it.
How about you provide an argument based on my statements instead of ignoring everything that doesn't pander to your feeling of betrayal.
But pf course by all means continue to cut my responses to a single sentence in an attempt to further whatever agenda you may have, that's your right. Even After all these posts of yours where you haven't added to the argument beyond you being disgruntled.
Or better yet, just ask me another question google will answer for you. I'll be happy to oblige. |
