So it makes me wonder just how much is CCP lying to us about all this? It seems foolish to me to stop efforts on a game that is in production to work on a game that is in closed beta (legion is in CB right? I honestly dont know)
Not in Closed Beta, it's not even in Alpha yet. It's a prototype at the moment.
Thank you for the information Saber.
Honestly i appreciate it.
That does however really make me scratch my head at whats going on.
I might be very wrong on this also but if legion and Dust are both using Unreal 3 why not continue active development of Dust until Dust has more of the things players really want.
This is speculation on my part but if the 2 platforms are using the same engine won't a great deal of it be the same from 1 platform to the other?
Looked like Legion was on the Carbon engine. at least for the demo we got at FF, and the style and appearance in relation to EVE.
I Believe alot of CCP's hesitation is Sony. Sony has alot invested into this project aswell but they are fast building a reputation for being a huge supporter of smaller game developing studios. There is no Way Sony would let Legion exist without trying to get a piece of it. So it's really up in the air on the resources that will even be available to develop the legion project.
CCP hurt their own product, their own revenue stream and their own reputation with the way and timing in which information was given to the public. NDA exist to strategically keep and give information for the benefit of IP's and Profit margins.. It Really is questionable at best in which the way the information was relayed.
CCP would of been better just leaking information artificially then this even.
It Just goes to show you how far the CCP Corporation has got away from Hilmar's Managing capabilities. The Fact that there is little Cohesive planning amoungst the entire of CCP even before an Event like Fanfest is troubling as a CCP fan myself.
There is no way Market peoples, Accountant's, Community Reps(Like Saberwing), Developers and many other CCP employee's passionate about the IP would of agreed to just actively ruin a revenue stream like that.
