i wish people would realize its not remotely practical to even think about multiplatform releases so early into a project, its is likely that legion will be playable on a ps4 level machine.

(since a pc game has to be optimized for alot of differ set ups, a ps4 level machine will fit in that margin, so ditch the it wont work its not powerful enough argument because thats all bloix)

legion on pc if it reaches a playable state for the general populous, they will probably start looking to put it on ps4, but they have to have a reasonable amount of content before releasing it since even with sonys improved updated system its still slower to push an update to a ps4 version then it will be to the pc version.

you have to consider that any content in legion pc would take awhile to get to the ps4 witch would either mean they started slowing pc updates (bad idea) or have a second team porting the updates to ps4 in there own time. (people will complain)
in other words it makes the most sense for them to simply wait till legion is well established and then look at porting it to another system.

So in short, buy a gaming pc and get cheep steam games to pass the time.

I'm judging this based on the concept of what Dust 514 was supposed to be. Also, don't forget that Legion when it happens, its not going to be a one time release, we're talking a game that will be around for years to come, and the PS4 will simply get old, and will not be able to handle constant updates. You know if Dust/Legion were to be the kinda game that is once released this is it, or if it was not set INSIDE of the Eve universe. I would say fine, just port it to the PS4 and let more people enjoy it. But in this case, its not, and moving over to console will just ruin the experience and the possibilities.

See, AGAIN people missing the whole point...Legion, if it happens, its NOT your typical game, its a game designed for YEARS AND YEARS to come. A game that is SET INSIDE the EVE universe, where there is DIRECT connection between the TWO. They are running on the SAME server, in REAL-TIME. Things happening in Legion will directly affect the EVE universe, and vice verse. How can you ask for it to come out on the PS4? And I'm glad you mentioned this whole update thing. How can they keep the two games running together? How can they upgrade the game in 5 years from now to over-haul the graphics for example. Or go for new tech with maybe a new engine?? How can they keep the people at that time who have become a part of that universe on the same page? How can they've battles going on with people playing on the PS4 and PC at the same time without issues? This kinda game simply CAN NOT be multi-platform. When they came up with Dust, why didn't they just release it for the PC as-well?? Why did they make it exclusive to ONE platform? Maybe they can release a watered down version of it for the PS4 with ZERO connection to EVE. So say what Dust 514 is right now with no planetary conquest stuff. But that's as far as it could go. Legion / EVE are not like Planetside 2 for example where everything is instanced, and things can happen multiple times on different server with different people. We are talking one huge server carrying all the action of the two games. Everything there exists sort of like real life.

I know that Dust and EVE are already on the same server, and battles have been done with players on the two sides. But DIFFERENT games....I'm talking if Legion is on both the PC anf PS4, how can you've a battle with players on the 2 platforms?????? Playing the same game that is...And lets say they accomplish that, how can people compete playing against others on PCs with 3 and 4 times more power?? How are updates going to be synced between the 2 platforms??...And more and more.... @Meee One....What is Black Light to even mention on here?????......Black Light is just a lame game with no persistant universe, NOTHING! So of course they can have it on more than one platform. I even mentioned Planetside, just for the sake of that kinda argument. But still, people are too DUMB....And as for having 2 versions of Legion like you said. Please, they're struggling to even get one out. Lol. Come on people, before u post, just think. And do your research, try to understand what EVE is, and what the concept of Dust 514 was. And what CCP is planning to accomplish with Legion if it happens....Please..

Console players know the console they are purchasing will be replaced outright in the future,yet they slap 400 + currency down for one each and every time. Plus 50-60 for games. +DLC And no modding means they can only buy what's offered. While PC users must simply replace a single old part at a time,making them more cost effective. And modding means they have free options,see skyrim. Console players are simply more willing to part with their monies. Now,if you were a company going for profit. Which would you target? Money hose console players. Or thrifty PC players? Obvious answer is obvious. Well, I consider doing some more research. CCP is the Dev and publisher of their own games. Of course they look for profit, but thats not what they aim for mainly like other companies out there. They're ore about their game, and community.. And, consoles are by no means more costly than a PC. Dedicated PC gamers spend so much more money. My GPU by itself costs more than a PS4... Again, I'm no hater of consoles, I have had them since I was a little kid to this day, and I keep up with them all the time. Its just I don't see Legion as a possible console project!
