Re-inventing it for Legion is too time consuming and resource intensive. Something CCP has never been good at managing for the long haul. It would take them around 7 years minimum, at the rate they work things out. Hilmar will lay them all off by then, because PS3 Dust will no longer be generating income and they will simply be an unattractive money sink at that point. Just like WoD was.
On the other hand, moving Dust to PS4, the actual existing game that isn't vaporware like WoD and Legion, will continue to generate income and draw in a massive playerbase of PS4 owners who want quite literally anything to play that they can get their hands on. That would give them a launch base to do whatever long term stuff they want to do on PC, as well as a stronger system to try out new things on.
Totally agree Himiko.....with this new version of Dust and added improvements for PS4 system, I think this game would be revived.

We are not planning to make any announcements about or show anything new for DUST 514 or Project Legion at Fanfest, but CCP Rattati and CCP Rouge will be on hand to talk to attendees and participate in all the usual activities with everyone such as pub crawls and roundtables.
It does make you wonder a little bit.
1 year for beta was too soon imo so I'm not surprised we're not seeing a finished product but nothing at all at fanfest makes me a little concerned. Something tells me Legion is not getting its spotlight at FF2015 due to decisions made by management at Reykjavik and not by management at Shanghai. |

I don't think dust would be considered good investment for any company what grand mechanics the game does have can be reproduced. Even in the respect of PR I spend a ton of time on games pc/xbox/ps3 and I never even heard of this game; I stumbled upon it when checking out defiance. Further still lets say I just missed that memo and those pages in my gaming news along with all of my mmo buddies well I don't think dust is something that people could equate with esports the plague of balance issues doesn't allow for it nor does the name inspire confidence.
If they want to change peoples perception of dust they better act soon because their time is short, but I get the feeling that this crew is just riding a dead horse to the bank; maybe I'm wrong though and the changes they are saving will make legion the competitive mmo shooter that everyone wants.

From the looks of it, they were probably right about that. The Eve-Dust connection we have now is absolutely meaningless and has no impact on Eve. Even faction warfare doesn't do much and that is the biggest connection we have with Eve at the moment.

I was shocked when someone described dust as a sandbox game, but then realized after I spent some time with the game that it was because it was so poorly balanced.
"Remember, despite it's overwhelming success in the MMO market, the idiotic 'gaming community' still considers EVE's approach to be a 'niche' design philosophy.
Catering specifically to morons makes one many millions. Not doing so is still considered strange and alien to most any game company. "

Something to read through since we're on the subject matter. Keep in mind that The Mittani website is a very reputable source of information for anything happening with CCP, Dust 514, and Eve Online and they have a good staff from the looks of it.

From the looks of it, CCP may have suffered a lot with the cancellation of WoD, but it's still doing just fine. And since Dust is making money compared to World of Darkness (which never made money), I can't say for sure if this is a sign of CCP ever being sold. At least not yet.

Just purely speculating here, but if i understand the points you made in your past videos that A) Dust has been written off as a R&D project and B) CCP is being sold, so the company is boosting stats about its assests until it can it can find a suitible buyer.
The frustrating part is that CCP has done nothing to attract enough players to dust so they wouldn't have to stat boost. CCP also cut its own financial success when they stopped selling BPOs for over a year and merely relied upon booster sales. And the way the Rouge wedding played out really crippled dust. A lot of people quit playing and/or stopped buying aurum, and quite a few cancelled there eve accounts as well.
They really cut off thier nose to spite their own face and the hotfixes and 1.9 has been that nose badly sticthed back on to show that they could make at least some profit doint things that PLAYERS have been telling them to do for as long as Dust has been around.
Respec for Aurum Release the old BPOs Bring back the Package deals Rework matchmaking Look after new players
As much as i would like to give the devs credit on coming around to this lately, I cannot. Why give them credit for finnaly doing what is common sense to players who are not running a gaming company. We had to beg for a year for CCP to take our money. Now that they finally are doing exactly what we told them to do to make money they are making sure that it will not be worth it. No dust514 or Legion announcements at fanfest is B.S.
Dust is in steady decline as more and more vets become disillusioned about the future plans of dust and legion and there are fewer and fewer newberries to replace them. Fanfest could have been an occasion to right the ship, get her steady and at least prevent more people from leaving.

all of which i could have forgiven untill

Sorry if its doom and gloom Bamm, but thats all CCP have given me to work with. Fanfest needed a to be the glimmer of sunshine to tide us over, and we are not even getting that.

Couldnt be more wrong ? That s arguable.
PC may be all freedom and butterflies but the competition is ferocious. Creating a solid player base there will be a real challenge and even if the entire population of EVE was to play it, it wouldnt be enough.
On the other hand, consoles have pretty much nothing going on that specific MMOFPS thing. And visibility is guaranteed with mainstreamed stores. On pc, not so much.
I just love how the main justification for developping on PC are :
- But what about EVE players, they may not want to by a console => Yeah, and so i guess all console players playing DUST 514 just DREEEEEAAAAAM of buying a PC to keep playing.
- But, developping on console is soooooooo hard, and sony's network is sooooo tough. => Okay.... Then how come games like destiny, ACU, and such manage to release 3 patches in the course of 2 month ? Damn, that seems very very hard..... And let's not forget Sony put in some efforts to make things easier.
As for the planetside 2 example. It actually took 1 year to develop. The first announcement for PS2 being available on release for PS4 was under the assumption that they would simply port the damn thing. Then they decided to use their brain and revamp the game UI\Control wise. (Which they havent finished yet). Also, PS2 even on PC was optimised like **** so optimising for a unified architecture took time. So again, whoah..... Hard and long...... and also, let's compare developping time with end product quality, and let's laugh.
And maybe we can say a few words on DCU, or warframe ? Those two games are working. No problem. Hell even blacklight is playable now.
At some point, one's got to just stop looking for excuses or justifications and simply admit when there's an obvious lack of competence and gigantic executive management failure in strategic decisions. The simple fact they hired a chinese studio with no experience whatsoever to build dust in the first place should have been a big enough hint to have us all run in the opposite direction.
Anyway, that thread was delicious to my eyes. Never thought i could be even more amazed by the overall lack of professionalism\transparency\decency than i already was.

Your theories have little to no solid evidence to back them up.
You point to CCP taking a multimillion dollar write off on Dust which was in all likely hood related to World of Darkness. Why would you even assume it is related to Dust when this filing was made at the same time they shut down another game and laid off most of the workforce for that game.
You quote valuations per player from another game which is not even on the same platform and does not charge players in any where near the same way.
You quote financial data that you obviously did not study very well. If you did you would know that unspent AUR is filed as a liability until it has actually been spent on in game items making even the profit ratios reported versus actual cash reserves to be very different.
I am all for a good doom story but PLEASE have a little bit of backbone to it. This was a great attempt at being controversial to stir up hits on your blog but the Dust community really is not big enough for this type of activity to benefit you in anyway. All you are doing is spreading more unfounded rumors through out this community that oh so loves to spread rumors. |

seeing as DUST was released almost 2yrs ago on a console which has "80million units sold" as CCP loved to tell us and without any game of its kind on any other console, tell me how successful dust514 has been when it had the whole market to itself. and its not so much developing for a console its all the redtape that comes with it. Timesplitters Rewind had the same issue that the developers had to wait about a year for aproval from both Crytek to allow them to use the Cryengine on PS4 and then Sony to say wether or not they can put it on the PS4 or not. the same also applies to the Unreal engine. its not simply a case of CCP saying "oh hey we're gonna make Legion for PS4 now" they have to meet criteria from both Epic games to allow usage of Unreal engine on a console and then if they get the green light from Epic games they then have to goto Sony as convince them about moving a game which has failed to impress on the PS3 and sell it on the PS4 PSN. PC however they have the licence for the engine to develop it and to release it they just put the EXE on a website and there you go, they can have LEgion out in a matter of a few months
CCP can then work at distancing Legion from DUST514 and the PS3 version, which lets face it hasn't had the most glamourous reveiws in the industry. and begin to establish Legion as an FPSMMO that they originally billed DUST as, once they (hopefully) build up a better reputation and playerbase they can then begin to start approaching Sony and MS again with Legion when DUST has been partially forgotten about as that 'bad' FPSMMO demo on the PS3.
