Legion isn't dead. They just don't talk about it much to get players to spend more money on Dust. If you really believe Dust can stay on PS3 forever you are pretty naive. I guess you can give it a year or maybe 2 until they start transitioning from Dust to Legion.
Also they went back on their "no more majore updates"-thing a long time ago.

Wouldn't be so sure about PS4. They said at Fanfest that one problem of Dust was it being on a platform they don't have much control over. PS4 would have the exact same problems again: Outdated hardware, patches need to be checked by Sony, no test server. Porting it to PS4 after the Rouge Wedding would be kind of pointless.

Outdated hardware??? Ps4....its basicly a pc.....
Yeah... it's a PC... a 6 - 7 year old PC. Have you looked up what hardware the PS4 is using? That's nowhere near current high end PCs.

I really wouldn't call a platform which has problems rendering a 1080p game @60 fps in 2015 "basically a pc"

I mean it has a team, yes, and it's actively being "worked on" in the same manner that World of Darkness was being worked on, burning the R&D budget with no clear destination on what exactly they are even supposed to be doing simply as an excuse to keep a number of people employed for as long as possible. But in terms of projects actually coming to fruition, no. It's dead. CCP is repeating its old mistakes of poor resource allocation and aimless development. Sooner or later its going to catch up to them and it will be officially scrapped, but not before burning countless manhours on throwaway crap that will never apply to the actual existing game. It will be Hilmar's fault, but most likely Rouge or someone else will end up having to fall on their sword for it. That's just how it goes with this company.
Why do you think Dust gets so many updates? That's all stuff we will see in Legion. I mean come on... it's not really a secret that Legion is not a new project, but just a Port of Dust with some fancier menu and better graphics.
And Dust is throwing a profit now. But do you think it will stay on PS3 forever? Certainly not. But CCP probably likes money. I heard that's true for all companies. So they will make the switch to Legion sometimes, because Dust can't live on the PS3 forever. But the project has to continue if CCP wants to get money out of it.
What we're currently playing is just the Beta of Legion. CCP wouldn't throw so much money into a project like Dust if they know that they'll just have to abandon it in the next 1 or 2 years because of the PS3 becoming obsolete due to dying hardware.

It's a developer choice between graphics and frame rate. They can very easily make the game look like, say, COD and have it run silky smooth. Or they could make it look like (Insert very demanding game) and have it run at 30FPS. No, you cannot expect 400$ worth of hardware to do the work of 1000$ worth of hardware.
Yes I can, because a 400 Dollar PC can do that, while having better graphics than a PS4.
