why Dust should not be ported to PS4

because PC is better and doesn't have the restrictions that consoles have its also cheaper to build a pc then to have to buy a whole other console just to play Dust, also warframe and planet side 2 look better on PC so thats bs of an argument if you want to use it

CCP needs to keep their games on PC so everyone can have easy access to all their games

Port yes. Start new, no. I walk if all my time, effort and money spent on this game amounts to nothing. Starting from scratch would literally free me from playing this game or any reiteration of it.

suffer how is a consol gamer going to suffer? you can easily use controllers on PC

its cheaper then buying a PS4 and if you have enough to buy one or already bought one then buying a PC should be just as easy, you get access to more free games and more content so why do you say they suffer?? perhaps its your own ignorance that keeps you from seeing that consoles are just glorified computers with their respective software

What I do not get is why people are interpreting the "we are profitable" statement as meaning CCP will want to port right away.

Don't you people realize that by sticking around and pouring money into the game on PS3 we have essentially encouraged CCP to keep it here as long as possible.

Why would they take a profitable situation with a small but strong player base and throw it away in hopes that people will follow up to the PS4 and not stray away to other games on the newer platforms. This would be foolish in so many different ways I can not even begin to explain the absolute lack of business sense that a decision like that would show.


I would like to say you're welcome on my part for casting as many votes as possible (dollars down the drain) to keep Dust on the PS3 into the near future in hopes that CCP will have continued the process of removing their head from their rectum as they have been accomplishing for a short amount of time now. I would also like to thank those who sent a similar message to CCP through their wreck less spending on strong boxes and warbarge components. At the rate we are going CCP will allow Dust 514 to rot on the PS3 until absolutely the last minute.

This is exactly why we have issues with the amazing system which is the free market. Consumers are fooled into believing that spending money is their form of casting a vote when in reality at times the vote that is needed is the absolute lack of cash flow forcing a company to need to move forward on a new path.

First, imagine the number of eve players that want to play Dust, but aren't going to buy a console specifically for it.

Then, look back at Dust's history. It came in at the end of the PS3's life. It was good for a little while, then we ended up here, because the PS4 came out.

A port to PS4 would be a bad call, because it would just repeat past mistakes. Dust has an established fanbase on the PS3, but it's small. It's safe to assume that a PC port would attract a lot more Eve players, attract other PC gamers, and pull some of the PS3 crowd over to PC, just like the PC crowd hopped on the PS3 for Dust.

Porting it to PS4 wouldn't help the player base grow at all; a lot of PS4 players have access to PS3s, yet they still don't play Dust.

Edit out the part where you say we cant keep our SP and you will get a TON of likes.


Dust is my favorite game of all time, yet I am not playing it lately because I have a PS4. Currently I am playing new games on that because my entire clan moved to the 4.

But should DUST 514 Become a ps4 title, this AMARRIAN conglomerate will awaken once again.



You see... Many of us vets have invested far too much into our characters to just say "lets all start over."


The fact is, DUST is supposed to be an MMO. An ongoing title, reversing that would be reversing the lore... Which is unacceptable.

All of our work, all of our grinding, sweating, and sandwich making right before the game starts, would all have been for nought.

Let the noobs of DUST on the ps4 wallow and scream when they see a ps3 vet on the battlefiled. May the ps3 DUST vets be immortal in their majestic presence.

Let matchmaking keep the noobs away from us, until they reach 15 mill SP, and even then, they arent ready.

For the fear that we shall strike into their hearts, will cripple any well established twitch streamer.

Let the DUST 514 VETERANS rise on Twitch via PS4 share, and may we be respected in the sony gaming community for our teamwork, tactics, sound communication, and badass fittings.


Let us teach them how to lead by example, all while being a servant unto our brethren, and sisteren.

DUST 514 IS NO GAME, IT IS A CULTURE.

Let us do this CCP, it is time for greatness.

(and yes thats a PS4 tagline dagnabbit!!)

A "huge mistake" hmm this is awfuly similar to what every PC player says on dust 514 review gaming articles but never do realize that dust was once a striving game with a decent player base of over 9k people. The two biggest mistakes that where made here are two. Uprising 1.0 and FF14.

You pointing out that the player base got diminished all due because of the PS4 just shows your lack of knowledge about what went on in this game and it's development. It is not entirely true mainly due to the fact that dust's player base got diminished even way before the ps4 got released when uprsing 1.0 came out on mid 2013. They were many different factors as to why our player base went from 9k to 5k in less than three months and these are some of them. They changed how dust looked, how the guns felt, how aiming and movement felt, how tanks and DS's operated, skills where changed for no reason. They basically said "here play this and dont ask why we changed almost everything that you guys loved from chromosome." Not only did they downgraded and changed everything but the game also became even more buggier. Planetary Conquest which was the end game for many vets just ended up frustrating them because of how bad it was and some of them left but many still stayed until CCP dropped a nuke on FF14 and that was the final nail on the coffin.

Notice how i said not "entirely true" which there is some validity to your claim. The release of the PS4 did hurt dust's player base. Yet Many still stayed because we wanted to hear the future of this game at FF14. And that is where CCP dropped the ball big time. It is not hard to tell that dust was not going to be successful on ps4 during the current poor state that it was. I am glad they did not released to ps4 because they would of had blew it the second time for sure. Right now dust seems to be on a better position with the implementation of skins and trading which allows cash flow through hands. But it is not quiet ready yet.

I am just surprised this game is still going after three heavy blows. The reason why i call your post bias is because you obviously and currently dont give two iotas of the current state of the game much less the player base. Im all up for PC and PS4 release just knowing that dust is alive and well is enough to put my mind at ease. But at least try to give two sh*ts about the situation and dont speak out blatantly claiming how "this" is how it happen while it was not.

You lost me at that last part.

The idea of losing everything we've worked for in Dust 514 was part of why people got so angry about Project Legion.

I can understand the idea of our progress being somewhat daunting in the eyes of brand new players on the new platform, but I think we can also agree that gear doesn't save people bad at using it from being bad.

This is a game about being in for the long haul, and forcing everyone to start over would remove most of the investment we've all made in the game.

There a few ways to look at the situation at hand.

Yes, the player base MIGHT increase if/when CCP takes this game to PC. On the other hand, they will lose a great number of loyal players if they do this. Basically, they are stuck between a rock and a hard place. A very large portion of the people who have stopped playing dust to begin with, have stopped because they moved to the next gen console. That being said, moving Dust to PS4 would also increase their player base because, lets face it; there are not many games for PS4 to begin with.

The problem with this is that there are some serious issues that need to be fixed before porting can even happen, as I am sure someone somewhere on this topic has stated.

Another thing to take into consideration is that there are only a few people that play Dust and are EVE players. In reality, (speaking as someone who actually plays EVE) the ones who do play both games waste so much time and money trying to run them in tandem. Point blank, 99% of EVE players don't give a rat's ass about Dust or the Dust community. So it would essentially be a no brainier to continue their beta testing of this grander scheme idea on a PS4 console. Then at least they have the ability to either decide to keep it there, or wipe it when they have perfected it as a PC game.

It's no secret that CCP has admitted to being more comfortable with PC game designing, but considering their limitations with software/hardware/and networking, they aren't doing too bad with this FREE TO PLAY game. Dust is a 100% unfinished product and I think people tend to forget that when they play. It's actually a decent game, yeah it's buggy as hell, but you aren't paying unless you CHOOSE to pay.

In spite of everything, I think CCP wouldn't be stupid enough to knock everyone back to noob status, especially those who have actually funded them and made it possible for them to make the changes they have made in the first place. What other game devs really let you be apart of their WHOLE dev process. They are taking the route every developer should by testing capacities and structures over a server. The game has so much potential and eventually they'll figure it all out.
