If you could choose between fixing lag or porting to PS4 - which would you pick?

it's was more of a question of how far reaching your goals are. I'd of preferred you said lag, because a bad port is worse then no port.
Seems you'll be aiming long term, which will then all depend if CCP even has a long term plan anymore? |

But if I have to pick between short term and long term I tend to think long term.
I don't believe for a second that the goals are exclusive.
they aren't, if CCP choose one path it eventually leads to another. Fix dust - stable port later. Port now - stabilize game in a hopefully easier environment for developers eventually.
But knowing CCP - jumping to a port will eventually lead to a lot more people feeling iffy about how CCP does things. They too openly make promises and too willingly go against them. I could start from the original Uprising closed beta all the way to Uprising open beta with how many vague word choices CCP's used in legal wordings and promises taken back, but that would take up a few posts worth of texts.
If the game starts off choppy people will abandon it quick - PS4 games require more memory to store, so people will be picky what stays on there systems eventually.
This is why they need to fix this piece of **** they have right now before they look to another bigger goal. One step at a time. There is no consistent F2P games coming to console anytime soon to compete with Dust, so get it right. |

If I were in charge of a port team, I would rebuild a few core mechanics first.
If they were just going to do an easy PC port? KB/M support is already there.
Simply compiling the game to run on PC by itself isn't exactly a complex operation for most programmers. But CCP could have done that a couple dozen times since the first port question came out.
We all figure there is going to be a port. If we assume CCP has been working on it for a long period of time, and it's not done yet, this might be an indicator that they're trying to unscrew the core of the game.
Most likely scenario IMHO.
You just got my vote, good sir. o7 |
