This is a BETA so the game will spend its entire life on PS3. Its not gunna port to PS4 because they will just make a new game called LEGION.

In my mind this would make more sense.

Keep your panties on. Not the right time yet

Wasnt legion dropped ?

Wait until numbers drop to what point?

Reasons why Dust should be moved on PC:

1. Processor is 10 times stronger than PS4
2. Graphics would be 10 times better(60 fps) all hail pc master race!
3. No more controilers, everyone will be equal against every player
4. Limitless upgrades since PC have limitless power
5. Who needs PVE? You want PVE? Go play Warframe then!

Numbers are up compared to last year. But besides the point, what you need to recognize is the player count is nothing to do with the decision to port.

You need to have a really good product before you port to the current Gen.

Right now we are getting indefinite, profitable development time to continue to Polish this product (which it needs) before we move it to new technology.

Let's use our heads a little bit before jumping to conclusions

Over half the Fanbase would quit if this game was moved to PC. Why have it connected to eve if they're both on the same platform?

1. That's a give and take. I only have a console for Rock Band mostly. Everything else, I can get cheaper on PC.

2. That's the most stupid thing I've seen this week on the forums. Why have it connected if they're on the same platform? Jesus Christ is this the gamer mindset now?

Eventually this game is going to move or the players are going to move on without it. Dust population is obviously all PS players, so why not move it to the next generation?

All that proccessing and graphics power equates to alot of money needed to be spent on PC...

Not true in long term perspective.

Please explain.

As long as they let our characters move over, I don't care what the game is called

WARNING WALL OF TEXT IN DEPTH EXPLANATION BELOW. IF YOU QUOTE THIS, PLEASE DELETE THE WALL OF TEXT IN THE QUOTE

Short term perspective, you can build yourself a good gaming PC for $500 on the low side or $650 on the high end. Again, you don't have to look at everything all pretty. That being said, lets go in the middileish area of the random numbers I threw out. Say we take $600 to build a PC. Below are some random things I found for good prices.

Intel Core i7-4771 @ 3.50GHz: $319.99 @Newegg
Rosewill RBR1000-M 1000-Watt Bronze Series: $109.99 New @Amazon
AMD Radeon HD 7870: $165.00 Used @Amazon
Intel Desktop DB65AL Classic Series microATX Motherboard: $139.00 @esaitek (Hard to find, just using my Motherboard as a example)
Do not forget to get your computer case, mouse and keyboard. These prices can range from $20 to $350 or more. All depends on your style of looks or just budgeting. Also, do not forget to get Windows 7 Service Pack 1 or Windows 8.1. That way, you can choose to upgrade to Windows 10 if you want to for free. I, personally, would wait on WIndows 10 till next year. Windows 7 Professional N works perfect for me.

^ Total cost right now is $734USD without tax; however, I like looking at things with maximum settings (minus a couple things I don't care about). If you drop the Graphics card to a 7770 or drop the CPU to a lower quality model, you're in the ball park for the budget. Now, games on PC are really cheap after about it being out for 2 months or so. Because most PC gamers wait to for the price to go down. If you use websites that sell CD-Keys, you can get the price even lower. I bought BF:Hardline for $35 on release day.

Now lets compare short term perspective with console.
PlayStation 4: New $400 @local retailer
PS Plus: $50
1 PS game (so you can have something to play): New $60

^ Total cost right now is, $510 USD without tax. This is just 1 game.. ONE game (Minus the PS+ free games, that don't help the industry). Say you bought 4 PS games new, that's now $690 without tax. This is going off if you bought it near or within 1 year of the game being out, as console game prices do not drop till nearly 1 1/2 years being out.. Unless you're BF4 or Assassin's Creed Unity.


Long term perspective, this PC build will allow you to play games even the newer ones up to possibly 2017(Change the Radeon HD 7870 to a Radeon R9 x series, and you'll be good for somewhere in the 2019); however, the down side is you lose graphics quality doing so. The counter to that is wait for the newer Graphics cards that are better and buy them after the price drops. Which then you spent the price of 1 New Gen console to keep you good for 5+ years. Again, give or take on graphics quality, budget, and taking the time to learn how to put a PC together (It's really easy, not rocket science).

Console long term perspective, you have to keep paying down almost $700 every 5 1/2 years for a new console, with 4 games, and the online fee. Now lets not forget the games you bought after the 4. Well, lets say you want to play your old games again, you have to keep that console and, hopefully you kept it in good shape, switch to it when you want to. Not that that's bad, but that's taking up space and time.

In short term perspective, console is better for pick and play but the amount of money you put in adds up well more than you put into a PC to just play a game; however, long term perspective, PC is better for too many reasons to explain besides cost efficiency.

Reasons to not move Dust to the PS4

Many people will not be willing to spend $400 + dollars to follow a broken and incomplete game to a new system.

Purchasing a PS4 will likely lead to that cash drying up from most people for a little while to recoup that $400 expense in their mind.


Did I mention broken and incomplete?

They would not be literally porting the game. They would actually be remaking the game because it would cost a similar amount to completely rebuild the game as it would to meticulously change every line of code.

Also, they are not counting on people from the PS3 moving to PS4. Rather, CCP would be counting on the already available PS4 populace.
