Just to throw my two cents of support on the pile, as a long time EVE player who also loves FPSs on PC and console...

I love New Eden. I bought a PS3 solely to play Dust. The game stands on its own merits as a good, thinker's, high TTK sci-fi shooter, and that it's free-to-play and set in such an epic background is just awesomeness icing.

It's a damned shame that it's pinned to the aging PS3. It deserves the rebirth that any other epic shooter saga gets every handful of years when the platform tech ceases to do justice to the underlying IP.

I have a group of gamers that plays PC FPSs together, who universally lament the dearth of sci-fi shooter offerings on the current market. They've watched me play Dust. They like it. They're not going to dive in and buy a PS3 as I did just to play it, but if it showed up on the PC with updated textures and optimized controls, they'd play it in a heartbeat. If it ALSO had some of the Legion features we heard about before radio silence, they'd play the **** out of it and probably not play much else.

What a shame it would be to throw away all that potential and growth just to satisfy the handful of people that won't follow Dust where so many of us think it's meant to go.

EDIT: as an optimist, I'm leaning toward the explanation that CCP is silent on the matter mainly in order not to divert attention from Valkyrie. Fine. But throw us a bone. What PR harm could come of "We hear you, and we will address Dust and its future in more detail once the limelight has shifted off of the Valkyrie release"?

what would be freakn hilarious is if they decided to port it to xbox one

Dust is dying. By the time they move it to ps4, it will have been dead by then. There is no point in moving a dead game into the future. CCP themselves are very aware of this.

I don't think you quite understand that moving it is intended to stop it dying. Frankly, it doesn't matter if it's dead on PS3 if it gets somewhere else because there it can start again.

Microsoft refuses to play nice with CCP about connections to Tranquility. The smart money is on PS4 or PC.

That being said... so long as it gets off the PS3 I honestly don't give a damn. PS4, PC, Xbox One. Whatever. Just port it to a current gen platform and unchain Dust 514 from this dinosaur we call the PS3.
