...so we'll keep quietly building it, while continuing to push as many updates and fixes and patches as the PS3 allows and as are justified by the PS3 player base, and it's a win-win-win. Dusties get to keep playing their game (I mean, would you really rather it just get abandoned?), we get valuable feedback and balance input from their participation, and people who have current-gen hardware get Legion with the benefit of all that feedback and research...when the time is right. youre like jim carry's character from me, myself and Irene.... im sure there is a perfectly good reason why im a white male and my wife had 3 black babies.....

I was comparing the endless array of excuses the ignorant will make even in the face of the obvious to protect their perceptions.... I probably used to many big words for you there...
Except its not obvious, far form it.
There are two outcomes:
1) Legion is dead, in which case ccp won;t say a damn thing about it being dead, because it will mean dust is pretty much dead.
2) Legion is coming, but they won;t say anything for fear of back lash.
Lets look at this logically. The PS3 is a dying platform. For all of CCP's 'there are 80 million PS3's' Dust has not gotten that many people playng. Over time more and more PS3's will fail. And sony will soon(tm) be cutting off support for it. Itd a matter of time. CCP has to think hard about Dust future. It has to go someplace. An announcement that legion is dead, and legion being a dust port, means Dust is dead. They will milk it for all its worth then put a bullet in its head. CCP would be STUPID to announce legion not coming, unless they had some sort of plan to vitalize dust on the PS3. and logically that is not possible.
Dust atm is stable and profitable. So if the above is true, and CCP are not going to kill Dust onces its been milked, then they are working on a port/new game. But due to the Rouge Weddings back lash, they decided ot be quite about it. This makes logical sense. CCP has growning hype aorund Valk and Gun Jack, and you don;t wan to soil both of thouse game launches with bad press or a reminder that you dropped the ball on one of your games. This would not be good for both consumers and investors.
Everything that can be gleemed is CCP is working on something. The updates for Dust have not been enough to justify a huge dev team that would be in a studio. So People in Shanghi have to be doing somehting.
Yes they made Gun Jack, but honestly that was prolly made with not alot of Dev time. It will be really easiy to recoup your loses for it. So what are the other teams doing exactly?
CCP has also stated numerous times legion is still a thing, which means they are thinking about it and most likly working on it. Rational and Logic would state that most likly Legion is in the works, and coming. and after Valk is out the door we will hear about it. Not before. And when we hear about it, it will be really close to shipment, so CCP can give oyu all the details and not mess up like they did in 2014.
But you can believe what you want, the signs i see say legion is not dead. Cause if it is Dust is dead. so it depends really on what ccp's future looks like. And the 2014 vision, if still holding true, says legion is coming. |
