What do you think should happen to the players that don't have PS4s?
Do you think it's a good idea to split the player base even more? I don't think there's enough of us for that.
Do you think there should be cross-platform play? That would give PS4 users a huge advantage.
Do you think they should just pull the plug on the PS3 version? I don't think we have the player base for that......

Here's the thing, if Dust gets ported to Xbone, PS4, PC or even the Wii U, the community will be split apart regardless of which port it is.
Some people might pick up a PS4 for Dust, but in all honesty, I wouldn't as, other than Dust, there is only one game I want for PS4 and that's Bloodborne and 2 exclusives that I want to play (not exclusives in general) is not enough for me to spend $600 on a PS4. If I won lotto, then it would be no problem.
Actually, cross platform gaming gives massive advantage to the PC gamer for several reasons: Percision Aiming using mouse means no Auto-Aim for them; They can pull off tricky/bullsh.t stunts easier; They can mod their client and possibly cheat a hell of a lot easier, though CCP can put something in place to stop this; Multi-window and multi boxing with an EVE Online alt can mean instant bombardments whenever they need it in FW and PC.
There are way more reasons, but these through are just to make make my point that console FPS and PC FPS should not cross play in terms of PvP. PvE is a whole different beast.
Cross Platform play between Xbone and PS4 would be fun, but will never happen due to friction between Sony and Microsoft.

I'm sort of the same. I do love Dust, however once my PS3 dies I will be done unless they port to the Xbone or PC. I can't justify spending more money on a PS3 for one game. If they port to PS4, again I can not justify getting a PS4 for only two games (Dust and Bloodborne) as the other exclusives don't really interest me.

Whichever platform Dust ends up on, existing players should be carried across with skins and maybe, maybe inventory BPO's. All SP, skills, isk should be wiped.
Also, screw PS4. Bring it to Nintendo NX... or PC.

Do you think they should just pull the plug on the PS3 version? I don't think we have the player base for that...... 1) Sucks for us. I have a Xbox1 and I'm not putting more money into consoles. Only have a X1 for Kinect and Rock Band 4.
2) Doesn't matter if it's split as those who are left will be replaced with new customers; because of eye candy.
3) It's a give and take on that. Yeah, console users will be screwed; however, to counter that, you add Aim-Assist that's on the level of Titanfall. It'll **** off the KB&M users like me but we'll get over it and still kick y'all ass.
4) 2k throughout the day is bad; however, that means at least 6 - 10k are playing the game daily. Now, I do wish DUST was dead on PS3 and alive on PC but that's my biased opinion.

A number of us were already firmly in the PS camp and have PS4s already regardless.
I would like to see multi platform, with partitions such that each system could have an effect on some part of the universe without overlapping. No way controllers could compete with PC/KBM set ups, and no point in trying.

Cross platform would not be possible.
All in all this is exactly why I have not been one of the people constantly screaming port, tho I have screamed it.
CCP has a player base that they are here making money off of which is why they have no super urgent reason to port. Between the costs of a port, the costs of advertising to compete against many shiny new AAA titles, and abandoning a portion of the player base it is something that must be handled with extreme care.
This is why I said that CCP needs to come out immediately and announce a launch on a new platform in X amount of months to make sure that everyone has ample time to prepare as well as put some fire back in the game for some people who are getting really burnt out on having no idea what the future is.
I already have a PC that would run this easily and my PS4 arrives tomorrow so I am impartial to the platform. For the sake of the player base I do believe we should go to PS4 tho as getting dedicated console players to switch to PC is like trying to start a fire with only water.
If CCP was super smart they would get with Sony and make a Dust 514 bundle for the PS4 release which would sell like crazy to our players and CCP would get some favors owed from Sony for slightly boosting PS4 sales instead of keeping players here on the PS3. |

I just got my PS4 bundle for 380 after tax and shipping and I still get another 5% cash back on the credit card I used.
That brings my total cost to right at $360.
Even without discounts there are several bundles now going for $350 plus tax. |

P.S.
If you are really wanting a PS4 grab an amazon account and make sure you are subscribed to deal notifications.
I am already getting their black friday power sales which really do end up turning into amazing discounts but they only sell them to a few thousand people. |

DUST will most assuredly not receive a 1:1 "port" to a more current platform. Any crossplay would be out of the question.
What is more likely is a spiritual successor or a heavily updated version more akin to what we saw from Legion put on PS4/PC. Given a new platform, CCP has absolutely no reason to rely on DUST's current playerbase. A smart company would advertise the "port" (basically a new game) and attempt to reach prospective players. (And DUST's current playerbase is so paltry that relying on us would be asinine)
Simultaneously, killing DUST on the PS3 would be a good idea. Supporting a dying game on a dying console is a waste of manpower and resources.
Would some player be left behind? Absolutely. I might end up as one of them. But as things moves forward, people inevitably get left behind. Maybe they'll try to catch up. Maybe the won't. But CCP must look forward, and not concern itself too much with those "living in the past," because the money that they need doesn't lie with them...
Hopefully, under the course of action I outlined, "new" DUST would have enough new players and old DUST originals to make for a profitable game/port.

The logic I am pointing to is the fact that they do have somewhat of a console player base who would happily give them more money while going to PC would only divide the Eve player base and generate less overall revenue than having 2 totally different groups of players.
I love the PC option but speaking from a money point of view PS4 is the only option. The guys who do number crunching for CCP will ultimately make this decision. |

At the risk of fueling tin toil sales..... Should really know better by now than to dip into port threads.
No matter where any port may or may not go in terms of format, the one thing I'm fairly confident of is that cross play between formats isn't going to be on the cards any time soon after.
The difficulties of balancing the two control systems, DS4 on the PS4 and m&kb on PC are just too great to overcome. The closest example at the moment, Planestside 2, has the PC and PS4 players on separate servers precisely because of this. Having spoken to a couple of SCE (now Daybreak) Devs in the past at Fanfest, I know they spent a lot of time trying to overcome the problems but in the end it was felt the compromises being made impacted on the playability of both formats.
There has been the suggestion on these forums that CCP could have two separate regions on TQ for the Dust players to operate in. One for PC players and one for console. This on the face of it would seem a decent compromise.
However such a thing happening would 'splinter' the single shard gameplay that has been the cornerstone of the New Eden universe since day one of Eve Online's launch. New Eden has an over decade long reputation as being the only major MMO with this single shard gameplay. I honestly can't see CCP allowing that to change.
So it's going to be one format or the other I believe, certainly in the short term to medium term. If it's PS4 then that would be great as I prefer my FPS action sat in a sofa with a big TV. But if it were to be PS4 it's pretty much a sure thing that the game wouldn't have any form of auto aim assist and full unhindered m&kb support so that if a PC version comes later there would be control parity.
No PC gamer I've spoken to on this issue would be interested in playing any game that artificially gimped m&kb to aid console players.
If it's PC first, then the same conditions would apply with any later PS4 version shipping with full m&kb support.
So no matter what format the port may go to, it's control system is going to have to be m&kb for there to be any chance of cross platform play. Which personally would suck for myself as I loath m&kb for FPS games.

Do you think it's a good idea to split the player base even more? I don't think there's enough of us for that.
Do you think there should be cross-platform play? That would give PS4 users a huge advantage.
Do you think they should just pull the plug on the PS3 version? I don't think we have the player base for that...... Here's the thing, if Dust gets ported to Xbone, PS4, PC or even the Wii U, the community will be split apart regardless of which port it is. Some people might pick up a PS4 for Dust, but in all honesty, I wouldn't as, other than Dust, there is only one game I want for PS4 and that's Bloodborne and 2 exclusives that I want to play (not exclusives in general) is not enough for me to spend $600 on a PS4. If I won lotto, then it would be no problem. Actually, cross platform gaming gives massive advantage to the PC gamer for several reasons: Percision Aiming using mouse means no Auto-Aim for them; They can pull off tricky/bullsh.t stunts easier; They can mod their client and possibly cheat a hell of a lot easier, though CCP can put something in place to stop this; Multi-window and multi boxing with an EVE Online alt can mean instant bombardments whenever they need it in FW and PC. There are way more reasons, but these through are just to make make my point that console FPS and PC FPS should not cross play in terms of PvP. PvE is a whole different beast. Cross Platform play between Xbone and PS4 would be fun, but will never happen due to friction between Sony and Microsoft. $600? Pretty sure the PS4 is down to $400 or $450 by now.
