So you are suggesting to just let the game die? Eventually Sony will pull support for the PS3 and that will be the end of Dust.

Porting to next-gen is risky. However it is a necessary risk to ensure the game will survive. Yes there are somethings they need to change and improve on, but as it stands right now, this game is on borrowed time. A port can breathe new life into this game, which is what is needed.

It doesn't make sense for the company to take the financial risk given the produced results from the staff they have.

Given the lack of ability on the dev team, better to take the operating profit as long as they can, rather than invest in what will surely be a direction less mish mash of cribbed ideas from other games.

CCP can I'll afford another red ink producer.

The NPE: Our core issue and the primary driver of Dust's continuing failure. Improving the NPE is the only real thing Rattati can do to help this game. Everything else is a secondary issue. The progression system was CCP's single biggest contribution to the NPE. The Progression system is an abject failure. One wonders how much devtime went into that. Failure was totally predictable - CCP once again went ahead and developed 'a solution' without community input. It should be removed, it's bloat the client doesn't need and the latest in a long line of lessons that should indicate to any rational entity that collaboration with an experienced and still-passionate playerbase is the way forward. Every. Single. Time. What would work, given the constraints the developers face with the client, is: Asymmetric WP payouts. Several proposals for this on the forum. In PUBS, address the insurmountable power gap that shared scans creates for new players. In pubs, address the (increasing) power gap in gear metalevel. In pubs, address match leaving through a real contract system. And don't forget, CCP, for your next attempt at a shooter, that nothing replaces a real interactive tutorial. The tutorials we are talking about here are not about teaching a player 'how to shoot a gun'. If you don't understand what a tutorial would really be about, just ask the community. PSN: RationalSpark

A port to PS4 solves one problem for CCP but creates another....how many mercs born in the the last year live in countries where the PS4 is very expensive compared to the PS3? If you can't get those players to buy a PS4 you sure as hell aren't going to convince them to buy a PC that is "out of date" in a couple of years for a game. If CCP is making money with the player base they have now (and I submit the majority are not from the US) then what makes you think they are going to make a risky leap to another platform without some assurances the'll have the same or bigger revenue stream for that one? A port to PS4 in 2018 makes a little bit of sense. Porting Dust to the PS5 sounds like a good idea but the slow release of games at the birth of the PS4 proves it would be just the opposite case. We are stuck with Dust on the PS3 for at least another year or two. We need to make the best of it. Focus on NPE and fixes to the broken mechanics which affect the quality of gameplay.

tritan abbattere DBAG CORE 64	Posted - 2015.11.22 02:58:00 - [23] - Quote Maybe CCP should look into crowd funding and see how many people want it ported to PC and ps4. Crowdfunding a tool that I think should be used more often to get things we want as a community. I think the eve community would love to see a PC version and the rest of us on the ground would love to see a port to PS4 for better performance and graphics. I really want to see this game expand so it can grow faster and get a bigger development team so more content would be pushed out or higher quality or both. As to the OP i really want to see this game live as long as EVE online. For that to happen it will need to be ported. I love being able to heal faster then 1 dude shooting a guy at range or have a grenade launcher as a primary. This game is different then most shooters and that is why I like it. SO I have to say please do find a way to port it and do it. I am the all mighty Tritan. Fear me for I am a MassHole

PS4 is an easier to work with system for updates, it makes no sense for them not to port it. Especially if they're serious about a real connection between an FPS and EvE, which they seemingly are. If anything, it's the opposite of what you're saying, CCP has already invested too much in models and mechanics to not go ahead with this. n+ÅS¦¦Gùò GÇ+GÇ+ GùòS¦¦n++ I watch anime for the plot
