DUST Search - Anyone here played Gunjack?

I think he means it was a priority over DUST. Maybe it wasn't, but when you look at the lack of progress around here, it's hard to think it didn't cut further into dev time and resources here; no matter how small the project was.

While it's possible people may have gotten borrowed for quick things here or there pending the Gunjack release... it's not a major title. It isn't a large team. It was a very cheap project that ended up being a thing.

Really?
Rattati was last heard from in October here on the forums. Then in early November, Rattati tweeted (https://twitter.com/ccp_rattati) about the Gunjack release which was the last tweet he's sent. If Shanghai has not been working on Gunjack, WT* have they been doing since late November (especially as 1.3 was said to be almost done in early to mid October)?

AFAIK, Rattati has not ever worked on Gunjack at all. He's not really a "game developer" by trade, and he's entirely consumed by/concerned with DUST. I could not speak to why we have not heard from Rattati much in the last few months as I am no longer in the loop, and I do not know. I do know some things, but it does not justify to me why he hasn't had a few minutes to check the forums and let us know he is still alive. But I would be fairly confident Gunjack has nothing to do with it. He is still excited about it's release because it is a game launch coming from the studio he works at, and he surely has friends and coworkers who worked on it.

Unfortunately, I have been unable to find anything about it's status. I tried to register for news and updates but the submit failed. Therefore, I am now asking within the community here if anyone has tried Gunjack yet? As both Gunjack and DUST are both products of the Shanghai team, they are likely pretty intertwined even if not that apparent to DUST players. I don't troll; I tell the truth.

Evil Project milestones are marked as projected expectations, but within that timeline any number of alternate projects, priorities, or short-fused "distractions" may (and often do) come up. I've never seen all-or-nothing in business. Sure, there may be the occasional focus on one single project depending on contractual obligations, staffing schedules, and windows of opportunity, but even then it's understood to be a temporary push. For your information, I work in software and when something unexpected occurs that will affect customers we notify them ahead of time so they do not get pissed off or otherwise. CCP obviously is not going by that model though. I don't troll; I tell the truth. I'm also known as "The ANTI-Propaganda Machine".

After all, Sony only promised full support through 2015. As 2015 has ended, Sony has indeed started cutting services albeit minor ones for now; Facebook support, browser landing, PS3 console sales, etc. The cut of PS3 PSN support is eventually going to come as well. Now to that positive note... CCP has to know PS3 support is ending as well; even more detailed than those of us who merely play on the PS3. And Shanghai has had to work on something and it's not Gunjack so what do you think that could be? A port perhaps? ;D I don't troll; I tell the truth. I'm also known as "The ANTI-Propaganda Machine".
