DUST Search - Announcement:The Future of DUST 514

CCP Frame wrote:

Dear DUST 514 Community,

CCPGÇÖs development team in Shanghai has been working on a prototype for a first-person shooter for PC with the goal of building a great FPS set in our sci-fi universe of New Eden (the universe in which EVE Online, DUST 514, EVE: Valkyrie, and Gunjack are set). Their experience is being utilized to build a new game from scratch using Unreal Engine 4 while harnessing all our learnings from DUST 514. This is in many ways an evolution of Project Legion, the concept we announced at EVE Fanfest 2014, but without the limitations of technical debt and development paths we quickly discovered in that effort that could never serve as a future-proof technology base for a full production game. This new project is still in an early phase of production, and we feel like weGÇÖre on the right track and plan to give an update at EVE Fanfest on April 21st as a part of the free livestream of the event. Since this new game will be different from DUST 514 (although keeping many of its great parts), we will provide tiered recognition rewards to our loyal DUST customers, details to be announced.

We are very proud of what weGÇÖve learned and accomplished with DUST 514 on PlayStation 3 over the past three years and it is an honor to be a part of such a dedicated community. We consider DUST 514 one of the best free-to-play offerings on the platform, but the years have caught up with us. It is with a heavy heart that we inform you that DUST 514 will be shutting down on May 30th, 2016. We therefore will not be releasing the 1.3 update as we had planned. Players will continue to be able to play for free on our servers until then, but all further PSN packs and purchases have been removed and disabled from the in-game marketplace and the PlayStation Store. Players with existing Aurum will be able to continue to purchase items from the in-game marketplace.

Thank you for being a part of DUST 514 on the PlayStation 3. We look forward to the next chapter, and hope youGÇÖll be a part of it and continue the journey with us.

CCP's argument for Dust 514 being PS3 only: "there are 80M PS3's out there so our "laser focus" is on the PS3". Thank god CCP finally woke up, realized how short sighted it was. I just hope they fired the guy who came up with that stupid argument on a 10 year old console. PC Masterrace

I am going to follow the K.I.S.S. rules Keep It Simple Stupid . How about Un-Nerf or Buff everything from start. it would definitely be fun to watch. Also how about having the ability to have a 6 to 8 man squad in Pub Matches also bring back the ability to join a squad during a match. Myself I wished the would took a cue from DC Universe online and launch a game side by side that way people could port over. Ur Freaking Kidding Me!!!

First, and the CPM might be able to confirm, but there has been turn over at CCP Shanghai since that laser focused statement. The same devs who worked on DUST during that time period may not be working on the new PC game. Second, by most accounts the problem wasn't with the devs so much as weak leadership and abysmal project management. It doesn't matter how good your devs are, if they aren't being coordinated well you are going to get... well... DUST 514. And finally, PC is easier to develop for. Period. Patches can be released on CCP's timetable, not Sony's. CCP has been developing for PC for, what, 10+ years now. It's their home turf and what they are the most familiar with. As long as we speculating about the future there are just as many reasons to be cautiously optimistic as there are to be salty. #PortDust514
Skihids Random Gunz The-Office 3	Posted - 2016.02.18 00:04:00 - [792] - Quote This bitter old vet is cautiously optimistic. I was sold on the promise of DUST 514, large coordinated battles that would make a lasting difference in the EVE universe. Complex fittings with a huge array of skills to give it depth, and a persistence mechanism to make losses mean something. We got some of that, but too much was lost to PS3 limitations and management failures. I fell in love with Dropships from the first day they were transformed from automatic elevators into a true ship that required skill to fly. I lived through the many joys and frustrations as CCP attempted to balance them, but in the end they just couldn't do it. They couldn't make vehicles what they should be because they couldn't give them unique roles that didn't compete one-on-one with a dropsuit. Thus for balance purposes a vehicle could only be as powerful as a single suit. It is my hope that in the next incarnation they learn from these mistakes and the passion of my fellow pilots and drivers. We generated hundreds of posts and I hope they mine those for wisdom. As fun as it is to play on the PS3 while sitting on the couch, the console is simply too limiting a platform for a game of this scope. Some have claimed that the PC is a bad choice due to competition and hackers, but I don't see that as insurmountable. EVE: Phoenix doesn't have to have all the polish of the other shooters because it has all the elements I mentioned above. DUST was never the best shooter on the PS3, but we all stuck with it for all its unique qualities. A true integration with EVE would be enough to make it thrive even with the competition. From what I've read it won't cost much for the hardware needed to run it, and you can always hook it up to the TV so it won't feel all that different from the PS3. I would love to see the game support VR for those of us with the hardware, without making it mandatory, but that means they would have to develop with VR in mind so as to make the movement system not guaranteed to make you sick in VR. Maybe we will yet get to experience the original vision.
Kelnarn RoyalSquad514 0	Posted - 2016.02.18 04:17:00 - [793] - Quote So, I've played EvE for years with my friends and my son, I bought 2 PS3s so my son and I could run around together on the ground like we do in space. We've stayed through the good and bad of the game even putting up with horrible nerfs and buffs to things and now, after investing thousands of dollars into the game (not counting the PS3s themselves) the thing is going down with the promise of some sort of tiered rewards for loyal dusties? So " Since this new game will be different from DUST 514 (although keeping many of its great parts), we will provide tiered recognition rewards to our loyal DUST customers, details to be announced." here's a suggestion 1. Port the existing characters over to the new game complete with compatible or converted to match the new game items and isk/aur + their current sp 2. Offer the ability to become an EvE pilot with isks and aur + sp equivalent to a comparable EvE pilot. I just hate to see 7 characters that have been invested in heavily, or the RL dollars that was spent on them go to waste. o/ Keln

RemingtonBeaver Fatal Absolution Bleeding Sun Conglomerate 2	Posted - 2016.02.18 12:35:00 - [795] - Quote Had a great time. Made a lot of friends that exist past my time playing the game. To this day I haven't had a better 1st person shooter experience. I played the Halo games, CODs, Battlefields, and more recently Battlefront and none of them gave even a fraction of the experience that Dust 514 did. Sure I had my gripes, I bitched about the broken pieces, the exploits, the community being mostly bastards, and frame rates you could watch movies in between, but I loved the game. I played it for 3 years, damn near religiously FFS! Way back in the day I convinced the Dev team I could cloak a tank, only to troll them with a picture of an HAV wearing a green riding cloak. I was banned from the forums once for 3 months and couldn't wait to come back. I did some artwork for the game and won enough ISK in contests to run proto and officer gear full time despite being one of the weakest players to ever reach the levels I did. Started in PRO Went to Molon, became part of leadership there, watched the player base dissolve Was vetted into Fatal Absolution, we dominated PC for a while, then after Christmas damn near everyone left. I'll be there for the next incarnation for sure. In the meantime I have a wasteland to save. Thanks for all the fish!

It was fun while it lasted, but ultimately has been held back by the previous generation console hardware. Best of luck CCP, make the next one a good one Scrub-a-dub-dub

All my loyalty towards Dust 514 on PC+Ps3 and the respect I had for CCP for taking such a step, falters. I am a console only player, and with the time and money and dedication to the game I love, finding out the upgrade obsoletes us loyal console players is terrible. As well as everyone who plays the yet to be released for PC already having recognized rewards while I miss out is honest unfair. It was a great run. The game continued to amaze me. And never again will I get to play another "Dust", or the new one when it releases. Thanks, and farewell.
