It isn't a matter of want..


THERE ARE ALREADY K+M PLAYERS IN DUST AND EVERY OTHER FPS GAME ON THE PS3.


I am not sure why the above is too complicated for 95% of you to understand. You can't keep keyboard and mouse players out.



And rest assured, if there is any way to gain an advantage using a mouse + keyboard you can expect 100% to have them used against you when you go up against serious null sec Eve Corps.

In Eve anyone who fails to use EVERY single advantage they can under some sort of e-honor code will get crushed by the ones willing to do ANYTHING to win.

If you think this is some Eve-player chest beating, you are wrong. It is just the plain truth of the mentality of the successful Eve players.


I haven't even brought up what the Russian players in Eve are capable of. They once cut power to someones house so that they could kill his titan when he went linkdead (titans take months of REAL TIME to make and are extremely valuable).

PS3 has full kb/m support so why wouldn't you use it to its fullest? That's like having a V8 and only allowing it to run on 6 cylinders. That's just plain stupid.

Considering they can run this game off the exact servers being used for Eve (which is quite profitable for them), I suspect they can keep this game online so that the 20k or so Eve players can use it as another metagame for Eve.

With or without the inclusion of KB&M (Keyboard & Mouse), certain segments of the available market will face barriers to entry.

PC KB&M-diehard barrier to entry: Buying a PS3 console. ($300)
PS3 player barrier to entry: Buying a KB&M. ($20)

It's not the players who need to adapt or die... it's Dust. And it's adapting.

I really don't care what some horse & buggy anti-car luddites think because they don't want to shell out to adapt to the way FPS gaming evolved. I am amused to see them touting 'adapt or die' when they're the ones who should be acting on that mantra.

Learn how to use KB&M NOW, while you're in on the ground-floor. Because PC port WILL happen - maybe not in a year, maybe not in two, but it's inevitable. And when it does, you will rage so much harder that newbie scrubs are melting your well-geared faces. "But my technologically inferior brothers in arms will rage-quit about how it's harder for us now, and CCP will HAVE to listen!"
Yeah... sure. CCP always caters to players who quit their games because they're too hard.
...Heh.

Adapt to the playstyle of the future.

if they ported it to pc then they would lose most of there ps3 players, i can guarentee that. ccp say we made a exclusive for console so you guys can make your own stories in new eded, then they turn on us, add m/kb to console, then port it to the pc, i think that would be one stupid descision. first to add m/kb support to a ps3 game then port it to pc. you know how angry the ps3 community would get. and if they did put it on pc they would have to put eve on console.

Lol, it's basic economics.
