Lol they just want PS3 players to come play..... And in a press release noone that its aimed at cares about the minute details
The bit i think is interesting though,,, is that twice it mentions the full game releasing later this fall..... hadnt we all reluctantly given up on that dream??
I think everyones too quick to criticise Sony..... They know better than anyone how to sell this game to their users, so CCP would be wise to let them take the lead on this if they so wish.... Remember this is console gaming, so updates arent as easy and builds need to be solid before release. Just thank your lucky stars its not Microsoft, who seemingly wont even let developers update their games for serious flaws (see FEZ),,, Sony would never do this.
As a purely Playstation gamer (anyone who plays dust doesnt need to be promoted at,, since you all have keys) the ONLY way to access the beta for FREE is through PS+,,, therefore it is exclusive.
Ever get the feeling this forum is like a 24hour news channel??? Never enough news to broadcast so we all get lost in speculation and unnecessary criticism |

Its only unnecessary if you think bad PR is acceptable. And what would it have taken to avoid the problem? Email it to ANYONE at CCP before posting it. Its not difficult.
Well,,, if thats the case i'd more question CCP on why the copy wasnt right...... PSN's bigger than one game, the press releases have deadlines and developers have to tell them what they want included....... and as was said earlier.... this implies the new build is significant, since they wouldnt start proper PSN promotions, so it's blatantly being pushed by CCP to get more native Playstation users involved..... It's not Sony's job to chase the developers,,, your tone implies you think Sony are benefitting from this promotion, rather than CCP wanting this to gauge how much interest there really is??? I'm sure they both want it,,,, but there's no way this was rushed out without CCP being all over it,,,, its a MAJOR step for this game being included in PS+
Personally I think its fine for getting people interested,,,, who the F cares which server we'll be chatting on, or whether there's another way to get the game free if you pay for a different game on different platform??? I really believe all the Eve players will want to voice chat with Dust players who dont understand the Universe anyway lol |

EXCLUSIVE ACCESS
IT IS EXCLUSIVE ACCESS...... you get it free ahead of all other PS3 users (apart for those who have either paid for it,,, or paid for eve).... The word 'exclusive' doesnt mean noone else has access to it,,,, the term here refers to PS3 users as a whole and highlighting the benefits of having PS+... It isn't technically misleading in the context which it is published, and the people that this release is aimed at (ie people who have no idea about the Eve universe, and are serious gamers on their ps3),,,
IN regards to servers,,, The benefit of extra information/knowledge quite regularly casts doubts over promotions in general doesnt it?? Its just the way things work,,, and no ps3 gamer cares what server its on,,, its still marketed under a Beta after all |
