Transformers: War for Cybertron
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron

How were these not on the list?

Wow I'm impressed by that line up...

So the fact I don't enjoy any.of those games/series prove that a number of underclass and marginally popular games were made on this.

However I may think those games arnt worth the effort to pick up most of dust issue are related to programming not the engine. Most of the problems from lag hit detection other server issues are cuased by poor engine allocation, the ps3 has the power ccp isn't used to having a define power though

I know it's won things and all, But when a company develops a game, It's nice to see them use their own engine. I also
know some companies can't afford to create their own engine to. It's like food, You can buy a cake in the shop, but if you make it yourself it taste better.

EDIT. mass effect one was really buggy.

As much as I would love to see CCP use their own engine, since Carbon is sexy as hell; UE3 will allow them to port to PS4 and maybe even PC (someday) with very little effort. PS3 isn't exactly simple to develop for, but UE3 provides a lot of time saving tools for cross platform builds, as well as some excellent features for scalability.

UE3 is indeed a rather useful engine, but it isn't built for handling a game like this. That fact is part of why I'm intrigued to see how well they've done so far. I'm personally looking forward to them dropping UE for their own in-house engine as they suggested they intend to do. I'd love to see a high-tech Trinity 3.0 running EVE, Dust, and WoD.

I'd have to agree with necro here. Yeah, there are some beautiful games on the PS3 system, and there are plenty that use the UE3. However, an overwhelming majority of those games are campaign games only. And for those that do have multiplayer capabilities, they are generally no where near as expansive as this game.

When the system tries to run a game like say COD, it has to take into consideration a few things and open up "packs" that contain these things so they can be used in the game. These include the different weapons, different attachments, kill streaks, and a couple perks that might affect your characters physical performance.

Now think in terms of Dust's pack size. It has to load in packs that contain over 100 different weapons, and eventually each will have different attachments, vehicles each with dozens of weapons and over 100 modules that affect their performance and survivability, each one fitted uniquely, dropsuits that have over 100 different modules that affect your performance and survivability, again each one fitted uniquely, and 100's of skills, each different for each player, several of which have to be used in conjunction with the skills of the other players and calculated accordingly on the fly.

Dust has so much it has to process at any given time that quite frankly, it's incredible they've gotten this far on the limitations the PS3 infringes, (256 MB RAM? You can buy the Raspberry Pi computer for 35$ and it has double that, or upgrade my desktop to 8 gigs for $40.)
