Also I am curious if people think or agree with me that there is a danger that wether people like to admit it or not console players are simply not as committed or hardcore as PC players when it comes to a game franchise. Now I should know because I played wow solidly for 5 years before now playing only on the PS3 for the most part. There is a much smaller % of players on console who will really commit to a game as far as I have seen it, and I think a title would have to be very strong in order to hold a console community thats workable.

That for me is a major concern when it comes to DUST, im not trying to be overly pessimistic because I think the concept and premise of DUST 514 is really amazing and I think it speaks volumes for CCP that they have the vision and strength as developers to push this title into reality.

If its done right it could be the beginning of a whole new chapter in console gaming, I hope that's how dust turns out.

I have thougt about that my self for the better part of 6 months and ive come to the conclusions that theres plenty of commiting players out there playing games like call of duty that practically forces u to buy a new one every 6 months and im also shure that once they get the taste of an fps as good if not better then cod that is f2p and doesnt require $60 at the nerest walmart inorder to get the updates that really count towards gameplay they and there wallets will find that dust is a game theyll play for hours and days.

Keep in mind that there are very very few (if any? I can't remember seeing one) titles for the ps3 that are "ongoing". That is, currently, a new game is released which is played by the user base until a new title comes out to replace it. ongoing games are more commonplace on the PC (in regards to MMO's). DUST has an "ongoing" game structure much like PC based MMO's, which as far as i can tell (could be wrong) no other game for the ps3 has attempted. So to state that console gamers are not as "committed" is a bit premature in my eyes; console gamers have not been provided an opportunity to commit to a game where progress is discretely measured. I think this area is widely untested and I will be interested to see how the console gaming community responds

When people talk about Dust feeling sluggish, it's not purely because the game is 'slow' compared to faster twitch shooters, but because the Unreal engine is notorious for having a floaty, weightless feel to it by default. A large part of this is that nearly all the player movement is essentially faked. Your gun does not exist, your player model does not exist, to the engine you're nothing more than a box with a series of fancy animations to make it seem otherwise. Unless those animations are REALLY fancy, and the transitions between them are SUPER smooth, you're going to get some of that "I'm a sliding box" feeling bleed through into the game. Right now in Dust the cracks are clearly visible and frequently break the illusion of being a big heavy robot suit.

It's not that Dust is 'too slow', as much as the engine isn't currently punchy enough to make you feel the reason for that is your own weight.

Better graphics may lead to poor gameplay. Keep in mind that unlike other PS3 titles with high graphics, this game is a multiplayer title with large number. More graphics mean more the PS3's limited hardware has to do. Which leads to sacrifice in gameplay. I rather have better gameplay than better graphics.
