I know CCP has heard this a lot, but Dust 514 just does not work on the PlayStation 3. I am really trying to like this game, it has a lot of promise, but lets be honest here; the PS3 hardware is holding it way back. It just is not up to the task of running a game like this. The hardware is too slow.

I like Dust 514, I just don't like the platform I have to play it on. The PS3 is too old, and all signs point to the PS4 coming out later this year anyways, so I really don't see the point in this game being a PS3 title at this point.

In this thread; a bunch of people who only own Dell computers, so a PS3 is their only hope of playing this anyways.

improved KB/M support would be nice. Let me map keys dammit!

Will be years before this game is ported to PS4, and then another 4-5 years where they have to support both the PS3 and PS4, thats gonna be a pain in the backside for them.

How many times do we have to say this, this isnt a game in the usual sense, its a BETA

Pretty much yeah. Lmao at anyone who thinks this will ever be ported to the PS4. .

CCP have been developing this game for 4.5 years, I'm sure they have a plan

Also, porting is a total remap of the code. the ps3 and ps4 will be similar and DUST will be able to play on both. (I think)

No they won't. Sony is almost 100% for sure dropping the cell processor in the PS3 in favor of something entirely new. Meaning there will be no backwards compatibility with PS3 titles, making a port of anything over to the PS4 very difficult. About the best you will be able to hope for is that playing on the PS4 means starting all over again on an entirely new client version of the game and new server. They won't be able to do cross platform play.

I don't know what is up with the butthurt idiots in this thread. Like I said, the game is actually really good, it's just its platform of choice sucks. I've had a PlayStation 3 since it first came out, I follow the system religiously, and know what its capable of. Dust 514 is pushing it well beyond what it was intended. Trust me when I say CCP made a terrible choice in developing this game for this system. Especially this late in the systems life.

Don't fool yourselves into thinking CCP has a backup plan when everyone moves over to the PS4, they do not.

You have no idea how programming works do you ?

Besides my pc has a Nvidia GTX 680 and i am GLAD its on console, Hacks, cheats & whatnot would have ruined it on PC.

Name ONE PC shooter that has no pay2win hacksites that deliver customers an undetectable cheat.

Its hilarious how many PRO guys ive come across in APB R, COD, BF3 but when you face them on a patchday (Ussually hacks dont work then or are detected) on that day those guys have Lag or can't play fer f*ck all.

Then when the hack is updated, they r back at PRO level, pre-firing around corners, no spread, no recoil, Wallhacks but most play with their hacks switched at realistic Awesome. It won't snap 360 degrees and it needs an aim lock but once locked it wont let go of the lock until dead.

What the **** are you even going on about?

This game can easily be on PC , But sony doesn't want competition with its own game.

Planetside 2 is another free to play FPS on PC by sony.

Its bad marketing and business for Sony if they have two free to plays on PC.

There are places you can pay a subscription fee to get hacks automatically for just about every major pc shooter out there. These sites have several dozen people tearing apart the game's code to get these hacks installed. Similar to the pc game key websites and the sorts.

1.2 million accounts beg to differ.



Yeeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhhh..... pretty sure they do.

Agreed, with the PS3 on the last leg of it's run and a possible announcement of a PS4 right around the corner, they have to have a plan for the PS4. Improved graphics, content, ect.

Exactly. Unreal Engine is always lauded for it's accessibility. UE3 will carry over to PS4. The Samaritan Demo released in 2011 revealed that the engine still has juice to be squeezed from it: Samaritan Demo (Youtube)

After a few years I suspect the game will migrate engines (as has happened with EVE) to UE4. I'm sure UE3-to-UE4 will be a smooth transition. Unreal Engine 4 (Youtube)

The game is built on the Unreal 3 engine, which is famous for how modifiable it is. They'll have to do a bit of work to get it to work on the PS4 I guess, but it will obviously be possible. They wouldn't have made the game for the PS3 if they didn't expect to be able to port it to the PS4.

And anyway, they'll eventually port it to the PC. It's just a matter of time.

Dust will not be ported to PC. Can you leave your tears in this cup for me? I'm thirsty.

Precisely what this is. This is a "PC gamur" (not PC player) who is trying a more subtle approach to the flat out, blatant whining by other gamurz that the game isn't on their platform. It's not a lament that "PS3 doesn't have the tools to run this game"; It's just veiled as such.
