You'll be able to stream ps3 games on your ps4, so playing dust on ps4 will not be an issue at all. Wait for a few hours more for detailed announcement on playstation site.

ok sounds good .. love this game and want to carry over my merc to ps4 when I get a ps4 later on..

This seems to have a lot of people confused and it probably has to do with the dearth of MMOs on consoles. Tranquilty, the server EVE/Dust run on is one New Eden universe. Logging in on PC/PS3/PS4 makes no difference. Your mercenary data is cached by CCP and should not be affected in anyway when swapping between systems. As I understand it, Dust will continue to be playable on PS3 for quite a while, alongside PS4. This means most battles will be "cross-generational." Maybe the PS4 will have exclusive contracts with higher player counts, or higher res textures, but it'll still be the same core build and part of the same New Eden. Eventually the ambitions of the game will exceed PS3's capability and it will become exclusively PS4, but that is probably quite a while away.

Apart from a graphics boost I doubt there will be much difference between the two versions, I dont see ccp punishing those who stick with the ps3 by giving the ps4 better game options like larger team sizes and such things, it will split the player base and IMO this is the one thing that kills most FPS games .

I assuming i dont have to go into how every DLC just divides the player base and reduces the number of people you can play with. If ccp does anything to split the player base up it will be the beginning of the end for dust as it becomes to enticing for companies to produce more DLC to get extra cash without thinking of the long term,

I doubt they will do this though as ccp were smart enough not to make corps choose a FW side to fight with as this would of seperate the player base into 4 sides with each side only able to fight one other and no cross over.

its not punishing those who dont get the ps4, its rewarding the people who do in my opinion. But think of it this way. MAG had a player cap of 256 people. The game has a lot less features then this game, but at the end of the day it all worked. Give CCP time to refine their engine and im sure things will be similar in size to that game, because the ps3 has proven that it can handle that. Once they break the 100 player cap does it really matter how many people are allowed in a match at that point? I have faith that in a few years it wont matter what the player cap is anymore, it'll be like eve in that what matters is how many people each side can field.

But nobody's getting a console that wont ever exist. There are no fours...four is Shi, and calling the next playstation a PS4 is a bad bad thing. Is the console gonna kill sony? No, so everyone needs to knock off the four business.

So uh, that makes it ok for people to curse a product in their ignorance?

do you think ccp will drag their feet on developing this game on ps3 just so they can work on the ps4 version? With ps4 on horizon I wonder how much they will put into the ps3 or will they just focuse on coding for ps4.. what about our stats etc will they carry over to ps4 version?

the real question is because someones culture and meaning on things is different then yours that makes them ignorant? Maybe this will be "Shi" for Sony calling it by numbers and the next console after PS4 will just be called PlayStation.
