Beats me.

What i'd like to know is if Dust keeps going in the PS3 alongside a possible new PS4 update or if said update would do away with the PS3 version.

Yes.
Most of the technical limitations of dust and other titles is because of the 1/2 gb of ram, considering ps4 has 8gb of ram it's going to be next to limitless.
The reason bf3 was so scaled down for consoles was the lack of ram on ps3 and 360. Had they have released bf3 on the next gen consoles then there would be 64 players like pc, and visually there would be next to no difference between bf3 on pc and consoles.

Again with this... learn more about consoles.

- Game consoles use RAM more efficiently than PC's

- PC's needs more RAM to run the operating system, and any programs attach to it.

- Ram in consoles, runs about 5 times faster than your standard ram.

Go it ?

It's been stated by both ccp and dice (among others) that they have been restricted to what they wanted to do because of the technical limitations of current gen consoles. More ram = more freedom, 8gb = future proof.

'Learn more about consoles'? Listen kid, I've been gaming since pong, so I think I've had more than enough time to 'learn about consoles'
I have almost every console released, from NES to neo geo, from sega master system to dreamcast, so don't insult my intelligence.

GOT IT?????

Sorry mate, but you make it sound like the PS3 is a rubbish machine.

One word : Crysis 3

Out in PS3 and Xbox 360, why they will release the game NOW, if they think that the PS4 is going to be allot better ?

Look at the game-play videos, and you talk me how rubbish the game looks.

Skyrim and the Fallout games

Sorry i'm a bit confuse about that.......

Both games are "Huge" and beautiful .... which kind of proves my point.

What IM curious about is whether or not ccp will switch engine from unreal 3 to carbon, considering ps4 will technically be able to run carbon, or would they switch to unreal 4.
I expect they WILL switch engine at some point considering they did it with eve. I guess we will have to wait and see

Your worry is coming at the game from the wrong angle. Rather than worrying about how easy it'll be to port Unreal to PS4 (very easy), worry about how the limitations of that engine are going to gimp the game on a next-gen platform.

We'll all be terribly hype about 1080p/60fps Dust for a while, but if we're still getting stuck on mountain polygons because we're all a bunch of rudimentary collision boxes with hitscan weapons, the game will rapidly start to look dated compared to proper next-gen titles that take advantage of newer, better engines that aren't based on 2005-era features.

Fallout on ps3 tanked.
Skyrim on ps3 had that huge issue that made the game lag beyond playability due to low ram, and skyrim on ps3 will not be getting all of the expansions because of the ram.
Need I go on fanboy?

Now that's what I like, the above 3 posters, it's nice to have sensible mature responses, thanks guys.

Panther alpha take note

The Issue actually existed since Fallout 3, it just didn't become obvious till the game started getting DLC. The biggest problem was that the PS3 has a very small amount of memory that gets used for the games themselves, most of it's memory gets used for graphics and running the OS.

The point is that the PS3 limits what developers can currently do because of they have to find ways to work around the PS3s system limitations. Here's more about The Skyrim/Fallout issue http://gamasutra.com/blogs/GlenJoyner/20121014/179348/Outofmemory_Skyrims_PS3_woes_examined.php.

I agree, they are. I wasn't responding to the OP, i was responding to you 1/2 ram comment.

That's what I've been saying in my previous posts dude

Most of that was directed at Panther lol

I don't want to spoil you little party..

But both Fallout, and Skyrim are Bethesda games...and is other similar games in the PS3 that don't have that "Specific" problems.... just saying.

If Bethesda was the problem, then explain why the 360 version doesn't have the same problems? The PS3 has issues, get over it. No one is insulting your console.

I have both, PS3 and Xbox 360. I also have a Xbox, PS2, PS1, Sega Saturn.....etc. I enjoy all of them for different reasons.

To answer you other comment:

Final Fantasy XIII, Red Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Auto IV, The Witcher 2, Far Cry 3... to say few. They all run fine.

So maybe "it is" something wrong with the way Bethesda ported the games to the PS3.

The engines are continuously updated. There is no "next gen" engine coming. New games will primarily be built using the unreal, cryengine and a few others no matter what platform they're pushed out on.

Dust will be on ps3 and ps4 simultaneously. While that's going on there will be no difference between the ps3 and ps4 versions.
They will continue to support ps3 as long as they can, when ps3 goes the way of ps2 vs ps3 (slowly fizzled out) they will switch support to ps4 24/7. Only THEN will we see a difference. So expect support for both consoles for at leaste 2 years
