lightening effects have improved

Looks exactly the same as we have now, it's why all the screenshots to this game do more justice than what is actually displayed

These screens are a single frame and dusts problems have mostly stemmed from not having a good frame rate. These are the same effects in game right now and it's all the same stuff we've seen for a year. We never focus on these single frames so you've misrepresented the design bc these effects take multiple frames that have not been added or tweaked

What another let down

What another let down

Nice stuff again.

One thought I got looking at the screenshot is about the HMG. I just find it strange that the fire seem to be going sideway, not really exiting the chamber. I would see more something like at 2:26 in this video(center fire more intense in the middle and shape).
minigun fire

you can also notice the gun heat builtup in that video at 1:48.

I am just concerned that if the HMG has fire like in the screenshot, we wont see a thing while shooting.

This just feels like a poor attempt at MAG. The graphics are getting better slowly but you guys are pulling in players from all kinds of backgrounds that are turning around and deleting this game because of the graphics and no attachment customization for weapons or cosmetic customization of weapons.

CCP has too much control here. Players want to be able to make a Merc their own and unique. This game just looks like what CCP wants to play and a handful of EVE followers.
If thats what your goal is more power to you but this game is Free to Play for a reason and that is how gamers are going to look at it. It is free, not dropsuit modifications by user, no attachments for weapons for a truly custom game play feel for the user, the possibilities within a class seem quite narrow, that's it.
I really hope CCP doesn't become know as the company that set out to accomplish something unprecedented and blew it completely.

For users that play only Dust, do you really think we care about EVE online? You just created an attached addition for Eve players with a PS3. For gamers that are strictly PS3 gamers you are running at full sprint in the wrong direction. You seriously need to take a few chapters from Call of Duty, Battlefield or hell any game on PS3 that fires a bullet for that matter. This looks like an over-glorified Nova mini from PSN.
The best thing I have seen happen that I was so wow'ed about is where yesterday when I logged on I had almost a million unallocated skill points and this was due to a CCP bang up as usual for not counting Passive SP properly.

For some strange reason these look like... Improved graphics. It might just be my eyes fooling me though

We've spent a lot of effort ...

Most worse information from any time about DUST.
Does fully not meet real ingame situation.

Or, baybe , someone play another version of dust?

Here real in-game screenshots:

- Great! We have brocken LR skils, and only 3 LR & knife. No Amarr heavy weapons & technics, wrong skill description, freaze game, bugs, toons of first-round problems, ... and what? - we do that players not see!

Yo mister troll, you're doing it wrong.
But in case you are not a troll - it is obvious that these are upcoming effects to the game and not current ones.

spent a lot of effort

these are PS4 graphic leaked! (jk)

Weren't we told that this Dev Blog would be gameplay related?

Was I the only one who noticed that one of those screen shots was in an ambush match with a clone count of 100v100? =D

I agree, these do NOT look like the graphics we are running on now (though I use an SD TV, but I doubt it would make this much of a difference).

I'm thinking that either this is a CCP-only version that gets dumbed down for the PS3, or else we're getting a graphics boost next build :D

Well, I appreciate the thought that went into the "plasma swirls" on the AR, but expulsions from the sun are a HORRIBLE analogy to what would happen around the barrel of a rifle discharging plasma rounds.

The plasma will try to form a somewhat curved path along field lines to the nearest ground, which would probably be the outside of the barrel. I'll attach a couple of photos of what I mean.


Here the plasma has just started to form, from left to right. Tendrils are shooting out toward the walls of the containment. If the containment were not there they would extend further out in every direction :
Plasma forming

As the plasma is conductive, more power is now flowing through the center of the arc. The tendrils weaken and split :
Tendrils splitting

As yet more power flows in and strengthens the main arc, the smaller tendrils coalesce and separate. These tendrils would still be looping back out the sides to the left of the screen if the containment were not there :
Weakened tendrils

Finally all of the energy will be flowing through the central arc which by then will be a very bright white. The tendrils will dissipate completely:
Completed arc


Now, make it right, Luo Bin!


P.S
Sorry for the poor picture quality, you try taking cell phone pictures of plasma as it forms! :P

210 Shield 120 armor using Hmg and Forgegun

um that's why they released a dev bog showing the new effects they made....

also you should of pointed out that none f the guns in the dev blog are using up ammo. Which makes them seem even more fake :P

Or it could be the new build. After all check where they moved the charge and overheat indicators.
Btw forge gun as a new model/texture map as do all guns shown in the blog...
Also if you hanged out in IRC you'd know they where considering more suit customization options such as trading in Light and Side Arms for a Heavy Slot, or multiple grenade slots.
The UI has been noised down a bit too. The Comm building looks like has been reskinned to account for people being on top of the damn thing allt he time.

maybe those are screen shots of the PS4 build?

I doubt CCP has acess to a ps4 yet to test that on so i highly doubt it.

Speculative speculation is speculative!

To my eyes all the still pictures released by CCP seem like the game was paused and PS3 was given 1min time to process all the textures and effects.

Sadly, I don't believe that quality is ever gonna be possible on PS3 on live action.
I wish it would be possible, but I'm afraid people are going to expect too much.
