Unreal engine was made for x86 architecture, then ported to PS3. PS4 uses x86 the engine was originally made for, so it should be very easy to make it work on PS4. About as hard as getting windows version of eve to run on mac or linux instead of windows. This easy port could be part of why they choose Unreal3 engine to begin with.
Games with engines made for ps3 will be a pain to port. Then it is probably save to say that ccp was using ps3-Dust just for testing, hyping, balancing and so on, and that the ps4-Dust will have all the promising features. This would be a very horrible thing. Features like pve content, group pve, very different maps, more players, other map, environment changing, and so on, you know? All the things which should have been in the official release, right from the start. Console gamers are not use to half done things. On the other hand, Dust is nearly free to playGǪ you only need to pay money if you like to win from time to time *troll*.
No no no you are going into crazy land. I produce games in unreal 3 listen to me for a second.
Sony has confirmed, months ago now, that any game made in unreal 3, unreal 4, unity will run nativity, as easy as running the same games on windows. Meaning it won't even need to be ported, you just run unreal 3, and you're good.
That's it no hassel. The biggest feature of the PS4 it it's open hardware. If you make a game on your pc in unreal 3 *which is free btw*and pay the fees obviously, you can put your game for sale on sony's PS4. It's allready just that easy to release games on xbox or Vita, Android.
So step one stop freaking about dust running on PS4. Now good news! Unreal 3 can run in 1080p, the ps3 can't do this for dust. BUT, with 0 changes to the game the PS4 WILL RUN DUST IN 1080. This isn't a reveal it's a fact of the Software. It's a law of graphics rendering that can not be denied.
so yay!
Second, saving the features? They have 100 devs and will increase that number as we spend more money. Let me paint you the REAL goal this game is going for in 5 years. You will be able to freely explore planets for PvE. Every planet will ne randomly generated *think minecraft* Eve online itself was seeded with the number 42 :P Now whats awesome is in eve the planets were allready randomly generated. Every planet in eve is randomly generated height maps for it's normal maps already.
In five years you will be able to crawl on every foot of your drists that you own. Fighting and hunting down rouge drones to protect your biuldings and highway networks. They showed us the 3d models for highway components, meaning faster travel between bases for large 128v128 maps Or 128v Drones battles.
Now it gets better we get anti gravity combat, we get to kill eve ships from the inside, All guns are built however you want them from modular parts. Take a look all weapons are built on the same pieces already. Future proofing, smart.
Fighter jets, bombers, jetbikes, gaint tanks, Train Titans *in the eve art book in the dust section btw* Basically giant tanks you have to climb inside to kill. Sandbox null sec, Low sec is easy mode, high sec is random battles. It's brilliant. Oh and we are also getting Gaint robot mecha suits at some point too : )
CCP are going to make this game with a ten year vision already laid out. I look forward to breaching A titan in my Jovian Heavy Suit while wearing VR googles on my face.
And I look forward to the tears my invested isk it took me to take down a ship worth 15,000$ in real world money. From a free to play console game that has been getting raphical updates for the past 10 years.
You say it can't happen but I'm staring at eve right now. They said it wouldn't last ten years, but there is! |

Maybe he just hasn't been shown yet what CCP can do with dust, each build is admittedly a large improvement, if unfocused
Also I'm a console gamer, I've got nes, snes, n64, ps1, ps2, ds, vita, ps3 , and I played eve for 8 years.... |
