We see that there may be some unexpected upside on PS3. As people begin to save up their cash to buy that PS4, a free-to-play shooter on PS3 that they can just invest time into, and not that much cash, sounds like a pretty good proposition.

on may 6th, the new build of DUST 514, titled "Uprising" Rolls out. On May 14, the game launches, and we get the first patch of the uprising build, which will introduce the Scrambler Rifle, Flaylock Pistol, and Plasma Cannon, as well as new maps, and a new game mode.

Thus, Uprising will be the first build in DUST's long, storied history that is yet to be written.

Orin's statement was absolutely correct.

Uprising patch on the 6th.

Launch on the 14th (because 5/14 was too good to pass up).

It will be awesome.

@meri jin, you are over thinking things.

Uprising is due May 6th. There are more updates coming quickly. This is a large release and I would expect it to be spread out over some time. May 14th is supposedly new maps and weapons. Which one they call a new build (not a patch, btw) or a release doesn't really matter.

So, relax. May 6th is happening.

I really wish that CCP is joking about leaving DUST 514 for a GÇ£longer periodGÇ¥ of time on the PS3 while people are GÇ£saving up money for the ps4GÇ¥. I start 3 clients of eve online simultaneously faster than starting DUST on my PS3. And maybe no one told CCP that gamers have grown up now. Saving up for PS4? Really :)? IGÇÖm going to buy this ****** on first day, and you will have a very hard time to convince me to start my PS3 back up for something other than Dark Souls / Dark Souls 2.
Yes I know exactly that not everyone have the money to buy it on the very first time, all IGÇÖm trying to say is: the time is over where the majority of games have to beg their parents to buy product xyz.

1) there is no reason why the game could not operate on both the PS3 and the PS4 at the same time. That statement was made to relieve people who were concerned CCP would drop support for the PS3 and force them to upgrade if they wanted to keep playing.

2) the Uprising client will start about 3x faster than it does now.

Can you confirm that Planetary Conquest and the SP refund happens on the 6th, while the 3 new weapons are coming the 14th?

And if that's right, can you consider changing that? Because if PC and SP refund happens the 6th people have to hold onto their SP if they want to skill into the new weapons?

PS4 arcitecture is to diffrent for game made for ps3 to run on, yes.

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*.

Well well, I can only hope for this to happen :) @ crazy space 1. Nice posting +1
I play eve for about 4 or 5 years now, and IGÇÖm getting a little bored right now and IGÇÖm thinking about giving up on that.
It would be so nice if I could connect to the world of new Eden true dust. Hope this game can make it.
And I hope it wonGÇÖt be as time consuming as eve right now.
