5k is pretty poor. Especially for a console with a massive install base.
No other way to spin it. You are out of your mind if you think numbers this low are good or fine.
MAG was hitting about 15-20k concurrent users upon launch. Zipper tried to relaunch in and it did nothing to boost the size of the community.
Console shooters tend to have a very short shelf-life. Several games of late, games with a much better FPS mechanics then Dust, are a wasteland.
First impressions are everything. It has to make a big impact right out of the gate.
I don't think Dust is good enough and I think it'll get savaged in reviews in the next few weeks. |

Assume everyone spends only 1 hour playing each day. 24 x 5000 = 120,000 Assume that, because it was a weekday that the new build dropped, we can double that number to count people on weekends. 120,000 x 2 = 240,000 Where did you get 300,000 from? I love how you come up with a purely speculative number based on rough and uneducated factors and then ask where another poster got their speculative numbers from lol. DUST 514 is still in beta. Just you watch, when CCP starts building and advertising GLADIATOR mode, PvE Rogue Drone mode, EVE ship boarding Penetration mode and zero gravity matches in a game with tanks, jeeps, attack ships, fighter jets, bikes and mechs...for FREE on PS3, Vita and PS4 (its gonna happen). Haha @ Doom n Gloomers. Little to no future vision. :)
It came out of beta a couple of days ago. This is the release build.
The game is not coming to Vita.

It is officially launching on the 14th is what I am getting at. Eveything bar fighting is coming to the Vita. We will probabyl get fighting on Vita with PS4's capabilities. So if you're going to split hairs...'is getting a Vita companion app'. :)
Keywords: Probably, Everything, Bar, Fighting.
So it's getting an app. An app that no one has seen or heard of in months.
Yeah. |

I am surprised but happy they gave us a player count tool on login. The highest I saw the player count get in E3 was 3k. The highest I've seen so far this build is 4.5k. I am amazed that this game is FREE and hardly anyone is playing it. It's new, it's different, it's an FPS so why aren't more people jumping on the miniscule bandwagon to play the game? I seriously don't understand why the player count is so low. One thing post E3 that made the game fun again was all the influx of new blood, I was tired of seeing the same 300 people in my games (still am). But for a week or so it was nothing but new people in the player lists and it was great.

Essentially, while our launch is on the 14th, we are not going to be doing a full marketing push on the game until further down the line. We believe in taking a more grassroots approach to marketing our games rather than a full on marketing blitz. Quote from here: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=73815 I understand they want to build this game the way they did EVE. I just don't know if the FPS player base will stick around the way the PC player base did.
It's because it's not very good as a shooter and it's inpenetrable for newcomers.
Incredibly simple. |
