With ps4 right around the corner and a player base averaging at around 7000 at peak times this game is dust unless ccp can work some magic. If he listened and acted upon the the advice /suggestions of players on this forum Dust would have a bright but short lived future. I personally like the game, but it could be so much better.

I actually think it's a pretty fair review. 6/10 isn't even a bad score (although obviously lacklustre for a game intended to be a triple-A experience). He found some aspects of the game delivered well (e.g. suit customisation) and others that currently don't deliver well (slightly sloppy controls/aiming, hit detection, no real sense of permanence or impact for dust players). Apart from not really being able to aim, and calling the game Dust 5-14, he's basically correct in his assessment.

I think the reality is that CCP have chosen to call Uprising their 'full release' for commercial/contractual reasons, probably around a mandated PS3 exclusivity period, when really we are still playing a beta version of a full game given the large number of bugs in new features (Planetary Conquest) and the lack of key features such as secondary market/trading, FW rewards and even orbital artillery. I think this is made further obvious by the absence of marketing surrounding the 'release' - marketing which won't be happening until the Q4 2013.

Dust 514 really does have to continue to deliver some of those core components in order for interest not to wane strongly once BF4, etc, comes out and the next gen of consoles are released. I think they will, but the quality needs to remain high.

It'll be interesting to see if MMOs like Dust 514 get re-reviewed in 12 months, and to see if scores change much.

"the suspensions on the wheeled LAV's (the only vehicle you can initially drive) aren't so easily addressed. Seriously, these rides bounce and flip so readily you'll think every planet is made of trampolines."

LOL.

Maybe the gravitational pull on the planets are less which make them feel like trampolines

killzone shadowfall, watch dogs, god of war = the end of ps3.

planetside 2 on PS4 = the end of DUST.

i'm getting the PS4 and limited edtiions of killzone and the witcher 3 as soon as they come out.

I don't know what will save it. Once the controls aiming hit detection frame rate and lag are fixed it will just be an average FPS with controls which work and it will be relatively smooth online, but that much is a given. Any game can achieve that.

PC is interesting but unless we can mine those planets, craft weapons and sell them on the marketplace; I don't know what DUST will have to offer to deter people from PS2 and other games.

CCP can do it, I just fear that there is so much stuff on the roadmap which won't be done by the launch of the PS4. Although the PS4's launch isn't the end of the PS3 they won't have long after it does launch.
