Oh please, this is in no way to the same extent as that trainwreck.

DUST 514 announcement demo: DUST 514 demo | DUST as it actually is

Better explosions, textures, and effects, it's a different game engine than final product (ended up using Unreal 3. Unreal 4 available but too expensive for game, I guess.).
Vehicle control is a lot better in demo. Let's see anyone in DUST right now driving like they do in this demo.
Graphics a lot better in demo.
Lots of features in demo omitted from final game.
AI doesn't exist in final game.
Developer commits to continued updates and new features. Has yet to overcome most of the original criticism, or match their demo.

Aliens: Colonial Marines in-progress demo: Demo vs Final Product

AI is garbage in final game.

It's the same thing.

I'm not trying to diss DUST too much... I want to see it successful. I've spent a decent amount of rl cash to support it too. However, you have to look at the reality of the situation: DUST is free. My time is not. If the game isn't good RIGHT NOW, it's not a good game. Maybe it can be a good game in the future... but it needs to get there real quick and there's not much sign of anything but little tweaks coming up in the near future.

I'm here for the long haul, because I play EvE. If it wasn't for EvE, I doubt I would give DUST a second chance.

Do you see a difference in gameplay. content and quality? WTH happened? What i'm playing on my ps3 is not the Dust 514 that I was advertised about. Its actually faaaar from it. Feels like a watered down bull#%#% version of what was shown back at 2009. How can CCP as a game company say at Fanfest 2013 "We are proud to announce that Dust 514 will be released on the 5/14 this year" and release this Alpha quality product when they advertised a far superior product back in 2009? Someone please explain WTH happened? Feels like I'm playing an Alpha version of Dust 514 when I look at the footage from 2009.

When a new system would be available during the same year of release, especially when releasing a FTP game in a starter line-up for a new Console would or at least seems really good as an invesment? Who would not try out a free game when they just spent all that money on the new console? Surely the player count would be/should (be) much higher than 10k for a FTP game? Just seems to me that downgrading a game so much from what was shown in 2009 isn't the right move, but then again what do i know, i am not a game developer, just a gamer. As long as the aurum is rolling in they should be happy i guess.
