Just seems to me that downgrading a game so much from what was shown in 2009 isn't the right move...

So if the PS3 can't handle Carbon, why downgrade the gameplay, content and quality so drastically to be able to run on PS3? 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.

I don't much care about the graphics of the game. Graphics in games are always trying to rival each other, and some of the greatest games ever have mediocre graphics (Morrowind for example is still being in sold in stores for PC)

I'm curious/upset why they scrapped the FEATURES.

Fully enterable buildings
Open Air vehicles
Fighters
Command Centers
Construction by commander
Long distance resupply/battles

They obviously made the attempt in the original beta, when we had the multi-stage maps. Those were at least interesting even if there were only two.

Now, Dust is a watered down game where every mission is identical except for the field you play on where all that matters is whether or not you have a duvolle tac, instead of having a skilled commander/logistics organization.

Viewing that original trailer still gives me goosbumps. So the general feeling is CCP switched engines but I don't quite buy that. Switching engines does not mean that you have to make new sounds from scratch, audio files should be one of the few things that would transfer with very little extra effort.

Focus on the sounds in that video, the gritty assault weapon sounds, the tracer whistles, the dropship sound when lifting off gives the impression of weight and power. Even the sounds in this current build are 4 years behind what they had back then. The excuse "we switched to Unreal Engine" does not cut it for me.

Looking closely at the details in that video, the concrete barriers are literally the same we have now. In fact, it looks like the build they showed there is about one year away from the current build if they maintain the same amount of progress as we have seen in the past.

The unreal engine can be beatiful on PS3, I just bought Bioshock infinite and that is a very pretty game with terrific sounds. I can understand sacrificing graphics to fit more players into the game but we are still at about the same capacity as Battlefield3 boasts for ps3 in terms of player counts.

There is simply no excuse for the way this game has progressed in my opinion. New engine or not, something else happened within this company and design of the game that drastically changed was they were capable of. It could very well be as simple as they ran out of money.

Did you see my earlier post?

"Switching engines" quite literally means writing your game over again from scratch. As I said in my previous post, even migrating the game I used to work on from CryEngine 2.5 to CryEngine 3 would have involved throwing out everything we'd made and starting over.

Please don't make grand pronouncements about things you don't understand.

Englighten me how the pre-recorded sounds inside a sound studio and then formatted for a different engine are then rendered useless by the simple switching of a engine?

You're blinded by your own ego and percieved experience to have any decent opinion on this matter.

I don't like the argument that future sounds have to sound wimpy. I could care less if things have bullets or not (mind you nearly every small weapon in this game has a clip)

The lack of punch in any of the sounds to date are an immediate turnoff for anyone starting this game.

I think we are starting to see where each other are coming from. I just finished a match and listened to the MCC exploding. I wouldn't mind hearing your opinion why the explosion of a ship the size of an outpost sounds like someone yawning.

CCP listened to the codbois.
the codbois got ripped up by better players therefor the game was broken.


now ccp has fixed the game for them by breaking it for real players.


same thing happened with mag.

when you listen to garbage gamers...
you end up with a player count consistently below 10k

Seems to me CCP bit of more than they can chew.

Wonder why CCP hasen't commented on this. Would like an official statement on what happened.

So you saying that the following games are rubbish ;

Batman: Arkham Asylum
Army of Two: The 40th Day
BioShock Infinity
Borderlands
Borderlands 2
Dishonored
DmC: Devil May Cry
Gears of War: Judgment

All those games run with the Unreal 3 engine....now i''m of to bed... i let you think about that one.

How many more times can mobius rush to defend ccp while dropping his past experience working on a game nobody played.

Looking for a job much?
