The original engine was melting high end gaming pcs. It could probably melt the ps4 as well. The world of darkness team is still working on fixing that engine, if i remember right.
They can't change game mechanics for ps4, graphics can look nicer, screens load faster, and better frame per second.
The players on field, draw distance, map size have to match so ps4 and ps3 can share the battlefield.
Years from now when ps3 population has almost all migrated, ps3 support can be dropped. Then there will a sudden jump in player cap and map size at same time since ps3 is no longer holding it back when this happens.
I think ps4 release time is about when the pve mode is due, this will probably do more to raise player base numbers then the ps4 release.
Personally, I don't plan on buying a ps4 for few years, the games they have shown I wouldn't pay full price for. I'll get a ps4 after the price drops and get killzone shadow fall and second son out of a bvargin bin for $20. While both franchises are good I have always waited till they were year or two old before buying them. On other hand if dust or boarderlands was only going to be on ps4, I would want to set money aside asap.
Looking back, the first call of duty was not a huge release, it took few sequels to gain player base. Dust after a year of expanions would change as much a one call of duty to the next. So, I could see people that didn't like dust when they tried it coming back a year later after a new expansion. Same way people that didn't care for first call of duty bought later ones that were more popular.
Dust is also based on a better model with more potential, so when the broken stuff is finally fixed and more content added it should be a better game. This may be a few years out at current speed, but if an add campaign was run at that time it would have same chance as it had with those features at launch. Many will assume it is sequel, since that is more common then making major changes in an expansion. For example. Dust514: Mordu's Trials and DUST514: Uprising sound like two games in a franchise more then a closed beta and release build.
