Plenty of games, in fact I would wager most non casual games are multi platform. From Final Fantasies, to PS2 and Don't Starve. Why would you limit yourself to PC only after investing so much in a game when it is just a fraction of the cost to port it to an additional system? At that point you are just leaving money on the table.
But isn't the problem that ports are crap? And don't you have to port from a console to a PC? Either way, a port that is cheap to do means it's just wrapped in **** to make it work, and won't make use of the hardware properly. Sub-optimal experience. Not all ports are crap. I am not a fan of PS2, but I don't think its because it is a crap port. Likewise, I don't think that there is a significant difference in many games that are cross platform. Many of the newer games that have been ported from either the PS3 to PS4 (like Journey most recently), or from the PC to console (Minecraft and PS2), have not received poor marks for the port. I think that the notion ports are automatically crap is probably a generalization that is less true today than it has been in the past.
When I meant relatively cheap, I am talking the difference between developing a whole game vs porting a game. The biggest parts of the job are done once the game is finished for one platform are they not? And given that the PS4 architecture is now the same as the PC, surely that reduces the costs and headache for porting.

So for our next round of weekend attacks, are you guys thinking that 17:00 - 20:00 is our best bet at high turnout? Will put something downstairs to serve as reminder ...

If you have extra CP, you can always send the attack and send a mail to corp asking if anyone makes it to make a 16 man squad in squad finder and get randoms for PC. Rinse and repeat. We now have a weapon against crazy timers. They have to show up or one day you might just have a bad team that can beat their few guys. |

IIRC, 3 attacks Saturday between 02:00 and 03:00. Think your corp is already booked for PC Attack.

936. It's listed as 937 some places (for unknown reasons), but the raw was 936.

See: Eve online. They've got two fully functional games on that platform, it's their home base. So instead of comparing 1 piece of hardware to many pieces think about it like this: Why should Dust remain on the one platform which CCP has consistently shown they CAN'T work with?

Had a nice match.
Was fighting some Ultimate Spawn guys.
I did a single run into the enemy blob, killed a single Amarr Scout, dashed out and cloaked.
They started searching for me, I used this to lure them one at a time and take them out.
You could see the panic in their movements. Beautiful in the eyes of this scout.
Even got a hatemail, but not from Ultimate Spawn. The guy was a newb whom got caught in the action. 3rd one I killed if I remember correctly.

From Final Fantasies, to PS2 and Don't Starve. Why would you limit yourself to PC only after investing so much in a game when it is just a fraction of the cost to port it to an additional system? At that point you are just leaving money on the table. A few things to address here.
- I'm referring to the next generation version of Dust, ie "Legion". Dust as it currently is is a dying platform and everybody knows it. A port to PS4 would do nothing to help that.
- It would be MUCH easier to develop Dust if it were just on the PC because they don't have to go through Sony Q&A for every update.
- Of course many games are multiplatform, but the problems you run into when developing multiplatform games increase exponentially when a) the game you're developing is being continually iterated on, b) the games are multiplayer-based, and c) the games are connected to one or more other games. Bonus complexity if it's all three.
To expand on that last point: Let's say there are now two Dusts, one on PS4 and one on PC. Imagine a scenario where the client versions are synced and PC and PS4 players can play with each other. What happens when there's a bug on one client that isn't present on the other? What about PSN or Tranquility network issues affecting the matches? Now if an issue delays one client's patch, the other's is delayed as well, because they have to be in sync, so every patch will come out slower. Not to mention all the details of balancing M&K vs controller.
So having the two synced up is probably too hard. Now imagine the scenario where DustPS4 and DustPC aren't sharing the same client version and can't play with each other. How might the two versions differ, especially as time moves on and PCs grow ever more powerful than consoles? How do the two separate clients work with the interaction with Eve? Will every interaction with Eve have to be labeled as coming from PS4 or PC? What if an update has landed with mechanical changes for one version and not the other, what happens to dealing with Eve then? It's complicated for players and developers alike.
I would be willing to bet money that the disappointingly minimal Dust-Eve link isn't a result of weak hardware or not wanting to impact Eve too much, but a result of the logistics of coordinating between two entirely separate platforms. You're guaranteed to be limited in what you're capable of doing by having to work around such a restriction.

I don't think the EVE FPS games need to be connected to one another at all. I am fairly certain PS2 isn't connected between PC and PS4.
Certainly there is room for the games to have EVE connectivity without having to influence each other directly. Think a big Venn Diagram that looks like Micky Mouse, with the two ears being the separate EVE FPS games, and the head being EVE.

Mk.0 just ran about 45m into our redline, killed four guys with a shotty, and didn't die.
Mk.0 Scout with K5 Shotty runs into redline, kills four guys, and gets out.
He went 49/1 that game.
The 1 was when I sniped him midair.
EDIT: Reason I was posting this; I am wondering how he got so far in and didn't die. It took him about 20 - 25s to get in and kill everyone.
I just wonder.
