No it will not we will never have more than 16 vs 16. So that will keep this game going for a while. I do see Sony pulling the plug cuz of lack of revenue. |

So that will keep this game going for a while. I do see Sony pulling the plug cuz of lack of revenue. If Sony is under contract with CCP(which they likely are) then it is not as simple as "pulling the plug" they must honor the terms of the contract for the duration of time outlined in the contract. Unless you happen to be privy to the terms of the contract between CCP and Sony, then anything you say on the matter is solely speculative. Having said that, CCP has stated that this game has at least a 10 year plan. It is very likely that the terms of the contract extend for that length of time as well. Granted it may be in the terms to eventually port it to the PS4, but I don't see that happening for at least 3 or 4 years. That will, believe it or not, be ample time to build a substantial playerbase on the PS3 even after the release of the PS4. Ample time as well to have a very polished game with excellent core mechanics, and a massive amount of content.
Mag had more players better content and Sony shut down the developer. Mag sold over 1 million units. We have 5,000 players for a free to play game. That's horrible how much money is made from the market?
I bet barley any, the Omega Booster and respec option would sell like hot cakes, but instead. CCP wants to sell me a noob tube bundle WTF.
On top of that this game was met with horrible reviews world wide, player reviews are even worse. This game will not recover the Mag community will leave, and the Eve players will be the ones keeping this game on life support.
That's when sony will pull the plug or off set the cost to CCP. Then CCP will be forced to put this turd on PC where it belongs.
The chance CCP had to impress the gaming community was on 5/14/13 and it failed miserably. In my 25 years of gaming I've never seen a console game launch poorly to recover.
Word is out that Dust is horrible. |

Word is out that Dust is horrible. LOL wow you're going all the way back to the very beginning of the NES/Sega Genesis Era. I don't think there were too many FPS titles back then. I'm pretty sure that there were no MMOs either. I can think of a couple Catacomb 3D Wolfenstien Doom I'm so old I played Pong on the Collecovision.
I'm old lol i don't see dust recovering, i do see the Eve players keeping it alive though. PS4 & too many good games coming i just don't see Dust player count rise.
This console not PC, CCP made a mistake by bringing Dusy to console. Dust belongs on PC as an expansion to EVE. I will check on Dust once a week, but once GTA V and the PS4 drop im gone.
The thing that confuses me is why did they launch Dust with little to no content on a console? |
