Once the PS4 is released there's no doubt that the population count for this game is gonna go down even further. But plenty of people have said that they'll stay, I won't be getting the ps4 at first. Maybe not for awhile, but will there be enough people here to have decent matches? What will the population count be on Dust 514? Right now you can check HERE for the current population. There are plenty of people dedicated to this game but even they have a limit for how far they will go for this game. |

I was sad to hear that CCP was focused on the ps3 rather than the ps4. I will not be staying. |

Are you really going to trade in your PS3 for a PS4? You realize there's no backwards compatibility, right? And that Gaikai isn't coming till next year, and requires a subscription? |

since I already own a PS3 I don't see any reason why I wont still play.....
but of course im gonna be playing PS4 as well
I can see people who are on a tight budget may be trading in their PS3 to get a PS4 and that may knock down the pop a bit
but on the other hand there are a ton of people who simply wont be able to afford it and dust is free... so there will always be an influx of new mercs and a steady amount of old mercs who will stay or revisit from time to time to see where the game is at.
personally ill be around steady for the next 18 months I think... after that, if they haven't delivered some form of what we were promised ill probably move on... but ill come back at some point down the line if through reviews and other media/friends I hear that dust is finally something to see...
I bet most of all the angry/bored people who have already quit will come back at that point too.... |

Well... once people 'quit' this game. As far as CCP is concerned they are pretty much gone.
Yeah once these new games are out, I might pop in to dust here and there for a match.. but buying boosters/aurum? Not for a game i'll play once or twice a month. |

Well there are PS3 emulators for the PC although you gotta have a damn good PC. So yes I most likely will trade in my ps3 and most of my ps3 games for the ps4 |

This game will be dead when GTA5 comes out, so PS4 will be the final nail in the coffin till this game reaches PS4.
I'll still have my PS3, but why on earth will I come back to a beta when there's SO MANY other good games. I might stop by now and then, but till this game reaches PS4 i won't really care too much for it.

No it won't be dead, the population will go down for a bit (month or two) but it won't be dead. The Last of us took people away from Dust 514 temporarily, and people have already come back from that game. |

I won't bother with a ps3 game once the ps4 comes, and tbh ccp are kidding themselves if they think this game in its current state will be enough to make people still play if they own ps4. The release titles alone are enough to turn your head, let alone what's being developed for release in the next year/ 18 months. |

agreed people don't have much of a reason to stay right now and won't have any at all after the ps4 comes out. |

truth is I don't know if it'll be coming to the ps4 in years to come, CCP might already have a ps4 version nearly finished. But I doubt it because to me it looks like they're already having a hard time developing the ps3 version |

I think people forget what console launches are really like - even good ones. There really wasn't that much to play on the PS3 for awhile after launch. The story was about the same on the 360 as well. Early on you had... Perfect Dark Zero? Dead or Alive 4?
There will be games to play on the new consoles, but not nearly as many as on the PS3 and 360. Give it another year post-PS4 launch before stuff like this becomes a serious concern.
I'm not even really sure if Dust will lose the "early adopter" crowd to what few games you'll be able to play in the first 3 months or so. Dust may lose players in the future, but I think the console launch will be a relatively small part of that.
Consider: Final Fantasy 14 probably hopes to be around for quite awhile, and it hasn't even launched on the PS3 yet. |

I am getting a PS4 at launch. But I do not understand why the introduction of a new console would be a factor for whether or not anyone plays Dust 514? There are not a boatload of shooters out there for release. I am getting my PS for Killzone: Shadow Fall...in fact that is the only reason I am getting the console at launch.
But that will not keep me from playing Dust 514 at all. The only other retail shooters coming out are the new COD and Battlefield. If people are leaving for those then I guess...have fun? See you six months later maybe when you are burnt out? I mean those are active franchises right now. Does anyone really think those games are going to offer anything substantial that the current iterations don't now? I mean what...commander mode? Maybe better graphics I guess but who plays a shooter just for the graphics.
Sure the PS4 will offer a couple of other F2P experiences with Planetside 2 and Warframe. But from what I understand PS2 has its own issues so what...you get a new set of forums to QQ on? I mean we are not even two months from "official release" in a game that has like a 10-year plan? Go I guess. Have fun with whatever...see you around sometime...whatever you do, happy hunting! |

16 vs 16 will keep this game on life support. Dust will never have more than that it can't afford to. Also the Eve players will be the ones playing Dust. I expect the Mag community to be gone, same with most beta vets.
With 32 players per match and 2,000 loyal fans will keep Dust on life support for a long time. |

Here is the real question though... are those 2000 loyal fans purchasing enough aurum to keep the game on life support?
and how long with CCP continue to fund dust if its not making any money? |

I don't think the PS4's release will dent Dust's numbers any more than The Last Of Us did. Perhaps this isn't a popular position, but I think getting a console on its release is a terrible idea, and that even the most dedicated PS fans will still be playing PS3 for a long while after 4's arrival.
That said, I think if Dust has any future, it is inevitably going to have to make the move to PS4 eventually. I'd be comfortable seeing it happen 12-18months into the PS4's lifespan.
Right now Dust is still in beta. CCP took on more than they can handle, and though they might not be polishing a turd, there's an awful lot of sh*t they need to clean up before they have the right to make a promotional push to the larger gaming community. |

Oh I wasn't talking about the games you picked, although those are gonna be great games on the ps4. I was talking about Dust being available to play on the ps4 via Gakai. |

Weird posting to me. The PS4 isn't out. Sony will be focused on exclusive that make cash. Not AUR sales.
The ~5K users online doesn't matter in real terms, besides having sufficient server support. What matters is the total amount of AUR sold per unit of time (day/week/month) versus cost to maintain the game. None of which we know. I paid real world money for packs to support CCP and the game. How many they need to buy packs and AUR will not be disclosed one would suspect, top seeckrett business information and all that.
Those that are moving to the PS4 will be focusing on some great new releases one would hope. DUST is Free To Play. Which is a different customer base. How the PS4 and the PS3 games play together will be more important than which console is supported. If they can get it to play well together then they get both communities.
I am not getting either next-gen consoles so supporting the PS3 is good for me. It is no cause for panic if they don't support PS4 on day one or even if they do.
Take a deep breath, login and kill some Reds. You will be better for it. |

I understand where you are comming from but NO. CCP needs to stick to the ps3 why you ask? Well they need to make a amazing experince mold this game update it get a good thing going once bugs are fixed and the connection to eve grows and they make sure they have the best posible experince. Then move to ps4 |

They are already at the point is having a shortage of PS4 and I doubt that 90 million people are going to adopt the PS4 at launch. There should be plenty of PS3 for a while. |

They still produced ps1 games until last year so I would guess that the PS3 has at least three more years in it. If you take in to account the developing world that is just now becoming rich enough to own PS3s with a broadband connection then it may be even longer than that. We are are about year seven of a ten year console. |

Interesting, well I know that they'll be making games for the ps3 for a bit longer but I don't think it'll last more than a year or two, so we'll see |

what does PS4 change? What FPS does it have to lure away ppl from Dust? Btw, ppl who wanted to leave and play other FPS with, lets say, better graphics have already done so a long time ago. |

With 32 players per match and 2,000 loyal fans will keep Dust on life support for a long time.
The MAG community has no where to go though, so a lot will stay here. |

Most DUST bunnies want PvP and destiny is a co-op pve game that may include PvP in 2014 if Hollywood decides that it would work. Bethesna is your argument? A company that produced the worst performing PS3 game there is and then gave up on it. Sony had to fix their game just so it would run. And Sony did it in a few months where as Bethesna tried for at least four months and made no progress. Bethesna bugs make DUST look like a bar of gold. Try again. Squareenix has no made a good ff in a long time. Best thing out of square have been kingdom hearts. GTA v looks fun and those games have been fun and the multiplayer looks interesting. |

Lol, I can't help but notice most of those refuting the idea of the PS4 release taking players away from Dust are EVE players that only purchased a PS3 to play Dust.
Do you really need to be reminded that you are NOT CCP's target audience? Your views and opinions on console gaming are vastly different from 90% of console gamers.
Like it or not the PS4 release WILL affect player count. If you truly believe it will not you're more delusional those who think this game will ever be well balanced. |

I will not be staying. So, again, this comes back to the idea of only one game or console being playable at a time. Are you really going to trade in your PS3 for a PS4? You realize there's no backwards compatibility, right? And that Gaikai isn't coming till next year, and requires a subscription?
not loading up my ps3 to play loldust when i have a ps4.....sorry, love the concept and love team true grit but yaaaaa better FUN games > loldust
dont think anyone will really be playing their ps3s more than ps4s no matter the game tbqh so to answer ur question yes ppl will primarily be playing 1 console aka ps4 |

actually alot of the MAG community will prob go PS2 considering that game is more akin to MAG in terms of providing larger scale battles |

As much as I'm tired of hearing about ps2 you're probably right about the mag community leaving dust for ps2. And battlefield 4 on the side |

I'll still have my PS3, but why on earth will I come back to a beta when there's SO MANY other good games. I might stop by now and then, but till this game reaches PS4 i won't really care too much for it.
This and this and this.
1.4 is currently slated for a September ish release, which means it will be devoid of real feedback or data as a good portion goes off to see if GTA is as good as it can be. So good luck with getting CCP to make a decent balancing pass after that.
Shortly after that we will start to see the migration to PS4. I will be in the first wave.
My PS3 will get more use playing GTA 5 than it will playing Dust after the PS4 comes out. |

Competitive multi player not PvP. Go read the articles, they say that PvP is being looked into not that it is a definite on. |

If you have broadband I am sure you are on the net alot and will want more bang for your buck. Next Gen consoles will offer a better experience than Current Gen and with a PS4 at $400 instead of $500+ they will opt for the new one.
Also the fact that they can purchase these new games online and download instead of having to pay shipping and duties or just play the F2P games.
The people who will get a PS3/360 most likely wont have broadband so wont be playing Dust anyway. |

If I had not overplayed BF3 to the point where I can't stand its problems, I would never have even gotten into Dust.
Right GTA 5 will take people away from Dust 514 for along time because of all that you can do in that game. Same thing for Fallout 4, when that game comes out on the ps3 the Dust population will go down also. These games might keep people on the ps3 for awhile if they only come out with a ps3 version and by the time people are done with these games for the ps3 the migration to the ps4 might start to kick off. |
