I'm just curious what's the strategy here... To be the only non cross platform console f2p title. I don't understand

DCUO

DCUO

Well since the concept of a single shard universe is pretty important to EVE and neither company would likely allow cross console play, they had to choose one. As to why not on PC, no idea but we all seem to think it will be one day.

DCUO PS3/PS4 will be cross platform.

That doesn't make any sense, all of those other mmos are all logging into the same server.... and eve online local chat and others can run into dust, why couldn't a PC version of dust and a Ps3 version of dust be side by side and being played by the same people?


Didn't they even already put a graphics option into dust??? Every other mmo on that list is one server world as well. At least as much as dust is. But you can log into a PC a console a phone, and play them all that way too on the same account....

Dust was suppoe to be the 1st massive mmo f2p on console but it's not anymore. Shouldn't they adapt?

That's super sexy, so PS3 PS4 and PC all on the same servers? Sounds kick ass, too bad it's impossible for CCP. : (

MS are greedy fascists?

I'm saying in regards to PS3 and 360. No way would Sony or Microsoft let the consoles play together, they would have to be separate battles fighting for different different versions of the same districts, same planets, same systems, etc. But in regards to PS3 and PC cross play that is definitely a possibility and has already been done before (Portal 2).

If I remember right, Sony and CCP have a deal for a few years of exclusivity on playstation, I think it was a 3 year deal from launch day if I remember right.

It's rather easy to edit files on PC. Hell players even did it on Mass Effect 3, and that was just co-op. I'd wager a guess that's part of the reason why Dust is on PS3.

Also the console market is a large demographic for shooters. Free to Play relies a great deal on having a large playerbase to have more potential revenue.

PS3 and PC have cross platform play with FF14. PS2 wants to do it but wont because of the disparity b/w kb/m and controller not to mention the sheer server load it would cause.

FF11 in fact had cross platform across all the platforms but MS decided to be a bunch of lamo's and wanted to create a closed community thats why Defiance(**** game) doesnt have cross platform play even though internally they are capable of it. Because Microsoft won't allow it and devs are too scared to release a game that wont hit that market.

Personally i think you will see even more cross platform gaming at least on the PS4 and PC end as devs will just go tell microsoft to **** off with their closed community policy and i really hope devs have the balls to do it.

*shrugs*

Either the Xbox 360 cannot handle the game or CCP cannot optimize it well enough for the Xbox 360 to handle it.

Plus Xbox 360 charges the developer for each update....or at least they did back when CCP made their agreement with Sony.

no, it wasnt on 360, and in fact will NEVER be on a microsoft console, because of the agreements microsoft demanded CCP make should they allow the game on their console. basically you have to PAY for new content, pathes can only come out once a month and cannot be bigger than a certain size, and the game could not connect to ANY servers not owned by microsoft.



as far as DUST being allowed on PC, i couldnt care less unless i was able to have my capsuleer throw on some armor and do some shooting herself, after all, who can do a job better than yourself?

It's the same reason world of tanks is being pulled from xbox one, MS won't let them give players access without a gold account.

wankers

So the PS4 is becoming the f2p mmo console. I just think if only a very stong focus on PS4 if not PC I suppose.... But I'd rather see a PC port since most other mmos are going to same route. Part of what makes dust aimming bad during lag is everything is done server side. So it might look like a mass driver hits but the server had t go off somewhere else. This is why cheating doesn't happen on CCPs servers.

I know they do it if they tried, but either way sticking to PS3 only? hmmmmmmmm

Uh, no. DCUO will be cross-platform with the PS3/PS4, not PC. DCUO will likely stay separate between PS3/PS4 and PC, as it is now.
