Geez that sounds too reasonable to be true...

It is true that Dust 514's performance is woefully inadequate when compared to other PS3 titles. However, there is still the problem of a sliding scale.

The games on the PS3 that look "great" in comparison to Dust 514 are still pretty inadequate to similar titles on PC.

I'm not a "PC Master Race" guy, I think the PS3 is great for the 1st party exclusives, but having the heavy restrictions on the hardware side definitely leaves CCP blindfolded with one hand and both feet tied behind their backs when it comes to development. If they didn't have to spend these first few years trying to learn how to get around the problems of making a game for such an ancient and underpowered system they would likely be much further along than they are now.

Look at how many games have been released for the PS3 that have succeeded amazingly. Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid, Resistance, Battlefield, so many more. All amazing games, all work just fine. Fallout and Skyrim offer more than this game and they are disc based. You can't possibly tell me this game pushes the PS3 harder than Fallout and Skyrim. Granted they've had glitches but but nothing that makes the game virtually unplayable and they certainly get addressed pretty fast. Let's not forget MAG. Bigger maps, 256 players in a round, constant air strikes, proximity chat (awesome) and better graphics. So please tell me: If other games and developers can make all this happen on the PS3, what is CCP's excuse?

They had to rework the game from scrath with a new engine, that they didnt know. PS3 RUINED MOST CHANCES FOR THIS GAME. Now its like racing with a broken leg, not impossible but really really hard to be what you could have been So you are blaming the PS3 because CCP was too ignorant to properly utilize the engine they had to use? You fail to address that other games on PS3 do everything better than Dust. You said it yourself: CCp didn't know the engine they had to use. That's called "inexperience". That's user error, not the PS3's. Don't blame the Ferrari for losing the race just because your ass never learned to drive a stick.

The only reason I ask is because I'm doing research for a study.

Also, Fallout and Skyrim have a ton of bugs and MAG sacrificed graphics for performance. this... Carbon is so beautiful.. Yes MAG sacrificed graphics for gameplaybut it STILL looked better than Dust AND had better gameplay. Skyrim/Fallout have bugs but nothing as bad as Dust has. Enemies can't invisi-glitch and kill you in Skyrim.
