GTA V will kill dust.

Destiny is going to be a sick game, no doubt about it, but honestly the only aspect it has in common with dust is sifi theme. Destiny is an open world RPG game (I think ) while dust is PvP only (right now) and gameplay takes place only on enclosed maps. Naw it ain't notin like da dust 514

Okay what's all the hype about? Seems like everywhere I go I hear someone saying Destiny is going to be big competition for Dust and devastate the games numbers. I watched the reveal from E3 a while ago and it looked pretty boring to me, but maybe i'm missing something. So what's so special about this game and what's it going to do better/different than Dust? What makes it special?

First off Destiny is not out yet. Dust seems to be killing itself all by itself.

Second what the hell have you been reading? In nearly every thread i have stated that Destiny is a co-op MMOFPS and is not really competition with Dust.

Third a much better discussion is how Elite and Star Citizen are going to kill EvE. Seriously between them they have like 250,000 backers. That is people who have payed for the game and have not even played them yet and can't play them for at least 6 months. Does EvE even have that many subscribers?

Fourth thinking about the second point: all the fan boys seem to love the SP/leveling system in Dust...with destiny i imagine that the XP/leveling system will actually be balanced at the start....also as a co-op open world mmo with tons of content to play rather then grind Destiny seems like a better fit for a huge segments of Dust's SP/leveling fan boy base....which i guess could kill Dust....of course if all those fan boys left then Dust could actually become a good FPS by ridding itself of its SP/leveling system.

And thus the Prophet has spoken.

First point: agreed.
Second point: E3 said it was a fpsmmorpg and PvE only. .. so it's si-fi gun WoW
Third point: 500, 000 active subs and still growing monthly. Only current mmo to do so
Fourth point: Yeah the sp system needs to be reworked into what it's suppoSed to be, a roll over system.

To each there own but DUST isn't going to die from the outside, only internally if it will.

Duke Nukem and Aliens Colonial Marines are better then this POS

yes because you can judge games now based on fuzzy videos...

If Dust dies I think it will be a death of a thousand cuts.

Dust is not Eve my friend. One is on PC where gamers are more patient and the other is on a soon to be outdated console where gamers are less patient. One is more of a strategy game while the other is an FPS. Despite all the strategy in the world, it is still an FPS which means shooting people in the face. Folks who like to shoot people in the face usually get bored more easily than strategy only gamers.

Borderlands and Diablo and even warframe has more to worry about Destiney rather than Call of Duty, Battlefield, Titanfall and other real shooters do which actually do pose their own variety of threats against Dust 514.

Also the hero art for Destiney... feels... unheroic. The villains are far more visually interesting than the heros.

Defiance and Firefall are better examples.

Boarderlands is an OK example...but Diablo?

Should be pointed out that Titanfall will have PvE elements in its multiplayer. NPC "popcorn" enemies to make the player feel good without actually making other players feel bad because you killed them.

Ahmmm once TESO comes to ps4 my social life is out the door
