I'm cool with it being on the PS3...I just wonder what that does to the longevity of the title.

I'm sure it will be on the PS4 if Sony wants it there.

Just sucks that:

a) its PS3 exclusive
b) only 32 player fights.

I was extremely disappointed when they made it PS3 exclusive I have always owned Xbox 360 and never a PS3 so now I am basically being forced to buy a PS3 when originally the game was going to be for the xbox 360, way to fk us over CCP on that one.

Talorn you can blame Microsoft for that one. Most likely M$ did not want the consoles players having any contact with the EVE PC players due to the restrictions concerning Xbox Live. PS3 DCUO has cross platform play and even Portal does with PC players. That is one advantage the PS3 has over the Xbox due to not being as closed towards being cross platform playable.

Sony welcomed CCP with open arms, Microsoft put them on hold listening to elevator music.

Three quotes:

Human nature is driven by conflict. Humanity's greatest technological leaps, be they to harm life or to save it...are forged in the fire of war. War is driven by the desire to enforce your will upon the weaker, to test one's self against the stronger.

The payload is the message

-Serpentis High Captain Uvten

I held him in my arms. Felt the life shake loose of his body, only then did I pull my knife free and walk away, my cloak field shimmering slightly as I did.
-Akran Sef, recounting the assassination that ended the Battle of Camtevei

... All im sayin'.

If little dustmen blow up my PI stuff or whatever I'm going to be super pissed though.

Dust will also support KB&M on PS3. Smartest move CCP ever made. We will now have proper controls for a console FPS game.

I wish CCP best of luck, from what ive seen so far, PS2 got this.

I don't think you can really put the two in the same bin. Superficially similar but Dust is an interface to EVE's crazy hardcore space universe.

EVE was/is a grower title and that's what the biggest hurdle for Dust will be. Can you have that kind of game on a console, which is far more of a pick-up-game kind of thing than EVE is.

Synapses · 2012-03-20, 12:23 PM

Speaking of this system.. Its almost similar imo, to what PS2 is.

What if the PS team at SOE were to do something similar... Finish up PS2, and then start working on a separate game, or expansion that is similar to EVE, without all its STUPID bs overly hard learning curve... Maybe something like Jumpgate Evolution, or how it was supposed to be. Kind of a FPS space shooter.

Warborn · 2012-03-20, 01:02 PM

It isn't similar to PS2 at all. EVE is a game where fights actually matter and the game changes based on how well players do, both in warfare and in politics with other players. It is by far the deepest MMO around with the most meaningful player interactions. PS2 is a game where fights don't mean anything and nothing changes and what you do doesn't matter, ever. Nothing PS2 can do will ever make it a competitor with EVE.

This isn't to denigrate PS2, as it being an ultimately static game is fine because it is about having fun blowing stuff up rather than any kind of player-controlled warfare deal like EVE or even WW2 Online. PS2 will undoubtedly be fun and successful and hopefully usher in a new era for MMOGs. But, on the sidelines, there'll be EVE, Dust 514, and eventually that World of Darkness MMO.
