Edited by: Helle Acoma on 10/09/2009 04:47:58 Many Many console shooters are good PC shooters. Bioshock is a fantastic example of this, but when it comes to competitive shooters, which I assume Dust will be, the PC still rules the roost.
Honestly the console exclusive of this game of the basis that you cant make it good for both platforms is ridiculous; its all tied up in money. END OF.

Consoles are pretty toys. But internets spaceships are serious business.
BTW, Bioshock was an impressive interactive piece of concept art with a fairly nice plotline. However, it sucked as a FPS. It also sucked as a series of interesting choices. Dumbing down always has its downsides.

Theres a FPS game out there that plays on PC and PS3 while your online and both plays superbly. Well its on 2 different systems and it works great from what I hear. maybe for you fps freaks you know what game this is but anyway, CCP should be able to do this.
Sure it would take lots of work cause both codes as to be compatible on both systems but its possible. I support pc as well as other too. Imagine, your friend as a ps3 or xbox and he plays DUST. And you play Dust as well on your pc and you both play together...thats pretty sweet to me

There's so many things fundamentally wrong with the idea, and frankly, it's just another thing after the 'Ambulation' nonsense for years that makes me question if the management knows what they're doing.

I find it quite strange that 'CCP' doesn't realise the potential for this mmo if it would be released on 'pc'. There are quite alot of PC gamers who have been waiting for a revolutionary MMOFPS since 'Planetside'. The game being released on consoles only is in my eyes nothing else but a backstab, but you knew this already before announcing...
Atleast create something entirely seperate from eve if you want to try out the console market, and don't backstab your fans like this.

Quote: "K: What we have been asked by our readers is: why only make the game available for console and not for PC? CCP: Shooter on a console are different as shooters on the PC. We want to concentrate on developing a good console shooter."
This is an oxymoron.
A shooter can be 'good' or it can be 'console'.
It is logically impossible for it to be both.
Supported.

Hopefully CCP will tell us a bit more about Dust at Fanfest. I too love PC based shooters (and dont own a console), and since Dust is being developed with the Unreal Engine, a pc version shouldnt be technically difficult.
Unfortunately I fear this topic falls outside the scope of the CSM, since it is more about the business side of CCP rather than the game and technically isnt even about Eve, but about a different game alltogether. Director of Education :: EVE University Chairman of the CSM

Not signed.
Mostly because, as was mentioned before, there's too much of a disparity between console gaming and computer gaming that would give computer gamers the upper hand vs all but very dedicated console gamers.
Look at games like Halo 3: immensely popular despite being console-only. I think CCP knows what they're doing with this one.

Don't buy a console just for this man, that's setting yourself up for obvious disappointment.
If you want a "media center" then get an OLD hacked xbox... Opensource XBMC is much better then the xBox360 software.
Buying the latest console for a game that looks to just be a mod and won't have any real connection to Eve for 2-3 years is kinda silly.

What a rediculous idea. However as is the norm with games, console releases come first to create a cash flow and then PC release afterwards. To all those who mentioned the macro thing with farming accounts or whatever using multiple clients. 3 words - Power of 2. They ENCOURAGE multiple accounts.
But either way I think it will end up on PC maybe a year or so after the console release. I really hate this whole console take-over-the-world thing though because I've invested a hell of a lot of money into a computer which apparently means nothing if there's no games coming out on it. And not a snowballs chance in hell am I getting a PS3 or Xbox for any ONE game.
But for the record opening to the massive console market is a good business move, but they wont risk screwing the thousands of PC users that pay them. So patience.

CCP: Shooter on a console are different as shooters on the PC. We want to concentrate on developing a good console shooter."
Translation: "Making a shooter compatible with more than one system is too much hard work"
I support this topic, not just as a PC gamer or a Console gamer, but as someone who sincerely believes this will be a massive failure if it's not released on PC. Distribute it via steam or something, it's worth the hard work CCP.

I mainly play pc games and only own an old xbox so wouldn't have access to dust 514... so i agree make it available for pc users too... as it looks great and i prefer a mouse too a gamepad any day playing a fps.

I think everyone who supports this is missing the point. CCP is making Dust a console only game to bring in more casual gamers. EVE already caters to the hardcore gamers out there. Dust will bridge the gap between the hardcore and the more casual gamer.
I have introduced some of my XBOX friends to EVE and they played for a month and quit. The same guys will play COD4, Halo, Red Faction, COD: WAW non-stop for weeks. They enjoy the ability to jump into a game play get some action and quit. They didn't enjoy jumping on a vent with some serious business alliance members.
There are plenty of shooters available out there on the PC. Let the console gamers have this one. I for one enjoy console FPS over PC FPS any day.

I totally support your idea for Dust to come out for PC. i never like console fps games (maybe im just used to a keyboard and mouse), and i really do believe that dust and eve would work better together if they were both on the same "console" so to speak.

DUST 514 will never come to PC. Get that thru your stupid thick skulls people. PC FPS and Console FPS are two different crowds and CCP said one million ****ing times that they wanted to make a console FPS.
So stop the tears and accept it. Either buy a console or STFU already!
This thread is really starting to get pretty pathetic.
Let it go people... let it go...

The more I read about it, the more I am realizing that this is a business decision.
CCP already has a game that is doing pretty well on PC -- EVE.
Now they want a game that will do well on Console, and thus double (or triple) their revenue -- DUST.
They won't make DUST PC because everyone knows that a PC gamer would A** R*** any console gamer because a mouse/keyboard allows much better control. They also insist on DUST being a linked universe.
So, DUST will be Console only. I F****** hate consoles, but I might get a PS3 so I can watch BLURAY and play DUST. After all, its one of the best bluray players out there.
TL;DR -- F*** you CCP, you greedy bastards. I will still buy your products. Lead me.

Edited by: Batolemaeus on 19/10/2009 20:26:45 Being locked out of what could very well be an extremely great game on Pc sucks. We've seen the success of Bf1942, Bf2 and it's numerous clones, so the demand for action oriented games with a good rts part mixed with cooperative first person shoot-them-in-the-face is there.
So, yeah..i'd like to play a game like that again.. |

I agree. Not because I'm particularly looking forward to DUST, but because I think it will fail as a console exclusive and because of how it will tie in on Eve, its failure will have a negative impact on all of us.
Lets face it, the console market is saturated with FPS titles, and DUST won't offer anything different from more established titles to anyone other than Eve gamers. Console games are expensive, usually almost twice the price you can get the same title on PC for. That means console gamers are not going to buy 2 FPS games when they both seemingly offer the same thing. Is DUST really going to overhaul Halo for the mainstream Xbox market? Because if it's not better than Halo, no one will play it.
Since it will tie in closely with Eve, a lack of players for DUST will mean one of two things. Either the entire mechanic will fail, which would be disatrous for Eve, or, more likely, some large alliance (we all know the most likely candidate) will realise there is a small player base and order all their members to play DUST, and they'll exploit the low player base in DUST to gain a huge advantage in Eve. You could argue that that's the way it's intended to be, but it seems a little unfair that somethign that is not available to all players can have such an impact.
If DUST was on PC, and ran on an engine that was useable by the majority of Eve players (the source engine still looks good, and is very scaleable), and was available at a reasonable price point, I reckon most Eve players would buy it. It still needs to be a good game in order to get people playing, which as I said is vital to the game's success and also to the success of the new mechanics in Eve.
Perhaps CCP are just planning to release it as a console exclusive initially, then a few months down the line if player numbers aren't what they need to be, they can port it to PC and release it free to all Eve subscribers. A man can dream, can't he?
