Looking at the currently 9-year lifespan of EVE, I'm curious what the lifespan of DUST is expected to be. A) because I'm considering getting a PS3 for it, but more importantly B) because I'm considering making it a large part of my EVE Online career.
- What happens when the PS4 is released? PS3 is nearing the end of its life cycle, will players care enough to play a PS3 game on the new system? - if it's F2P, will CCP consider releasing an updated (graphics, gameplay, etc.) version for a new version of the console?
I realize it's impossible to answer these before seeing how successful the game is, but perhaps CCP can shed some light on what they plan to do to keep DUST alive for longer than the average 1.5-year lifespan of a console game? This is not the signature you're looking for. |

As I've understood it Dust will have the same patching and updating as EVE. This means that when the PS4 comes, the game will be updated to work and look good on it. As time goes the game will expand and as bugs get discovered they will be fixed.
On the Dust and CCP keynote we got a glimpse on future ideas like gas planets where you'll need a vehicle to move around and PVE against rogue drones. I think the plan is to release the expansions two a year, the same as with EVE.
The PS3 still have a couple of years left until it'll be dead giving the Dust team plenty of time to update and rewrite the game for the PS4.
All this is based on the success of the game and info provided during fanfest so you'll have to take it for what it is. |

And mind you, CCPs definition of expansion is just adding anything more to the game. So we could only be seeing "5 new amarr laser rifles, and 1 new minmitar HAV" for an expansion. Which is fine, but I wouldn't expect new game modes etc every few months either. |
