Any real idea why DUST -which looks to be amazing- is PS3 only? Any reason why this isn't for PC? |

There are many reasons and many conspiracy theories.
Basically Xbox wouldn't let them do what they wanted. Sony would.
If you want any more search for it or go to the dust 514 part of the forum :) |

New crowd they can address that doesn't play EvE-O. They are expecting a percentage of those Ps3 players to try EvE Online. (why they did a tutorial redesign, etc.) That plus the fps-genre tends to do well on consoles. |

Pretty sure I said PC.
Eve is a PC game and has been for years now. I don't think there's a 'conspiracy'. I just don't see why this isn't available for the PC since this is a PC (and Mac) MMORPG...
I thought CCP was about making money, so why not have something available in more places to make more money? I know there's tons of PC gamers who love FPS. I wouldn't care what console this was on, nor do I really, all that matters is that this isn't available for the PC - yet, and frankly it would be great if it was. |

PS2 being Planetside 2, which is Sony Online Entertainments upcoming MMO FPS Free to play game which just recently went into closed beta.
As for Dust being PS3, my thoughts on it are that they want to bridge a gap between Console players and the PC. For example: Someone with a PS3 downloads Dust, plays it, enjoys it and then knowing that the ships that he has been calling in airstrikes from can be played with in another game on pc, might go on his pc and download/sub to EVE.
Long and short of my thinking is that they will use Dust to bring players to EVE (along with making money off dust should it do well) |

CCP has stated they wanted to target a different player base, and get their hand in another market. The console market. Xbox was a no go due to restrictions in the Microsoft network and that the way they run it, that didn't allow CCP to do what they want. With Xbox out of the question it would be a good guess to say CCP decided it was best to shoot for a exclusive deal with Sony. This deal could reduce costs on CCPs end as well as help both sides with marketing.

I think the DUST section is too hidden for most users to see it. You know, being in capital letters at the top of the forums and all. |

It is also entirely possible that CCP is getting some support from Sony in exchange for making it exclusive to the PS3. Marketing help or otherwise. |

Yee.
I wonder what percentage of cash shop money goes to sony.
Since the game will be free to play. Just targetting a much larger "audience." |

Because cannibalizing you're own player base into a F2P game is a bit of a no-no.
That, and Planetside 2 would be a bit too much competition. |

Probably because I posted the same thing there and was censored out. |

I am betting that once whatever contracts have expired, they will have a PC version ready to go when the console base dies out as predicted... Epeen:-á Behavior quite commonly found on online discussion boards or similar, where some loser tries to establish his superiority - and thus the merit of his or her opinion - by stating how skilled and awesome he or she is, rather than forming a sound argument.Generally also used to condescendingly refer to someones ego. |

I assume it's because PS3 has a bigger market, and more importantly, it is a new market to tap into. |

CCP wanted Dust to be a console game so that they could expand their playerbase.
Xbox was not possible, so PS3 was the only choice left.
PC is a "maybe in the future" thing. however competing with PS2 would be a bad idea from the start. |

If you want any more search for it or go to the dust 514 part of the forum :) Where rhe hell did anyone mention xbox. He said pc noob. No need to be mean. Let's examine the original post, shall we. He asked 2 questions: why is it PS3 only, and any reason for no PC. If you would take 3 seconds to think before you blast someone as asking a "noob question", you would see that he is responding to question 1 of 2: why is it PS3 only. He states info regarding why it is not on other consoles, as was originally planned in the early stages if I remember correctly, and just on the PS3.
Less hating and more thinking please. You won't look like a noob yourself in retrospect. |

It looks like a typical game running on an outdated platform.

First of all you need to know why they went with consoles. They went with consoles, because at the moment it is more profitable than PC's for multiplayer first-person shooters. Does that excludes making it on the PC as well? No.
If they went with consoles, why not the XBOX360? Because microsoft has a shitton of rules that get in the way, and because you need to pay for a Live subscription to play online on the XBOX. Nobody is going to pay to play a free to play game. So that is why they went with the PS3.
Also, Sony offers good money if you promise to claim that your title will be a PS3 exclusive title for X amount of time. Why? Because it will force people who want to play to buy a PS3. Does that excludes PC's? Yes, for some time.
So, don't fret. We will see that game on the PC at one time or another. The world is a community of idiots doing a series of things until it explodes and we all die. |
