Now that Microsoft has started having free-to-play games for the Xbox. What do you think of a DUST client for the Xbox (after the successful launch on the PS3 of course)? |

Not going to happen.
They tried talking with Microsoft, and it didn't go well.
One of the major sticking points, iirc, was the charges they'd get for updates to the game, which were a lot higher than they were willing to go. FuzzWork Enterprises http://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/ Blueprint calculator, invention chance calculator, isk/m3 Ore chart-á and other 'useful' utilities. |

I think you will see this on xbox, but only after it proves to be successful on PS3 as MS won't be able to ignore it then. |

I thought the reason it was only ps3 was because xbox only uses microsoft servers for games, so ccp wouldn't be able to do their thang |

Luckily, with PS3 way behind in the console market, they're now trying all sorts of fun and exciting things to edge back into the market.
Microsoft is way ahead and much as I'd like to agree with you Cerebral, I doubt they'll change their stance even if Dust is a big success. If they treat developers anything like they treat customers, they'll try and squeeze all the money they can out of people. |

I don't own a 360, but I want to see Dust on it. Finally, PS3 and 360 owners could shoot each other. What's not to like? Occasionally plays sober |

I have a feeling the PC port of Dust 514 will happen before XBox
If there is an ability to export it to XBox CCP will attempt it because it means an even larger players base
after a while they will stop supporting a port of the game it it does not continue to grow.
if the history of of Unix Eve online has a any validitiy any more.
BUt I am not sure how long "exclusive has to be" to full fill the legal requirement. Some day I will have the internet and be able to play again. |

IIRC, "exclusive launch" on the ps3 usually means exclusive for 12 months. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

Funny thing is, with many FPSes they sell an order of magnitude (or more) more copieson the consoles, then they do on the PC. FuzzWork Enterprises http://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/ Blueprint calculator, invention chance calculator, isk/m3 Ore chart-á and other 'useful' utilities. |

BUt I am not sure how long "exclusive has to be" to full fill the legal requirement. Again, why the certainty that the game will be ported to the PC? Other than placating all the butthurt EVE players, I really can't see a reason for them to do this. I mean, for just one example, why would they want to put Dust in competition with Planetside 2, which is also made by Sony, who they are now partners with? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=eaUaJUhTZfw#t=148s An excellent example of why pod killmails are the best feature to be implemented in EVE Online since warping at zero. |

plus they stated in several intervieuws that they wanted to reach other player baces than the PC. the reasening is that most pc players have heart of eve in one way or another but most console players haven't. |

Won't happen on xbox for many reasons. 1. updating the game costs too much on xbox, every little patch will cost CCp more money then they are willing 2. connection to eve, MS wouldn't let them have a real time connection 3. now in agreement with sony, MS won't take a game that is released on PS3 first, its one of their many stupid rules. there are very few exceptions to this but I doubt ccp will get one.
xbox would definitely have been better from a income revenue standpoint, xbox has more console sales but more importantly is the FPS king this gen. however income means nothing when your expenses are so high as with MS and their re-certification fees |
