I won't buy a console to play a single game, and certainly not a ps3. I could not possibly justify that financially.
Too bad, as it looks very nice and fun. Back to BF2142 it seems... ----- Malevolence. is recruiting. Dive into the world of 0.0 !

Originally by: CCP Spitfire
Originally by: Dennie Fleetfoot CCP have consistently claimed that Dust was multiformat.
The console specs haven't changed. We can all assume correctly then that there has been until recently, fully working beta's for PC, Xbox and PS3.
I have not read a single technical explanation as yet as to why the change to PS3 exclusivity, that I have not heard before from other developers in similar situations. Not one.
So until we get a full public denial from CCP, I and many others I'd imagine are going to take it as read that money has been exchanged.
I've no problem with that by the way. Business is business.
To pretend otherwise however, that I do have a problem with.
From the very first days, DUST 514 was announced as a console-based game. As for PS3 exclusivity, simply speaking, we found the platform to be more MMO-friendly. DUST 514 is a unique project in many ways û not least in the way it will interact with EVE û and PlayStation 3 suited our needs perfectly.
Sorry guys, didn't mean to put PC as a format. I knew it was console only. *slaps forehead*
However Spitfire, as much as I thank you for your response, I believe my point still stands.
With the prior claims to it being Multi-format then logically there must have been an Xbox version, the spec's for that console haven't changed.
"As for PS3 exclusivity, simply speaking, we found the platform to be more MMO-friendly. DUST 514 is a unique project in many ways û not least in the way it will interact with EVE û and PlayStation 3 suited our needs perfectly."
What is the technical reason that previously wasn't a problem before that suddenly made the Xbox 'less MMO friendly' than the PS3?
There are only 3 explanations.
1: Microsoft's service constrictions with Xbox Live mean that Dust couldn't work as you'd hoped. Which I wouldn't be too shocked about. In which case, just say that its Microsoft's policies that have denied the format the joys of Dust and we can move on, knowing who's fault it is.
2: CCP don't have the technical know how, resources or skills to make an 'MMO unfriendly console' work they way they want. I personally don't believe this for a moment. You guys have uber skills as a developer and I'm fairly convinced you could make a Xbox make a cup of tea for you all, should you wish it.
3. CCP and Sony have signed an exclusivity deal, in which case just say so. Business is business as I said before. No one with an IQ above that of a dead dog is going to not understand that or think less of you for it. We've still got our internet spaceships after all.
Which one is it?
You've made a great universe with EVE and it's only right you'd want to expand it. I just think you've limited the scope of that expansion and in the current economic climate, plus the fact that there is not one other single game on it that can't already play on my Xbox that I'm interested in, I can't and won't justify the purchase of a PS3 to play one game.

PS3 ONLY
PS3 is a very expensive console to buy just to play Dust 514. Not to mention their multiplayer support is a nightmair.
As much as I was looking forward to it, looks like I won't be playing it either.....

Not to sound intelligent or anything, but there's this platform that is even better than the PS3. It's one that - even you, ccp - have intense past experience of. It's a wonderful platform, that can do many things without restricting the users of it.
It's the PC. Who would have thought! _____________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008

Edited by: cBOLTSON on 07/06/2011 11:12:15 Im going to say this early before its too late, well mabye it is too late. DUST isnt going to be very sucessful. PS3 only is a bad choice.
I wanted to buy DUST when I heard about it, then you said it wouldnt be on PC (**** MOVE) So I got my younger brother looking at it, he seemed intrested but now you say its ps3 only, so he wont buy that.
How do you guys come up with decisions like this?
ALSO -
Originally when you were showing us dust last year at the fanfest presentation you were using XBOX controllers!! MAKE DUST FOR THE PC or this will fail.

Can't even get past the "Age Verification" on the Dust514 site. Site only working from a PS3 browser, or how could you even "verify" anything? :P

Not having dust available on PC is a damn shame. Killed any excitement that I had about the game into disappointment.

Unless they've then said elsewhere that it will forever be PS3 only, in which case ignore me.
yup, this^
So, has anyone tried the DUST BETA yet?

I think it is a mistake to single out a single platform for the release of dust..... As a 360 user I feel you left myself and the rest of us out in the cold... To me, it's the same thing as saying that eve is only pc or mac compatable. Dust no longer matters to me.... Stupid idea

Shame you've just lost at least half, if not more, of your potential customers just because it was "MMO-Friendly". I know quite a few people who now won't be getting this. I bet every player in Eve does...

Please don't take this as "bitter", but I fail to see how it is unique. There's been one or two (admittedly fail) game projects to tie mmo to console environments, and there's quite a few studios exploring and even working on recombining elements & trends like platforms, casualitions of gaming, monetisation, gratification, etc.
What am I missing (yes, honest question).

Given last FPS game I played was Terminator: Future Shock be my guest and make the game for "Rubber Duck" consoles I don't care. Though I would be very disappointed if this new pet started to leech EvE resources (developers).

It's the PC. Who would have thought!
They don't want to remain rooted in that market however. They want to diversify. Spread commercial reach and risk. On a strategic level, aiming Dust to create its own core user groups & types makes perfect sense, just like it once did with EVE.
Add to that the temptations of monetisation models, and do not underestimate the necessity to do other things once a while than those you have done for years.

If Dust proves to be a commercial success on the PS3, will CCP re-consider cross-platform support, namely XBox and PC?

The only thing I don't get is the MMO-Friendly aspect. I mean PSN's had more downtime than a Gosport Hooker, it was the whole reason I got rid of the PS3 and dusted off my XBox (because what's the point in buying a single-player console these days?).
I know 1 person who still has a PS3, and ironically it's the ONLY one of my friends who has no interest in FPSs.
Ah well, can't win them all. I mean you'd have thought that an extra 4 million potentials over the PS3 would have swung it but that's why I'm not in marketing :)

What do I need to do to ensure I get a beta?
Also, all this complaining about not being on xbox, I will wager that 95 percent of the people crying don't even OWN AN XBOX lol.

They made a Sony only agreement. This means they got money from them. This is the "MMO friendly" environment we are talking about. This agreement will force them to say nothing about their plans to port it to another console. Everyone who has a PS3 knows that the multiplayer part sux so badly compared to the Live Service. So this was just a money decision and nothing else.

I'll bet they know more people who own XBoxs than PS3's though - that's why I wanted it there, so my non-PC gaming friends could play while I played Eve.

It's an "exclusive" deal. Whatever options, they'll have to wait for after the expiration of such terms.
And again, since they want to grow a core userbase for Dust, they will be VERY cautious of things that can easily get in the way of that.
Btw, your sig is borked.

Looks quite awesome. I own both and barely play console games unless there's an exclusive out and I'm forced to get it for that particular console.
I'm guessing as many have already stated that M$ said sorry, we aren't going to allow you to set up the game the way you want it and that's why we have it as a ps3 exclusive.
THINK PEOPLE! CCP is a company who's in it to make money. They would be dumb to not release it on the 360. That's a HUGE share of the console market. So why would they skip out on it??? It had to have been something M$ said to prevent them from making the game they wanted.
I'm sure we'll find out in the very near future but my guess is, don't cry to CCP. Go cry to M$ for having BS rules for their console.
