Has anyone read what CCP is planning to do with dust514 considering the PS3 must be near the end of it's life cycle? The entire eco-system in Dust would rot when everyone moves to the latest platform. Sony will probably break the 6 year cycle this time but for how long? That worries me because you could end up with a huge portion of the game only frequented by the type of people you can still find in MUDs and stuff.

A sharp mind you have Sir. I doubt anyone has considered this possibility before now.

And a sharp tongue you...so what is the answer if this question has been endlessly ruminated on as you sarcastically suggest?

Why are you questioning ccp how they spend their money. You don't. Have a clue and need to go buy some space barbie clothes. Nothing to see here move along.

Yes. I have read what CCPs published plans are regarding DUST 514 which is to publish exclusively on the PS3. They have not published their plans post PS3s life. We could speculate that they would shift DUST to another platform as that would be a logical move to make if it was successful.
"Sony will probably break the 6 year cycle this time but for how long?"
Its almost impossible to answer this question and if we did it would be through sheer speculation.
Happy now?

My guess would be they'll make it work on PS4 too in some shape or form.
My hope is they'll move it to a PC title if/when the console crowd gets bored and moves onto the next shiny object. |

Edited by: Cpt Greagor on 29/07/2011 15:26:08 Supposedly the PS3 is supposed to last until 2015 or 2016, I don't remember which. I'm not so sure if it will really be that long till they release the PS4, but I'm sure CCP will figure out a way to quickly fix Dust to work with the PS4. Much faster than they fixed SC's I hope....oh wait... R A I N B O W S |

its never made much sense why there investing in a console thats near end of it's life, and why they have limited the game to ps3, its suppose to be the next link in the chain. making eve stronger, making the idea stronger. by having it a ps3 title and no sign of xbox 360 or pc, dust is going to be a nonstarter before its even released.
consoles are the plug and play of the gaming world, at the same time the games themselves demand very little in terms of hours of play etc i just can't see a game like dust working on a console. sure people will play it, but i doubt most console gamers will want to invest the time expected by the corps.
also open something else, most consoles are in the living room, connected to the main entertainment system, more so for the ps3, with blueray/3d/streaming.
what happens when your corp's planets are being assaulted and corrie happens to be on!

What does it matter? I'm pretty sure console games shelf life aren#t nearly as long as PC games.
Consoles are for quick fix's really, I don't know many console games that came out years ago that people still play actively. take halo for example, never really played it myself but it's meant to be a good game right? but how many still play that? there's been how many new installments of it?
and really, you think every games company should just...not many any more games now? Do you think the second Ps4 comes out at the stupidly insane price that it will, every Ps3 owner will jump and get it? Do you think the Ps3 games won't be backwards compatible for it?
Stupid question really.

earlier this year it was said that ps3 was halfway through its life cycle.
also sony's game director even said they hadnt even started on the new ps4 yet.
So while the gaming business is a lot about rumours, shadow ops etc next time you post something ignorant at least back it up with something remotely not making you look like a illiterate chum who don't know how to search on internet.

PS4 will most likely play PS3 games without any trouble.
Until the castrated PS4slim comes out at half the price of the original PS4. ----- CCP is still under the misconception that by waving a bunch of (NeX store items) in our faces, we'll give in to our urges and (buy) them. Bring back the hangar view and its functionality! |

Since seeing a PS4 being mentioned on these forums, I decided to do a little research via google. Everything I've seen about PS4 and its supposed release date is purely speculative. As far as I've seen, Sony has not announced a PS4 and has even given indications that it is still focused on the PS3 for now.

games were still coming out for the ps2 even after the ps3 launched. its not like you aren't allowed to play last gen consoles.

I wouldn't consider the PS3 to be near the end of its lifespan... PS3 should still be top-of-the-line for another few years. And should still even be good beyond that, of course.

As discussed in great detail, PS4 has barely even hit the table yet, so you can expect to wait until at least 2014 before there's even an expected launch date.
Quit being a pot stirrer.

There are still new PS2 games coming out just or a point of reference. Thats over 10 years of viability. Sony planned a 10 year life for it but said they will make and support games for it till people stop buying it.
Second point of reference the PSone had 11 years of life itself.
Where is this 6 year cycle stuff coming from exactly? By my count ps3 has another 4 years easy based on past Sony examples.
Also the game is being sold through the PS store. Which has PS one games and PS2 games and PS minis for sale on it. Many of which sell more the the newer prettier games.
Even if PS4 comes out any game sold through the PS store will prob be there for the next 20 years and next two generations of PS systems easy.
I dont know what you are freaking out about OP. Since history shows you are way off the mark.

This! and considering that the game runs on the U3 Engine (at least the last information I read about it stated that) it'll probably friggn easy to adapt it to a new system and use all the new shiny stuff.
I still consider the PC the prime platform for an MMO FPS and it saddens me that it won't come out on the PC but fact is, even if the PS4 comes out in the near future it won't make a damn difference if the game is any good. ----------------------------- OMG THE SKY IS FALLING!

I expect CCP to put Dust on PC as soon as they are legally able to, and that will probably be long before the PS4 comes out.

Well if Sony has anything to say about it, Im sure they would rather have you buy their own version of Dust 514 for the PC, a.k.a Planetside 2..

That's the most ironic thing about all this mess anyways. CCP goes PS3 exclusive with an MMO FPS and sony themselves release an MMO FPS on PC, the platform that is best for it and actually wants something like that. ----------------------------- OMG THE SKY IS FALLING!

It won't surprise me at all if eventually a PC version comes out.
That being said, CCP has already stated that patching the game to run on future generations of PS consoles would be a realtively simple matter. Remember, the console is only the client interface, you are interacting on Tranquility just like when you play EVE. ===== The world will not end in 2012, however there will be a serious nerf to Planetary Interaction. |

Edited by: Nova Fox on 29/07/2011 17:34:40 I have full faith and confidence that CCP Stuido Shanghai can just as easily recode the game for additional future platforms and upgrade the graphics again to take advantage of newer systems that become compatiable (ie if xbox live silver decides to play nice with other networks) .

Not only are games still being released for the PS2, but Sony is still selling PS2's. Of course they've been redesigned since the early models. And I believe Sony has sold more PS3's in the past year than any year since its release.

To Op:
Rumor that I trust the source, but otherwise can't prove for **** so don't ask, but it seems playstation likes to pay for development costs to download games which come from companies who haven't published with them before, if the company will make the game exclusive to Playstation.
Seeing as how designing for a console is simpler in many ways than designing for a variety of pc's with many distinct setups and capabilities? And considering Microsoft already told CCP that they wouldn't be able to integrate Dust with EvE since cross-platforming is now firmly against their rules?
Lots of speculation, but I guess they COULD just pause development and wait till their PC design team catches up, or the next gen console is released (and we all know how screwed up years one and two are on ANY new next-gen console ...).
Just saying.

Does it even matter, really? Isn't Dust a fps? They have very short life cycles as newer, bigger and better ones are always coning out. Like most console games, Dust will have its time and fade out in a matter of months.
