With this recent update, does that Beta keys have been released? If so, that's a real bummer. I didnt get one, even though i signed up. D:

It's kinda ludicrous that there are PC fanbois here who don't believe there are millions addicted to Halo and enjoying it just fine with their thumbsticks.

You're absolutely right though, it only works if EVERYONE's on thumbsticks. its arguably slower and less responsive, but still fun and balanced if you're used to thumbsticks and everyone's using them.

Your observation is exactly why we WONT see a PC version of Dust 514 - this is a console game. PC players would indeed smoke anyone trying to play with a Dualshock or Move controller, so its not going to happen. CCP doesnt need the revenue bad enough to try to push sales numbers fast and open up more platforms....I sincerely doubt we'll see a "PC fallback" cause they aren't selling PS3 copies fast enough.

I know its tough medicine to swallow, but there are just as many intelligent adults who enjoy playing video games on a couch with a controller as there are that prefer a task chair and a keyboard. This is a chance for CCP to share the love with the other half, and why not? This allows more people to enjoy one of the deepest gaming worlds out there. Platforms and input methods are simply personal choice - at the end of the day this just means that more gamers will have a chance to experience New Eden in their own way.

What??? Actually see how something turns out before we all pass judgement? Such rationality in online forums is unheard of.

For the record, I personally could care less whether Dust is controlled by thumbstick, mouse, or Wii-mote. Games are games, i enjoy them regardless of platform or input method as long as they are fun.

Including KB / Mouse support would be a nice gesture at least to all the PC shooter fans dismayed by the console decision. I hope its included, unless it becomes overpowered. My guess is that if a PS3 mouse user is smoking all those that use dualshocks, they may just have everyone use dualshocks / Move guns. Perhaps this will be ironed out in the beta tests?

You're right though, panic and fury are all premature at this point. There's a ton we still just don't know about the game.

I really dont get it that you arent going to port it on PC as well. I mean, the argument of unfair advantage
for PC users doesn't even stand since PS3s can use keyboards and mouses as well and you said Dust will be compatible with them.

I mean, is it only for the "exclusive" tag that youre doing this or what?
