So DUST has move, controller and mouse/keyboard control for PS3
Then CCP had a moment avoiding a comment about a 2nd PC release when giving details about the mouse and keyboard
I think the quote was something like "I wonder why we did that."
Source is the recent GDC interviews. If I'm wrong I'll happily take correction

I know it's not a confirmed PC release but I think CCP understands that the PS3 has a limited life and I wouldn't doubt that at the very end of it they could simply re-release DUST for PC (or another console for that matter, WiiU?). Also if the game fails badly on PS3 they will likely try to revive it on the PC, considering the amount of money it cost to make. All we can really do is sit back and wait.
On a side note. **** YEAH DUST 514 IS FREE! |

You were paying for the ability to play EVE during that time, not for guaranteed access to whatever games they release in the future. Lol common courtesy? Common sense??? CCP needs to focus on EVE, and doesn't anyone else see the oddity of creating TWO different human scaled environments, one a basic and boring "walking in stations" for its original playerbase on the MMO side, and then a large scale first person shooter (reminding me of Battlefield 2142) for a completely new (not yet existent playerbase)? Why not just make "walking in stations" this new first person shooter, and make it PART of EVE instead of a separate game? Icarna could have been Dust, making EVE one step closer to a real-life-future-spaceship MMO that goes all the way from infantry on the ground, to Titans in the sky... wouldn't THAT be so amazing? Wouldn't you guys want that?
Because it's easier and faster
If DUST was actually within EVE it's release date would be set at 2015 not a little later this year. DUST took ages as it was, don't make my wait even longer.... CCP also stated that they intend to merge and add to the DUST/EVE mechanic over the next five years anyway. All that time you can be shooting people in the face or in a pod.
I also think you do need to do a little more research into game engines, computing power and server mechanics for the grandiose ideas. Don't get me wrong, I like them. But without any realistic approach to the ideas there isn't much point in discussing them. ALSO DUST IS FREE! Just go get a second hand PS3 (if you don't have one) for blu-ray + media centre and play it. It's free-er than Incarna was! |

One thing that's probably worth pointing out is that people may be reading too much in to that, they may easily have meant they added it for the benefit of the PC fan base.
Nicely put and of course you could be right on the money with this one. But considering and the re-packaging, re-releases and re-skinning games get these days I would be shocked if CCP didn't widen their market soon after the initial PS3 launch. I mean, HD Shadow of the Colossus and Boishock's PS3 release after it was said to be a Microsoft only game. It just makes sense to try and release a game on every possible system that can play it. Xbox Live can't (for now) because CCP would have to use their servers, not Tranquillity. Had this not been the case then an Xbox version would be on the cards already, and may still be if Microsoft realises they've just lost a whole sub-genre of console MMO's to Sony (thus giving PS3 a much longer life with many MMO ports).

B: the ps3 players, because an fps player with a mouse and keyboard can easily roflwtfpwn any and everything that uses a hand-held controller. Or C: both of the above
You forget that the MOVE control system will absolutely pwn any mouse+keyboard! LOLHACKS
But seriously go troll a CoD forum. Or are you so short sighted you can't read the addition of keyboard and mouse to DUST on the PS3 has been stated at their GDC press release?
