Sony - one of the most vile, despicable companies on this planet has been literally bending their customers over every single chance they get for the quite awhile now. Look at the PS3. They removed the backwards compatibility for one reason, so they could "remake" older games and resell them for more money. Now, look at the rumors for the PS4. Absolutely no backwards compatibility. It looks like they are trying to completely destroy the reselling of games because games now require you to log in to PSN. If you resell, the person that buys the game will not have complete access to the game because the key is locked to the original owner's PSN. Imagine if this worked with cars. You buy a used car but since you aren't the original owner the brakes won't work, ever. Have fun! How does this bode with Dust514? When CCP ports it to PS4 will they continue support for the PS3 version or are we all going to get screwed once again? How could you partner with such a reprehensible company CCP? You sir are an idiot. please wake up and join reality before you post this nonsense. It is common knowledge in the gaming world EA, Microsoft and Sony want to kill the used video game market, this market does not generate any cash for them and they are greedy bastards. This is common knowledge to those that watch the Video game market. This is not a SONY only thing, this is across the board. The used game market takes profits out of their pockets is what the Higher ups at EA, Microsoft and SONY think. The next Xbox will not have backwards compatibility either. Justt like PS2, they will support PS3 for another year or so depending how PS4 sells. Is it me or does this OP seem to be screaming. "I have an Xbox360 and mommy and daddy told me NO when I asked them to buy me a PS3 for Dust" I don't own an xbox I own a ps3 and it's the last PoS I will ever buy from Sony. Hope you don't plan on ever watching Blu Rays because SONY invented and sells the tech for Blu ray's. Every blue ray player sold is a profit for Sony. Also PS3 is the best Blu Ray player on the market today.

There are controllers for the PC you know? That sounds like a solid plan. Remove the core input device for a PC and require all your users to purchase a controller if they don't have one so they can play the game. I can see you are a budding businessman. Yah, cause requiring everyone to buy a $300 console is SOOOOOOOOOOO much cheaper then a controller, RIGHT? Way to show that once again sony fan boys are complete rubbish at any other thought process other then "lolz throw gernade BOOOOOOOOOM lolz again again BOOOOOOM lolz" Dear child. Nobody is required to buy a $300 console. Nor did I ever suggest it should be so. I am certainly not going to purchase one. Fortunately my partner has one, so if I want to try the game I can use that. Please try to not invent positions for other people - it is making you look really, really stupid. You can't back track out of your quoted stupidness. You suggested making people pay for a $300 console "if they don't have one" instead of a $10 controller "if they don't have one". If it will help you sleep at night though, you can keep trying to backtrack out of it.

Sony accepted because they are absolutely DESPERATE to get something (an fps) people want to play on the PS3 that may increase sales of the system because they have absolutely nothing left to lose. Developers left en-mass because of how the PS3 was handled, PS4 will be even worse. Probably gonna be a $700 dollar system that won't sell jack squat in units.

And Microsoft said no because it involved them not being in total control of Dust and how it connected to Eve. They're both as bad as each other TBH, Microsoft because they like to keep an iron grip on the software and ban paying customers for minor modifications to hardware, Sony because they removed the ability to run homebrew on their hardware, which incidentally pissed off a lot of people, and their PSN interface belongs in the 80's.

I told you it makes sense to target a new group of customers from a business perspective. That is point 1. When you responded that the answer balancing the different input devices between PC and Consoles was to disable the mouse on the PC and force everyone to buy a controller I said you are a s.m.r.t businessman. That is point 2. I did not suggest everyone needs to buy a console as the game is targeted at a different group of customers. You know, the ones that already OWN A PS3. The two are distinct and separate points. Sorry you cannot comprehend that.

A "new group of customers" would have been PC FPS players which is a different group then what eve is. Considering more people play PC FPS's then any single console FPS (especially anything on the PS3) should have been a clue but, well, you are the person who thinks a $300 console is less of a burden to buy then a $10 controller.

ALL SEPARATELY. (and before you satrt screaming fanboi-ism, i dont have a ps3, i have a 360, adn regretfuly pay for all this **, it annoys me, but i just cant be arsed to get a ps3)

Recent game sales would suggest that the pool of PC FPS'ers is smaller than that of console FPS'ers. So if you are looking at it like that, they went for the larger of the 2 pools of players that would allow them to achieve their desired ends.

A TV is hardware A Cell Phone is hardware that has software on it and you cannot control the OS, you can pick which OS A computer is hardware that has software on it and you can control which OS you use but unless you write your own OS then a corp does dictate how you use it.

Reaver Glitterstim Resurrected Darkness 100	Posted - 2012.04.03 04:38:00 - [89] - Quote Microsoft has always been what Sony is becoming. Sony used to be great, but I guess they finally realized they can stoop to Microsoft's level without losing customers. After all, there was literally zero competition against it. So what might have made sense would have been to put DUST-514 on a new Nintendo platform, however this would require Nintendo to come out with a high-graphics and physics performance console. Heck, maybe that's a good idea. The Wii II, it could use advanced computer technology to put 2007+ graphics into a game with a Wii control system. Then actually make some truly good games on it, you know like adventures and role-playing games, action games, games with a long story or lots of multiplayer options. Perhaps one of the biggest failures of the Wii is that there aren't any games you can play on it for more than about 20 hours before you finish the game and have replayed it so many times you're tired of it. -á"The Mittani: Hated By Badposters i'm strangely comfortable with it" -Mittens
