Since it's not a PC title, I just can't get interested in this game. I'm sure as hell not buying a PS3 for it. It looks ok, but I'll play PS2 or Defiance instead. Hell hath no fury like an MMORPG player scorned. |

Well, since its only a PS3 product... it divides the Player community who loved the Eve Lore... this just makes me sad because i enjoyed Eve and i loved FPS's so i would have been glad ot get this for PC... but since its not for PC... well no money (since i dont like PS3 that much)

Without a PC release it's just $20 million down the crapper.

Unless he or she already owns a PS3, an EvE player will not be able to play the game. That's CCP taking a shit on their existing fanbase, plain and simple.

It's farily easy to understand why they are releasing it on the PS3, they want the console market, and its less of a hassle since the game will work on every unit.
There's still a chance that they will release a PC version eventually, they just want everything set up first, good anti-cheat system and every other problem coming with a PC release.
If you dont like using a controller, fine, DUST allows M&KB, just plug in it with USB.
It makes me a little sad that they are releasing it on the PS3 and not on the PC, sure the M&KB will make things ALOT better since I will never play an FPS on a console game otherwise, it's also sad because not everyone of your friends or, your corp in EVE got a ps3.
With PS2 coming along (which looks great btw), it will be hard for CCP to release DUST on the PC, but the EVE-DUST link is such an interesting, unique thing, I have somwhat respect for it. |

More failure tied to DUST 514.... would have been happier to hear it was being sunk into WOD, which sadly wasn't mentioned at all.

DUST target audience is not EVE players but console FPS gamers. |

Players come for the game, but they stay for the people- Most Devs have forgotten this. |

I would give it a go if it had been 360, but, well, as is I guess it's something that will only be happening to those 'other people' I hear so much about.

You think if they made a free facebook post and offered to give each person that tried the game $1 from that £20mil they would get more players than spending it on advertising? I do...

Originally posted by Suzie_Ford 20 Million on advertising, now we know these games cost to much to make. That seems insane to me. I think you could probably add a lot of content/features/polish for that type of money. This industry is broken beyond repair. |

Originally posted by Deathwing980 Does it divide it or does it chance doubling it? filmoret: One thing I have never figured out is why the game devs hardly ever fix simple problems that arise. It is like they don't care about the pvp community. Nitth: What makes you so sure its a simple fix? filmoret: Because most of them are. Sometimes its just changing a number in a code string other times its creating a few variables. However none of them should take over a few hours of coding. |

Doesn't mean we have to like what's being done, just that it does fall within the perview of this site, so they can't be chided on reporting about it. It's part of their job. |

Expecting PS3 gamers to start playing EVE is probably as bold as expecting EVE players to buy a PS3 to play Dust... I see a slim chance for either to happen. |

Good luck to them I really wanted to play Dust 512.................but I am not going to buy a Playstation for it. Sorry CCP, I think you made a huge mistake with the Sony exclusive. Zenimax.......players want Skyrim Online. They do NOT want WOWTES |
