I think it would be cool to have Eve on every platform possible to expand the population.


Eve on a PS4 would be possible. I for one would utilize that function.

Possible sure.
Functional, maybe.

But why?

Because not all of us have access to $1,000+ gaming rigs.

So tough luck, lets give EVE the inevitable "dumbing down" to get it to run on a console so the beggars of the world won't cry. EVE isn't a right...

Well, Dust flopped, why not watch EVE flop on console.

I mean... does anyone really see the typical console player having the patience required for this game?


As if the typical "PC player" is any different. Gamers are gamers and gaming is gaming.


The division between PC and console "crowds" is both made-up and nonsensical. Just another stupid example of tribalism, "us" vs "them".

QFT.


Charming to see PC owners bash console owners. I never understood that animosity, perhaps it stems from beeing insecure? I own a PC (for gaming and some work) and a PS3 for gaming. Some segments of the console owners don't have the patience for EVE and others do, and this is, of course, also the case with people who only own a PC. Since the PS4 works like a charm with KB/M, runs much like a PC (no more cell) the only problem I see is the consoles capacity concerning future updates of EVE's graphic engine. But again...this is also the case with all the PC people with older machines. If the investment to port, and continually support, EVE is moderate then perhaps CCP should look into it.

Also, this is my first post, where is the cake?

Even 5 cents is a waste of cash they can use to make EVE better on a PC...

Nope, comes from consoles being poor at games with depth

And I own about a dozen of the things

But none of them is older than a PS2

Because I already have a PC and a DVD player and I dont feel like standing and waving my arms around like a windmill

EVE isn't DUST. DUST was CCP's plan to expand to the console crowd, and they did it that way instead of porting EVE to console because they will never port EVE to console.

And the fact is, the console crowd is a much more casual crowd, and DUST is a much more casual game. Sure you can get casual games on PC, but I'm only going to make this point one more time.

You can't upgrade your PS4 hardware. You are stuck with what you've got. That means, if it gets ported to PS4, it either gets a very limited client, or it stops developing altogether. In any case, it won't happen. Developing a whole new port for console is what DUST is, and they already spend enough time on that.

If EVE ever goes to console, I for one would be incredibly sad, but I would also definitely find a new game.

The point I'm 'missing' is irrelevant because the point that PC hardware > limited proprietary hardware supersedes it.

I agree with what you are saying

But the point is you CAN play games on a console without resorting to a joypad

No need to get snippy, you were just wrong and the gentleman pointed it out

Tsk

No manners in New Eden, thats one of the problems

Is this true? The gallente epic arc ends with you blowing up a child pron studio. Thread over.

I wasn't wrong, though, because I never argued against keyboard and mouse on console. I use it myself. I just explained why that is irrelevant to whether or not EVE should be on console. That is not snippy, that is just an explanation, with straight talk. Explanations don't require manners, last I checked.
