Do you think SOE will move future fanfests to another country once the aquisition of CCP is completed at the end of summer?

I actually prefer Sony's system (never been a fan of the morons on XBox live... imagine if you could HEAR the idiot pubbies in Jita local... christ) than Microsoft's, but I can see why people would be concerned.


the kids on psn are much worse then xbox., besides muting on xbox is easy, or you can sit in party chat and hear no one, or just your friends.

There won't be any "fan"fests if that happens. More likely a collection of angry neckbeards with sharp hidden objects.
Nah. I have hopes for the future. I want to believe.

If Microsoft wanted their chance for a hostile takeover, they should have lightened their XBL dev restrictions.

Same feeling here.



As long as Dust stays CCP property, I think there's not much Sony can do than wine on contract terms, you know, the kind of stuff those jerks of attorneys like to fap on.

Thing is that I don't see that much first person shooter staying only on console because this is why it could stagnate quite fast, but I'm not a console player at all.
All I know is those PC shooter titles, for some of them are just monsters of gaming industry, nad that Dust could probably beat or get to the same rank if they'd be on PC rather than console.
It's a strategic choice from CCP I don't understand quite well.

SOE bought the company that made Everquest. They bought the company that made the Matrix MMO. There's another one but I can't remember it...

But we don't want either company anywhere near Eve.

Get those trolls in while you can. Forum ban lists carry over to all Sony games. Not even Hilmar can save you...

Haha, famous last words from many a ruined game forum.

Anyway as sad as it is to admit Sony merely having their foot in CCP's door does not bode well for our (distant?) future.
And as much as I love this game there is a masochistic part of me that is sort of curious to see how fast poor old Eve dies (and it will) if Sony does eventually take over. I think the NGE will seem like a parachute drop compared to the free fall Eve would take.

I'm considering buying a ps3 for dust.

WTB DUST/EVE THEMED PS3 SKIN

As soon as CCP announced Dust as a PS3 exclusive it was obvious that it was unlikely that it would ever come to the PC. SOE don't want a potential competitor to Planetside 2.

The only way Dust will come to the PC is if it flops hard on the PS3, if the boxes hardly move and the income from the cash shop is poor CCP will be desperate to try and salvage it and recoup the investment. CCP might even have a PC port ready to go as soon as the PS3 version is released, just in case it does flop.

Sony probably have little to no interest in acquiring CCP or EVE, Sony are still making massive losses and have been undergoing significant restructuring, they are pulling many product lines and laying off staff across most of their departments. SOE is no exception, several projects have been cancelled and they have been closing studios and sacking staff.

I don't see why they would want to try and acquire a developer that only recently went through its own cycle of layoffs and restructuring and may still face an uncertain future.

SOE has nothing to do with the PS3. SOE ruins games faster than a $5 hooker turns a trick. SOE would be the death of this game. You don't want SOE anywhere near this game.

Nobody deserves Eve anyway.

The only jerks I might be inclined to thing they should do something about is Linux scum, but those are too much preoccupied now counting their dollars instead of doing the right thing !
Just fock off bunch of freakin bitches, you don't deserve Eve.

Various reasons. MS limits connections with outside sources so providing chat between dust and eve would be problematic (especially voice) also on xbox live you cant hide your identity which is kind of important in eve (unless you purchased multiple gold accounts). Basically Sony's policies are a lot more open which makes development a lot easier.

Mark Jacobs Former CEO of Mythic Entertainment said the same thing

(yes, EA was involved there, but same concept)
