Is DUST coming to the PC?

The best way to find a battle will still be to communicate with DUST players and find out where they are fighting--or yourself if you are "dual-screening". However, this is something we hope to improve upon in the future.


The best way to "IMPROVE UPON" this in the future is to make DUST accessible on the PC where we play EVE.

I know millions of people play these games, but there simply isn't a single valid argument for multiplayer first person shooters existing on consoles. I know, I know, money and sony and bla bla bla.

By dual screening they just mean playing DUST on your TV while playing EVE on your PC sadly

The only way i would bother playing DUST is if it were on PC but alas :(

Bit late to worry about porting a failed idea to the PC.

Sony is never going to let that happen. They love having "exclusive" content.

Imagine you could just walk up to a console in your CQ and start up the DUST client from there, switching EVE to a low resource mode with only the chat open while you 'command' your troops. Without this cross-platform alienation, DUST could be a lot more successful and integrated a lot closer into EVE. But no, they had to sign an exclusive contract and have to wait for DUST to completely fail and turn worthless to Sony before they could even think of buying it back.

Hopefully, when they do something useful with Dust that has a real impact on EVE.

in truth I hope for "Dust Mode" via eve client where we can switch into dust and using our characters to dust combat for more integration.

This is an idea I can get behind. Yeah! Actually, I'd get in my ship, fly to the planet, drop a cargo container full of ammo and armor, eject down, land on the planet, suit up, and start shooting some baddies trying to take my PI...

I do vaguely remember a CCP dev letting slip that the sony exclusive was a time dependant contract, so maybe one day it will come to PC. Whether that's in the next couple of years or never, who knows.

I'd love to see DUST on PC, but please, no crappy attempt at integrating the two clients.

EVE players are used to running multiple clients anyway

Bah, CCP should just create a Dust mod for Saints Row IV and have the Captain's Quarters button launch Saint Rows IV.

Dont be silly OP, if Dust came to PC it might have a shot at succeeding.

Nobody at CCP wants THAT to happen.

Actually, make DUST PC exclusive, rework it to be sub rather than nickel-and-dime based, and give a bit of a sub discount to anyone subbing to both games.

it's Unreal the porting would be minimal.

But it would be fundamentally stupid.

And if you don't understand why then you most likely already own a PS3 and shouldn't ask.

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

PC Gaming for me, but out of curiosity, will Dust work on PS4?
