Yes, I'm aware that they did. I think you missed my point.

Doesn't the fact that he liked it counter your point at least in part?

It doesn't really counter the point that console controls were absolutely terrible for that kind of game. Such is the same for EVE.

The PS4 has the advantage that you can hook up a keyboard and mouse to it, but eh...

This idea is everything that's wrong with consoles. All this can lead to is the watering-down of a great game. I don't care if you think the PS4 can handle it, what happens to it then if it gets ported? In its life, EVE has experienced many graphics and sound upgrades that it will stop getting if it winds up stagnating on hardware that cannot be upgraded, modified or swapped out.

I enjoy consoles as much as the next guy, but some games aren't meant for consoles. EVE is one of them.

Possible sure.
Functional, maybe.

But why?

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


Mine was only $854 and runs EVE just fine in 1080p at 60fps with all settings to maximum.

If you're spending over $1K, you're either getting ripped off, or you wanted something more.

well, in my oppinion the ps4 can run it better graphics wise than a comparable priced desktop :P. and it's easier than a desktop to take with you where you want to go etc..just more convinance/graphics thing..while i agree multi accounts might be a bit difficult i would still opt to play it..or hell..maybe have one runing on ps4 and the desktop for the rest of the stuff.

And on the starcraft note...it was made for the 64 "starcraft 64" to be exact i actually played it on console before the pc it took the expansion pack to play multiplayer and brood war lol.


A $500 laptop is more portable than a console and runs EVE just fine as well. What's your point?

DuSt 514 on PC would be better than console thats what I believe should had happen from the start.

But ps4 umm no thanks.

I tried DuSt 514 once and I will never go back.

I am a dedicated EvE player not a dedicated DuSt 514 Player.

Thats my two cents worth Big smile

forget DUST on PC, DUST should have been PART of the EVE client, the actual EVE, not "sorta somewhat tied in and related EVE", it should have been the exapnsion to let us walk/do **** on planets, instead they tried a standalone game in a market they didnt have any experience with for a genre already dominated and saturated for YEARS by the exact same companies.

there was literally NO logical reason for DUST to be made and exist in the form it did

To be fair, it works surprisingly well with a stylus, just because of the menu wheel that nobody with a mouse and keyboard bothers to use.

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?

Yes i have an expensive gaming rig, but not for eve.

I currently run eve on a Core 2 duo, Win xp, GT630, 4gb ram, running 2 x 22" 1680x1050 and yes usally have graphics turned right down and im scrolled out, but if i want to, i can turn them right up, use one screen and play on near max settings and enjoy some graphics porn.

You do not need to spend much money on a pc to play eve.

they wouldn't.

plus, just look at the current state of EvE....all those resources diverted for what was, from the moment it became PS3 only, a pure fail, is what led us with the current broken game we have....

CCP need to bite the bullet, drop dust and focus on EvE and AOD, let alone their valkyrie project, where noone would play because of the expansive gear required anyway (even if i love the concept, the price tag makes it a no-no).

this is bad ressource investment , and it is detrimental to the currently only CCP cash source: Eve Online.

i already stopped 2 accounts for various reasons, all of them came with odyssey.

theat was a trigger only, but the growing bugs an obvious flaws of the game, coupled with CCP attitude of 100% ignoring player feedback then complaining about player not giving feedback, led us to that.

i'm no special snowflake, but since 1 year, i saw many pilots account go dark sayin "go to hell CCP", with a big spike right after odysssey, mostly the exploration removal from the game is to blame, coupled with all the time tidi + jump animation and sensor overlay.

CCP better move FAST to put it back together, many accounts are subbed for 1y, and by +- march 2014, trust me CCP will notice that ppl are not satisfied at all

No matter how well you craft the client, or if you require KB/M, PS4 users would be second class citizens, and there would be no way to prevent it.

Lets limit progression for everyone else because some are unable to put together reasonable computer and therefore instead buy a stupid console for even more money.

Sounds good.

Funny, I just built a "Steambox" for a friend for $450, that he upgraded with a 7870 that he bought during black friday for literally nothing that absolutely annihilates the PS4 in every aspect.
