I don't see much of a future for Dust, but then I didn't see much of a past for it either.

I would assume that the current links between EvE and Dust will remain, but beyond that any of us on here can only guess.

Now that Dust is established on the PS3, and CCP now have the experience and contacts necessary to release games on Sony's consoles, one could imagine Dust being ported to the PS4 at some point in the future.

Or am I way off the mark here?

The relation between EvE and DUST?

Why, they're practically twins.

We'll see what SONY does.

If they don't see any value in having DUST revamped for PS4, then the Big Flushing Noise won't be far away.

It's hardly their decision beyond “do we want it in the store or not“ (and why wouldn't they?). Epic is a far bigger decision-maker in that regard.

Anyone who thinks CCP is going to throw away a whole game's worth of assets and 2 years of dev time when a simple solution would be to port to PC, then they are thick in the head.

Since there are more PS3's CCP has stated they are focused on the PS3. Not sure this is the wisest decision, since the demographic that are most likely to buy launch PS4s and the demographic that play Dust are most likely heavily overlapping. What I foresee as additional interaction will be centralized on Faction warfare initially. Installations that can fire from the ground into space is what I believe will be the next step.

You really think someone would do that? Just log into EvE and tell lies?

It's pretty simple really. CCP spent a lot of money and time on DUST to implement and tie it to EVE. In order for them to bring it to the PS4 they would have to spend more time and money revamping code. Considering the PS4 is just a PC with propriety software installed they would be better served bringing a port to the PC. More than likely, DUST will die a slow death as more people adopt the PS4. If CCP want to keep DUST relevant (if it even is now) they will need to port it to PC or PS4.


Edit: the article in the above post only states they are not focusing on that, and it is a possibility, but not heir focus. It never says anything about there not being a PS4 version. Just not now.

Didn't take long...

Yeah, CCP just doesn't want to... No other reason really!

There’s no reason why CCP couldn’t bring PlayStation 3 exclusive shooter DUST 514 to other platforms – except that it doesn’t want to.


Not to rag on CCP here, but that's pretty stupid to have sole support on a 6...ish yr old platform.

So they haven't really said anything in either direction.

If you pay attention to console history, PS3 online services will come to an end within a few years.

Same thing happened with the PS2! Sure, Sony kept production on the PS2 up until last year. But they pulled online services within 2-3 years after the PS3 came out. As time goes on, Sony's attention will switch from old to new. It happens with every Gaming company in history. (With the exception of the stubborn and Indy developers.)

CCP really needs to get their priorities straight! I'm more then likely missing a few details and what their future plans are. With EVE, I went from 7-1 ACCTS, mainly from lack of interest and new features. Dust 514, played it for a week. Never looked at it again! Dying platform, only 3 game modes, oh I could go on... WoD, what's that again? And I'm half interested in Valkyrie. Looks cool, but it'll be ridden with micro transactions and I'm not buying a Rift to play it!

I really hope there would be more interaction between dust and eve.

I play both games and there is not much to do in dust for my corporation that would make effect in eve atm.

Maybe FW some day..

Well, we fund their game. I say in return we should be able to commit genocide on random planets. It's only fair.
