I love how all you people saying that think anyone cares Roll

It is going to be a PS3 exclusive and it is going to stay that way...


For a year, anyway. After that I wouldn't be surprised to see a PC port released (not like it would be hard to port it to the PC)


Dream on... CCP takes forever to do anything. If we even do see a PC port (I highly doubt it) it won't be out until AT LEAST 2014 (release of the PS4)...



There's no great technical challenge in porting a game created with the UT3 engine to the PC. Sony have bought themselves a year of PS3 exclusivity, but there's nothing to stop CCP'd Dust team spending that year preparing a PC port, and every incentive for them to do so.

(Also, CCP aren't doing the Dust dev work. Their chinese merc contractors are.)

Many already agreed, im doing the same.
Even if i have a xbox360 myself, shooters = PC, that is all.

EDIT is saying: While console love boys and girls may say, who cares that we are saying this. They do care sooner or later, marketing would be doing a fail job if they do not watch the feedback on the console only decision closely.

Im going to take a educated guess and say, that 1/4th of the possible customers will not buy Dust514.

That is the ppl like me and many others stating, no pc no play.

To ignore that fact, would be a obvious marketing desaster for anyone with 5th grade math knowledge.

Good night, good fight!

Scams involving DUST514 beta keys are not allowed. Much like EVE Online accounts, the DUST514 beta keys are non transferrable and selling them, or offering to sell them is thus prohibited.

what the heck did you think was going to happen? did you think people were going to play nice with this? this is EvE Online!!!

I have two eve accounts where both are registered with the same e-mail address.
Will I be allowed to have 2 accounts in DUST514 even if I only have one e-mail address?
I applied for beta access under each account.

PS: I also bought a PS3 just for DUST514.
I'm excited!

Thanks!

Wonder if they'll get the message when only 40 people sign up. I'm with everybody else, I'll play when it comes to a PC near me.

When can we buy skill books for Orbital Bombardment?


Exactly.

If I cannot participate without buying a $300 child's toy, I'm afraid I will have to nuke from orbit every last Dustie I can detect.

Period.

I'm somewhat confused by everyone so upset at the beta being only open to English speakers. Doesn't it make it a lot easier for everyone involved to keep the standard method of communication in one language? With all due respect to every language out there, but would I wrong to assume that more EVE players know English than any other language?
Just my two cents. I'm signed up and ready to go, never had much of an enthusiasm for my PS games, but this is gonna get me goin again.

Sorry to burst the PC-centric bubble, but CCP thinks Dust 514 being on the PC would take players from Eve online. It's pretty scary to me, as a newcomer to this community, who is excited about Dust 514 to find that some think that "Oh, this'll kill CCP," and the like.Your game is changing and growing beyond the willingness some of you have to access these new areas of growth. You'll need to find a way to grapple with it because what CCP is trying to do is unprecedented, and while I will gripe and critique about technical mishaps that might or will happen with Dust 514, I stand by the Dust 514 project because of the vision they have.

"Our PC only game universe is reaching out to different gamers." Do you know of the gameplay possibilities this will bring? The massive influx of new blood and ideas will only enrich the universe of Eve including the obviousness that ground combat creates an entirely new level of depth to the Eve experience. CCP is attempting to break the mold of the relationship between games and gaming genres, you should do some research and figure out how much work they're doing and what they see the future of gaming to be, and maybe you won't fall prey to becoming an anachronism to the video gaming industry and see the immense opportunities Dust 514 can yield.

As the Deputy Director of Seraphim Initiative, I am apparently part of a minority that sees the potential of the immense contribution that both Eve and Dust players can bring to the Eve world. In an interview with Magvets, I stressed the need for modesty and humbleness for the experience that the Eve community has, as a community that stands apart from other gaming communities, but so far, I've been shown that I overestimated the maturity, opportunism, and tenacity of the Eve community, and if this is a representation of the welcome that FPS newcomers to New Eden will see when Dust 514 releases, and it will release, I see dark times ahead for us. As a gaming community, we need to rally together, call CCP out on bad calls, but embrace change, as that is the only way to prosper, for CCP financially, and therefore your core game, Eve Online, and the gaming industry as a whole.

Man, 10 days after the original post and ONLY 16 pages.

I can remember back when threads blew up to 16 pages in under 10 minutes back before CCP pi_ssed everybody off and Hillmar dared them to quit.

Hello??? CCP??? You there??

Does the IN-activity of this thread tell you how much LACK of interest there is in DUST for the community as a whole?

It should.

Personally, I couldn't care less about Dust, no matter the platform. I ALREADY pay CCP WAY too much for WAY to little of a game.

Sign up for Dust BETA?? That offer actually did give me a good chuckle. I mean, I ALEADY play in one CCP Beta, and it's not even that good, it's called: EVE. I guess I could try one of their products for free..... but, I would have to actually believe they are going to make something out of Dust when they have already made such a mess out of Eve. Oh, and having a PS3 would help, but, I am NOT going to buy a PS3 for ONE game. Sorry CCP, the money-well that I have been for you for going on 8 years is starting to dry up for you. You SHOULD be concerned about that, but I KNOW you're not.

I don't know about the "humbler" part Hillmar promised, but we are already at the "smaller" part of CCP; and it looks like its getting even smaller every day.

Peace all.

Ive been around Eve for years and suffice it to say that trolls have long since killed the horse yet somehow manage to continue beating those dry bones about every groundbreaking development in the game... Seriously, you dont have to play Eve if you feel that negatively toward it. Go play WOW.. or Frogger...

I would totally have been up for beta testing this game if I had known about this thread sometime before today.

So you really dont like the idea of Dust 514 being available only on PS3 (for now)? Then GTFO of the thread and stop wasting bandwidth. Go cry to Microsoft for being a bunch of jerkweeds about the technology. CCP didnt have to give us the opportunity to get in on this game at all for BETA...
