Reading comprehension is lacking here. There is nothing that says dust is being ported. What it actually says is that DUST 514 is shutting down May 30 of this year. It is not being ported.

The post also says CCP Shanghai has been working on a new FPS set in New Eden that is planned for the PC. And maybe later they will port that to PS4.

I am amused by this post.

The issue is that different people interpret "port" in different ways.

What we're talking about is that the concept of an FPS in New Eden has been moved to a new game and platform. We haven't actually been campaigning all this time for them to just take Dust 514 and put it on a new platform with all the problems it has.

It's a bittersweet day, to be sure.

At least the game we loved will be reincarnated in a new form.

Quite exciting news for an EVE FPS on PC and sounds promising, I'll certainly follow this. Bit sad about Dust 514 closing down though, really wanted to give that a try.

If anything you should start making more.

You can bet your ass that with this new game on PC there'll be a lot more Orbital Strikes going on.

I'm amazed Dust lasted 3 years to be honest. 3 years ago everyone told CCP that releasing a free to play FPS tied into an arbitrary space game that no-one in your target audience has ever heard of was a bad idea. The concept of Dust is solid, but it should have been a PC title from the start. I have never understood the decision to go with the Playstation exclusively. It made no sense then, it makes no sense today. Hopefully Legion or whatever it's going to be called will do a lot better.

Its failure wasn't due to the PS3.
It was actually incredibly popular for what it was, beating quite a few PC F2P game averages for a while. Probably because the PS3 didn't have many F2P alternatives compared to the saturated PC market.

Problem is, it wasn't much. The game was horribly mismanaged, and that would be true regardless of platform. The dev leads had no place being where they were. Hopefully this time around CCP Rouge and CCP Rattati will set things straight.

The idea was to bring console FPS players into the New Eden universe with a style of gameplay they enjoyed.

I was a heavy supporter of that because I hoped it could help lay the age old and ******** Console-vs-PC bullshit to rest, but sadly it wasn't to be. CCP Jian criminally mismanaged the development and the game was ruined beyond all repair early on.

About time CCP released some news on this. Confirm everyone's suspicions at least.

This is great. Since my last favorite COD2 server disappeared, the one with the exploding potatoes that when you killed someone with one, a voice said "Potatality!", I've been lacking an FPS daily fix. So I've patiently waited for something Eve-related.

Hopefully we can sneak up on people and kill them with a melee attack. In COD2 I used to giggle like Loreena Bobbit in a sausage factory whenever I did that.

I bought that eve collectors edition thing a while back, which came with a code for some special gear in DUST. It went unused because I did not have a PS3, or any intention to acquire such a device.

Anyway. I am wondering, if, when the successor to DUST is released, whether it is intended that the collectors edition code can be redeemed for stuff in the successor game.

I'd be fine with purely cosmetic items for the collectors edition code. Like a SKIN equivalent or something, vOv.
