EVE Information Portal

Some of you guys really make me chuckle at the elitism concerning PCs vs consoles. "I won't play it unless it's on the PC". Good stand. I guess that gives us people who don't have some really wacky ideas on FPSs and PCs a better chance to get a key. Thanks.

Personally, I played a FPS on PC once...it was an absolutely wretched experience, one that made me swear them off and has been a very easy vow to stick to. If Dust514 was on PC, I would have absolutely no interest in it. For me, a console controller is far more smooth than any keyboard/mouse combo, and there is no need to have a set-up that is overly complicated when it comes to an FPS. There is no need for more than 14-16 buttons anyways when it comes to FPSs. And if you are all about the graphics, then I can't help you. I don't buy games for graphics, I buy them for fun.

Although, I have to admit, Skyrim is absolutely gorgeous on my PS3...

OK, this is up now. MPT page is still the same, but there will be a little box in the upper right of the main account management page if you are registered. If not, go to the MPT page and spam it again.

Regarding that small debate about console players...

I m mainly playing on PS3 now. But i ve spent years on PC FPS, especially CS for more than 5 years hardcore style.
And to me, nothing will ever replace my keyboard\mouse combo.

But, came a time where maintaining a PC strong enough to play recent games decently became too much time and money consuming.

And i know a lot of people in the same situation.

So, there's no real hardcore gamers as there are no hardcore games on console... Cod being the ultimate anti-hardcore type of game. Beside MAG, no console FPS made me feel something...

But, a game that would demand a lot more involvement will find its audience. Many people are waiting for a change.


So, stop being so judgemental Wait and see.

Well there's some news on tweeter ! Goodie !


First : Keyboard\Mouse combo confirmed !

Second : No monthly subscription

Third : A gameplay video is "imminent"

Fourth : First waves into the MPT should start a couple of weeks after the video's release.

Fifht : New batch of devblogs incoming. (been asking him what will be the topic of the next one)


Most of this is from CCP_Jian

No, no misinterpretation at all here.

And, many eve fans are going to buy (or already did) a PS3 to play Dust. They'll have the possibility to use their classic KBM combo. In fact you already can play with a Mouse on most games using special controller you can find in retail (AIMON PS for example)
But, most PS3 players wont care about it as they are use to the DS3 controller.
And, the debate about KBM combo being overpowered vs console controller is obsolete. It depends how the game is programmed, and meant to be played.

Last but not least, if Dust has even a quarter of Eve's management tools, a KBM combo will be veeeeery nice to have.


So, me i see nothing but a will to offer as much possibilities as possible to all players. Thus, it s a good thing.

eh, guys?

as awesome as the KBD and MOUSE would be....i dont think it is supported. i know they will let you use a keyboard for text chat.....but it is in no way supporting keyboard and mouse game control.

well...according to the DUST514 dev blog : Tools of the trade.

read the section headed "Voice / Text Chat" and you will have your answer.


i have to say, making a game for the console, knowing that people want keyboard and mouse, and actually giving them it? on a console? what would be the point in it being on a console. that would somewhat redundant i think. in honesty, i dont really care that its no possible. i only found out recently through rumour (ehem...from the the forums) that it might be possible. the fact that its not (according to the blog) doesnt bother me.

granted, FPS's are better on PC, but come on....its not happening so why would people expect CCP to even consider having the keyboard and mouse to control it? i think some people need to get over the fact and accept that its on PS3. its going to be like nothing you have ever playing on PS3, the experience is going to be like no other shooter (when you take the big picture being EVE and DUST) you have ever played and honestly....its the ideal place to have DUST...on a console. think about it. all the PC people who are the douchbags who think that consoles are for half assed gamers and losers, they should be DAMN HAPPY! CONSOLES GUYS WILL BE DOING THE GRUNT WORK!

thankfully, the rest of us will be happy its on PS3 because they are taking a great console and making it do something new, fresh, innovative and AWESOME!


anyway, back to my point.....according to that dev blog....its controller/move only.

P.S if this blog is out of date and there is something im missing here (i try to keep up as best i can) let me know and i will stand corrected :D

I imagine CCP has already issued the Beta Test keys by now.

I'm tired of checking my email address. I'm also done waiting for some sort of info or Dev response. This thread is just another example of how CCP fails in communication and public relations.

Ignore what I just said (except for CCP being crap at communicating).

It seems that private trials have begun http://www.dust514base.com/2012/02/interview-with-executive-producer-ccp.html

Yeah, the author edited the article to add that after I had posted to clarify.

I find it funny. CCP rep says 'yes, MPT has started' but means 'no, MPT has not started for EVE players'.

Yeah well, i dont really know what to think about that last interview but i'd say it's not started yet. Mainly because the interview was made in January (see the answer regarding a new gameplay vid "early february") and i really dont think MPT could have started then.

Still, it is time now to give us all that so needed Key ^^
