And we felt that by being on console that would open up the world to a much wider audience. And as a corporate policy we wanted to learn how to make games for a console.

RPS: But at the same time, obviously it is opening up to a wider audience, but also you’re closing it off to your core audience.

Thomas Farrer: Well, we don’t want to cannibalise our own player-base. The thing with the world of EVE Online is that it interests an awful lot of people. It’s a fascinating world. We wanted to make that accessible to a wider audience, to invite new people in.

The "why" was somewhat rhetorical - I know their reasons, I just don't agree with them or approve of them.

I predict the PS3 will become just like the PS2, it will still be popular and still have games coming out for it for quite a while.

Microsoft has always been what Sony is becoming. Sony used to be great, but I guess they finally realized they can stoop to Microsoft's level without losing customers. After all, there was literally zero competition against it.

So what might have made sense would have been to put DUST-514 on a new Nintendo platform, however this would require Nintendo to come out with a high-graphics and physics performance console. Heck, maybe that's a good idea. The Wii II, it could use advanced computer technology to put 2007+ graphics into a game with a Wii control system. Then actually make some truly good games on it, you know like adventures and role-playing games, action games, games with a long story or lots of multiplayer options. Perhaps one of the biggest failures of the Wii is that there aren't any games you can play on it for more than about 20 hours before you finish the game and have replayed it so many times you're tired of it.

Interestingly, Sonys own Planetside 2 is coming out on PC (its out on Ps3 as well I hear but PC should be its primary market).

Should've made it a PC game (shooters with gamepad = lol) and should've self published instead of going through any of the "established" houses of mediocrity (MS, Sony, EA, ...).

CCP didn't pick the wrong console. They picked wrong: console.

You're aware that CCP have explicitly confirmed that the DUST client on the PS3 will support keyboard & mouse, right?

I'm told that you can plug a generic $10 USB KBM combo into a PS3; it doesn't require special hilariously overpriced SonyWare™ equipment or anything.

People have already given the reason, Microsoft was far more restrictive than Sony. That said, both suck, just for different reasons. In the end Sony was willing to work with CCP, MS wasn't.

Personally, I won't be playing it unless I get handed a PS3 (I won't spend 100+ on a system for one game), or it gets ported to PC. That's the one I'm really confused about, why won't they port it to PC? But oh well... maybe (hopefully) in the future.

Got a pc? Go play planetside 2, its the same type of game

Got all of the above but no ps3? im sure you could sell them all and have enough for a ps3

Wrong console, wrong company.


Sony - one of the most vile, despicable companies on this planet has been literally bending their customers over every single chance they get for the quite awhile now. Look at the PS3. They removed the backwards compatibility for one reason, so they could "remake" older games and resell them for more money.

Now, look at the rumors for the PS4. Absolutely no backwards compatibility. It looks like they are trying to completely destroy the reselling of games because games now require you to log in to PSN. If you resell, the person that buys the game will not have complete access to the game because the key is locked to the original owner's PSN.

Imagine if this worked with cars. You buy a used car but since you aren't the original owner the brakes won't work, ever. Have fun!

How does this bode with Dust514? When CCP ports it to PS4 will they continue support for the PS3 version or are we all going to get screwed once again?

How could you partner with such a reprehensible company CCP?


Yeah Sony have really screwed their customers over by providing them with free online play and a reliable system.

If there is one company that has a history of supporting old consoles after they released a new one, it's Sony. It cost time and money to make your console backwards compatible and not that many people care anyway. Stop playing Halo and read a book once i a while.

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

You sir are an idiot. please wake up and join reality before you post this nonsense.

It is common knowledge in the gaming world EA, Microsoft and Sony want to kill the used video game market, this market does not generate any cash for them and they are greedy bastards. This is common knowledge to those that watch the Video game market.
This is not a SONY only thing, this is across the board. The used game market takes profits out of their pockets is what the Higher ups at EA, Microsoft and SONY think.

The next Xbox will not have backwards compatibility either.

Justt like PS2, they will support PS3 for another year or so depending how PS4 sells.

Is it me or does this OP seem to be screaming. "I have an Xbox360 and mommy and daddy told me NO when I asked them to buy me a PS3 for Dust"


I don't own an xbox I own a ps3 and it's the last PoS I will ever buy from Sony.


PS3 is not POS stop it.. LoL

That's thing blows XBox360 out of the water and will probably have as much power as the next XBox release. Sony knows how to make consoles.

10 year shelf lives on all threee versions on the Playstation..

Don't hate just to hate.. its unbecomming..

both Xbox 720 and PS4 (Orbis) wont allow the use of games resold so either way the OP's arguement is null & void.


Dust514 should really have been a PC title, as it is the only system that is not restricted in anyway similar to the way consoles are.
