DUST 514 = PS3 Exclusive
« on: June 08, 2011, 06:13:42 am »

So, yeah, that awesome looking MMOFPS from CCP (the guys that have made EvE) is going to be PS3 exclusive because of a really beneficial contract with Sony.

Good job on screwing over your own playerbase, you bastards. Quitting EvE and I'm still not going to buy a PS3.

Really, why would you even do this?

Yeah, you're horrible people for not breaking contracts.
And doubly horrible for making a contract in the first place that might possibly be in your own best interest!

I hate you too, makers of EvE!

With the issues people seem to have with cross-platform multiplayer, and a game that's supposed to tie in to a MMO, where consitency is key, I think it makes sense they'd stick with one console.

Figures. It still sucks for the 360 owners, though.

As much as I dislike console MMOs (even more than regular MMOs) I must fully agree here.

True, but Xbox LIVE is (or was back when I had a 360) absolutely terrible for updates compared to PSN.

I think from the beggining they've said it's being designed as a console game.

I heard from somebody that they said they didn't want to cannibalize players from EVE.

Considering the kind of players that play EVE, I don't think they need to worry about them switching over to an FPS.  :-P  They should release it for PC also.

Interview on RPS.

I wonder what will happen when console players lose interest after so many months and EVE players can't conquer other planets, or the only EVE group that has a co-operating DUST group can conquer everything.

Yeah, because it wasn't like they said two years ago that they were going to make it exclusive to 360 AND PS3, was it? Hell no.

It'd make more sense if they stuck to PC.

So a game pandering purely to corporate dickheads sign up a spinoff with corporate dickheads? Color me unsurprised.

Actually, considering the two games tie into each other they may have a point there.
