Title: ...and... Dust to be released on PC Post by: Setanta on May 02, 2014, 06:37:31 AM This should be interesting, I guess they finally realised it might be smart to do this given that EvE is a PC game. I wonder if they will F2P it.
Title: Re: ...and... Dust to be released on PC Post by: Niedar on May 02, 2014, 07:37:29 AM More importantly, is the fact that Dust 514 for the PS3 is being abandoned. Dust for the PC, now called Project Legion, is an entirely separate game that is being developed just for the PC.
Title: Re: ...and... Dust to be released on PC Post by: Gets on May 03, 2014, 12:29:23 AM While I've learned way long ago never to take anything a CCP rep says at face value, I'd be pretty shocked if a Playstation exclusive just suddenly got shitcanned (lol MAG) because they made a PC port. The keynote said:
Quote "Although DUST 514 and Project Legion will function independently of one another, and are different projects on different development paths, DUST itself has a lot more shooting-in-the-face action to come. The team and I remain committed to continuing to improve the experience on PlayStation 3, while simultaneously making sure “Project Legion” becomes the experience we’ve all dreamt of." Basically it's "hey, the whole cross-platform integration thing never saw the light of day since we Icelandic people are only known for fishing and hemorrhaging money." Also, since Planetside 2 and Blacklight: Retribution, two succesful F2P shooters, announced coming to the black console, not to mention Dust's low numbers compared, I saw this announcement coming a mile away. They've also said they'll make it so people can use their existing Dust characters on "Project Legion", since Dust 514 and Eve already share the same character name database anyway.

Every answer to every question about everything as of this moment, really. Title: Re: ...and... Dust to be released on PC Post by: Hoppala on May 03, 2014, 02:58:50 AM Maybe they eat to many Greendland Sharks ?
Title: Re: ...and... Dust to be released on PC Post by: Merusk on June 05, 2014, 08:15:56 AM Every answer to every question about everything as of this moment, really. Probably because they're firing everyone. Layoffs announced for CCP Iceland today. Title: Re: ...and... Dust to be released on PC Post by: Gets on June 05, 2014, 04:56:17 PM DUST was made by CCP Shanghai. Also they're firing 49 people (http://themittani.com/news/ccp-confirms-layoffs) from PR an publishing divisions and not a single developer is among them. Hopefully a lot of the folks Hilmar hired from his extended family for low-level positions who only serve to infuriate people through the support page are on the chopping block
Title: Re: ...and... Dust to be released on PC Post by: Nevermore on June 05, 2014, 05:02:16 PM Does that mean White Wolf, too? Is there even anything left of them anyway?

CS, CM, marketing, live-ops etc. One of the guys let go has been there 11 years and has worked in almost every department. Title: Re: ...and... Dust to be released on PC Post by: Gets on June 06, 2014, 07:20:36 PM Don't worry the former EA execs are still there :oh_i_see:
Title: Re: ...and... Dust to be released on PC Post by: MahrinSkel on June 08, 2014, 02:32:41 PM As usual in the gaming industry, a complete strategic failure requires firing the rank and file to preserve the bonuses of the strategists. Otherwise, you might lose those executives to another company.
Title: Re: ...and... Dust to be released on PC Post by: Merusk on June 09, 2014, 01:52:03 PM As usual in It's not just gaming. The same thing happened in Housing, Construction and Architecture when the bottom fell out in 2008. Peons go first, execs last, unless they've pissed-off someone above them. Title: Re: ...and... Dust to be released on PC Post by: Draegan on June 09, 2014, 01:57:54 PM Dust was released? I didn't know that.
Title: Re: ...and... Dust to be released on PC Post by: Aiwass on July 07, 2014, 01:28:22 PM Dust was released? I didn't know that. It was released to the thunderous roar of nobody giving a fuck. The massive derp in not making it a PC based title is beyond imagining. DUST for WoD? Jesus weeps. Title: Re: ...and... Dust to be released on PC Post by: Brolan on July 08, 2014, 05:01:40 AM Since I re-activated occasionally I fly through a system with a large number of infantry in chat. I don't know how to interact with them. Did they ever implement that feature where you could do fire support missions?
Title: Re: ...and... Dust to be released on PC Post by: Gets on July 11, 2014, 01:10:04 PM Yes. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSwD7k2lww8#t=176)
