I miss Dust 514, the sandbox FPS character development and economic structure has been an amazing concept, and yet, no one has matched or followed it. The originators of Dust’s concept and structure was amazing. it wasn’t until they handed it off to an individual who was hopelessly disconnected from the community as a whole that it started to nose dive. Amazingly the same person was chosen to direct Project nova, and he pushed to eliminate the only thing that made Dust separate from all other FPS’s which was that sandbox customization of the character, and it of course arrived DOA at launch date. Remove that one person and Dust could make a massive come back.
Same, Haven’t played games for like 6 years after they took dust away from me. I tried in the beginning but nothing compares to the feeling I had when I played dust 😢
Hey, your six-year anniversary gameplay video and commentary on Eve: Dust 514 is pretty cool. I'm working on a research project that's looking into player experiences on games like Dust 514, and as you seem to be quite knowledgeable about it I was wondering if I could speak with you via Skype, Google Hangouts, or phone call (whichever you’re most comfortable with) to discuss your experiences with the game (what you liked, didn't like etc.). You would be paid $100 for roughly 45 - 60 minutes of your time. If you’re interested in this let me know so that we can schedule a time to talk. :) - Nick
perhaps they could integrate dust with eve by... idk, combining them into one. like you play in eve in your spaceship, but when you get to a certain planet, it gives you a prompt to either accept an on-the-ground mission or ignore it. that's just me though, not sure anyone else had this kind of idea in mind.
Found this video after some deep floating nostalgia... but commenting to let you know that you can play your PS4 controller on PS3 wirelessly! Haha, go to bluetooth settings, scan, press the TouchPad and PS button simultaneously to connect, cheers man
I don't trust in CCP or anyone making anything like this again, I think if we do this it'd be a win so we can keep playing Dust and others who never played it in that time can get to playing it in 2022 and it might attract some actual game developers that yes there is interest in this style of game
The problem was that they launched the game on PS3, when it was nearing the end of its era and PS4 was in development. On top of that, the game wasn't able to attract a lot of people, due to all the mixed reviews of the game on launch. It's a shame though, Dust was one of the best shooters out there
If they had waited til the PS4 was released, the game would probably still be alive. Hell, it'd be on par if not have a bigger playerbase than Planetside 2
