Dust 514 Impressions | FPS Guru

FPS Guru writes:

"For the last 10 years CCP has made a mark for themselves in the MMORPG world with one of the most intricate, detailed, and expansive series to ever hit the internets, EVE Online. Now as the company gets ready for its bold new adventure into the F2P MMOFPS arena via the PS3, one has to wonder what to expect from a company that’s main game is just as well known for its corporate espionage as it is for its ginormous space battles. Recently, we got a chance to get some hands-on time with the upcoming beta and find out just what separates it from the herd."

Played this for few minutes earlier. Jeezus christ this game is awesome.If you don't have the beta i recommend that you download it.

LOGICWINS4102d ago

I'll try it out tonight! Oddly enough, I've never tried out any FTP games on PSN(DC Universe/Free Realms).

Viper74102d ago

It has pretty hefty learning curve tough, and needs a bit different approach than most of the fps games e.g Lone wolfing is heavily punished getting shot down by a mob of players who know your exact location.

HammadTheBeast4102d ago (Edited 4102d ago )

In the next update, there is also massive graphics boost and vegetation added. Along with new guns, maps, overall optimization, better stuff in general. I've been in the beta a while now and the game completely changes with every patch/update.

RTheRebel4102d ago

soe has some amazing fpshooters dust 514 i recommend this is awesome title and planetside 2
Go AnD downLoad

ScubbaSteve4102d ago (Edited 4102d ago )

I wasn't a big fan of planetside 2, it is neat conceptually but everyone just runs around in one big group and never bothers defending anything. I was always going from base to base with very little resistance or I was being stomped by a group that was horrendously larger than the group I was in. In the end the even match fights only seem to last until someone says "hey why don't we just go around getting credits by taking over empty bases". I'm not sure if the servers were just too small and that's why everything was empty or what, but there really needs to be some incentive to actually have a fight.

If you've ever played GW2s WvW pvp it is surprisingly similar.

Rob Hornecker4102d ago

I think that alot of people go into Dust 514 with a CoD style of run and gun play. As with battlefield,teamwork will be the key to enjoying Dust514.

I just D/l'ed the beta and can't wait to try it out!!! It looks like Battlefield meets Halo.

ChipChipperson4102d ago

I enjoyed the beta. The only thing I didn't like was how the menus, especially the store, are really cluttered with a lot of stuff.

PirateThom4102d ago

I think that shows how deep the customisation is... it's definitely off putting when you're just starting.

mayberry4102d ago

Closed beta really opened my eys to how deep this title is, now that it's open, it should get even more interesting. Great game!

ironmonkey4102d ago

i really enjoyed it alot. needs alot of work and since it's still in beta form, i'd start with the framerate. only possible on ps3!

CCP has announced that DUST 514 will be shuttered on May 30th 2016, with a new FPS being developed to replace it."

this should be interesting.

Findingcrybabies2996d ago (Edited 2996d ago )

wow. that's messed up. I don't play the game, but shutting it down and then a month after that showing your replacement game after you told the community screw you. LOL. Remind me to never support or play a CCP game. There are games that came out many years before this one and the devs keep the servers up for people.

samden2996d ago

It's on an old console and was nearly dead in the water when it launched. Not much of a community left to anger. Quite frankly, it sucked, and I'm excited to see what the next one will bring.

Tony-Red-Grave2996d ago

From launch to death Dust was only really ever a poor mans M.A.G. God I miss M.A.G and Valor.

Pongwater2996d ago

Dust 514 was free so I don't see your point, but I do find your name ironic.

@Tony - Yeah I still wish for MAG2, or even a PS4 remaster of MAG.

evergrace2996d ago

One of the worst shooter games on ps3.

noxeven2996d ago

I remember them saying it was supposed to contribute to eve and everyone was up in arms and that never happened and it just fell to the way side

Pongwater2996d ago

I'm not sure enough people ever played DUST 514 to say "everyone was up in arms", but there were in fact cross play battles between EVE and DUST.

It was a cool concept with some sizable flaws, but I'd be interested in a sequel that addressed some of those flaws. I thought I heard there was a PS4 version coming, but maybe that's my imagination.

tanukisuit2996d ago

It was definitely ambitious given the tech involved and how late into last gen we were. They tried though and cross gameplay is getting more relevant, so I think not all was lost...

Player-created DUST514 Trailer Calls For EVE:Phoenix

DUST514 players create EVE:Phoenix trailers as part of their #PortDUST514 campaign.

Since the announcement of the DUST514 sequel EVE:Legion by CCP Games at FanFest 2014, there has been an almost eerie silence about the project from the game’s creators. Domains and trademarks were registered, and later left expired, for the EVE:Legion brand, and the player base was left watching as no actual news or progress updates were given by CCP, even at the various player-gatherings or CCP’s own FanFest 2015.

The players of DUST514, both past and current, have rallied under a banner, #PortDUST514, led by Ripley Riley, and are using this hashtag on social media to highlight that there is still a desire for a sequel or a port of the game to a more recent platform than the Playstation 3.
Most recently, this has resulted in the players creating propaganda posters and “memes”, and even voiced trailers, for what they themselves have named EVE:Phoenix.

The player Pokey Dravon, with the help of several other players, created this trailer for the campaign.
