Farewells to DUST514:
A small goodbye to DUST514, from current and past players and bitter-vets
Special Guest:
This week’s guest is Daniel Maslovsky from the game-studio Craneballs, here to discuss their kickstarter game Planet Nomads! It is an interesting Sci-fi Survival Sandbox games, and several Bammsters are already backers on Kickstarter!
From GameWatcher: "DUST 514 was first announced back in 2009 for the PlayStation 3 as a first person shooter played in conjunction with the massively multiplayer space sim EVE Online, and its final build was launched in 2013. CCP has announced that DUST 514 will be shuttered on May 30th 2016, with a new FPS being developed to replace it."
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.
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.
From launch to death Dust was only really ever a poor mans M.A.G. God I miss M.A.G and Valor.
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.
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
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.
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...
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.
I've always wanted to delve into the EVE universe, but EVE online really intimidates me. This seems like a good gateway.
"People are gonna die playing this game"
"That sounds amazing!"

sony has done some smart things with MMO this gen hopefully moving forward they will invest more into free to play
