THE BIG PS3 THREAD - The Bear and Badger

PSN should be back up now btw.

GurtTractor

Yeah it's working again now, no idea what happened though.

Matt_82

Just technical issues by the looks of it.

Something to remember about Dust is that it is made by CCP, who have released 17 expansions so far (major content, gameplay and graphics updates) for EVE Online. So Dust 514 is going to be evolving constantly, and there's almost certainly going to be some really major changes and additions down the line. This is unlike most shooters that don't tend to change much past release, usually because the developer is working on the sequel.

The consoles have a terrible history of this not happening to varying degrees. Sony and MS both charge developers to roll out updates.

Raiziel

It's something like $25,000 per update with MS, isn't it? Â Expensive.

Maybe not. Or not as much anyway.

""We have complete ability to service and update the game as much as needed," Brandon Laurino declared.

So patching won't cost $40,000, as it did Tim Schafer and Double Fine?

"We've worked out a framework where it's certainly not at that level, and essentially it's not even a thought, it's a completely trivial part of the equation," answered Laurino."

I forgot that PS+ automatically takes the Â£11.99 out of your bank account monthly. Not too fussed now though as i'm getting all those free games. I never completed Space Marine.

@gurt: sorry dude my daughters watching some minecraft stuff in bed so I can't use the laptop.
Would be awesome if we could get in the same squad so we can chat there!

Letting knuckle have a try as he's over for the weekend while my gf is in newcastle seing her brother.

GurtTractor

I'll just keep going on top server thing hopefully I won't land a jeep on you!
(Just figured how to get a lav)

Seriously bewilderd by the amount og dropsuits/skills/weapons etc.

Still aint got me a scrambler pistol and loads of folks with mini guns laying waste.

GurtTractor

If you have any questions at all about something in Dust just send me a msg. Cannot wait until the 29th, I'm not sure but I think that's when it might be going open beta.

That's a very big plus, I just wish the game looked a bit more inspiring now.

im full of questions after last night, still cant get my head round how you buy stuff and how you use skill points.
not that i haven't just im flinging them in stuff and they make no diffrence, (put them on assault rather than militia i think)Â
must remember to restock.

also i read about que synching, can you explain it better.

really want a scrambler pistol so i bought 4 but cant use any!!!!Â
grrrrrrrrr.

GurtTractor

Get on steam chat tonight and I'll help sort all that out. I'll be on in an hour or so.

Erm, I think I should also remind you about the pain-in-the-ass NDA. It probably only really affects fools who upload footage to youtube or basically write an entire preview on the closed beta. But I'd really hate to see anyone get permabanned.

From here-
Â "Going forward, we will continue to enforce the NDA to its fullest measure and any Closed Beta participants found in breach of the NDA will receive a permanent ban on their DUST 514 account(s), without exceptions."

Yikes.

After the football ?

sorry got the old edge lot (on twitter) confused with this place.

still if theres a few of us we could do.

Scotswahey

So that Eve FPS is still coming out then? I thought it'd died a death. Good news. MAG evolved quite a lot following it's release. For a time it made things really interesting but they have to be careful they don't lose the main reason people join the game. That began to happen with MAG.

Its for 90 days which is even better! 3 months to get through that lot - though with it instantly renewing then might just leave it running. That's a lot of gaming for Â£3.75 per month.

BBC sports app beta is available now.

Bollockoff

Just need some confirmation on the losing your PS+ games malarkey out of curiosity. So what happens if you cancel your sub to PS +? All the games you got for free and a discount off the service get deleted from your HD?

JMW

Not the discounted ones.

GurtTractor

Nothing gets deleted, it just wont play until you renew your +subscription. The free stuff anyway, I think the discounted stuff is ok.

Rev

For about 4 quid a month its been worth it so far.

regmcfly

I posted this on twitter, but I think my grand plan for my ps3 is to collect all the HD remasters. I have MGS (360 tho), Ico/SotC, and Tomb Raider. Any other ones to get first?

Sasukekun

Ratchet and Clank coming soon. You also have both God of War sets

I_R

First Dust 514 content available on PSN tomorrow

Don't we have a thread for this? I can't find it.

4,000 Aurum ($20 USD value) - the in-game currency for DUST 514 that you can buy in the PS Store
30-dat Active Skill Booster - increases earned Skill Points (SP) by 50%
'Dragonfly' Scout Dropuit - a uniquely designed armor with unlimited use
'Toxin" ICD-9 Submachine Gun with unlimited use and a custom skin
HK4M Shotgun X 50
Hacked Drop Uplink x 50 - allows players to create on-the-spot spawn points for their teammates
Fused Locus Grenade x 50
1.5dn Myofibril Stimulant x 50 - offers players a temporary melee damage boost against opponents
All Access Beta Pass - allows players to participate in every Beta Event, as well as additional play sessions during off weekends

Looks like a recipe for failure. I can understand the desire to charge for beta access, but it's a huge mistake. By the time this comes out of beta, only the people who've already paid will be interested. Paying for a damage boost looks dubious as well.

Devil May Cry? Ninja Gaiden Sigma.

Scotswahey

A paid for damage boost is only going to hurt the games new players in the long run. Imagine going into a lobby full of experienced players with damage upgrades, you'd be fucked.

There's also Jak & Daxter, Silent Hill and Splinter Cell according to Amazon.

Howdy, Stranger!
