Leaders should innovate and pave the way for everyone else to keep their lead. Not cave due to lesser competitors offering more.
Oh, it makes sense as a business strategy. Nobody doubts that.
Makes no sense when regular consumers defend it.
This is such a bad post. This feature is really a game changer for so many people. For some people they can finally move their characters and play with friends, for others they can play on multiple devices in their homes, for others it means they can move to superior hardware and enjoy the game better.
For the industry at large this is a great development, and may be one of the initial pushes that finally breaks down these walled gardens, and means that players can play whenever with whoever they want.
im very curious about how these decisions get approved by MS, Nintendo, Steam, Google so easily while it takes weeks or months for Sony to O.K. the same features.
This entire forum has the bought the perk Quickdraw: Pitchfork.
This is the point where you admit that you really jumped the gun, Mr. "sony is losing their lead next gen", instead of doubling down.
Count me as one of those 10, I'd love to see what my characters play like at 60fps.
So basically if i want to take my Titan on PS4 now onto PC i would have to buy Destiny 2 on PC?
Because the former already have set policies for this, whereas the latter is running a beta for it.
Well, yes.
I want apologise. Y'all cursing at my friend Sony. They was just tryna protect the children. Y'all know Sony loves the kids.
Where's the Austin tweet about hot takes? Holy crap. This place has been awful the past few days. You don't like something or think its important, just go shit on everyone else.
Welcome to ignore.
Yeah if it's instant not a big deal. I'll just need turn wait and see I guess.
What does this have to do with my post? I thought all the complaining was about them not doing crossplay? Now it's about the expediency of them supporting it? Sounds like a classic case of moving the goalposts.
They gave everyone what they wanted, after everyone made themselves heard about what they wanted. I don't understand how this is anything but an arguably sound business strategy.
I think this whole crossplay thing is way overblown and has been mostly used to score PR points in the "console wars" but you know what good for Bungie for convincing Sony to pull it off.
They do market research and if players get upset, they take it into account. But it isnt like resetera and twitter are that research.
Yep, I get to take my ps4 characters and transfer to PC where the game runs great. Thanks Sony!
Anything about account mergers if you have PS4 and PC? Or will you need to just pick one to use moving forward?
Stop being a forum apologist!!!! Forum is not your friend or something.
They put certain things in there related to next DLC. The Moon is already in the main director screen now, you can click on it and but the expansion.
I can finally take my playing on PC seriously this autumn. I started a playthrough with the vanilla version, but lost motivation due to having to start all over.
Nah, those having a meltdown over something pending like it was a clear no and calling people who said pending isn't a no, corporate apologist aren't justified at all. Just look like big babies now, crying over nothing.
Those who were just fearing the worst are fine though, pending approval isn't a no, but it's also not a yes either, so perfectly understandable they'd assume the worst.
I know it'll never happen, but cross-buy for the expansion / paid content would be the ideal. I have copies for PS4 and PC, but there's no point in cross save if I end up needing to buy content on both platforms, or literally having to switch platforms to play specific content. I love the direction, but I feel like platform holders are always going to get in the way of this.
You mean to tell me that the exclusive software Sony produces for their proprietary walled garden is one of the chief reasons consumers buy into their walled garden to begin with?
Say it isn't so.
That was already obvious. The day consoles drop exclusives is day I stop using consoles. One is already down, but I don't see the other two following any time soon.
1) this isn't crossplay, it's cross save
2) while it's not going to be used by the majority, both cross save and cross play are very cool features that some people will really enjoy and it's maddening that it's always the same company that refuses to cooperate.
I'm curious what you think "running a beta" for cross play means on Sony's end besides arbitrary gate keeping.
Good. Now get your shit together Sony, so developers can do the things they need to do without waiting for permission.
It will be nice to play Gambit or run strikes regardless of platform though.
If you already know, then why are you asking me? It is arbitrary gatekeeping because it's in BETA.
Oh yeah didn't see that it's going F2P, Nice one chap. No reason not to do it then, Even crazier when you involve Stadia.
Didn't know that cross-save = exclusives or ERA bubble = world
