Dev on Sony’s Crossplay Stance: ‘Families Want to Play Together and Nobody Owns Four PlayStations’
- Thread starter Cranster
- Start date
That's the type of discourse I was aluding to in reiterated cross-play threads.
No. Sony's stance on (console) cross-play is anti-consumer.
I would not like to have crossplay between pc and consoles, for example many games don't have good anti cheat measures. Also I dont feel like having a competitive disadvantage (facing pc mouse keyboard) or advantage (facing people with tiny mobile phone screen with bad controls) is fun. I am surprised to not see more people against crossplay.
It's pretty much PC/Mobile fine. Other consoles only if your game is big enough to cause us a stink if we say no.
You're shitting all over the thread and have about a quarter of the posts so far. The troll here is pretty obvious.
on the first page your account for 22% of the posts in this thread. for something you think doesn't matter you sure want that participation trophy.
Oh yeah, that Bell has been rung long ago.
"It's everyone that's wrong, not ME."
Applies both Sony and a disengenious user here.
Why don't you finish sitting this one out? Sony isn't going anywhere, don't worry too much.
User banned (3 days): Trolling and engaging in system wars behavior after previously having been warned about both.
No, they are greedy! Even if 1 person buys an xbox they probably take the money for a ps4 out of an intern. And if xbox sells 1000 more, they sell the intern to Caribbean pirates.
But you are right, especially since we have moved to more digital and probably ps5 will have backwards compatability it will still be the leader.
Maybe they can't do it right? The name change they allowed broke games I heard so what will crosplay do? Brick consoles? Anthem did that with no problem.
You have the gall to say this after I offered you a discussion on this topic. Tell me, why did you target me in this thread?
If you include a phone and a game console that's two. If both parents have phones that's three. Toss in a tablet, PC, or another game console and you have a lot suddenly.
It's usually an option to disable it if you want it to be or automatically filtered depending on who you play with to prevent advantages/diadvantages for everyone. I just wish more games had cross-platform party systems, I don't really care too much if it's just a flat playerbase increase with no way to play with people you want.
There are points to be made for crossplay (like friends who are on different platforms, ability to find instant matches, etc.), But family play is hardly a good one.
Sony already often supports PC and mobile xplay (sometimes more than the competition).
If devs/ publishers cared that much about family play, they'd promote couch co-op and cheap digital bundles x-platform (buying 1 copy gets you multiple versions for free or heavily discounted).

I did. But people keep on quoting me.
I can't just ignore all those that quote me.
And you can't ignore the quotes until they stop? You're being pretty ridiculous in this thread, of course you're going to get quoted until you either stop acting like this or stop posting itt altogether
Chucklefish pretty much said it's as easy as flipping a switch, yet Sony, for super shitty anti-consumer reasons, doesn't want gamers playing together with every game.
That's an asshole move no matter how you look at it. Just like it was MS being the assholes last gen. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Okay Sony doesnt have an issue with crossplay with mobile devices so I don't know why you even bring that up and there aren't even that many games that crossplay between mobile and consoles.
I am talking about multiple consoles...
I'm saying you shouldn't post a bunch of ridiculous stuff in a thread, then say you're going to leave and not expect people to quote you/call you out.
As long as the mobile/pc players aren't friends with Switch or Xbox players.
there's literally no reason to defend this practice. you're not even getting paid to defend this garbage.
Good riddance.
At least I had an understanding in the first place.
Don't let the crossplay door hit you on the way out.
lol Some are truly strongly against it to that extent for...reasons
I don't think that's it. Crossplay isn't really handled on their end. It's handled by the developers of the game. I mean, we have crossplay working just fine with PC and Mobile for the PS4 and even the Switch can crossplay with no issues, despite Nintendo's shitty online service. Maybe there is a difference with their specific online system but, so far, it seems to be more so that Sony deliberately doesn't want to do it and only caves if the game is big enough and gets enough attention
Ok for real then why the fuck does this thread brother you so much? Why are you trying to downplay sony's fuck up with cross-play?
Alright. Let's get something straight, I haven't posted a "bunch of ridiculous stuff in this thread", and I didn't say I was going to leave this thread.
I have the right to answer questions, and call out those who insinuate shit about me.
They can cross play with the tiny amount of mobile games that allow it regardless. They already did it with Fortnite before. And again I was talking about consoles... Who even wants to play a mobile game with console players?
They kinda had to. The game runs at a lower frame-rate so they had it so that Switch and Mobile players crossplay with each other. That being said, I believe that you can still join any party, regardless of platform
Yeah, most families don't own multiple PS4, but they do own a PS4, XO and/or NS... It seems to me, that this idea seemed a little bit stupid even for this developer himself, considering he didn't mention any crossplay between consoles in his example, only PS4-mobile one, that we already have in addition to PS4-PC.
I've only shared one post on my annoyance with the lack news or opinion in the OP. That's it.
The rest is just back and forth.
Families, friends, millions of people that play games for fun and don't need to try and be the best at everything.
I know what they mean but this is as good an excuse as any to remind everyone that splitscreen is a thing and I wish devs didn't forget about it. Even Halo for a second there forgot about it!
I would have expected that any and every gamer worth their salt has a very good chance of owning four PlayStations.
PlayStation
PlayStation 2
PlayStation 3
PlayStation 4
(PlayStation doesn't automatically mean PS4, especially not if you happen to appreciate older videogames.)
