I believe they will announce Cross-play alongside PS5. Maybe not the most sensical thing, and I hope the crowd doesnt cheer for something that should have happened years earlier, but I do believe it will be a PS5 announcement.
they're not doing it for the things that matter to the devs who are asking them to make it possible, while having 9 reasons to not making it possible.
ok, good job sony for making cross play possible with mobile/pc/macSo, PC, Mac and mobile devices doesn't count for crossplay, only X1 and Switch matters. Gotcha
ok, good job sony for making cross play possible with mobile/pc/mac
now allow it for xbo and switch as well
is that better?
But there are also a people who don't want nor don't care about it. THE VAST MAJORITY don't.
You will see this a lot in this thread since it is about Sony.
I got all consoles and a PC, my daughter a Switch, my parents own a ps4 and PC. The Ps4s are used less since there are more and more games we can play all together on the others crossplattform
So, PC, Mac and mobile devices doesn't count, only X1 and Switch matters. Gotcha
Can you back this up with anything that isn't anecdotal evidenceBut there are also a people who don't want nor don't care about it. THE VAST MAJORITY don't.
Btw. Sony is doing crossplay actually. It's fucking dumb to say they aren't doing it.
At last I truly see.C'mon guys, stop asking for this. Why would you even want to play with friends on another platform? If they're really important to you, why don't you buy the platform they're on, or ask them to buy yours?
If you keep up this entitled attitude, we're risking the important things (my favorite corporation's bottom line) for some trivial benefit (like expanded options as a gamer and consumer). Be careful what you wish for.
I just want Borderlands 3 to have PS4 to PC crossplay. Would really suck if not. I may even give the game a pass in that case.

This is actually blowing my god damn mind.
"Nobody owns 4 playstations in a family so they can't play together :'(((( "
That's why split-screen was invented, ya dummy.
no one said anything like that, stop with the bad faith arguments.Surely millions and millions of people ditched their PS4s and bought Switch or X1 for crossplay
They are selectively doing it. So no they are not doing it.But there are also a people who don't want nor don't care about it. THE VAST MAJORITY don't.

Get off your Sony high horse. First, yes those others count for crossplay. Which begs the question, if Sony can do it for them why not for Switch + Xbox? Second, you talk about a huge majority not wanting crossplay, can I get some receipts for that? Or are you conflating those that don't care with those that don't want it? Even then it makes it sound like you don't want a company to cater for minorities...
Yeah, stop living in ERA bubble and you'll see that vast majority don't care about crossplay.
this is the biggest thing. a game like division 2 will be fine for years, even if it sucks that you can't play with your friends on other platforms you won't run out of randoms to play with. but for smaller games (indies, smaller fighting games, etc) cross play would be a godsend cuz the online population drops quick but if all platforms are pooled together that can massively increase the life of the game.
that doesn't mean it shouldn't happen. ok the majority doesn't care, so what? enable it for the minority that does care and does want it.Yeah, stop living in ERA bubble and you'll see that vast majority don't care about crossplay.
Twitter disagrees.Yeah, stop living in ERA bubble and you'll see that vast majority don't care about crossplay.
With Division having a multiple tier end game content with no way to go back and do pre-level 30 missions or garuntee that people struggling to get their footing in the first 10 level have a fun experience..this is the biggest thing. a game like division 2 will be fine for years, even if it sucks that you can't play with your friends on other platforms you won't run out of randoms to play with. but for smaller games (indies, smaller fighting games, etc) cross play would be a godsend cuz the online population drops quick but if all platforms are pooled together that can massively increase the life of the game.
.
Again, receipts?
And if many don't care, what's the problem with having it for those that do want it?
Yeah, stop living in ERA bubble and you'll see that vast majority don't care about crossplay. It's so pathetic that some people here accusing others for "corporate defender" just because they said they don't care about crossplay
100 page thread incoming. I'm going to laugh if it passes a certain other thread.
Like i said, surely millions and millions of people ditched their PS4s and bought Switch or X1 for crossplay or maybe PS4 MAU reduced rapidly. IIRC from last report, MAU on PS4 grew, right.
i'm not sure if ubi asked it sony would say no, i don't think they want to say no to the big boys, so the pressure should also be put on big publishers (ea, ubi, activision) to work on it.With Division having a multiple tier end game content with no way to go back and do pre-level 30 missions or garuntee that people struggling to get their footing in the first 10 level have a fun experience..
The user base would be somewhat fragmented. I still think crossplay would help those entry level people.

Good, you want crossplay. That's great. But maybe you should accept that vast majority don't care.
You couldn't be more wrong, Xbox doesn't care if you buy the Xbox at this point, as long as you use their services. As long as you have a entry point they are happy. The whole next gen is being aimed at "play anywhere" with them.This Cross Play begging is tiresome. I wish it was a banable offense here like port begging. Whats obvious is that consumers want it. Why wouldn't they? But whats not so obvious is that like exclusive games, a walled platform is super effective in selling hardware especially if you are the leading box console. Why do you think PS4 ran away with it??? We all can hate on it, but whoever has the lead has always done it, since the beginning of online games. Microsoft isn't a righteous pro-consumer advocate. They haven't changed. They just don't have the lead so that strategy doesn't work in their favor. They want you to buy an Xbox and still have your friends to play with, which most of them are probably on PS4.
what a nonsensical argumentLike i said, surely millions and millions of people ditched their PS4s and bought Switch or X1 for crossplay or maybe PS4 MAU reduced rapidly. IIRC from last report, MAU on PS4 grew, right.
It's still a thing though, yoshi p has been fighting for both cross play on xbox and switch. Though if the supposed leaked Brazil retail rating of shadowbringers is true we might finally get it.Throwing down that card as if it means anything anymore. That was how many years ago?!?!?! We are in a totally different world now
Yeah, stop living in ERA bubble and you'll see that vast majority don't care about crossplay. It's so pathetic that some people here accusing others for "corporate defender" just because they said they don't care about crossplay
i'm done, you're just repeating the same things over and over without reading people's replies and answers to your arguments.It isn't. PS4 sales, MAUs ( or PS+ subs ) should be reduced greatly if Sony crossplay stance has an effect.
In which world is "I don't care" a compelling argument?Yeah, stop living in ERA bubble and you'll see that vast majority don't care about crossplay. It's so pathetic that some people here accusing others for "corporate defender" just because they said they don't care about crossplay
From what i understand, implementing crossplay has zero implications for devs and Epic has a platform that's free to use for devs even.There are four PS4s in my house. We still don't ALL play together much.
I get the point though.
What I really want is more games to have split screen multiplayer so I can have four PS4s and 16 players in the same house.
You can say that about most things. Should we stop giving a shit about God of War because the vast majority didn't play it on PS4?Not everyone wants a cross play or don''t give a shit about it. The vast majority actually. Even here who are stuck in Era bubble.
There is a difference between not personally caring about crossplay vs actively defending Sony's business interests vs having more options.Yeah, stop living in ERA bubble and you'll see that vast majority don't care about crossplay. It's so pathetic that some people here accusing others for "corporate defender" just because they said they don't care about crossplay
