You realise sony has allowed this for years right?
4 the playas
And it still doesn't make any sense.
How do you know they don't already allow it? Just because you've never seen it in action ?
Sony has allowed this for years lol.
How does it work now with pc?
Yes.
I don't know if i like the idea of introducing mouse and keyboard players into the console space.
They're not informed and somehow this awesome news has clouded their memory.
Needs to be quoted as much as possible:So from what I gather Microsoft is making it easier for developers to implement this kind of cross platform online multiplayer while simultaneously opening up their network to support it in the first place, with other console networks too. Nice.
I wonder if Sony will accept any invitation (Rocket League is currently PC/XBO cross platform multiplayer at the moment) - since they are in a position of power to leverage sales from more people knowing they can buy a PS4 to play with their friends, over an Xbox One or even PC.
It's fun to take potshots at Nintendo, except the Wii U has had a fair few cross platform multiplayer games, for example Nnooo's Cubemen 2 supported cross-online-multiplayer between Wii U, Linux, Mac OS, PC and iOS.
Also: Pure Chess on Wii U. Nintendo was fine with cross-platform multiplayer even to PSN.
There are a few more Wii U indie titles that do it, but I digress.
They're (Nintendo) changing their policies on the technical side a lot swifter. We're launching Pure Chess and Knytt Underground later this year, and on Pure Chess we asked whether we could do cross-platform multiplayer, expecting it to be the typical closed console platform I've been used to working with for 20 years. Within a couple of days they said, 'yep, no problem. You can have other console players playing against Wii U players. You can have smartphone players play against them. No problem.'
We're still talking to Sony about them relaxing their policies, but we don't think they'll have any issue with it. So when we launch Pure Chess you'll be able to play against Wii U, 3DS, iOS and Android players. And when we patch PlayStation those consoles will be added into the mix as well.
This is pretty cool. If PSN enables play with Xbox as well it effectively ends the "which console are you getting it on" issue for multiplayer games. Your friend can have one console and you another and still enjoy a game together. That's great.
Now now hopefully we all have our heads in the clouds...playing together!! YeaaaaaaOf course, with your head on the clouds it is hard to think.
Any reason why? Or is it just a feeling?
Why do people keep saying this? Sony hasn't been against it. That's why YoshiP (FFXIV producer) has been saying that ball is in Microsoft's court as far as if the game will ever come to the Xbox One because they have to allow cross-platform play between the Xbox One and the PS4/PC. Dragon Quest X was also announced for the PS4, which means it's going to have cross-platform play between it and Nintendo platforms as well as the PC.
Wonder what this means for Azure server usage for MP titles.
People who play kb/m have no advantage in RL.Aren't they already doing it with RL?
Amazing new for gamers overall.
But looks like MS is moving even more from Xbox console brand.
Loving the 'come on Sony' posts - its not like they having been doing this for ages already
ps3ud0 8)
It was Microsoft!! Lol wth. Until now that is
It doesn't. There's no way to party up with your friends on across PS4 and PC in Rocket League, devs explanation here:How does it work now with pc?

Wait... Sony already allows for cross play between platforms, specifically Wii U and Xbone? Wasn't aware of that.
Really? It was Microsoft. Sorry guys but Microsoft was the bad guy in this story until today.
I don't understand how people are just ignoring that fact.

Microsoft. Like, how many multiplatform multiplayer games are on the Wii U and PS4/Xbox One? MS has been the one that's been stubborn about letting other console players play against those on XBL.
Did you even read that post. It's Microsoft who's been stopping it for "security" reasons

They need to implement a friend code system ala Street Fighter V
Yes, like I mentioned earlier, Dragon Quest X is coming to the PS4 which means it's going to be cross-platform with Nintendo consoles.
It wasn't just MS. Show me the Nintendo-Sony cross network games.
Dq 10 when it releases on ps4. Microsoft had the policy no one else but we aren't about to do this im here this is good news for everyoneIt wasn't just MS. Show me the Nintendo-Sony cross network games.
Where have they been actively preventing it like Microsoft has in the past? I think every time cross platform play has been brought up to devs, MS has been the roadblock.No they havent? They've allowed it on about 2 games.
