What more information do you need? Everyone involved in the issue has clearly said what the holdup is. Do you not believe Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Epic, BGS, etc. when they talk about this?
While I do believe ultimately Sony is the main issue, I do think there are other technical issues that certainly complicate the matter. Especially when we are talking about F76 with the team being new in the area of mp, let alone cross-play itself.
There aren't more technical hurdles at play though. That's just your own assumptions. Everyone with insight into the matter has already told us what the issue is. For some reason, you just don't want to believe them.
Ps4 and XB1 would just be a bigger player pool, I doubt it's be too complicated to allow. Can maybe see them having problems with a invite system as they usually require a separate in-game account (like a EPIC account in Fortnite, which you use to invite people) and I'm not sure how hard something like that is to set up, but again I doubt it's super complex.
Because they are not made public, they don't exist. If this is how you look at it then so bid. I see it differently. Doesn't mean I am not aligned with you and the millions(?) of others who hold Sony accountable for the cross-play issues.
There's no mention of them anywhere, no evidence of the issues. What makes you so enlightened to claim that these issues exist?
I am not saying it is super complicated. It could easily be a simple one line of code issue. I don't know. Which is why I expressed wanting more information is all.
What you want is for someone to give you a reason to absolve Sony of some blame. You want the developer to say there's some herculean technical hurdle to overcome preventing console cross play when there isn't, we saw console cross play working in Fortnite before Sony shut it down.
I can see Rockstar making them bend, but I doubt they'll actually say anything on the matter.
Cross play and cross progression go hand in hand. Cross progression is (imo) neccissary if players are expected/pressures to heavily invest in microtransactions for certain games. Because of the Fortnite issue, I won't spend another penny on any cosmetic/microtransaction items on a Sony platform until the issue is resolved.
Previously, everybody hates playing with pc. Higher fps, keyboard and mouse, higher resolution(longer draw distance) and cheaters.
There's already hardware discrepancies within the same ecosystems though.
Sorry for the length between replies, I'm on baby duty atm.
I was responding to this comment from you.
The only option to avoid hardware discrepancies would be to only play multiplayer on Switch for games that don't support crossplay. Multiple hardware configurations exist in the ps and Xbox ecosystems and obviously with PC gaming.
I guess so. But isn't having the option the best of both worlds?
Platform exclusives, form factors, price. All the same reasons that already exist.
Right. It's also one of the reasons I play mp less and prefer coop nowadays. It's hard to get an even playing field. I'm sure I'll open up to it though. I just need to find the right game. I love Fallout so maybe I'm thinking this might be it if they do implement crossplay.
Yes, we are...is this offensive or something? New news, new thread. Don't like it? Pressure Sony to change their stance and there will be no need for new topics like this ;)
